Sassy Southern Curls

It's the end of the year and also around the time that people begin thinking about their goals for next year. I've always been a goal setter but this year I wanted to try something different. I wanted to create a vision board. What's a vision board you may wonder? According to makeavisionboard.com a vision board is  a t ool used to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on a specific life goal.  To create a traditional vision board, you'd use a large sturdy poster board. Then using an old magazine you'd cut out pictures and words create to a visual collage of your goals. I took to Google and Pinterest for ideas and came across a digital vision board. Sounds interesting right? I didn't have any magazines laying around and I sure as hell didn't want to buy magazines just to cut them up. A digital vision board proved to be my best option. So how did I get started? I'd already written down my goals weeks ago so that part was complete. I spent a S...

I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather! It's really important that you keep your hair properly moisturized during this time of the year. The only way to seal in moisture is by using an oil or butter. For a limited time this Winter, I'll be offering Sassy Curls Hair Oil with peppermint oil. I was first introduced to peppermint oil last year at our natural hair show here in Phoenix. Not only does it smell awesome but peppermint oil has tons of benefits. Sassy Curls Hair Oil can be used as a sealant, heat protectant, and hot oil treatment. With over six different oils, it's the perfect product for textured hair.  Visit www.sassysoutherncurls.com to learn more and to purchase your bottle today!

One of the biggest challenges of having natural hair is retaining moisture. When I first went natural I instantly noticed a difference. It also didn't help that I lived in a dry area such as Phoenix. Many women use the L.O.C. (liquid, oil, and cream) method however more of us are leaning towards the L.C.O. (liquid, cream, and oil) method for moisturizing our hair. Honestly I just find that using oil as the last product makes more sense. I never really tried the L.O.C. method so I really never had a reason to switch over. I go into a little more detail on why I prefer the L.C.O method in one of my recent uploads.

In one of my recent videos I test out another DIY deep conditioner using three ingredients: aloe vera gel, coconut oil and honey. I must say this is hands down the BEST DIY deep conditioner I've tried. Next time, I may add 1/2 cup of cholesterol. I'm including the video below.

This Fall/Winter I'll be introducing a series of DIY hair masks and treatments for natural hair.  A couple of weeks ago I posted a short clip of my go to hot oil treatment. (See below) I honestly think that a lot of naturals overlook the importance of hot oil treatments and deep conditioning.  I like to deep condition every month however I have been slacking on hot oil treatments.  So stay tuned ladies!! Every month I'll be coming at you with a different hair mask.

I finally did a video on how I maintain my twist outs through out the week.

One of the first essential oils I started using was lavender oil. It's also the only essential oil added to Sassy Curls Hair Oil . I also use this oil for aromatherapy to enhance my mood or just to clear my mind. Check out some other usages below.
