Speaking of Fall, here's a couple of protective styles from one of my favorite YouTube Naturalites, SimplYounique.

Hey guys! The Natural hair world is buzzing about this so I just had to post....take a look at the owner of the World's Largest Afro

It's a whopping 4ft and some change!! Now I swear I have seen bigger and maybe the pic isn't doing it much justice, but nonetheless it's still a beautiful head of hair and the color compliments her skin flawlessly *iDIE*

Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!!

FALL FABULOUS

Man oh Man!! If you couldn't tell by the weather this morning, Fall is definitely upon us - which means that Ol' Man Winter is right around the corner :( Although I am NOT ready, I have to make sure my hair is. The cooler air and subsequent snow can definitely take a toll on our hair if we don't take the proper precautions to protect it.

So what can we do to make sure our hair is ready for the colder months ahead? Here are some suggestions:


No more W&Gs...ok well I won't say cut them out completely, but definitely scale back. Walking outside with a wet head will more than likely make you sick *in my case*or you'll have a serious headache. Wash your hair in the evening so that your hair can dry while you sleep

Pin Up Time - Fall calls for sweaters, jackets, and such so wearing your hair up will protect your ends from snagging on your clothes

Moisturize more often! Your hair needs more moisture in the cooler months, moisturizing in the morning and at night will help you combat dryness

Time for the heavier products - Break out those conditioners and butters! They're just ready to help seal in all that moisture the air is trying to take out

What will you do to make sure your hair is Fall Fabulous?

COMMON MISTAKES AS NATURALS

{Source}

In our natural hair journey we ARE going to make mistakes. It's just a fact. I found this article and I think she was DEAD on. I've experienced almost all of these. It really is a learning process - things I used to do to my hair, I can't anymore.

In short, these are the most common mistakes we make:

Not detangling

Sleeping without a satin cap/scarf

Using excessive heat

Shampooing too frequently

Not knowing product ingredients

Not adding or sealing moisture

Natural hair means automatic growth

Read the full article here.

One thing I'd like to add is just because someone has the same "Type" of hair as you does not mean it's the same. I fell into the trap of "oh you're Type 4, well what do you use because I'm sure it will work on my hair." NEGATIVE. Come to find out, her hair is way more porous than mine and a lot finer.

What do you think? What are some mistakes you've made and how has your hair adjusted?
