    Hi. Is it the henna that has your hair two-toned or  is that au-naturale. Also does the henna "loosen" you texture somewhat?

    ------------------

    Hi there. This is my natural hair colour. The 'henna' I use is Cassia also known as 'neutral henna' which I specifically chose because I didn't want to alter the colour of my hair, which i love. That being said, with the flash from the camera (and very bright sunlight) the red/auburn/gold tones in my hair appear alot brighter than they would in regular lighting. 

    I do the cassia treatments to strengthen and thicken my hair. I was having a problem with breakage because of some meds i was on, and since i introduced cassia to my routine I've noticed alot less breakage. I don't think it is loosening my hair texture, I certainly hope not...

    Yummo!
    Yummy.  I had some avocados and considered for a minute to use some in my hair.  My stomach won so I ended up eating them all. lol.

    -----------------

    LOL @ "for a minute"  I can understand totally, avocados are so yummy! I think that's probably why this is only about the second or time in my nappy history using avocado on my hair...I usually eat mine too!

    Going to run errands and get my eyebrows done
    As a thick-haired natural, I struggle with puffs. Do you have any tips you could spare? (Or hair? I do take hair donations, lol j/k)

    ----------------------------

    *hides hair under scarf* no hair donations today, sorry! =)

    As my hair got thicker and longer I had to change my technique for doing puffs. I have my technique here in my "Hairstyle how-to's" Album:


    This technique shows how to go from night time plaits to a puff and gives me a neat, smooth puff. I find that if my hair is already loose and i want to go to a high neat puff i usually just divide my hair loosely into a few manageable sections and start in the middle to form the puff just like the tutorial shows. Let me know if it helps...
