The versatility of natural hair

So over the course of last week, I have rocked over 4 different looks with my hair.  And that's just in a week! Plus I have a whole repertoire of updos that I didn't even get into at all this past week!  When I had relaxed hair, I had like 2 styles total.  I mostly wore the same hairstyle everyday.  I had limitations in length and just the straight texture that made certain styles impossible but most of my limitations were due to length.  Now I'm not speaking for everyone because I realize that many black ladies who are relaxed have a multitude of looks that they use weaves and wigs to achieve.  But for those like me who just never got into the wigs and weaves, my hair was pretty boring. 

With all the challenges of caring for natural type 4 hair, it's always nice to focus on the positives and this is one of them.  Happy Sunday naturalistas!!

Review of Miss Jessies Super Sweetback Treatment

This is a review on Miss Jessie's Super Sweetback treatment. this product was very expensive on the website. It was $50 or more. However they were having a sale during the holidays: 40 percent off everything! Even with the 40 percent off the products cost more than I'm used to paying for hair products but I decided to give it a try based on the amazing reviews that I read.

I was pleasantly surprised to say those reviews were true. This product first of all is a kinky girls dream come true.  it smells amazing, it is thick and creamy, it has great slip...and that's just from opening and looking at the product. As far as using the product, not only did it make my hair smell wonderful, it made my hair shiny and super-moisturized. Today is day 7 after conditioning with this product and my hair is still shinier than I'm  used to seeing and I think it is because of using this product. My hair just looks healthier in general.  Even though I am a total spendthrift and normally would never in a million years spent $50 for hair conditioner, I would actually consider buying this product full price after this one is finished. I feel like it can go a long way in improving the health and appearance of my hair. I have a feeling this 16 ounce bottle that I have will last a good amount of time if I use in moderation. Therefore I think it's totally worth the money. And that wraps up my review of Miss Jessie's super sweetback
