HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM! **Hair Care Instructions For My Mom**

My mom & I during my traditional wedding (Sept 2009)
Hello y'all!

I know it has been a while since I last posted something on here. I've been so busy keeping up with my other blog that I've somewhat neglected this one!

Well, today's post is a little dear to me because I actually wrote this for my mom. If you have read the story of the beginning of my hair journey, you would know that her hair had a lot to do with me going natural the first time around.

Trust. Pray. Believe. Receive!

 
"But without faith, it is impossible to please Him: for he that comes to God must belive that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them who diligently seek Him." - Hebrews 11:6

This was the first picture from my shoot for a post on my other blog. As blurry as it is, I love it, because it spoke volumes to me. And I just thought I should share.

Twist Petals - A "Twist" on Loc Petals

Here's another style I tried while my hair was in a protective style. It's simple and cute, yet interesting!
 
As I mentioned in my previous post, my hair was in flat twists going up around the sides and back of my head. I used kinky/marley hair for the individual twists in the top section.

As a naturalista, it's fun to rock your fro, but every once in a while, your hair needs a break from manipulation. That's where protective styles come in handy.
 
For about a month, I had my hair in a protective style, but I still found ways to jazz up the look.

"The Thing About Change" - NEW HAIR COLOR!!!


"The more you change your mind for the better, the more your life will also change for the better."

I just began reading the book, Battlefield of the Mind (by Joyce Meyer), and the above statement is an excerpt from the introduction. I can't wait to explore more of what the book has in store. But the idea is about winning the battle in your mind. Your thoughts become your actions. So, if you change the way you think, you change the way you act.
