Am I lying?! When you’re angry, it’s so easy t Am I lying?! When you’re angry, it’s so easy to detangle too roughly. And when you’re in a hurry, again, you’re likely to not be as gentle as you could be. 

Detangling our hair requires a gentle and patient approach to prevent breakage and damage. As my mom says, “Be Present”. Here are the steps I use to mindfully and effectively detangle my hair:

✨SAVE For your next Wash Day
✨COMMENT And let me know if you agree, what steps you always do too, or if I missed anything! 

1. **Preparation:** Start with damp or wet hair. I like to spray mine generously with water and then I apply a good amount of conditioner or a detangling product to add slip and make the process easier. I’ll link my favorites in my stories/highlights

2. **Sectioning:** Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips or hair ties. This prevents overwhelming yourself with the entire head of hair and allows for more focused detangling.

3. **Finger Detangling:** Before using any tools, gently run your fingers through each section to remove any large knots or tangles. This helps in minimizing hair breakage.

4. **Wide-tooth Comb or Detangling Brush:** After finger detangling, use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush designed for curly hair. Start from the tips and work your way up to the roots. Be patient and avoid pulling or yanking on the hair.

5. **Be Gentle:** Treat your hair with care and be gentle while detangling. Avoid aggressive combing or brushing, as this can lead to breakage and damage.

Remember, detangling curly hair can be time-consuming, so be patient and take breaks as needed. Following these steps will help maintain the health and integrity of your type 3c and 4a curls.

Y’all. Paying someone to take out my braids is t Y’all. Paying someone to take out my braids is the luxury service I didn’t know I needed. I walked in at 1:15 pm and was out of there by 2:00 pm. Time is money and this was so worth it!

My knotless braids lasted 6 weeks this time! 

This may or may not be actual footage of me giving Deion the heads up that I’m switching it up again lol. 

✨ Have you / would you ever pay to have someone take your braids down? Comment and let me know if you’d like to see my current wash and go or twist out tutorial next?!

This isn’t for everyone but washing my braids is This isn’t for everyone but washing my braids is something I do towards the *end* of my protective style -because if you’re not careful it can make your braids look older. 

By the time I do it though, I’m probably only going to wear my braids for another 1-2 weeks. 

If you DO decide to wash your braids, know that some hair types will visibly revert after exposure to all that water -but I personally swim with my braids, which is a similar risk!

✨ Sharing 5 Things I Do when I Shampoo my Braids. Number 2 is a Game Changer and Number 4 is my Favorite Part!

🌿 Knotless Braids - Shampoo Guide 🌿⁣⁣

1️⃣ Use a Clarifying Shampoo: This will help remove product buildup
2️⃣ Dilute Shampoo: This will help the shampoo rinse out easily
3️⃣ Precise Application: Apply product to your scalp beforehand to ensure you target all sections of your hair 
4️⃣ Scalp Massage: Take this opportunity to boost circulation and show your scalp some love with a quick scalp massage. Be gentle and use your fingertips so you don’t disturb your braids
5️⃣ Rinse Thoroughly: This is a crucial step to maintain braid & hair health and to make sure your hair is left clean

#MadHippieGiftedMe 🍊✨ VITAMIN C is a fairly n #MadHippieGiftedMe 🍊✨ VITAMIN C is a fairly new ingredient in my skin care routine and in my endeavors to educate myself, I’ve learned that not all Vitamin C is built the same. 

I’m a product research junkie and one important thing to remember with Vitamin C is that only certain kinds can survive being in a dropper. 

🍊 Enter Mad Hippie Vitamin C. It’s made with an advanced and stable form of Vitamin C called Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate. 

While other dropper forms of Vit C may lose their potency over time, Mad Hippie’s is a carefully crafted formula to ensure your skin receives the maximum benefits without breaking down over time due to oxygen. Because if you’re paying for skincare, you want it to actually work, right?!

Note - I love that it’s Fragrance-Free but it does contain grapefruit which can be sensitizing to some! 

Is Vitamin C part of your skin care routine? I’ll share more about the benefits in the comments and in my stories ☺️

📸 Sunday Dump featuring a Reunion Brunch with a 📸 Sunday Dump featuring a Reunion Brunch with a friend I’ve known since Elementary School and an Evening Walk with my Favorite, Furry Havanese ✨ 

I’ve eaten at Bloom & Bee before -but never during their Sunday Brunch! I love all things salads and sushi and oysters so if you do too, add this place to your list! There were several things to choose from besides what I pictured. 

Bloom & Bee Brunch Takeaways-
* For $35 instead of $65, you can opt out of the main entrees -in lieu of the unlimited appetizer selections. 
* I was impressed by their low carb options
* 18% Gratuity was included but our server was so attentive and delightful so I tipped more
* Ask for Lynn if you go
* The place is a vibe 
* I left full

👚- @express (Size Large)
👖- @goodamerican (Size 10)

Also, yes I know you’re supposed to be selective of what months you eat oysters, but they were fine, and I’m fine 🤪🦪

Have you ever had a braider tell you to come to the salon blown out but **without any product** on your hair?! I have! However the thought of braiding bone dry hair without any protective products just doesn’t work for my spirit and my natural hair journey 😬 

This is my Braider-Approved routine that ensures my hair is moisturized, strengthened, and properly conditioned before I show up for braids …

✨Note - This wash day is officially approved by my braider @braidsbyify -She said it doesn’t leave my hair oily and my hair is in the perfect state for my protective style!

Current Wash Day Routine
*BEFORE BRAIDS*

1️⃣ - Pre Poo with Argan or Coconut Oil

2️⃣ - Shampoo with a Moisturizing* Shampoo (Use a clarifying* shampoo if you have product buildup). I’m using one by @aphogee 

3️⃣ - K18 • This has become a non negotiable for me bc this product claims to repair your hair at a molecular level -and I’m going to do all I can to strengthen my hair before it’s tucked away

4️⃣ - Deep Condition • K18 can only be used on hair that’s been shampooed but *not* conditioned. This allows the product to better penetrate your strands. So AFTER I do Step 3 for the recommended time of Four Minutes, I apply a Deep Conditioner

5️⃣ - Leave In Treatment • Braiders want you to come blow dried and without heavy products on your hair. Applying this and a light leave in conditioner like the one from @patternbeauty leaves my hair soft, strong, and ready for Braid Season!

✨ Please comment and let me know - Do you do anything to your hair before braids, or do you literally wash, blow dry, and show up?! If so, no judgement! 🤗💕 I hope this gave you an idea of ways to prep your hair!

It’s our Anniversary! Our Ghanaian Traditional It’s our Anniversary! 

Our Ghanaian Traditional Wedding was 2 years ago today and we are just as grateful now for God’s love, blessings, and protection over our lives as we were then! 

When Deion picked out my ring, he inscribed “Our Journey” in Twi on the inside of the band. He’s been so committed to my culture since Day 1 and I’ll always appreciate what a priority it was to him that we get married according to Ghanaian customs. 

Our Journey has not always been easy but it’s been full of intentional love and growth! Everyday we pray to grow old together -along with our families whose support continues to mean the world to us 🙏🏾 
 
Thank you Lord, for Year Two! We don’t take
a single day for granted.
