A few weeks back, I visited my gym's steam room. I purposefully chose to stay in for only a few seconds. When I stepped out, I felt my skin. It was dripping with moisture and felt revived. At that moment, I knew what I needed to do.
My next course of action was to head on over to Amazon and pick up small humidifier. I could no longer live in a low humidity environment. Within days, a portable unit arrived. This unit can be plugged into a USB so I have it going while I work. I also plan to take it with me on long plane rides. Although the humidifier is small, I felt the benefits on night one. My skin wasn't as itchy and sleep was more comfortable overall.
But then I was like, "I wonder if humidifiers can also benefit the hair?" Off I went into the land of the internet to find answers. What I discovered was several accounts of people who boasted of wonderful skin, hair, and scalp benefits after using a humidifier on a nightly basis.
Here's an excerpt from Trisha's blog post after purchasing her humidifier:
"Honestly, I’m obsessed with this thing! My friend said that she used humidifiers as a kid when she was sick. But for me, this is my new secret (or not so secret because I’m sharing it here) beauty weapon."
Why is it her secret beauty weapon? Because her hair and face seemed to be infused with added moisture, thanks to her humidifier.
My plan is to purchase a larger unit to experiment with how best to impact the hair. I'm thinking that I should also run the humidifier during the day while I'm working (since my hair will be under a scarf at night). If any of you work in an office environment, a portable humidifier might be just what you need.
Although we're sound asleep, our body is hard at work repairing and rebuilding. I suspect that added moisture in the air can really contribute to the repairing process. I don't know about you, but the idea of waking up to hydrated skin and hair without having made any additional effort sounds like a dream come true.

Before I heard about this project I have to admit, I did not always connect the dots about how much of an impact our hair had on our lives until I became natural. When you are faced with that moment when you are no longer perming your hair and you have no idea what your 
Have you been loving the bob styles we have been posting on social media? Honestly the urge to cut my hair into a sleek no-nonsense bob comes almost weekly with some of the styles that I see on social media but at the same time, I do not want to cut my hair just yet 
One of my favorite parts of being a natural is getting into the kitchen and trying new concoctions I’ve either read or heard about and want to try for myself. Treatments, such as conditioners, are within my top choices of hair aids to make for myself. Nothing beats knowing exactly what you are putting onto 
Yes, it’s peppermint essential oil! I am unashamed to say that I have a unequivocal love for anything peppermint. At 5 years old it was the pretty dangling candy from the tree at Christmas time, and at 15 it was a little blue peppermint candy that I would slip in my purse just in case
