hi yafa!! what is co-washing? gamine, i wanna know all about this plantain-honey thing! it's for the face?? |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 10:28pm On Sep 13, 2009 |
@Africhika. Yup its for the face, Plantain has anti-aging properties, Collagen added with honey it helps tone it and evens out the color of the skin. |

Gamine: How do you make it? Do u leave it on or wash it off? oh and the olive oil thing, how do I steam my face? lol |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 2:40pm On Sep 14, 2009 |
Umhh, The plantain has to be ovaaa ripe. put it in a blender, make sure its smooooooth, if not ur gonna have clumps of stuff if u use it in ur hair too, The add the honey, blend it all. Then apply, leave for as long as u can, then rinse off. As for steaming ur face, put very hot water in a bowl and just let the steam hit ur face with a towel over ur head. |

Hmmm, all this home concoctions can be irritating at times.  |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 3:00pm On Sep 14, 2009 |
lol. Well yeah, and smelly. a friend came to visit me yesterday in the middle of one , and i tried avoiding her cause of the smell on me.lol Thank god for options though. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by africhika(f): 4:47pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
gamine, do u think the plantain stuff is more effective than store-bought creams? |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Nobody: 5:50pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
Gamine: Lol.  |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 8:39pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
@Africhika Natural stuff will always be more effective but the thing is, we wont always have access to them, or the time to prepare them, hence the store. i mean like, olive oil. .i dont go looking for olive's to press, i buy what they sell in the bottle. i guess the key is to maintain some balance, and avoid some plenty chemicals. You could check online for stocked (store) creams, oils,lotions which are as natural as possible and also certain chemicals to avoid. |

Thank you. I bought the tee tree oil and olive oil. I just need the dudu osun. hope I see an improvement!! |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 8:12am On Sep 16, 2009 |
hey thats great, also get some shea butter. But be reminded that it all starts within. im currently kinda ill, ive been undernourished trying to start a whole new diet i cant go vegan cos i like chicken alot, but im going to try to make my meal 85% natural foods. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by africhika(f): 10:34pm On Sep 16, 2009 |
omonija, be sure to GO EASY ON THE TEA TREA OIL!!! i love it but can definitely dry out ur skin. use very little and not too often. maybe like 3 times a week. it's a very potent oil. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by dbaby3(f): 3:57am On Sep 18, 2009 |
I would love to chop my hair off,and go au natural cos putting a perm breaks my hair,but am kinda skeptical cos of my petite size. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by omonija1(f): 6:02am On Sep 18, 2009 |
@GAMINE Yes, I have shea butter already. I use that on my skin (not face) and hair as well. Why dont you take some multivitamins? Yea I'm trying. Its hard to eat healthy as a nigerian and a food lover! @africhika, I noticed. That thing strong o, lol and the smell?? omg. Im using it less often now. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by omonija1(f): 6:05am On Sep 18, 2009 |
d-baby: Girl give it a try. Trust me, You'll love it, I'm 5 4'' and about 120 pounds and its beautiful on me plus my hair is very healthy. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 3:24pm On Sep 18, 2009 |
@omonija1 i hate pills, kai! i tried for a while. .but i always drop them, my dad is encouraging me to take some. im looking for something i could mix and drink. @d-baby Your size? i dont think it should be a problem. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by dbaby3(f): 6:33pm On Sep 18, 2009 |
Thanks ladies for the encouragement,am giving this a very serious thought. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by africhika(f): 9:04pm On Sep 19, 2009 |
omonaija, we are the exact same size, 5'4 120lbs. d-baby, don't worry about being petite. your small size will make you look even better with short hair! go for it  |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 9:11pm On Sep 19, 2009 |
Im sure she was thinking about all those models that have it. im not tall too, about 5.6 |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by dbaby3(f): 12:07am On Sep 20, 2009 |
I am 5'5 110lbs. I actually do have a pic of my haircut abt 2yrs ago,it was permed though. When i finally decide to chop it, there will be no perm this time. I will post a pic of how it looked 2yrs ago maybe 2mrw. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by dbaby3(f): 3:52am On Sep 21, 2009 |
Ok ladies,i av uploaded the pic.Pls view my profile. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 4:04am On Sep 21, 2009 |
Seen! you look unsure.lol Short hair fits you already, give it a shot  Besides you can grow your natural hair to be quite long if you dont want the short hair. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by dbaby3(f): 1:42am On Sep 22, 2009 |
Gamine: |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 1:51am On Sep 22, 2009 |
I didnt chop off all my hair , i transitioned, thats an option but i feel like cutting all my hair now |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by dbaby3(f): 2:01am On Sep 22, 2009 |
ok,dont be like me cos am really wanting to cut it all off. How long is ur hair? if its pretty long,do not try to cut it all off cos u av invested so much time into it. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 2:07am On Sep 22, 2009 |
i transitioned from april last year, my hair was totally natural by february this year. the growth is really slow >_< lol.
|
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by dbaby3(f): 2:11am On Sep 22, 2009 |
Wow it looks healthy,and its of good length considering the fact that u transitioned less than a yr ago.Give it time even though the growing process is slow. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 2:18am On Sep 22, 2009 |
i have uneven growth at the back. but im trying to convince myself not to cut it, until it gets to an 'ok' length, where i just trim it all to the same length. But you know what, i have no desire to put in a relaxer, i cant even bear the thought! god no! lol |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by dbaby3(f): 2:32am On Sep 22, 2009 |
Then that will work. I tire for relaxers too. |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by africhika(f): 5:46pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
hey, how do i post a pic? i wanna post a pic of my sisterlocks, but it's not working |
| Re: All About The Au Natural! by Gamine(f): 5:48pm On Sep 22, 2009 |
