How I Blowout & Trim Kinky 4c Hair (for DIY Naturals)

The ability to learn and do most things on my own is something that I have always valued. It’s no different when it comes to my kinky, 4c hair. Once I got my hair cut back in September 2014, I knew that maintaining my ends was something I just had to learn to do myself. I just am not about that “go to the salon and pay someone else to do what you can do” life. Sorry, not sorry! I haven’t been in an actual salon in over 5 years (getting my cuz to cut my hair on his porch does not count). So after a trial run of blowing and trimming my own in January (2015), I had enough confidence to share how I blow out and trim my own hair. So after 6 months, I took out my camera to film the process for you.

Kinky, 4c textured hair like mine can be pretty tricky to trim in it’s natural state. TAP TO READ MORE

4c Kinky Hair Product Review: Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave -In & Shea Yogurt Hair Moisturizer

Hey everyone! Back in October, I finally got my hands on some Alikay Naturals products for the first time ever. I attended a local hair event and not only was there an Alikay Naturals booth, but the CEO of Alikay Natural’s, Rochelle Graham aka BlackOnyx77 on YouTube, was there doing hairstyle demos. Ahhhhh! Yes I did have a fan girl moment. Anyways, two of the products that I purchased for my hair were the Alikay Natural’s Lemongrass Leave-In Conditioner and the Alikay Natural’s Shea Yogurt Hair Moisturizer. Both the Lemongrass Leave-In Conditioner and Shea Yogurt Hair Moisturizer are recommended for kinky hair as indicated by the hair typing system on the labeling. Both products have a consistent smell of Lemongrass that I absolutely loved! My boyfriend asked if I was baking Lemon Cake (one of his faves) when I first used these products in my hair. It filled the room and hallway with it’s fragrance. So now I know what I can improvise with when I’m out of air freshener.

OVERALL RATING
Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave-In
5 out of 5 Luvs

Alikay Naturals Shea Yogurt
5 out of 5 Luvs

How Did I Use Them: I incorporated these products into my LOC (Liquid Oil Cream) method of moisturizing TAP TO READ MORE
