Glam Natural Life

I am not a big fan of long protective styling even though I should be. I just feel like after a week of wearing them, I want to touch my hair again. Lol! However, I do low manipulation styling on my natural hair instead. This is where you style your hair so that it can last for a few days and your ends - the weakest part of your hair- is tucked away. By doing low manipulation styles you can retain more length because your hair isn't out all the time. So, there will be less detangling and less manipulation done on the hair and your ends are protected. My styles of choice are Flat Twist updos and  Buns. Flat Twists on Natural Hair Flat Twist are great as protective styles because your ends are safely tucked away and you can easily get up to 5 days wear out of this style. At night I spritz with a little leave-in or water, tie with a satin scarf and go to bed. Wake up and just just go. Easy! This style is actually perfect for those of you girls who are transitioning

Shea Moisture Ammonia-Free Hair Color System - Bright Auburn Hey Loves! I am over the moon excited as I write this post. So, I tried the Shea Moisture Ammonia-Free Hair Color System in the shade 'Bright Auburn' over the weekend. Ok, I have never in my entire life colored my hair, so you can only imagine how scared I was. However, I put my big girl panties on and embraced the red. And I love it! First I must say that the packaging is fun to look at. The artwork is divine! All the boxes (no matter the shade) are intriguing in design. When you open the box the contents are nicely packaged in a pretty little bag inside. Emphasis was indeed placed on packaging - I must say. This system is moisture-rich, 100% Ammonia free and sulfate free. What's not to love?  The Application: The information booklet inside the box was very clear and descriptive. You could use the brush method if you know what you’re doing or if you’re like me who knows jack about coloring - then y

Hey Guys! I love apple cedar vinegar (ACV) so I wanted to share with you some of its benefits. ACV is good for many things and can be used in so many different ways. The Many Uses of Apple Cedar Vinegar Personally I primarily use it for 2 things: 1. Cook with. Apple Cedar vinegar is acidic and adds flavor to your food. If you have high blood pressure you can add it to your pot instead of salt. 2. Rinse my Natural Hair I use it to rinse my hair after washing to remove product buildup. Also, I have scalp eczema and it pretty much eliminates that. If you have dandruff or eczema problems I recommend an ACV rinse. Make sure you dilute it (one part ACV to one part water). Do you use Apple Cedar Vinegar? How do you use it?

Basin Store (Miracle Mile Las Vegas) Hey Guys! So I recently went to Las Vegas and found and fell in love with an organic body and bath store called Basin. While walking through the Miracle Mile Shops I stopped at this lovely store. It smelled so great and you can try everything (lotions, washes, bombs, scrubs, etc). At guys, everything in this place is organic. Bath Bombs I have never tried Bath Bombs before. The sales associate introduced me to these lovely things and she made me try some in a bowl of water. The balls fizzle when dropped in water hence the reason why they call it 'Bath Bombs'. When I washed my hands in the bath water my hands actually felt moisturized.  Seeing this, I had to buy one to try in my hotel room.  I couldn't wait to go back to the hotel and get my soak on. Lol! Soaking in a moisture filled bath thanks to the Bath Bombs! I made a bath of water with a little of the hotel shower gel for bubbles and then I dropped the
