Creme of Nature
Posted by: blackform on: July 5, 2009
Good news! I won Quel from homegirl.typepad.com Creme of Nature Giveaway. She had held a hairtreatment tips contest and I won, Woot. Its the first time I have ever won something in a contest (yes i know its sad, but its true) so I am very excited. I won a full size bottle of Creme of Red Clover & Aloe shampoo for dry hair and scalp and a full size tube of Jojoba & Olive Oil Moisture-Active Deep Conditioning Treatment for Dehydrated Hair.
This was the tip that I gave:
“One deep condition that I like to do is a oil treatment, but I do it over night. It leaves my hair and scalp feeling nice. The last time I did it I used my version of Mo’s grow oil, it left my hair feeling so soft. I kept feeling it and wandering how come after a week or two my hair still felt nice and wasn’t dry.”
Thanks Quel mucho gracias!
She is currently running another contest so check it out.

So I went to a Michael Jackson tribute concert/party last night. It was pretty big it was downtown. My younger sister was so into it, and my little brother was just lost,he couldnt see the stage and he didnt know any of the songs, poor kid 
While i was there i noticed sooooo many people with natural hair, i mean twist outs and curly fros, plain ol’ afros, dreds, twists it was a mecca of natural hair. I took a pic or two but I didn’t want to alarm people so I didn’t take too many.
All in all it was a good night, except for the weed and the rude, igonorant people who thought it was okay to push your way infront of somebody when theres no space. SMH.
I post some pics later after i get them off my camera

So Im taking a detour today. As many of you have already heard Michael Jackson passed away yesterday. Now I don’t know about most of you but I love me some Michael, so today this post is dedicated in memory to the late and the great Michael Jackson.
Scream. I heart this song. Its sooo good.
The lean is the baddest. What!
This song is epic, its like 30 minutes long. Jamonit.
Ahh Michael rest in peace.

DCT
Posted by: blackform on: June 4, 2009
So I washed out my conditoner this morning, i had it for abou 12 hours. Ummm im not too impressed, i think my weave got better results than my hair and I wasn’t even focusing on it.
So I think in future I’ll do a olive oil with aloe dct with maybe a bit of conditioner. One thing I didn’t like was that even after standing under the shower for like 10 minutes, it didn’t wash away completely it feels like theres still build up and if i run my finger (aka scratch my scalp) Im left with stuff underneath my nails. When I do the oil treatment, my scalp is clear of all that stuff.
Deep conditioning treatment
Posted by: blackform on: June 3, 2009
As I write this post Im deep conditioning, unfortunately I don’t have a soft bonnet, or else I would be done already So I am going to do it overnight. I started the process late in the evening (cough…8′clock…cough) I don’t want to go to bed with wet hair, and risk the chance of mold or anything else that’s gross, Im going to leave it till tomorrow. If I have to go outside I’ll wrap my head in a scarf and call it a day.
For my deep conditioner I used,treseme remoisture conditioner, Avon african shea butter restorative hair mask, Avon mediterrean oilve oil conditoning hair mask and the Avon palm desert rose oil hair elixir. I have high hopes for this combo, the only thing im worried about is that it will be so good and I wont be able to recreate it, as Avon discontiuned the shea butter conditioner right after I ordered it.(Booooo)
well, good night
Deep condition challenge
Posted by: blackform on: June 2, 2009
So I’ve come across a few weekly deep condition challenges, and Im really thinking of participating in one. My question is can one deep condition with a “protective style” aka weave? and if you can, should you?
I saw a discussion on black hair forum where some ppl said that they deep conditioned once a week, co-washed daily or multiple times a day, then you had some who didn’t do a thing.
So……?
I think im going to try a deep conditioning session first and see how it goes, I did oil treatments before and i liked that, so did my scalp.
The weekly challenge is a must try for me.

I love this girl that’s all I have to say, oh and that she is such an enabler. She reviews so many products that you can’t help but want to buy them. Check out a few of her videos. She has a youtube account, a fotki and a blog.
