Some hair tips for naturals who like to straighten their hair from time to time

Once again, these two strand twists saved my hair on this tropical vacay to Cancun. I'm getting better at it because it only took my 3 hours to twist my entire head! After washing and conditioning my hair, I applied my favorite @cantubeauty Shea leave-in conditioner for moisture. Then I sectioned my hair and applied a small amount of gel to each section before I started twisting. This style allowed me to swim all day and wash my hair without worrying about the frizz from humidity. Oh and how about @seiba's shades from @quayaustralia? LOVE! 😍 #embracethekinks #cancun #twostrandtwists (at The Pyramid At Grand Oasis Cancun)

BREAKING: On Monday, President Obama will release the final version of America’s Clean Power Plan—the biggest, most important step we’ve ever taken to combat climate change. If you agree that we can’t condemn our kids and grandkids to a planet that’s beyond fixing, share this video with your friends and family. It’s time to take action on climate change.

A while back I went to the DC Love Locks Natural hair show, where they gave away a TON of great samples (score!). First up was Miss Jessie's Multicultural Curls. I like that it was lightweight, yet it still provided decent amount of definition and hold to my kinks/waves/straight pieces. It also smelled great but wasn't overpowering like some of their other products. Sadly the sample was only enough for half of my head though 😔#thickhairproblems #embracethekinks #naturalhair #washandgo #missjessiesmulticulturalcurls

“Kenya is on the move. Africa is on the move. You are poised to play a bigger role in this world, as the shadows of the past are replaced by the light that you offer an increasingly interconnected world. And in the light of this new day, we have to learn to see ourselves in one another. We have to see that we are connected, our fates are bound together. Because, in the end, we’re all part of one tribe—the human tribe. And no matter who we are, or where we come from, or what we look like, or who we love, or what God we worship, we’re connected. Our fates are bound up with one another.” —President Obama to young Kenyans
