The are different ways to style the natural hair

1) Bantu knots
Bantu Knots are very nice and creative, it is done by tying the hair into smaller sizes and then curling it in twits or braids then you hold it down with hair pins or rubber bands.

2)The Big Fro
You can just simply leave your hair after using a comb. you can use a little hair band underneath it to ensure it stays.

This is done after washing the hair, you use some products on the hair to ensure it doesn't look rough then apply some cream and then you are ready to go.

Your Love Is Not Enough
~1.4 mins read
Your Love For Me
Love was just another word,
till the time you came in my life.
your caring touch,
your loving smile,
filled the void and loved me so much,
when my soul, my heart became yours.
When my world was dipped in sorrow,
Your twinkling eyes brightened it up all.
My days were lonely my eyes were wet,
All cheered up with a blink the day we met.
Why the world is turning pink,
Why is the sky showering roses.
Hold me tight, let me not sink,
It is a conspiracy of love,
To bring us together to bring us close.
Whatever be the reason,
I do not wish to know.
Unaffected by any season,
This heart is in the flow,
Of love and happiness.
Filled with sweetness overpowering the sour,
your caring touch,
your loving smile,
when filled the void and loved me so much,
was when my soul, my heart became yours.
I am in Love
You know you are in love,
When your heart skips a beat,
It is a feeling so pure,
A feeling so sweet,
You feel over the moon,
Without any reason,
You get love lost,
With every season,
Love binds two hearts,
It is a promise to keep, a lovely start! 

Your love is not enough
Baby your love is enough to make me smile,
Your love gives me all the gay,
It is like the first sunrays of the day
It is like a shady and windy way,
Your love is enough for my heart
Please never ever go apart
Coz I love you so much!

BENEFITS OF YOUGURT
~27.7 mins read
So, what’s for breakfast? Decisions. Decisions. Hmmm, oatmeal or yogurt? Both will give your body healthy nutritious goodness, but if you want some seriously sumptuous skin, I’d eat the oatmeal and save that creamy yogurt to add to your collection of homemade beauty products for a super moisturizing yogurt face mask (not that oatmeal doesn't have a place in skincare, too!).
Chock full of protein, calcium, vitamin D, and probiotics (the healthy bacteria that aid digestion), there’s no doubt yogurt provides delicious benefits for your insides. But it can also do beauty wonders for your outsides as well, namely for your skin.
Yogurt contains lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, that dissolves dead skin cells. This gentle exfoliation not only helps to create a natural glow and prevent breakouts, but works to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
When topically applied to the skin, a velvety yogurt face mask will help moisturize, fight acne, prevent premature aging, relieve sunburn, and reduce discoloration. It’s an all-around beauty multi-tasker.
Experts agree. Dr. Judith Hellman, NYC Dermatologist and Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Mt. Sinai Hospital, says yogurt helps to rejuvenate and soften the skin. Dr. Hellman recommends applying a yogurt face mask often and liberally after excessive sun exposure to calm skin. It is also an effective treatment for Keratosis pilaris, and may be mixed with honey for more intensive exfoliation.
Licensed Esthetician, Amanda Holdredge of Island Medical Spa SunGate Medical Group, suggests adding a few drops of melaleuca oil to a handful of yogurt to treat sunburn or acne. Take care to avoid eyes, mouth, and other sensitive skin areas when using essential oils. The dairy staple can also help to ward off skin discoloration and premature aging. Holdredge combines the juice of half a lemon with a couple tablespoons of yogurt for a lightening/brightening mask that may be used 2-3 times per week.
Skincando creator and eco-facialist, Sara Damelio, uses local yogurt in her facials for a mildly exfoliating, anti-bacterial, hydrating skin treatment. Sara has shared her fabulous recipe with us.
