Protecting Hair from the Sun- Healthy Hair Tip

As summer approaches its the perfect season to allow our hair to flow free and there are alot of style options. My personal favorite is the wash and go. mainly because its quick and easy and only requires a little effort.

However you should at all costs try to avoid over exposing your natural hair to the sun in order to maintain healthy hair. Heat damaged hair is much more suceptible to sun damage as is color treated hair. Unprotected hair may be suceptible to breakage due to the harsh UV rays.

For that reason, I highly suggest using a good leave in conditioner that contains a sunscreen to lock in the moisture and help nourish dry hair.

Other important things for protecting your hair in the summer sun are to try to avoid using excessive heat methods such as the blow dryer, curling irons and glat irons. Protect your hair by wearing hats or scarfs and by using protective styling!

healthy hair journey update

I got my hair professionally straightened, for real this time, last week. Pictures to come. I had the ahuapui treatment at the Paul Mitchell salon which is a repairative and left my hair feeling AMAZING. It was exciting to see how much my hair had grown and how healthy it was! Very encouraging to know that I am doing right by my hair!!!! So I guess its time to keep up what I have been doing and step it up a notch!

I am super excited just a week away from my next meetup! I am excited to have Tanta B Salon as a sponsor for this meetup and will be hosting it there on 617 Lady Street in the Vista.

The stylists will be there to share useful information on Protective Styling, Thermal Styling and tips on healthy hair care in general. We had an awesome time at last month's meetup and cannot wait to do it again. Additionally we will have our product swap as well! So clean out the cabinets and bring any slightly used products that didn't work for your and let someone else give it a try.


The event is free and open to the public but space is limited so please rsvp early kurlygirl1908@gmail.com!!!!

Columbia Curly Girl Meetup

I hosted my first meetup the other weekend. There were only about 10 women in attendance but we had an awesome time sharing and venting our hairstories, frustrations and celebrations! Komaza care pulled through as a sponsor and provided the group a 10% discount on their products so that was awesome because I LOVE their line! and I am in dire need of a restock anyway. The meeting ended with a product swap. I got the Morrocan Oil product line which I will most definitely be reviewing. But for now, time to plan the May Meetup! I already have a sponsor lined up Tanta B Salon so I am super excited!
