I’ve been wearing my hair flat ironed for the past 2 weeks. Needless to say, it’s time to wash. However, because I was so tired last night, I decided to do a braid out to make my hair last a little longer. I used Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Cream and braided medium sized sections. I was really pleased with the results.
Please no comment on my makeup. I know I look like Casper the Friendly Natural Haired Ghost. That’s what I get for letting the saleslady choose my new powder.
Anyhoo, on to the giveaway!
I posted about Rahel before.
She’s adorable, her hair is on point, and she wants to belong to one of you!
I am also including this change of clothes:

Even though my daughter is only 15 months, I tell her that she is beautiful. When she gets older I am going to make sure to teach her to love herself not matter what society says. I’m going to let her know the curls in her hair are what make her unique, and that it also serves a purpose to protect from the sun. I could go on and on and I will stop here. LOL.
Love the hair! And you look beautiful as usual. But I have (3) girls ages 7, 6, and 1 and they are all natural. So there is never a dull momemt when it comes to hair, beauty, confidence (just to name a few). So when issues arrive with hair (why my hair doesn’t look like…), beauty (why am I darker/lighter than..), or confidence (I’m not good as…) I simply try to reiterate that they are all beautiful and unique in their own special way. God created us all beautifully and wonderfully made!
you look great!!!
I have a 5yr old daughter. What I do to foster pride is to wear my hear like hers. I don’t add any hair and I don’t wear any weaves at all. I make sure to tell her that she is beautiful and that we were created to be unique. Different people have different color, length and types of hair. I point out the various hair types in her class, blond, red, short, wavy, curly, kinky etc.
My husband and I also made a conscious decision not to buy any “barbie” dolls that aren’t our skin color.
Last but not least, I try to make sure her hair isn’t looking umkempt. that is important that it is neat and pretty looking.
thanks for the giveaway
Your hair looks Fab-you-luss!!! I see so many sistuhs with great looking hair and wonder why my hair always looks a hot mess!! Today, I decded that I couldn’t take the craziness anymore and decided to try to twist up the back a bit and stick hair pins in it to keep it on on place. I’m very frustrated, but won’t go back to relaxing my hair…I do have an appt to get it cut or sometthing..not sure yet. It’s pretty long and it’s taken me 15 months to get it to length it is now, and inasmuch as I don’t want to cut it, I can’t take the afro look day in and day out. My flat twist outs are ok the first day, but go down hill after that and i don’t have the energy to mess with my hair every night, although I know i’d have to do something to it daily….I need serious help!! I know i’m stressing and i don’t want to be…too many other far more important things going on in life! LOL.
While on my tangent, I forgot to mention that your make up looks great…..you are a beautfiul woman, so don’t even worry about the face powder!
