Styling your way through the Transition

It seems since you've decided to transitioned your hair styles have become very basic. You have become restricted to the fro and the twist out, perhaps in different variations. Well, guess what, you can give that kinky hair of yours the same love, possibly MORE, than what you'd show it if it was relaxed. Not for one minute should you feel restricted to the same "boring old style". There's something for everyone! Short, long or in between.

Protective styling is definitely an option and a vital part of caring for your natural hair. It can be done on any length and/or curl pattern that can sustain. The styles are endless and not only limited to box braids. Protective styling should be done on at least six inches of strong, healthy hair.

Short Hair Beauties, those that don't require protective styling just yet, if you did the big chop, you are already a step ahead! One, you did what many wouldn't and two that’s fierce in its on right. Play up the big chop by accessorizing. Visiting a museum or any other artsy, eclectic event? Channel it with blocky jewelry, big bangles, vibrant colors! The big chop can also be approached in a more relaxed and/or elegant manner. If you are a natural beauty that has a knack for makeup, on your way to a more formal event, play your up facial feature’s strong points to accentuate your hair. If you have experienced some growth, try coiled styles, add a flower.

Medium and longer length ladies there’s a little more of an array of  styles, simply because you have length, however, that means that you guys serve as length and style inspirations for those who desire it!

Out on the town with the girls, try a retro pinup, its sure to turn heads!

Enjoying dinner later on in the evening with the a special friend, no fret, steal the night with a stunning pompadour, it’ll definitely do the trick. The Best part, it only takes 4 minutes! Another one that's sure to be a hit, is the pincurls, it gives you that nicely defined curl set without the heat and rods.

This is only a few of the many, many styles out there, their variations and your creativity. Please, share your natural styles with us, we’re always looking for inspiration.

Also, remember ladies, regardless of hair length all natural hair styles look their best and are at their healthiest when the hair is healthy. Natural Hair deserves a healthy pant-based hair ritual to reach its maximum potential. Also, please keep the tresses well moisturized, MEGA MOISTURE=NO BREAKAGE!!!

Noyek's Natural Hair Journey- A radiant road

Hello Radiant Ones!


Noyek here! I wanted to stop in a minute and update you on my hair journey, its going rather pleasant. How about yours? In particular, I must say that the switch to Indigofera's real plant-based hair ritual has been one of the best decisions of my life. Not only for my natural hair, but as well for my overall health. It's helped kicked off a chain of positive, overall (mental, spiritual and physical) events. The body, from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet deserve quality ingredients to produce quality results.


Harsh chemicals, and watered down chemicals for that matter cannot be good in any manner. I've started with my hair care. Trust me, your locs, curls, coils and fros deserves the best that's offered. Better hair care equals better results. I have 4C hair, knotted ends used to wreak havoc on my hair. I've noticed less kinks (the bad kind, tangled ends), more definition in my curl pattern, much softer and manageable hair.



Who would had ever thought? I sure didn't! But the beauty of knowledge is: once you learn better, you do better! Am I right or am I right?

Be Radiantly Beautiful,

Noyek

Can beauty, help you Beat the Blues?

Got the blues? From time to time we all feel a little down maybe even outright depressed. After all, life can send you on an emotional roller coaster. Heartaches, disappointments and obstacles can get the best of us sometimes. The blues are bound to set in at some point in our lives. Now the question is how do we shake it off, and get back to living?





I asked myself, can beauty help you beat the blues? Let’s think about it. I have been known to preach, “beauty from the inside out.” But what about the other way around. Can a fresh do and new lip gloss put a pep in your step? I would say, it is worth a try. When we feel down, we can begin to neglect our beauty routines, skip salon appointments, let those brows get bushy and not to mention the past due pedicure.


Ladies, if you can’t muster up the strength for a full beauty makeover. Just take baby steps. Here are six ways to beat the blues with beauty rituals. Try them and get your swag back!


1. Pump up the tunes and take a shower, with bursts of cool water. Exfoliate with your favorite body scrub for a spa like softness in minutes.




2. Cleanse your hair with a shampoo that will speak to your senses. Indigofera’s Aromatic Hair Cleanser is infused with essential oils of lavender, ylang ylang, lemon, lime and orange. Next, moisturize those tresses. Pull your hair up in a cute updo and clip in a fab accessory. Instant glam!


