Henna

Marilyn: On Saturday, we decided to go to the whole food store ( Rainbow's) and get a few things. I decided to try the Rainbow's Henna Persian Red after watching a video about and realizing that it is the only real henna without additives in that store. ( I used the Persian Dark Brown two months ago; took longer to rinse out.)      

When we got home, I decided to change the directions a bit. I boiled the water as usual, mixed it with the henna, added my Aubrey Aloe Vera, and covered and sat the mixture in the fridge for 45 minutes. After letting it sit, I applied the henna to my hair, without a brush. ( had on gloves). Since I didn't get under the dryer, I left it in for 70 minutes then rinse. It came out somewhat easier than the Persian Dark Brown, and I could see a color change in n my hair. It was a reddish dark brown color, cute, but now I have to be in good lighting to see the red color. The color will be brighter the next time.

Overall, I was really happy about the results. My hair is a little softer before, with more help from the Jamaican Black Castor Oil, and has a red tint to it. So at this moment, I am please.

Ohh Weather

Carolyn: Well I tried to do a twist out again over the weekend like I did for Easter, but...... the weather is constantly changing. It's humid one day, raining the next, and nice the other. So I give up for the next week, probably will give my hair a break. Other than that, I kind of have to wear a little make up so I stick to mascara for school. I haven't decided yet if I want to put on a little eyeshadow( by the way we are also make up junkies even though we don't wear make up often), but I think mascara is good enough for me. Oh and GOOD NEWS, school's almost out! Don't know what day you get out, but we get out in 3 weeks and 1 day! We are counting down! Thank you God for Summer Break! :D

April Update

Carolyn: Well it's been a while since we last posted. Since the last time, I've BC'ed (WOOHOO!), Mimi and me made a month, and we both tried twist outs. I am proud to say that after my twist out, my hair was long enough to pull back in a headband and I tried Natural Chica's twist out twisted tiara style. My dad actually liked it. We have been real busy lately: Mimi with her choir practices( we joined our church), and me with yearbook applications, school work, and photography( have to put up pics soon). So Mimi and I will try to start posting more and upload videos, including a few how to's, and we will check back with you later.

P.S.: We've been doing a couple of walks and Barack made us soo proud, will post pics soon. Also Monday April 4th was our 16th B'Day and tomorrow is our bro's 11th B'Day! ;)
