I hate the term "GOING NATURAL"...

I hate the term "going natural." Black/African women don't go natural, we return natural. We convert back to our essence and reclaim our crown. Our hair speaks volumes as to who we are and where we come from. For generations we have been fed to believe our hair wasn't pretty, wasn't good and it needs to be "relaxed" to be accepted. Little did we know, our hair has connections to the Sun, our hair tells stories and most importantly, it's a distinctive part of our identity and our belonging to other "kinky haired" people across the globe!
Below, I briefly show you a step by step process for one of many hairstyles us "natural" hair women can do for an easy, stylish look! Now don't get me wrong, as a beauty professional, I love switching up my look. From short to long, adding extensions and braids and maybe some bold, wild coloring. But at the end of the day, I don't mind rocking out my real hair and creating a fun & flirty look with it!

Achieve these beautiful curls in no time!

Step 1:

Grab your awesome organic hair products and clean

your hair vigorously!

Step 2:

After shampooing and conditioning,

do a deep conditioner with an organic hair mask

infused with healing & repairing ingredients for your hair!

Sit under the dryer for 10-15 minutes on the cool setting.

Once your done, rinse with warm water.

Step 3:

Towel blot your hair. Do not completely dry.

Take a leave in conditioning spray, in my case I used

Alba Botanica coconut milk mist spray; and spray all over. 

Some may use a foaming wrap lotion. I don't like putting

all those chemicals in my hair so I used a product that was less

harsh and vegan friendly. Other items you need are a comb,

hair clips, and roller rods.

Step 4:

Completely saturate your hair with your product

of choice. Then you want to part and two-strand twist

your hair, attaching a roller rod. Continue this until your

head is completely covered. It doesn't matter how big or

small your partings and twist are.

Step 5:

Once your finished twisting and rolling your rods,

you want to sit under your dryer, with the heat setting on high,

until your whole head is completely dry! This can take up to

a half an hour up to an hour or longer depending on how thick

your hair is. But be patient! The dryer it is the better the style and hold!

Step 6:

Remove rods and untwist!

(Finished pics were taken after I left my house.

Mommy duties were calling!)

And WALA! There you have a nice textured and

stylish curl for your natural, beautiful self!

This style usually lasts me about 3-4 days depending on if I workout and sweat it out! I wrap my hair at night with a loose bonnet to preserve the "curly fro" look of it. I awake, spray my coconut milk mist to wake up my curls. May spray a light shine mist by Design Essentials and I'm out the door! Hopefullyyou enjoy this look as much as I do!

SAVE our PLANET, while nourishing your SKIN & HAIR!

Using organic, natural and less harmful products for your skin and hair has phenomenal benefits! The less chemical, the happier your skin and hair. Not only will you look and feel better, it can pour over into your eating habits. And vice versa. No point in eating healthy and working out if you don't treat other parts of your body with the same care. Investing in healthier choices is a must for us here at BoojiBEE. And it should be for you too! If not, fooling around with us it will be.

Below, I listed a few products that we've added to our services that our clients will fall in love with. These items can be found at your local health food & grocery store. 

Now let's discuss!

Alba skin care line has organic,

natural and vegetarian based ingredients

infused to create the best experience for your facial.

1. Remove all makeup first with their hawaiian detox towelettes.

These face wipes are to rid of topical pollutants that make their

way on our face throughout the day. Made with no artificial colors

or fragrances. 

2. Cleanse the face with Alba's hawaiian facial cleanser. It's a pore 

purifying and has pineapple enzymes that are hypo-allergenic. No 

animal testing, parabens or phthalates and has 100 vegetarian 

ingredients. Created using pineapple, papaya for skin brightening,

aloe, hibiscus and passion flower to provide much needed R&R, 

that's soothing and smells great!

3. Next, you'd want to exfoliate with their hawaiian detox scrub.

This scrub is an anti-pollutant volcanic clay. Designed specifically

to rid skin of everyday build up of pollutants that clog up pores. 

