Life’s Frustrations Helps Us Along The Way

21 Jul

We all got a lot of frustrations in life. There is nothing wrong with being frustrated with certain things; the only problem is that we look for that quick fix to make everything okay. Sometimes its best to let your unhappiness with something linger because when something great comes along; you can appreciate it more.

My Current Frustration:

This blog is still new and i haven’t been posting as much as i should to be considered a blogger. I’m still figuring out where i want to take this blog and how i want it to be perceived. In all reality I’m not just going to post for the hell of it. I have to find my voice and once that happens then it will come naturally. I have always had a love writing; this is a new medium for me.

With that being said, I am getting used to this and i love it. Just didn’t know it was going to be that difficult. I give credit  to all the bloggers and writers. They are definitely an inspiration to me. Excited to see how this goes!

Hair Must Haves: Say Goodbye to Dry..Moisturizing Products That Work

16 Jul

I have tried many hair products with failures and successes. Its really hard to find the perfect product for the not so perfect hair. My bathroom closet looks like a mini beauty supply store. Now my dreams have become true and I cannot be any happier. My tresses are perfectly tamed thanks to these new-found products. You should try them as well- I swear by them!

Organic Root Stimulator Moisturizing Lotion

This product can turn dry damaged hair into soft manageable hair. Use this daily to see fantastic results. Its different from most moisturizers because it doesn’t feel greasy on your hands and in your hair. It feels like a leave in conditioner and has a very creamy texture. I recommend this for natural hair as well as relaxed hair.

Paul Brown Hawaii Treat Elite Leave In Keratin

Mostly found in professional hair salons, this is a product for everyone. Its used for freshly washed hair. Just spray on when your hair is wet and leave in. Blow dry as usual and you will notice a difference. While your hair is wet it acts as a detangular and leave in  conditioner. As your blow drying your hair (whether  air dry or blow dry) it is absolutely soft and lustrous. Try this one out and see for yourself as well. Keratin is a protein naturally found in hair and nails so use this product after every washing and your hair will become strong which makes it less susceptible to breakage.

Ladies the key to growing hair is to keep it moisturized so it won’t break off, make sure to give the ends extra attention as well! Try these products and let me know what you think.
