Diary of a Tress Lover: Nicky K

I really enjoy these posts. It's so inspiring to see how far people come on their hair journeys! It definitely can be challenging but it definitely can also be done :)

I've been so fortunate to have some great big sisters in my life and Nicky is definitely one of them. After showing me her hair progress pics i was so excited. I asked Nicky about her regime and here is what she had to say...

August (then)

Feb (now)

Q-When did u start your Healthy Hair Journey?
A- Last year June

Q-What would you say has enhanced your hair growth and thickness the most?
A- Stretching the time between the texturizer and moisturizing my ends a lot as my hair is naturally dry and brittle. Plus i am not afraid to trim it!

Q- Will you ever go natural?
A- Funny you should ask! My hair was relaxed 5 years ago but it kept breaking. I grew it natural and only texturized it 18 months ago. The texturizer comes out like a permanent press. It's straight enough to manage but still has a kink in it :)

Here are some staple products that Nicky uses:

*Aphogee intense treatment
*Castor oil (to seal)
*S-Curl no drip (to moisturize)
*Profective daily anti breakage hair and scalp formula (daily moisturizer)
"Castor oil or Profective on temple and nape"

Be encouraged, you can also achieve better hair :)

Links i Love

Did you know there are more blogs than there are people??? Hmm...crazy right! Well out of these many million blogs i have to give it a special shout out to a few, written by my nearest and dearest. Forgive the bias on this occasion! It's not an occurring thing i pwomise.

So here we go... a short description of each blog...and then you click into another world. Explore and enjoy :)

A very snuggle up kinda tumblr space sharing the impulses of a warm hearted individual... pictures of love... quotes of life, a splash of the celeb buzz and notes from within ... ' The errors of a girl are the elements of a woman'...

http://www.olancollardy.com 

Random thoughts of a modern day man, a definite treat for the mind, i love entering a guys world ...each and every post is a feast for the mind! - ' The official cheeky chap. I'm not ignorant. I'm not obnoxious neither am I conceited. I just see the world in a different light to many!'

http://diaryofafabblackwoman.wordpress.com/ 

 A hilarious read that spans the adventures of a young female, who has no fear in speaking about issues of everyday female life a.k.a dont be scared to say the V word... right up to what she would get up to if she were a guy!  'Did you know the word virgin is not a swear word?'

Superwoman chronicles- 'Everyone is Capable of Everything and Anything can Happen to Anyone' Its not often that i delve so deep into a very intellectual read... but this blog almost acts as a much needed form of mind stimulation. A mother nature type wisdom formed into smooth water like sentences. I LOVE this blog!

I went home last week a.k.a london town and then found myself real ill this week. No fun i promise. But i'm all clued up now, sitting in starbucks with my chai latte and wild blueberry muffin as we speak :) big smile

So as your all very important i figure u should know whats been going on with the blog.

We just clocked our second feature which you can see in the next post. Very exciting :)

I've tweeked the blog layout a bit. 
a.k.a a few colour adjustments and also added an F.A.Q page.

Finally adjusted the official facebook page (this is different to the group by the way)


http://www.facebook.com/pages/Love-Your-Tresses/173015136078352

Got us a twitter account. Mine is too personal to use for the blog as well so #FF @LoveYourTresses


Don't forget we also have a tumblr, if you like pictures this is a great spot to find some hair inspired pics!

Plus there's alot more going on but they are still in working progress. You'll be the first to know when they are all finished :)

Guys thank you again for all of your love and support.
