My Hair Care Routine

Hello Divas!

I previously posted this article in May. However, due to a technical glitch, I had to take it down. Enjoy!

I hope your day is fantastic!

AVEENO® presented me with the opportunity to share my hair care routine on their blog and with my readers. First let me tell you a little bit about my hair. It is very very coarse and tightly coiled. I previously had a relaxer for 17 years. However, the constant chemical process begin to thin out my hair, so two years ago, I decided to grow out my relaxer. I am proud to say that I am now 100% natural. However, I do still get a blow out and press every two weeks. What can I say, I just like my hair straight! But my hair is very thick, shiny, and strong. It is growing very fast and I love it! I always get compliments on how healthy my hair looks! To me this is the best compliment ever. Check out my routine!

1. Every two weeks, I go to Fluer Elysee Salon in Atlanta, GA and get a blow out and press.

2. I apply a small amount of coconut oil to my scalp and massage 3 x per week. I apply the left over oil in my hands to my hair for added sheen. I learned this tip from DE from Beautylogicblog. Since, I have been doing this, my hair is growing faster and always has a nice shine.

3. Every night I pile my hair on top of my head and place a soft cotton headband around the pile. I then lightly wrap my head in a silk scarf. In the morning, I simply run a comb through my hair and go. If I need a little extra curl or body, I take large sections of my hair and use my flat iron to create big curls.


And that is my hair care routine! I think it is pretty simple and low maintenance. My blow out usually lasts two weeks unless I sweat a lot or somehow get it wet. I would love to hear your hair care routine. Please share. I am always looking for new hair care tips!

Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

Hello Divas!

I hope you are having a fantastic Wednesday! My hot drugstore find of the week is Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Lotion. My husband actually purchases this lotion for my son because he has a mild case of Eczema, so we have to keep his skin super hydrated. This lotion is clinically proven to relieve dry skin and when I use it on my son, the dry patches on his skin are healed within 12 hours! Amazing! So of course I had to use it! This lotion is perfect for winter. Like most Divas, my skin becomes very dry during the winter months. But once I apply this lotion, my skin is soft and moisturized. What I love about this lotion is that once you apply it, you do not have to continually reapply it throughout the day. It quickly absorbs into your skin and is totally non-greasy. And I was delighted to discover that Aveeno's Daily Moisturizing Lotion was a Allure Magazine 2007 Award Winner. I just love it when I product I love and have been using is recognized as the best of the best! That means I am on the right track! LOL! You can purchase Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion at CVS or online here. A 18 oz bottle retails for $11.99.
