ya know, i was gonna do that <50cl> though,
but where do i refill from?

i bought 2 liter bottles yesterday,
i want to set a target of 2 liters per day <if thats the required amount>

TAP?!!
trying to avoid that, i guess its kinda safe though

Water stations?? i would have to buy bottled water from stores

theres no dispenser thingy at my studio, where i do my work.
just taps.

tap/ bottled
i've heard complaints about both
i hear dasani puts salt in their water to make more $.
salt makes u thirsty


anyway, i've been drinking tap water all my life.

Vegetables >>>

Carrots, potatoes (sweet n irish), peas, beans, lettuce
gimger, leeks, onions, cucumber e.t.c

everyday!!?

I like coconut oil for my body ( good 4 stretch marks too! and it makes the skin soo soft)


I also do honey/milk masks ( milk has lactic acid (exfoliator) and honey is a humectant

Grapeseed oil is wonderfulllll for skin and 100 percent natural cocoa butter is too which i love


also avocados are great for the skin/hair you ladies should try it!


i try to eat healthy and drink mainly water and green tea, i also like those odwalla smoothie drinks ( highly recommended!)

i dont like avocado, kai. .gotta try them though

@Africhika, lol, i dont eat all of them everyday o
i eat like two or three everyday

i use oatmeal and honey as a scrub, its great for my oily skin
and the honey leaves my skin really soft

Hair,

Had a bad hair day, does any one have any new ideas on getting rid of tangles, hair in the middle and at the back of my head tangles really bad so it never grows well without half of its length breakin off
really frustrated
my hair is 4b infact in fact if there was a 4z it would fit

Tangles will always be there,
just use what you use to soften your hair anyway and run ur fingers through it.
im not sure about hair types and things though
i havnt seen my hair in four weeks, im almost going into panic mode

oatmeal and honey, stuff i need to get asap!

i dont have a daily solution ,
the only time my hair is soft is just after i have washed and steamed it with shea butter, even then give it a couple of hours and its a stiff afro-cant run my finger through it

yesterday was frustrating cos the humidity messed up my hair and i was weaving cornrows and i kept battling with tangles , i only have trouble with tangles in that area(middle and the back ) so all that breakage leaves me with long hair in front and short at the back and i've been nappy for 6 yrs

about oatmeal and honey? make it into a paste not too runny and just blend it in really well massage it into your skin. good for hands and feet

its not harsh so its a scrub you can use everyday i eat it too

Eat
i wee thinks abourrit

salsera, what kind of honey? i've seen grade a and b.

not sure about the grade
as long as it pure honey not the mixed kind bleached kind that's sometimes sold

since you abroad i suppose u could search for specific stores that sell pure honey

@ salsera i dey feel u o oatmeal n honey works wonders on the skin


Ive also heard that lemons/strawberries are good for dark spots ( they hv vitamin c )

I can attest to the lemons workin u can mix lemons ( squeeze the juice from the lemon ) and sugar for a scrub or u can use epsom salts ( i wouldnt recommend epsom salts for the face)

^ lemon is great. it brightens up my face like a miracle. and i love the smell


it's my first time in the famous chicago freeeeezing cold weather and my lips are dry, bleeding like crazy. i've been using vitamin E oil and drinking water. any suggestions?

^^
my scalp is drying out really fast too,

water, olive oil, thats all i gat
cant even lay hold of natural honey

hello,

i'm in london briefly, any hints on where to get products for natural hair, especially cantu butter

hey all the londoners in the house help this lady out.

Omg,
Sorry i couldnt be on here fast enough,
@Salsera, i hope you got what you wanted

Happy New year guys.

One of my new year resolutions is to stay on the Natural tip,
infact ive ordered a bunch of natural stuff for body and hair

I didnt achieve the growth i wanted for my hair last year, due to
major neglect and so many other issues.

One of the new product i've found is Shikakai for the hair
Its from the Indians, and i have only heard good things about it.

@Africhika, how are your locs, im 80% sure i want to loc now,
plus i am so attracted to 'loc-ed' guys i dont know what to do.lol

gamine, why do u put your address out there like that. dats inviting all kinds of  ppl u kno

you should be doing more protective styling. twists, braids etc.
for tangles, i will say patience and preventive care. ie don't leave ur hair out for too long. braid it up eventually

and for products, you don't need to search far and wide for some sort of holy grail. lol the Cantu you're looking for might eventually just end up laying in your cabinet

@Oyinda

Nah, dont bother about that, the address is from a book,
people who have read it will understand

I reckon Cantu is a brand of shea butter, i have to say, nothing like the pure one though.
i should be putting my hair up in long twists this week, i need to start the new year, well!

Is that my Gamine

follypimpi:

@Oyin

Can moi do brother locks too Jst wondering o instead of cuttingmy hair.

Don't cut that lovely hair of yours, please

Nice tips here ladies keep it up.

brothers locks are hot

@Busy Body

Happi new yeAR!

Which one is brother locks again?? lol

@follypimpi
Why are you fedup, What are you fed up with?

folly pls don't cut your hair!
you can braid it like you've been doing,
or you could get it locked.
Note that the first few months of locking your hair wouldn't be all gravy
