For Challenge 5 I was given the task of creating a How to Guide for Creating Hair Coils. 

To achieve the Coils I had to roll my hair on flex rods.  This was the first time I ever used rollers of any kind since going Natural.  I also have never worn my hair in Coils.  The process of Coiling my hair was new to me. I learned a lot about my hair texture through out the process.  For example, a little product goes a long way with my hair.  Too much product causes my hair to become too soft to hold a curl and/or the product will flake in my hair.   **SIGH**

During my photo shoot, I had a turkey in the oven and was in the midst of cleaning the house for my Thanksgiving Dinner guests. I was multi-tasking to the fullest!!  There was no way I was going to be able to take pictures after filling my belly with turkey, sides, and sweet potato pie... :0)

The first challenge was soo much fun! Immediately upon placing the hair pins in my hair I felt regal, I felt like an Egyptian Goddess...

Especially after putting on the dress and makeup.  The location just added to those feelings. I was surrounded by Egyptian hieroglyphic writing and numbering, photos, statutes, and themes.  It was amazing! I felt my ancestors in my bones.  I promise you I did not want to take it off. In fact I rocked that headband all day! LOL  

I did my hair with the mango & lime products prior to the shoot, and my hair is still smelling like fruit and essential oils! I so enjoy the oil that came with our box, my locs have a nice sheen to them and there is no buildup on the scalp.  I will be purchasing it from now on!  The shampoo woke up my scalp, and the tingling sensation was welcomed.  It really got into the shaft of my locs  which very few shampoos can do trust me.  However, I already used up half the bottle! LOL
