Courtney Natural Hair posted this week’s regimen to strengthen the hair and add shine while decreasing shedding.  Sometimes her updates are very confusing, so bare with me. I’m going to break this down as best as I can.

Things you will need this week:

Black Strap Molasses Treatment

Start the week off with a black strap molasses treatment. Do this in the day time on dry hair. If your hair is really short you shouldn’t have to dilute the molasses, but if your hair is longer you may have to add water. It’s very messy. Cover with a plastic cap. Put on an old shirt because it’s so messy.  Leave molasses in hair for 1-2 hours, and co-wash it really really really well. Style as usual. Co-wash 2 more times this week.

Scalp Treatment

Take dropper bottle and fill it up half way with jojoba oil, add 5 drops of peppermint essential oil, 5 drops of basil essential oil, and 1/2 dropper of liquid vitamin A, D and E. Fill the rest of the container with castor oil. Shake very well. Using your dropper, squeeze a few drops throughout your scalp and massage it in for at least 1-2 minutes. Do this 3 times this week.

Glycerin Mix

Vegetable glycerin & water spray bottle mix: add about 10 drops of basil and add about 1 table spoon kinky curly knot today mix well. This can be used for your baggy method. After spraying apply your favorite oil. Do the baggy method at least twice this week.

Unfortunately I have already washed my hair for the week. I’m going to try the above during my next wash day. I will update you here on my results.

If you still haven’t ordered your supplies, you can order them from Vitacost.

Did you guys try Courtney’s Protein Deep Conditioner I posted last week? How were your results?

This season was my first time shopping for clothes in Kmart. I only stumbled across how great their clothes looked recently when I was headed to a birthday party. The subway stop I had to get off at was right on Kmart’s doorsteps. I only went inside because I had to use the restroom. But I saw how cute their clothes were when I was on my way to the restroom.  I couldn’t stop and shop right then and there because I didn’t have time. Unfortunately, I can’t just grab things and purchase anymore. I have to try my clothes on now. Those days are gone now. So I made it a point to come back to that exact Kmart and shop because it was so clean and organized.

Trying on clothes at Kmart.

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Kmart Fall Fashion preview. Although I can’t show you any pictures yet (I was sworn to secrecy), I can say that their fall line is fire! Kmart wasn’t afraid to use bold colors and prints for the fall season. The color combinations of the prints compliment each other well. The Kmart designers really paid attention to the details and construction of the garments. You will really be impressed with what they have produced for their fall line. I know I was impressed.

I actually wore the Kmart’s Attention Women’s Striped Knit Belted Dress to the event. It’s currently on sale for $13.99.

Have you been in a Kmart lately to shop for clothing? Will you be checking out their fall line?

I’m sad that Stacey Dash will no longer be on Single Ladies, but I’m happy its returning. Staceys character will be replaced by Denise Vasi from All My Children. Vasi will play Raquel a friend of Keishas. Well at least they didnt keep Staceys character and swap out actresses. Remember when they did that with the Darrins on Bewitched and Lionel on Goodtimes? I always liked the original characters.

Season 2 of Single Ladies returns May 28th, Memorial Day weekend.

Are you excited about the return of Single Ladies? Or are you more into reality shows?

Check out the preview for Season 2 below:

I’m pleased to announce yet another natural hair meetup.  Yes. I know. Not another one.  But this one has a little twist. It’s a meetup for parents and their children where they will learn how to manage and care for their child’s hair. If you follow my blog, you know that I go to the Hair Rules Salon to get my hair styled and cut by Dickey.  I have blogged about it before here and here. I have been a client for about 5 years.  The salon is a posh and I guarantee that Dickey along with his stylists will take good care of you guys.

RSVP soon because slots fill up fast.
