Napturally Yours -- Back to Basics

So the mini misfit is out like the DirecTV during a thunderstorm and I decided to finally show my hair some love after a few weeks.  I want to deep condition, try one of the awesome rinses I found here, and detangle the tresses.

So what do I do to kick the process off? Start rummaging around my kitchen, of course!  Because...


Anyway... Here are a couple lists of almost everything a naptural will ever need!

The Basics (Foods, literally in your kitchen):
EVOO- extra virgin olive oil (now is the time to get up on your acronyms too)
Coconut Oil
ACV -apple cider vinegar (for clarifying rinse)
Baking Soda (for clarifying rinse)
Honey (to be mixed with oil for deep condition)

The Basics:
Cheap Conditioner (like that $1 Suave coconut...)
Wide tooth comb or brush
Cotton t-shirt (because it can help to maintain your curls, or if you're curlless like me, it helps keep some moisture in your hair)
Spray Bottle (you'll be surprised how fast your extra thick hair will dry.  at the ends.  only)
Shower caps
Dryer of some sort (if you bout that life...)
PATIENCE...and the strength in your arms like Angela Basset in "What's Love Got To Do With It"



(DAMN Bih...)

The Fancy:
Brown Sugar (for a scalp scrub with the next item)
Cayenne (to stimulate scalp, and I like a tingle.)
An assortment of herbs (see rinses link above)
Shea Butter (because this..., although my scalp and I can't get with it)

The Pro:
Henna (Because that Henna Gloss..., although I am working on a modified recipe)
Assortment of Teas (Again, henna glass)
Neem (anti-everything miracle ass oil that stinks but my scalp praises it...)
Essential Oils (mostly for scent, but you have to be BOUT THAT LIFE)

Other things in your kitchen that might prove useful:
Eggs
Mayo
Lemon Juice
Bananas/Banana baby food
Advocado
Coconut Water

Just sharing a list of my favs today.  Maybe I'll explain in greater detail how some of this works at a later date.

Napturalista Out.
