My sincerest apologies to those who looked for me and found this blog, which hadn't actually been updated. I'd initially started blogging on Bloglovin but realized that this is the one I should have started up again. Duh. So, I moved the new entries here. Hopefully, it'll be easier to find. This will be more fun because it also has older entries where I talked about or at least referenced nail polish content from my Youtube channel. I'll be watching those old videos again for fun. Also, I did turn on Adsense, so there will be ads now...
It's Friday, Hallelujah, and I'm alone in my section at work - and will continue to be through Tuesday - so pray for me as I pray for myself! A co-worker that sat behind me at our morning meeting came to my desk afterwards to ask if she could take a picture of my curls. When I asked why, she said that they were beautiful, and if she decided to perm her hair, she'd need the curls to look like mine LOL!!
Since I've switched to the Curly Girl Method a few weeks ago there has been a significant improvement in the overall look of my hair. I think what really made a difference, particularly in being able to get second, third and even fourth day hair, is plopping! I won't try to explain it. Google, "plopping curly hair" - it's a game changer. After applying my hair products and thoroughly scrunching my curls, I plop with a T-shirt for about an hour or two on wash nights before drying my hair with a fan. However, every night, I also plop my dry hair with a satin cloth. It really helps to keep my curls bouncy and easy to refresh the next day.
Unlike other "Curly Girls," I don't like to spray water onto my hair to refresh it - it's too much and doesn't actually work for me. I literally just wet my hands and "dry" my palms on my hair a few times before, during and after applying my Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Extra-Moisture Detangler followed by my Mop Top Curly Hair Custard. I found out about the custard from a girl on Youtube whose hair is similar to mine (she has fine hair - a lot of it - that is also curly and dark, just like mine) named Curly Penny. I'd never seen anyone with hair like mine before, so I figured I better follow her tips! I love the detangler because it helps add the moisture I need to help fight frizz. I didn't realize that one of the main causes of frizzy hair was dryness. Our family has been using this leave in for years, but I limited my use of it because I thought it was too heavy for my hair and caused my curls to stretch. Plopping changed all of that. I can apply it daily for a week and my curls stay bouncy - and, it has made washing/detangling my hair on wash days so much easier! I've got a loooooong way to go before my hair is where it needs to be health-wise, but thankfully, I'm off to a good start. Here's a pic of dem...
On my nails is Moon Shine Mani Inconceivable! This photo does it zero justice. You need to see the pics on my Instagram (@jessikatpq), though...ugh this polish is fire!
That is all for now :)
Until next time, be blessed!
