Loc Obsession : 12 Loc Styles that Rock

I have always toyed with the idea of wearing my hair in locs, but since I like to switch up my style often, locs wouldn't be the best choice for me. When I see women with locs I adore the versatility of the many ways to wear locs. Locs can be worn long, short, dyed, curly, or in a bun. Locs can do it all.

Beauty | Tips to getting a healthy scalp

Eat Healthy : Healthy diets equal a great looking scalp. Believe it or not what we put in our body can have a great effect on our scalp and skin. A diet consisting of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains and unsaturated fat will lead to a more healthier scalp.

Kill the Heat :  Heat damage is one of the many things that can prevent you from having a well functioning scalp. Blow-dryers and hooded dryers extract an excess amount of heat to the scalp which is cause you hair to become brittle and dry. Try to avoid using heat as much as possible.

Avoid tension on the hair. braids that are to tight or styles that add tension to the scalp can cause a great deal of damge.

 Avoid Oil to the Scalp : When I was coming up applying oil or heavy grease to the scalp was a way to keep you scalp moisturized, but little did we know that applying such products directly to the scalp was blocking our pores which needed oxygen to help our hair to grow Applying oil and grease directly to the scalp can cause great hair and scalp damage. Your scalp naturally produces oil so there is no need for added product. Keep your hair and scalp clean and just apply oil to the root and ends of your hair.

Use the Right Products :
Using the right products for you hair type can make a world of difference when it comes to your texture hair and scalp. Not all hair products are created equal. So it is imperative to do some trail and errors to find what product will work well with you hair and scalp. Avoid shampoos that consist of sulfate and ammonium. When using conditioners make sure to rinse the product out of your have to avoid developing dandruff.

I hope that these will work for you as they have help me in maintaining healthy hair and scalp.

Workout Tips | How to handle your hair at the gym

Research has shown that 2 out of every 5 African American women have avoided exercise due to concerns of ruining their hair style, researches say that this is concerning given the United States Obesity Epidemic. My hair has never stopped me from working out, but I have learned that many of my friends fret getting their hair sweaty and will avoid workout to stay fit and healthy. Well, I have 3 tips to help you save your hairdo.

1) Braids:

Braids may not be for everyone, but they can come in handy when you want to kick start a gym regimen, and not have to worry about sweating out your hair do. Braids can be worn in a array of styles to help you get through you workout routine. I prefer to wear mine in a bun, but you can also put your braids in a low slung ponytail or a high ponytail with a sweat absorbent headband.

2) Sweat Absorbent Headband :

Sweat absorbent headbands can be worn around your head to keep from sweat dripping down onto you face and are a great piece for when you have your hair in a high bun or ponytail.  Actress Nicole Ari-Parker created the " Save your do" gym wrap which is a stylish headband that can be worn to protect you hair style from sweating out, it allows heat to escape, wicks away moisture and saves your hair style.

3) Pincurl/ Wrap: 

Pin-curling is another method that can be used to save your hair-do. This technique will help keep your curls dry and is great for relaxed or presses hair, while it may not help with the root of your hair it will save your curls. Tie your hair up with a scarf and get your workout on.
