Loc Creme w/ ingredients

Good morning,

Loooong time no post...trying to work on that but, this post is to show off my Mixtress abilities.

This pic is on Loc Creme for my loc client that I have. I used some products from the beauty supply store but, stopped when reading the ingredients.





My creme ingredients are:

• Aloe Vera juice
• Herbal infused water (burdock root, comfrey root, lavender, and sage)
• Soybean oil
• Grapeseed oil
• Sweet almond oil
• Castor oil
• Horsetail butter
• Grade A shea butter
• Oat protein
• Calendula extract
• Honeyquat
• And a natural preservative called Tinosan SDC

It may seem like a lot of ingredients however, each serves a purpose for the hair growth, shine, and health. All of the oils and horsetail butter are light and absorbs easily. The shea butter is in there at a small percentage and will not weight the hair down.

Its a 8 ounce jar of goodness. I call it "Loc Creme" because I am using it on my loc clients however, I used it on my natural hair has well.

That's all for now, more to come...

I can cornrow my own hair.

Hey there,

I did my hair yesterday morning for a day out and about with my family. I decided to take a photo of it this time because a lot of people do not (can not) believe I can do my own hair without a mirror (I might add). I cornrowed my whole head. Here are the photos (by the way those earrings are made by me):

Now, there this style done by me for me! That's all for now. I am going to go get prepare for the Master Cleanse I will be doing for the next 10 days. I can't wait!


If this is a style you would like to achieve please book your next appointment with me on my site: http://www.loveofhair.com

It has been a while, Crochet Projects!!!

Heeeelllloooo There!!! (*waving*)

It has been quite a while since I've last posted anything on here! (I know right???) This is due to the Spring/Summer season is here and a big wave of new clients have been coming my way. Not to mention I have been working on some crochet projects:

The photo above was the "pieces" for my client's birthday goodie bags, all handmade: the bag, the whipped shea butter, and the sugar cube scrub daisies. With the help of my cousin, we made 9 crochet bags, hand-sew that fabric you see into the bags with a pocket & snap (to close), whipped up some shea butter, made single use sugar cube body scrubs.

I am soooo mad at myself, though! When we finished up the packaging I realized that I didn't have any (charged or extra) batteries in my digital camera (the cellphone's camera did no justice)!!! WHY WHY WHHHHHYYYY!!!!

It was so pretty to see 9 bags already to go to give to the ladies in attendance! Hopefully, someone else will ask me to do a "Goodie Bag" set for their next birthday party or ladies night get-together or something....maybe you?? hint hint ;-)

I did a few hats as well but, this one in particular I really like because it's big enough to hold my fro and even chin-length locs. It's in the tam style with a brim, all black:

Next on the list of projects are 2 sets of threaded earrings and a crochet cellphone cozy:

 I made the Red Black & Green earrings for my mother-in-law and the other earrings with cozy are for a friend of mine (a gift that is waaayyy past due!).

Well that is all for now. I will post more since I have 3 more hats and newborn baby set to make....
stay tuned for those photos and also for more hairstyling show posting!
