Greetings, My Little Astrological Creatures!
Oils are good for all hair types. The thing about my hair type is that it likes oils but drinks them up quickly. It's still an hair essential so don't look down on it. Here are a few oils to get to know.
The first step into reviving my body to it's comfortable state is by splitting my body up into common sections. Today, we'll be tackling the strains on top of our head. Yup, it's our hair! To me, hair is an accessory you can adjust to fit a certain outfit, your taste, or a new identify that you adapted. This is why I think it was important to talk about hair on here because hair is fashion. You have to take care of your hair just like you take good care of your belongs. It's a no brainier but it's a different story for me.

Background Info On Me (The Real-Real)
There are different textures of hair. Some people have naturally straight hair. Some have naturally curly hair. Some have naturally wavy hair. Some have naturally kinky hair. (Duh, that's a no brainier!) For me, I have kinky hair and it can be a pain in the ass. Also, I am tender headed to a T and I don't know how to really handle my own hair. This caused me to neglect my hair and let my mom handle it.
The wake up call that I've received while I wasn't blogging made me realize that I can't just let my hair shrivel up. How am I suppose to make myself feel comfortable in my clothing and in my skin if I left one step out of the equation? This thinking was fueled by the pro-black energy all around me and the people who were preaching the saying of "Loving Thyself". I wouldn't know how to love my hair without getting to know it first. That's why I decide to care for my own hair by feeding it the nutrients it deserves. The End (for now).
Now, I wanted to talk/tell about the research that I've done.Below are some helpful and healthy information involving hair. My hair is always dry so I focused on moisturizing. Disclaimer: This is from a kinky hair girl's point of hair view.
Important Oils

1) Almond Oil
2) Castor Oil
3) Coconut Oil
4) Jojoba Oil ( it's like our natural body oil which is sebum)
- I focused mostly on jojoba oil because it was like sebum. I know that it's not heavy on the hair and helps with dandruff. Unrefined jojoba oil is what you should be looking for because it hasn't been played around with.
5) Tea Tree Oil and many more!
Other Great Moisturizing/Hair Tools
1) Detangling tool
2) Aloe Vera Juice
3) Water
4) Shea Butter
