Something about the Rae’s…

Posted on: 11th January 2013 by CFYH

Hey ladies!

Now I’m sure you read the title and thought huh? – if you know my name it’ll make more sense lol!

But as some of you may know Raye is my friend in my head (lol) and what I’d like to call the Queen of lipstains and lipsticks.

Now I don’t know about you, but I’m so in love with her recent shoot, her hair looks luscious!

Guest Post with Brittany

Posted on: 5th January 2013 by CFYH

Today’s guest post features the lovely Brittany of Kyss My Hair. I love her blog & as a result you may have noticed her featured on the facebook page a few times too.

Speaking to Brittany, she said she wouldn’t mind sharing one of her most popular posts over on CFYH.

This post is great because it will give those of you ladies with braids or twists some style ideas.

Styles for Twists and Braids:

So I finally created a video for ways to style kinky/Senegalese twists. I have a rule that I’m not allowed to do anything for kyssmyhair or msbrittanybass during the school week in order to focus all my energy on my school work #senioryear. Anywho, I recorded 8 styles. I really hope you like! Thanks for reading and love you for watching.

Day 6: Sponsored by Naturally Simple Hair Care

Information about the brand:

Motto: Simple, natural haircare

Mission: To provide a simple, natural hair care routine for natural afro hair.
Simply Natural, is a 3-step hair care routine based on one essential factor – MOISTURE. No matter how loose or kinky your natural hair is, moisture is the key to growing and maintaining healthy hair. The Simply Natural product range is based on the following 3 steps:

1 – Moisturise the scalp & stimulate growth
2 – Moisturise the hair itself
3 – Seal in the moisture

“I personally make everything by hand. For me, this is more than just a product – it is a labour of love and I am pleased to be able to share it with so many people!” – Merissa (Founder)

Naturally Simple Haircare first came into existence in 2009. After suffering hair loss following the birth of her first son, Merissa Hamilton started on a mission to learn about natural ingredients that could be used to treat hair loss. Merissa has always been interested in making her own hair and beauty products and had been doing so for friends and family for a number of years.

After a long period of research, experimentation and trial and error, Merissa came up with a combination of ingredients and products which she found worked really well to promote growth and moisturize her hair.

“I was really excited when my hair started growing back – especially my edges, which had suffered the most.”

Using the Simply Natural 3-step routine, as well as drinking PLENTY of water, can help to manage and maintain natural hair with as little fuss as possible. We like to keep things simple!

The 3-step haircare set:

The Naturally Simple 3-step set consists of 3 products which have been specifically formulated to work best together. Our customers have found that using all 3 products together in their hair care regimen has helped them to maintain soft, moisturised and healthy hair, whether it be on natural, relaxed or chemically coloured hair.

The entire range is 100% natural, handmade and free from Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), Parabens, Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, Alcohol and Silicones.