The infused clay helps to exfoliate dull skin, then absorbs and washes

away problematic impurities. Helping to avoid pimples and blackheads.

4. The next product shown in this picture is actually the very last 

step when you moisturize the skin. Yet, it's designed to give a 

light, moisturizing feel to the face. The aloe and green tea 

helps to keep your face refreshed and hydrated. And the

added cucumber and gotu kola extracts provide antioxidant

benefits that leaves your skin feeling smooth and silky!

5. After you exfoliate and steam, you want to apply your facial

mask. At BoojiBEE, we like to mix up and create just the perfect

mask. We take one scoop of the moroccan red clay powder,

open one capsule of the Charcoal full spectrum herb, spray a few 

squirts of the Rose Petals rosewater and mix this all together

with natural, purified spring water. This creates a paste that

goes on smooth and doesn't smell too bad. Always use a purified,

spring water for best results when providing facials. Tap water is 

not recommended. 

6. The rosewater has a delicate floral scent and is very therapeutic.

You can use as a perfume, body splash or add to your bath water.

7. The Charcoal by Natures Answer is gluten free, vegan based 

and has purified carbons. Mixing this into your facial clay

helps the fight against acne and pulls out toxins and unwanted

skin pollutants that creates bad looking skin. One capsule per

face is all you need.

8. The moroccan red clay powder is what creates the mask. Mainly

designed for sensitive skin in need of detoxification, pore

shrinkage and tighter skin. One teaspoon per face. Allow 

to set for 15-20 minutes, steam, rinse and apply your toner.

Which is the second to last step in your facial procedure.

9. BURT's BEES Garden Tomato TONER is for oily 

and troubled skin. This product removes residues of

facial soaps,cleansers and dead skin cells, while restoring

your natural pH balance. The tonic benefits of the tomato

cucumber and parsley extracts deep cleans and tightens 

the pores, leaving your face smooth, firm and finely textured.

Now apply your hawaiian oil free moisturizer.

Next on the list, HAIR CARE!

The Alba hair care line is to die for! These products

are infused with real fruits and vegetables and do not possess

unhealthy ingredients like parabens and phthalates. Never tested 

on animals and has no damaging sulfates or heavy minerals.

1. The hawaiian shampoo is a body builder made with real

mango. It promotes extra volume and bounce to make lifeless hair

live again! The mango, papaya and other tropical extracts nourish

your hair, while the gentle botanical cleansers lift away heavy dirt

and grime.

2. Alba's hawaiian conditioner also promotes the same as the shampoo. 

This conditioner features botanical replenishment, exotic extracts

and weightless tropical oils that nourish the hair. Great for over

processed hair as well. 

3. The hawaiian deep conditioning mask is made with real

cocoa butter to help recover and repair damaged hair. This product

is better than any other hair mask product I've ever tried. It's 

formulated for dry, damaged stresses that needs immediate and intense

restorative treatment. The concentrated argon oil and keratin refortify

and creates a protective barrier around hair strands, making your 

hair, soft and manageable. 

4. When your done with your mask, rejuvenate your hair with Alba's 

leave-in conditioning mist. Infused with real coconut milk for

mega moisture and to quench dull, thirsty and tangled hair.

Spritz on lightly over damp hair and style as desire. You

can also spray over dry hair to reactivate styling products

and tame unruly curls.

5. Last but certainly not least, I picked up an anti-dandruff medicated 

shampoo by AVALON ORGANICS. A careful blend of 2% salicylic

acid, aloe vera, tea tree,chamomile and essential oils work in

harmony to a.) treat and prevent dandruff. b.) relieve scalp

dryness, itchiness flakes caused by contact dermatitis, seborrheic

dermatitis and psoriasis. c.) conditions and nourishes hair from

follicle through entire shaft. End result, you'll have hair that is soft,

flake free and healthy looking. AVALON ORGANICS are also

non GMO, vegan based and biodegradable.
