Alittle better. I just "flat twisted"...(I use the term loosly) the front and pulled the rest back with a goody clip. The polar bear says it was a very June Cleaver-ish style...maybe it was my flower print Blossom dress...i dont know..but..I think it works....mostly.
yeah...it was just a bad hair day....aint nothing much to say about it. LOL

Been shopping and running around today. Just managed one pic. I did mist and retwist my hair last night. I think I can really dig this style!! Note the awesome jewelry from Natural Hair Wear!!
Thank God for the smart folks who can break it down!
THE NATURAL HAVEN: Mineral Oil is Evillllll!! (or maybe not?): "Ok so I really don't do sensationalist headlines, please blame this one on Alice ( fab blog ) who sent this email with this title to me :). ..."
Specifically for hair, mineral oil is useful for
1. Preventing the hair fibre from swelling too much when placed in water (see this post).
2. Preventing moisture entry in humid conditions (see this post)
3. Preventing UV damage to hair by forming a 'protective' layer which stops breakdown of the amino acids in the hair (Journal of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, pg 109-122, 1993).
The sticking point (pun intended) of mineral oil is simply that, it sticks to the outside of the hair. It does not penetrate the hair like coconut oil does. Therefore, it is perhaps not the most beneficial oil that could be used on hair.
I definitely also agree that some hair can handle mineral oil better than others. Factors that could affect this include
1. How often you wash your hair with shampoo (more washing less build up)
2. How far up is mineral oil on the ingredient list on the product (top 5 listing means more mineral oil than if it appears in the bottom 5)
3. How often do you use the product with mineral oil (daily use probably means more accumulation than weekly or fortnightly use).
Avoiding mineral entirely for whatever reason is not bad, however using pseudo science to justify this is the problem.

Went to see planet of the apes with the polar bear. I loved it.
My hair did great. Still had alot of curl. I just put some flax seed gel to redefine the top and moved my part to the center. I always like it when I see it on other women....on me...eyyyy. I dont know. I will mist and do 6-8 twist tonight and wear down again tomorrow I think. Try and make that part better looking. LOL
I got one decent picture of my curl pattern before I got ready. I suck at taking pics...but love to take them. LOL.
Ive not left the house today so I decided to tuck and roll my curls. The flaxseed has my hair still so soft...and curly.
yesterday was day 2
Today is Day 3 Last night i lightly misted with green tea spritz to finger comb and make 9 Miss Ceily twist braids using my flax-seed gel. Today I separated with a bit of avocado oil on my hands.
