My Little Elven Child

This is my little daughter Cadence, and she was patient enough for me to try out elf ears on her.
And she was a little trooper through the shoot aswell, she was all shivering and cold but she wanted to keep shooting! He she is, my little elf.

Newly Natural Queen of the Week: Tiara

Enjoy the featured NNQ of the week!
Aren't her dreads AMAZING?

Name: Tiara

Time Natural: About a year and a half

Why did you go natural?

I wanted something different, and was tired of perming my hair. Plus, the last perm that I had broke my hair off. Especially around the edges. My older cousin also heavily influenced me since she has had locs for 8 years, and they are absolutely gorgeous.

Did you BC, transition, or both?

I started 2 two-strand twist; my ends were still permed. And I did the BC Oct 1, 2008 with about 3 inches or natural hair.

What response did you get when you BC’d?

None of my friends liked it at all. Not even my mom (even though she soon followed suit and loc’d hers). No one said anything super negative that I wanted to throw a perm in my hair. I mostly got “Why” and “What if you don’t look right with locs?”

What is your hair care regimen?

I really don’t have one. I get my hair re-twisted every 6 weeks. My stylist uses shea butter and coconut oil to re-twist my locs. And I try to grease my scalp and moisturize my hair at least 2 times a week with Dudley’s Hair & Scalp conditioner, especially since I get my hair colored so often. I’ve been blonde, platinum blonde, auburn, and orange. My hair really doesn’t take that much effort to maintain; it just seems to need love.

What is your hair type?

I obviously have locs, but my new growth is mostly 4a with some 3c.

What makes you a natural hair queen?

I’ve found myself, and now I’m much happier with my hair than I was before with permed hair. And I feel like a lot of other women are inspired to loc their hair because of mine. 

Product of the Week

Smooth 'N Shine's Curl Activator Gel

is the product of the week!

I love this stuff it works wonders and DOES NOT 

leave the hair dry, crunchy or hard.

This particular gel is formulated for EXTRA DRY hair.

My hair can get pretty dry and this gel

gives me the softness I need and keeps my curls

POPPIN'!

I also like this product because it doesn't

leave my hair looking like it has a

jherri curl... LOL

AND

it dries pretty fast.

I would DEF recommend you ladies try it.

It can be purchased at your local grocery story

or CVS.

I believe it's BETTER than Eco Styler Gel w/ Olive Oil.
