Conquering Bad Natural Hair Days
Everyone goes through bad natural hair days. Whether it's dealing with the frizzies from humidity or dealing with super dry hair, we all have experienced it all. Let me tell you, this weekend has been one of them for me. My hair is feeling like brillo and my kinks in the mid section of my hair are totally out of control.
While I love to see other people wear hats and beenies, for some reason when I wear them I don't do a good job of successfully pulling them off. So, this weekend when it came to going out to one of my favorite local bars I totally declined! My hair was looking too hurt and there was absolutely no way I would be seen in public like that. My hair had gotten to a point where it was so dried out that my high poofy bun, that once looked fabulous looked more like a bird's nest!
Instead of going out I finished watching Bad Girls Club Season 7 and began looking at the convenience that straight hair styles offer. Tiara Hodge's weaves always looked on point and I began to ponder getting a style inspired by her. The only thing about a straight hair style is I have to constantly worry about wetting my hair in the shower, which is super annoying. Well, the next day when I had my chance I missed out on getting my hair done. You can find so much natural hair care information and natural hair styles online, but what about advice that gets you through those ruff days?
My solution is going to be a thorough round of deep conditioning with my Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Conditioner. During the colder months our hair becomes extremely susceptible to dryness, making it more important for us to implement conditioning and protective hairstyles into our winter hair care regimens. This Sunday morning I am giving my hair a moisturizing treat and I am working on thinking up a protective hairstyle, because this weekend my hair was too crazy.

I love it up more on its naughty/knotty days! I'll either wash and deep condition or just quench with water and opt for a leave-in if I'm lazy.
Either way, the next step is to finger my curls one by one (that's the loving up part). Paying attention to my hair strand by strand (or in my case, loc by loc) is always the best remedy.
Yeah I left that conditioner in for a good while before I took it out, but it did the trick. I use to have locs too, I miss them sometimes.
