Turban Head Wrap With Leggings!!

Image
This turban head wrap that I just found on youtube is soo cute!! This particular way of wrapping the leggings around your head does suggest having your hair in a high ponytail (you can always wear a wig or attach a puff) I think it is super cute and I will definitely be trying it. I just found out using leggings as a head wrap and am in awe. I found an awesome tutorial video on youtube. Here it is! Enjoy!!  (p.s. this is not me in the video)

Are organic cotton tampons really better?

How organic can you go really? I like the idea of an organic cotton tampon for many reasons. Did you know that our internal tissues are great at absorbing and carrying chemicals throughout the body.   Your vulvar tissue is already a very sensitive part of the body, and any synthetic and potentially irritant material can lead to discomfort, rashes, and other irritation as a result of the close skin contact.   Some tampons contain chemical fragrances and   many conventional tampons contain traces of the chemical  dioxin, which is   a known endocrine disruptor that can cause issues with your hormones. They don’t just create imbalances, they also exacerbate fertility issues, thyroid conditions, PCOS, hormonal and cystic acne, thyroid conditions, endometriosis, and even some forms of cancer . The idea of having toxic chemicals in such a sensitive area is scary. Guess what guys! They cost the same as the non-organic tampons too so it will not cost you more to switch over. I decided to m

3 Strand Twists on Locs

Today I worked on one of my regular clients. We usually do barrel twist on him (2 strand twists), but today since he is going away to college I decided to switch it up a bit and do 3 strand twists. Yes, yes I know its still twists, but that's why I said switch it up a bit. He is not very flashy and he likes to keep it simple with his hair. None the less I fell in love with this method of twisting and I will be doing it more often. The twists created a nice amount of volume so the style didn't have that spacey look that sometimes comes along with a re-twist. Another plus is that there were less twists so it took a little less time to do. He usually will wear the twists for a couple weeks, then take them loose to wear it free for a couple weeks and then we meet again for another re-twist in about a months time. The process of doing these twists were way easier than I expected and can be done on any hair not just locs. If I can do it I am sure you can do this on your own or so
