  • Be the Spring you wish to see in the world...This sister blesses my feed on the regular with fly style, genuine smiles and COLOR. 🌷🌺🌿☀️🌸 ________________________ 📷: @economyofstyle ・・・ Lightened up my layers, and turned up the color. It’s practically summer in STL right now, my friends. #colorblocking #liveincolor #stlblogger #colormixing #colorlover #creativevibes
  • I admit it - I'm an Afro junkie. With all the beautiful and intricate hairstyles we can do, the one I always come back to is the fro. I just love everything about them - the texture, the shape, the various sizes, and most of all how they defy gravity. This fro was featured in the Exavia issue of Naturally You! back in 2004. I'm loving the cowrie shells and choker necklace! 👊🏽 (I need an Afro pick emoji...) #throwbackthursday #frobackthursday
  • Hi! 👋🏽 I realized I never did an intro post on this page - read below for a little bit more about me. If you want to know more about my personal hair journey, check out the newly minted @naturallykaya. Oh, and Happy International Women's Day! ____________________ #Repost @naturallykaya ・・・ (3/3) Time for an introduction! I'm Kaya. I live in NJ, am married, and have a daughter. I've been natural since 1997, so this year will make 22 years! I have shaved my head three or four times in that time. I love researching natural hair care info, products and techniques and trying them out. I enjoy sharing what I've learned on my website (@naturallyyoumag). I'm also a total foodie and sit and read cookbooks for fun - but only the ones with pictures. I went to the forgotten campus of Rutgers - @runewark! I'm a web developer by trade and can really geek out over certain tech stuff. ____________________ I started this page because I keep reading that there is (still!) a lack of representation of kinky "type 4" hair. It's definitely true, so here (@naturallykaya) I will share snaps and more in depth info about my personal hair care routine than I do on my other account. ______________________ These pics show what my hair looks like three days after wash day. I took out my 14 jumbo twists (see previous post) and pulled my hair back with an @invisibobble hair ring. I brushed the edges with a damp brush, added some Bobby pins and was good to go!
  • I've been experimenting with a diy rhassoul clay cleanser for the past several weeks and I'm loving it. ___________________ Benefits: 1️⃣ It cleanses well without stripping 2️⃣ It detangles the hair 3️⃣ You know what you're rinsing over your whole head and body 4️⃣ It doesn't add to breakouts ___________________ Drawbacks: 1️⃣ You have to measure and mix it 2️⃣ If you store it in the fridge it's cold! 3️⃣ It splashes so can be messy 4️⃣ I think it may be clogging my drain... __________________ Overall, the positives far outweigh the negatives for me. I like to cleanse my hair with regular shampoo periodically, but for now this is my main go-to cleanser.

  • For those with straight hair, shed hairs just slip out and fall on the floor or pillow. Not so for those of us with kinks and coils. At any given time we have loose strands of shed hair floating around in our fros. They stay caught up in the twists and bends of our hair. As they move around, they can get wrapped around other hairs, leading to tangles and complex knots. This ultimately causes breakage. ______________________ Removing shed hair at least once per week can help minimize this. Soak your hair in water/oil/conditioner (experiment to find what works for you) and tug very gently while separating your strands to slide the shed hairs out. ______________________ This can be done on stretched hair outside the shower or under running water. Always always go slow. If you hit a snag apply more product and gently work it out. Slide the hairs out of the knot one by one until the shed hair is released and you can pull it out, or until you can snip just one or two strands of hair.
  • Have you seen this epic breakdown of herbs for natural hair from Ayurveda Queen @deidreforever? ____________________ In this post, she goes in on more than a dozen Ayurvedic herbs from amla to tulsi and everything in between. @deidreforever covers properties and benefits for each herb, as well as how you can incorporate them into your routine. _____________________ Check it out 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽naturallyyoumag.com/ayurveda or hit the link in my bio (click Latest Posts).
  • #facts 🙌🏽 __________________ This is definitely true for me. Many of the naturals I have met over the years always have and will continue to do things their own way. Is this true for you?
