It's A Shame For People of Color Not To Achieve All The Benefits Of Mineral Makeup -- When Others Do It So Easily

Has anybody else found that they have matured with their locks? You want to eat better, exercise and just generally present a more healthy YOU to the world.

I know for me... truly once my hair drama was over, my skin condition improved. (Frequent washing no doubt helped my skin tremendously. Just as my dermatologist had ordered me to do prior to Sisterlocks but YOU ALREADY KNOW the issues I had with wetting my hair too soon after just getting it "done"...blah, blah, blah... you know the pre-SL bondage we each were a slave unto.)

Well, I had switched to certified organic and/natural skin and body care products but my makeup... well, that remained the same.

Enter the resurgence of the mineral makeup revolution and wanted IN! Watching TV I almost ordered one of those AS SEEN ON TV mineral products but thought I'd better try it first-hand by having a makeup artist hook me up at Sephora before I decide to buy.

Oooo, I'm so glad I made that trip to Sephora because once again as oftentimes before their "dark/warm" didn't match my skintone at all. I looked like a clown. I bought nothing and began my search for mineral makeup for folks like me.

Anybody have a favorite mineral makeup product!?

I actually had the same issue as you. I was pissed that I couldn't join in on the Bare Escentuals mineral makeup revolution. On a whim, I stopped at a Sephora store and decided to try it ONE more time. I was surprised I(and ecstatic) to learn that Bare Escentuals FINALLY released new shades for darker skin tones. I tried the Golden Dark shade and it was perfect. Yay for me! This was just within the past month so you may want to try again. Good luck!

Length to Short Bob Sisterlocks Hairstyle

Well, it has been about 2 years since my last post... (seems I'm mostly on my personal Facebook page and Google+ not to mention working towards completing my doctoral degree expected 2015 WhoopWhoop... but, I digress...) Here's what up... As the title suggests, I have gotten my length of 9 years cut into an Angled Bob. Now, while I had envisioned my Bob having a definite wedge from the side view... I guess my hair is just to fine to REALLY STACK HIGH naturally. That being said I do like my cut, but I was tickled by it because truly 'all things old become new again'. What I mean is that I HAD a permed Bob with a very short cut nape of my neck upon having my Sisterlocks installed back in 2005...and looking at my hair in 2014 it seems that I have started where I had come back then! (See the pic) Of course, THIS TIME the hair on the top of my head is chemical-free!! This is ME with all my daughters...we all rock natural hair. My two SL'd daughters-- 2girls

Avoid Fat Sisterlocks Ends

"I want Sisterlocks like yours... I hate my fat Sisterlock ends!" This typically happens to Sisterlock'd ends of hair with a thick soft wavy texture. After it occurs, the only remedy I have learned of to date is to CUT OFF THE OFFENDING ENDS. To avoid or control the normal swelling expected on your journey to loc maturity-- particularly, of the thick soft wavy hair type, follow the next set of rules: 1. BAND YOUR ENDS EVERY TIME YOU WASH YOUR HAIR. You may need to do so longer than the regularly prescribed time period until YOUR particular hair type locks. 2. DON'T wet, spritz or spray your ends with anything (Sisterlocks Moisture Treatment product included) unless they are banded. 3. When you shower, at the very least-- WEAR your shower caps my loc'd thick soft and wavy sistahs! Natural Journeys family, please share your fat loc'd hair end avoidance tips!

Just kidding... Lottabody DOES Work on MY Sisterlocks!

Hmmm, well, I guess I figured out my Lottabody to Water ratio... I sure needed to because as you can you see, I have a half bottle of the stuff yet to go... and this large bottle WILL LIKELY last me for the next 9 years... lol!
