2024 was definitely one for the books

The year isn’t over yet and despite the hell, despite the lessons taught. Despite the ups and the many downs…one of my victories has been conquering my curly hair. If there’s a product for curly hair, I’ve probably tried it over the years. I’ve cut it off, taken vitamins and broken multiple combs. I’ve screamed at it, cried in frustration. But this year..I figured out the secret sauce. The products help, but the biggest recipe to the sauce..is me.

Accepting it, loving it and being patient with it….and then having the right products that work with your curl type. It’s like cooking, best ingredients for the best result.

... Read moreCurly hair can be a source of frustration for many, but it’s important to remember that there’s a journey involved in embracing your natural texture. This year, many are discovering the significance of finding products tailored to their specific curl types, from moisturizing creams to defining gels. Factors such as humidity can also affect curl patterns, making it essential to adjust your routine accordingly. Additionally, incorporating a healthy hair care regimen, including regular trims and protective styles, can further enhance hair health and manageability. Educating yourself about the different curl categories—from Type 2 waves to Type 4 coily textures—can provide valuable insights for customizing your hair care routine. Building a supportive community can also be instrumental in sharing tips, tricks, and product recommendations to navigate your curly hair journey successfully. Remember, every curl is unique, and with the right knowledge and positivity, you can make 2024 the year of fabulous and confident curls!

Two books by Laura Nowlin are displayed on a textured surface. The left book, 'Only I Had Told Her,' features a rose on its light purple cover. The right book, 'If He Had Been With Me,' has two lollipops on its dark cover. A text overlay reads 'Self-help book recommendations.'
So these definitely aren’t self help books.
But I think I might need some self help books after reading these two books. I don’t know which one destroyed me more. I was sobbing at work with the first one but my heart hurt with the second. #selfhelpbooks #lemon8challenge #selfhelp
