here is tuesday's results from the french braids on monday night. This after I picked it all apart because I didn't like the look. It wasn't all the way dry the ends were puffy only a couple were defined like I would like it.

I can see color. Can you see it?

I want to learn how to apply make up correctly. I am frugal so the cosmetics either must last a long time if I pay a pretty penny or be inexpensive and work. I like neutral colors but want to step out when it comes to hanging out at night and on the weekends. Any suggestions?

Ok I started out using high end expensive stuff. Over the years I have experimented and I think the easiest thing to start with is cover girls enhanced eyeshadows they have 4 colors in the pack and a guide on the package to recommend usage. If you don't want to do a whole look I suggest picking the two of the colors use the prominent or darker color on the lower lid and the lighter to highlight your browbone and arched eyebrow.

I hope this helps.

I need to work on my makeup game too.

lynnieluve how do you get your signature to show on your posts?

Go to "Profile" and there is an option under there for your signature.

I am a big fan of mac!!! but I am out so I have been using my powder from prescriptives, I think because I have been drinking more water lately I am seeing the results in my skin...

I started out using Mary Kay but didn't like their foundations. So I started using Mac Powder foundations the photo fix. I just started experimenting with cover girl, wet n wild, and eye shadows from Icing.

Is that your natural hair color? It's so nice, I love the subtle brown .

I can see color! It's not harsh so I really like it. Does the henna gloss enhance your natural color or is it like a semi permanent color?

@ danceonskylines my natural color is brown but its dull ot dusty

@human nature the color from henna almost has properties of a rinse. does wash out as time goes on. it does enhance your natural color. your natural color really determines your henna results color wise.

I can see the color too! Very pretty SheeTacular!!!

Yes I see the color...love it!

Thank you ladies. I prefer the henna gloss to the straight henna process. I have some mixed up that I plan on putting in tonight. I originally planned for Sunday but that didn't happen. LOL.

I am ending the Hair Growth Challenge and joining the Protective Style (Hide Your Hair) Challenge. Sade Smith from Our Natural Hair Care Journey group on facebook has issued a 60 day challenge. I will add a link later because I don't have access to FB at work. Here are the rules and my vow. I will post my length check results when I find the charger to my camera....

Smooches.

Protective Style (Hide your Hair) Challenge!
Challenge Duration: January 1, 2010- March 1, 2010
RULES:
The challenge is to keep combing to a minimum. You are to hide your hair for TWO months from ANYONE.
-Hair must be kept in a protective style 90% of the time
Protective styles include:
-Extension Braids or Twists
- Braids or Twists with own hair
-Sew in Weaves
-Wigs or Ponytails
- Buns
-Bantu Knots
-Cornrows etc,.
- Hair must be only combed during washday while wet or damp, w/ WIDE TOOTHED COMB.
-You must keep up with personal regimen in between styles to maintain health
- You are ALLOWED ONE cheat pass for a wedding or a special events, after that, you MUST resume hair care routine,
-Braids and Twists with OWN hair must be kept in for a MINIMUM of 2 weeks. No Twist-outs or Bantu Knot Outs because we are HIDING the hair.
-Hair Growth aids ARE allowed but don’t forget to moisturize those ends and keep regimen as simple as possible!
We will have a hair reveal on March 1, 2010. There will be ONLY TWO length checks: One on December 31, 2009 and one on March 1, 2010. Transitioners are welcome to join. If you are wearing braids, wash them to prevent buildup at the roots.
The EASIEST way to do this challenge is to wear extensions, sew ins, and Wigs. Just don’t forget to take care of your hair underneath.
The more Challenging way to do this is with your own Natural hair. So take your pick! ARE YOU DOWN??
Write your personal vow: Here’s mine.
I, Sade Smith, vow to keep my hair in a protective style 90% of the time for two months. I will be using my own hair wearing braids, twists, buns, or head wraps, to hide my hair. After two weeks are up, I will wash condition and moisturize my hair. Lastly, I vow to do ONLY 2 length checks providing photos. My hair will thank me later!
My hair regimen:
-Detangle hair with Tresseme Flawless Curls Conditioner or Sedal Conditioner under running water.
-Wash Hair w/ Baking Soda, or a mild shampoo
-Deep Condition w/ Salerm wheat conditioner
-Moisturize with Motions CPR Leave In AND seal with Olive Oil
-Hair Growth Aid: Boundless Tresses


Here is my vow.

good luck with your challenge!

ok ladies Henna gloss number 2. I did a henna gloss on my sis hair on sunday it colored the gray well. I don't see a tint on her hair yet but her hair is black so it may take a while but we are enjoying this because it rinses better and my hair feels better after the gloss than doing the regular henna process.

I will get back with you all later with a length check.

I am gonna do a hair challenge before my one year mark. The challenge I am about do for myself is a no buy challenge.

Good luck with your challenge.

Thanks for the support ladies!!!