3. Put a herbal tea bag in a pretty ceramic bowl and soak your fingertips. Do a quick file shaping and paint them shade that says “I am All Woman.” I like "Pinking up the Pieces by Essie.




4. If nothing else, get those brows back in shape. You should be able to book a same day spa session for a brow wax and feel like a queen without breaking the bank. Just being in a tranquil atmosphere where all the focus in on you will lift your spirits.



5. Boost your confidence with a diy tooth whitener press your toothbrush in natural baking soda (right on top of your toothpaste) Line your lips and apply a sexy new shade of lipgloss. Did you forget that you were fine?


6. Glow Girl! Pull out that bronzer and highlight those lovely cheekbones, it will remind you to smile.






Be Radiantly Beautiful,

Finally be free of Dry Scalp! Natural Hair Care Video




Question: I used to have really healthy, hair and scalp, but in the last three years and since I stopped relaxing it and converted to natural hair, my scalp has become very dry and flaky. What can I use to restore a healthy scalp?





Answer: Recently I have been receiving more and more inquiries concering scalp problems, dandruff and embarrassing flakes. I have overcome this problem myself, so I am happy to offer you some hope. A healthy scalp is the very foundation of healthy hair. I have served hundreds of clients with all hair types. You can achieve optimal hair moisture enjoy beautiful natural styles. Unfortunately many brands are not committed to formulating natural hair products with premium plant based ingredients. Or to save money other companies use traces of "Shea Butter, Coconut or Olive" for the sake of the label and profits. Inferior ingredients yield inferior results (dry scalp, dandruff and lifeless hair.) My products for truely the gold standard
in plant based beauty. My client testimonials rave about real result an exceptional quality.



"The hair care ritual set is the best product I have used on my hair. It is ALL NATURAL. That was the most important thing. It smells SO GOOD. When I take to the salon, people ask what I am using on my hair. I love it. It keeps my hair soft. I HAVE NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE PROUCTS. If anyone out there is thinking about buying the RITUAL SET, DO IT!!!! You will not be disappointed!"

Indigofera Sacred Aromatherapy Bath Soak




Indigofera Sacred Aromatherapy Bath Soak

Palmarosa essential oil 4 drops

Lavender essential oil 12 drops

Geranium essential oil 4 drops

Ylang Ylang essential oil 2 drops

Sweet Orange essential oil 3 drops

Dead Sea Salt Sea Salt 2 3/4 c

Baking Soda 1/4 c

a handful of mixed dried botanical or herbs

Lavender buds

Rose Petals

Calendula

For moisturizing bath add two tablespoons of your favorite plant based carrier oil. My favorite is sweet almond oil

Sacred Aromatherapy Bath Soak



Ingredients:

  • 3 cups Dead Sea salt, regular sea salt or Epsom salt, or a blend of two or three of these salts. Sea salts typically come in several grain sizes. Combining multiple grain sizes can make your salts more appealing. Keep in mind, however, that more course grains do take longer to dissolve in the tub.
  • 15-24 drops of your selected essential oil or essential oil blend. Be sure and take heed in the safety data for the oil(s) you choose to use.
  • 1 tablespoon sweet almond or olive oil


Directions:

Place the salt mixture into a bowl. In a separate small bowl or bottle mix vegetable oil and the drops of your chosen essential oils. Next add it to the plain salts and mix well plastic spoon. Add the mixture to a pretty jar, decorate with raffia and dried eucalyptus. Salts that are kept in a container that is not air tight will lose their aroma more quickly.

After a day, you may wish to mix well again to ensure that the oils are well incorporated.

To Color to Your Salts:

For the most natural bath salt recipe, leave your bath salts uncolored. Certain exotic salts including Hawaiian Red Sea salt and Black Sea Pink salt are naturally colorful. Try mixing these salts with with Dead Sea or plain sea salt for a speckled effect.

If you would like to add color to your salts, mica powder can be added before you add the essential oils. When adding mica powder, only add a tiny amount (1/16-1/8 a teaspoon is usually sufficient) and stir very well. Using too much dye or mica powder can discolor the water and discolor skin, so be very careful. Leave bath salts at a soft pastel color.

To Use:

Add 1/2-1 cup of the salts to running bath water. Mix well to ensure that the salt has dispersed well in the tub before entering. To keep the essential oils from evaporating too quickly, you can add the bath salts just before getting in the tub instead of while the water is running. Sitting on undissolved chunky bath salts, however, can be uncomfortable, so make sure the salts have dissolved well before entering.
