Here is a video explaining what I use in my leave-in conditioner recipe:
It is a modified version of Kimmaytube's leave-in recipe that I have been using for over 10 months now with very consistent results so I want to thank Kim for sharing her recipe with us.
Here is the link to her recipe video:

What I use in my recipe is:
2 tablespoons of Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-in Conditioner
2 tablespoons of Aloe Vera Juice
2 teaspoons of Jojoba Oil
1 teaspoon of Castor Oil
1 teaspoon of Coconut Oil
I make a batch of this to last the entire week between my daughter and I. It has to be refrigerated because of the aloe vera juice. I apply this to my wet hair twice a week: right after my hair has been washed and conditioned and mid-week.
Over THREE (3) FEET of Hair????
I sat down and thought about how long my hair could have been if I took proper care of it from the very first moment I put those scissors down after chopping off all my relaxed hair 7 years ago.
My hair grows on average 6 inches a year (0.5 inches a month). So 6 inches times 7 years would equal to
Crazy right?! That comes to around mid-thigh on me.
My longest strand on my head is around 18 inches. That means that about 2 feet of my hair has either been cut or broken off my head in 7 years.
Granted, I don't want 42 inches of hair on my head, that would be WAY too much hair for me to manage. But it is just amazing how much hair I could have had if I kept it healthy, wasn't scissor happy at times through the years, and never had damaged ends.
Well I thought I was just share this with you as I celebrate 7 years of being natural. On to year number 8 and 6 inches of HEALTHY hair growth and retention! :)

That is even crazier!

New Earrings!
I made two pair of earrings today. I posted one up today:
Here are the second pair:
I am not feeling the background for these pair of earrings so I might retake pictures of these tomorrow. OR I might just go ahead and list them tonight and update the pictures tomorrow. I am not sure why the pictures are oriented this way when I upload them to the post.
I just ordered some LOVELY beads today so I can wait to get them in my mailbox in the upcoming week or two. My earring display cards should be coming in the mail real soon. Can't wait for all these goodies!
