The Lupie Chick

A beautiful sister I had to pleasure of meeting has blogged about me and my shop “Au’Naturale”. She had an oppourtunity to try my products through a friend. From thhere she contacted me, made a purchase and wanted to share her ecperience with the rest of the world. There is nothing more beautiful than a group of ladies networking and “spreading” the blessing and benefits of healthy hair care. Zora is the owner and operator of La’Cocoa Natural Hair Salon in Raleigh, NC. She is also the author/blogger of Cocofabo Blog. Please visit her blog to read the post on Au’Nataurale By Mz.

My Attempt at a basket Up Do- Yikes!!!!

The Lupie Chick




I’m determined to learn how to “style” my loc’s. I’m getting bored with the “same ole same ole” look of rocking a pony tail from day to day. I’m not ready to folk over mad cash to go to a stylist for an up do-so Ive been stalking You Tube for the past 2 weeks. Let me tell ya-them chicas are bad (Fauren, Golden Goddess,Chelsea locs, and DC Church Girl- are my favorites- they demonstrate REALLY slow for us challenged individuals)- LOVE IT! They make trying new styles seem easy, quick, and effortless. This is my latest attempt at a basket up do- I did it 5 times Sunday night- and this is the best out of 5 attempts.. I didn’t like it too much- but my arms were so sore I didnt have the energy to do something else. I created this style using, Lemongrass Spritz (Distilled water, EVOO, Lemongrass EO), jumbo hair pins and two-strand twist on one side. Take a look..Leave a comment *Be Nice* lol..lol..

BTW: I’m on a NO TWISTING DIET- its killing me softly..I was twisting way too much, and I was too obsessed with the “neat-freshly-twisted look”. I’m learning to let them do what they do, and appreciate the look and texture of my loc’s. ** cheering to my inner self- you can do this.. you can do it**

Cherry Lola Treatment – Frizz Reducer Fluke Concoction

The Lupie Chick



For my 3A/4B hair types, I know that frizz and tangling is usually an issue. While surfing the internet for interesting home made concoctions, I ran across Cherry Lola. She has concocted this frizz reducer recipe. From the comments on her site, others have tried it ( tweaked it, replacing yogurt with conditioner) and received amazing results. You be the judge!!!!!

Recipe

Yogurt – 2 parts
For the protein and the conditioning properties.

Baking Soda 1/2 part
To make my hair more porous.

Amino Acids 1/2 part ( can be purchased from whole Foods & Vitamin Shoppe)
To see what they did.

I sectioned my hair into eight parts and applied the concoction with my fingers, making sure to coat from root to tip. As soon as I put the treatment on I could tell something was different. My roots! My roots started to clump together.

This has been my big “issue”; frizz – mostly at the roots. This treatment totally calmed the frizz down and made the roots behave the way the rest of my hair does. It has become curly from root to tip. I was floored by the results. I still am. I’ve done the treatment three times now over the course of a week and the results seem to just get better. I haven’t changed anything else in my regime and have been using Lustra Silk and my own handmade conditioner, or the Henna Wax Treatment, and co-washing every other day with Boots

Demo: Nappy Loc Tool latch hook method of retighning loc’s

The Lupie Chick

Ive been hearing about the nappy loc tool… wondering if it would help me. You know I have a battle with the frizzies, and my loc’s un winding after a few days. I’m thinking about ordering the tool and trying it during my next loc maintenance. Hopefully this method will help with the loose roots, stray hairs and the frizzies.. Ive also heard the buzz about using a latch hook- but from the video Ive seen the tool can get caught in your hair- something I’m not trying to experience especially since I’m tender headed.. Have any of you tried latching using the nappy loc tool or a latch hook? watch the video and let me know what you think…..
