I tried the Shea

Use 1
So as you know I am pregnant! Yay and the little man at Kilamajbbjgvfvnlmjiphiojaro (lol) told me to use it on my tummy. I have been strech mark free this whole pregnancy (thanks mom) but I decided to use it anyways. My tummy is sooooo soft now!

Use 2
This morning I washed my hair and used shea to seal the ends and protect the line. I will let you know how my shea twist out--turns out!  

Confimation

Now I have self confirmed that I wont make it a month, the new goal is 3 weeks, but even that seems like a stretch right now. Today is the anniversary to week one but i will refrain from posting a video till Monday, since it hasn't been a week since my last video post.

Non hair related news, Hot Tub Time Machine comes out today, I wanna see it, looks like its going to be hilarious.

until monday when i post my new video.

Peace

You can shea that again!

Nicole and I finally got our Shea Butter and I'm so excited! We went to Kilimanjaros on Ludlow today and pick up an 8oz tub for 9 bucks and a little goes a long way. There are so many uses for this stuff! Here are a few I found...

• Daily skin moisturizer for your face and body
• Treatment for dry skin, eczema, and minor burns
• Reduces blemishes and wrinkles
• Pain relief from swelling and arthritis.
• Can be used as a shaving cream to reduce razor irritation
• Stretch mark prevention during pregnancy
• Sunscreen, due to its rich content of Vitamin E and D
• Eliminating scalp irritation from dryness or chemical processing
• Preventing bumps after shaving
• Helps restore elasticity to skin
• Restores luster to hair

Shea butter is high in vitamins A, E, & F which are great for the skin and it is a natural moisturizer. While watching my many YouTube videos, sooo many people said they used it, loved it, it defined their curls, and it was a great conditioner for their hair. I'm excited to give it a try and see what it does for my hair! I'll keep ya updated :)

4 weeks

So it is day 5 and I do not think i will make it 4 weeks until i get my hair retwisted. I didnt realize it would be this hard to keep it tidy. On a positive note i can feel the twists starting to dread up a little, some are thinner than others and I wonder how they gain thickness. i guess i will see soon enough.

In search of...

I need a good leave in conditioner...suggestions please! Right now I am using creme of nature but I really don't like it as much as I use to.

Video Blog Day 4

LOST: The Journey of the Locks

It was November, My wife was nearing her bed rest sentence and one income was making things pretty tight so as a sacrifice I decided to try to save money on hair cuts. As I looked around I saw how popular Dreadlocks are becoming and I thought to my self I am going to try that. Fast forward to March I have enough length to start the beginning stage of the journey. I will blog throughout this process and you will know from beginning to end how the story of LOST ends.

Bed rest and natural

Ok so I have been on bed rest for over 3 months and my hair has been less than stellar. It still looks a mess but I just thought I would share.

Castor Oil

I have officially started my castor oil challenge...finally. I will be applying the oil to my scalp twice a week. I'm not sure how long I'll be doing it, maybe a few months but idk. I'm hoping it really stimulates hair growth like many have said but we shall see. I'll keep ya posted!
