DIY: Milk and Honey Deep Conditioner Treatment

I made a deep conditioner yesterday for my sister. Great stuff -- so great I needed to share :)


Ingredients:

1 can of pure coconut milk (contains proteins, which strengthen hair and can help to minimize breakage. It also has properties which protect hair and scalp from UV rays)

1 ripe avocado (natural source of protein - rich in fatty acids that are a real must in your daily diet, especially when it come to your hair. Your hair will go from brittle to being soft and shiny)


2 tablespoons of pure honey (conditions and adds sheen -a natural humectant [it attracts and holds on to water molecules] making a great treatment for dry, damaged hair. )

DIY: Bantu Knots

So my sister Aretha has been natural for over a decade. I'll feature her soon. I put some bantu knots in her hair and later took them down and styled her hair into a fauxhawk.

DIY: Loc Maintenance

Welcome to the first series of Do-It-Yourself! As you all know my hair is locked. I've had my hair like this for about 13 months. I love it! When I first started my locks I would go to a lady to get them done. She started my locks for $100 and she maintained them for $60. And back in those days I always wanted my hair twisted. So you could imagine how much money I was spending. But then I got smart -- I realized that I could do my own hair - or let my sister do it for the price of $FREE.99. And so that's what I have been doing. Take a look at my process . . .
