Out of Africa

I just Love beauty products out of Africa. And if you are on a natural hair journey this summer, then this desert fruit extract is a product you want in your personal collection. Thankfully the Mielle brand has packaged this fruit extract in their latest haircare collection. Although the products can be purchased individually, the Melon Bundle is $80.

This fruit is a watermelon with yellow flesh that survives in the Kalahari desert. Its hydrating qualities makes it a wonderful product for the skin and the hair.

If you can't purchase the entire collection, its suggested to try the Kalahari Melon and Aloe Deep Hydration Shampoo.

This is the motivation a sister needs to start a hair journey. Why a hair journey? Because there is some truth to the fact that a woman's hair is her glory. It's the crown you never take off.

A wash day is a specific calendar date like every other Saturday, that is set aside to cleanse, pamper and restart your hair cycle.

A hair journey is a six-month time block during which you follow a strict hair regimen like not missing any wash days and using specific products.

If you are in a place in your life where you are suffering from low-grade boredom, taking care of your hair is something to get excited about. Not only will your hair say "thank you!" if will raise your own consciousness of self. Yes, you are allowed to love your hair!

Its not necessary for hair to be supernatural. Sometimes blow drying or even using a light straightening comb like the KISS Wet/Dry Heat Comb. Straighten your hair to a 50-60 % stretch afro for manageability.
