Morning Jog :)

So I'm on a mission. . I have been running a lot. . and have just started running everyday. I have always wanted to run a small marathon nothing big, but maybe a 5k something like that.

Besides running a marathon, I just want to keep up with my exercise. It's a very important element to trying to live healthy.

Hair Types 101: Whats your Hair Texture?

As much as I love hair, I have never really looked into my hair type or texture. I thought I would do some research and find these hair textures just for an F.Y.I.

So of course the Internet has a multitude of information on hair types, textures, colors, curls and swirls, but I just wanted to know the basics:)

According to the website Curls Biz there are four different hair types and each type is broken down an even more specific type and texture.

• Type 1: Straight Hair

Classified as 1
Simply defined by the site has simply being sheen.
Hard to Damage
Hard to curl
Most Oily Hair texture

• Type 2: Wavy Hair

Classified as 2
Sub categories are 2a, 2b, 2c, which start with 2a being more curly than 2b and so on.
Hair texture is in between straight and curl. I would like to call medium :)
This hair type may have more frizz than most, because of its in between stage.

• Type 3: Curly Hair

Classified as 3
Sub categories are 3a, 3b, 3c
definite by an "S" shape
has a curl pattern
damaged prone

• Type 4:Kinky Hair

Classified as 4
Sub categories 4a, 4b, 4c
tight and coiled hair
according to curl biz this type of hair is the most fragile
describing it as a "Z" pattern
driest hair type
hair grows at the same rate as other hair types although it is a misconception that it doesn't



Of course these hair textures are an overall spectrum of all hair types with different cultures and races.
People can change there hair to make them different textures in many different ways. This is just an idea of what yours may be. . :) Through the research I have found. I am not a certified hair expert.

Winterized: Protecting your Natural Hair in the Winter Months

Well I can't believe it, but its October already. Crazy right? Well as much as I love the summer time. . you gotta change with the times and that goes with your hair too. My hair gets a little dryer in the winter months and its important to moisturize it just a little bit more. I'd say for me between October to March.

• I like to do hot oil treatments and set my hair with pure Shea butter under the dryer.
• Try washing your hair every two weeks maybe instead of washing it every week. Remember when you wash your hair. . you wash out all of the natural oils in it. Washing too often can cause it to be too dry!
• I love hats in the winter time. You know the ones that look like little sweaters on your head? lol .. . Yes. . they are good . because lets face it. .sometimes we don't wanna have to deal with our hair, plus it will help you keep your hands out of your head.
• Oiling your scalp on a more regular basis is also a good idea. Try not to grease your scalp. Greasing the scalp can cause your pores to get clogged. Oil is better because it's light and does the job. :)
• Last but not least. .DRINK WATER. .. !! I can't stress this enough. Drinking water is not just good for your hair but good for your skin and over all body health too!

Ummmmm can't think of anything else now .. its been since last years since I winterized. . lol. . :)

Always remember. . your hair is like a plant . keep it watered ( moisturized) and your good do to go!
