My Dad, My Cousin, &  I
Hey Y'all,

My Dad and I had the pleasure of being the Special Guests at the "Stop The Violence" - Beginner Amateur Boxing Belt Show held at the Sugar Ray Leonard Gym in Palmer Park, Maryland!

We had a great time! :-)

During one of the intermissions - My Dad was called up to the ring to be acknowledged for his YEARS of Professional Boxing Training!


*Bio Of My Dad - (Previous Post) - Click The Link Below*
My Family, The Contender 3 & All Things Boxing!

My Dad walked around the ring and was applauded by the crowd! As he was about to walk out of the ring, I was called up to the ring! He had a confused look on his face because he didn't know what was going on. I opened up a book bag and pulled out a Championship Belt!

My Cousin planned to have my Dad presented with his own Championship Belt and wanted me to present it to him! My Dad was surprised and overjoyed - The look on his face was priceless! He thanked us and gave us a hug. He raised his Championship Belt and walked around the ring with pride!

I wanted to give a special S/O to my Cousin "Little" for making this happen - Thank you so much!

In Review: Red Raj - Henna

Red Raj Henna
Hey Y'all,


I can't help but buy products from Henna Sooq every time I see them! Whether it's online, at an event or etc... I ALWAYS leave with something from them and my wallet is always thinner! LOL


I bought their Red Raj Henna and couldn't wait to try it out! 


I also bought their Cocoveda and Moroccan Clay Shampoo Bar a while back - so Stay Tuned for that post as well! :-)


Info and Directions

Sealed Henna
My Mix:

- 100g of Red Raj Henna
- 2 Cups of Water
- 4 Bags of Green Tea
- 1 Tbsp of Honey

4 Bags of Green Tea & 2 Cups of Water


1 Tbsp of Honey

My Mix
I boiled water, added 2 Cups of boiled water to a measuring, added 4 bags of Green Tea and let it set until cooled to room temperature.
I added the Henna to a large bowl, added the Green Tea and mixed it together.
I let it set for 4 hours, then added 1 Tbsp of Honey.
I sealed it with saran wrap and a lid & let it set overnight.

Freshly Washed Hair
The next day, I washed my hair and put it into 4 sections with clips.
*Gloves Ready* - I applied the Henna to damp hair and worked it into each section.
I then removed the clips from my completed sections of Henna'd hair and put them all together.
I added saran wrap as added protection. (Henna can't get real messy)
I put on my shower cap with a headband, my scarf and my beanie & went about my day!

I let it set for 8 hours then rinsed & Co-Washed my hair.
I applied a Deep Conditioner, placed a shower cap, bonnet & slept with it overnight.

Deep Condition

Bonnet & Bed - Nite! 
The next morning I rinsed out the Deep Conditioner and put my hair in 4 sections.
I applied a Styling Cream and put my hair into Medium Sized - 2 Strand Twists.
I then stretched and pinned my 2 Strand Twists and placed a Decorative Scarf on my head.
It works as a protective style and is great for work and when going out and about!

IN REVIEW:


I LOVE the Red Raj Henna!

PROS:
It was easy to mix.
It went on like melted BUTTER! LOL
It was easy to wash out.
It gave me HOT - Fire Red results!

CONS:
A bit twiggy but I have yet to come across a Henna that isn't!!!!!

The Red Raj Henna from Henna Sooq is a MUST HAVE for me now!

**For a list of the products I used after I Henna'd - I will post those in a separate blog post**

N Natural Hair Studio: FREE Big Chop Event - Photos

Stay Away From The Products! LOL

Jewelry

Comfy Styling Chairs!


The Office!

Angela Posing!

I LOVE This Shampoo Chair! 
Hey Y'all,

The FREE Big Chop Event was amazing! It was so nice to see everyone there and to see them with rock their TWA's with pride!

I brought Alyssa with me and she did so well! I thought that after an hour she would go wild but she had a great time and was on her best behavior! She was awarded BIG TIME for that! LOL

Attending this event mad me think - why don't other salons do this?!

There are women out there who want to go Natural but don't know how. THIS is the way to do it. You help them with their Big Chop and as their hair grows - so does the relationship between the stylist and client! You gain much more than just a client - you gain a CurlFriend! :-)

I wanted to give a special S/O to the women who did their Big Chop and to those who were there to support them! It was so nice to feel all of the POSITIVE energy that was in the room!

Thanks Angela, Tizita, Ashley and everyone else who was there in attendance! Y'all made everyone feel so welcomed and made the Big Chop experience that much more comfortable! You ladies are the best!





She had really LONG hair!
