Hair Care Blues: Busy & Budget✨

 




Hey Curlies,✨

    Welcome back to Natural Divinity Products Blogspot! I know it's been awhile since I posted a blog. Life as you may know has been a whirlwind. The daily grind and the infamous hustle has left me on repeat. In the U.S. the economy has driven many people including myself to question what is needed and what is wanted. I can only be optimistic and hope that my hard work and efforts can lead me to calmer waters. Just continue to shows others compassion and grace this time of the year. Everyone is going through something and kindness is always contagious.😌 I named this blog Hair Care Blues: Busy & Budget because fall/winter are the seasons where your natural hair may be tested. Busy people need quick and budget friendly styles to get through the week. Remember simplicity is still effort and enjoy tonight's blog.



Hair Care Blues

    I know your hair is definitely tested during the cold and windy seasons. Trust me I've been feeling it too! High buns and ponytails have been my go to, however I'm ready to try some long term natural hairstyles. You may notice your natural hair is now more dry, brittle, or damaged. You may even experience shedding and breakage. Don't worry as long as you maintain your hairstyles and keep your winter hair care regimens you'll end up fine. My Tea's Collection which has a deep conditioner and oil serum helps lock in moisture and hydrates your curls. I have been able to maintain growth and edges. Please note winter hair blues hit Black natural hair differently. Cold air outside, dry heat inside, and heavy fabrics rubbing against our strands can leave curls feeling brittle, dull, and hard to manage. Moisture disappears faster, protective styles can start to feel restrictive, and shrinkage seems louder in the winter months. Wash days feel longer, detangling takes more patience, and the joy of defined coils can feel buried under dryness and breakage. Still, winter is not a failure season for natural hair—it’s a reminder to slow down, listen to what your hair needs, and offer extra care, softness, and grace while your crown rests and restores. 

Busy & Budget🎄

Here are some easy, budget-friendly winter hairstyles for natural Black hair that keeps your hair protected and low-maintenance when you’re busy managing life.


🌟 Protective braids & twists – Simple two-strand twists, flat twists, or DIY braid styles like cornrows keep your ends tucked away and reduce daily manipulation. These can last for weeks with basic moisturizing. 

🌟 Knotless or box braids – Lightweight and versatile, they protect your hair from dry winter air and can be styled up or down without needing heat. 

🌟 Bantu knots – Twist your hair into small knots for a cute, protective style that also helps retain moisture. You can wear them as is or unravel later for defined curls. 

🌟 High puffs or afro puffs – Quick and chic, puffs are perfect on rushed mornings and go well with scarves or hats. 

🌟 Half-up, half-down styles – Cornrows or twists on top with your natural curls out make a quick, pretty look that’s easy to refresh. 

🌟 Headwraps & scarves – Not technically a hairstyle, but wrapping your hair in a satin/silk scarf protects it from cold, reduces frizz, and gives you a polished look with minimal effort. (Celeb winter headscarf trend too!) 


💡 Extra tips: Moisturize daily with a water-based spray and seal with oil/cream before bed; use satin/silk at night to prevent breakage; and choose styles you can DIY to save money. These looks help your hair stay healthy all winter without breaking the bank.

  Hey Curlies,✨ I hope you all have been hanging in there. We are now in the 2nd quarter of 2025. I am hoping 2025 continues to be good for all of us. Spring is officially here! I am getting used to warmer days even though my allergies are unpredictable. When I think of spring time I think of the return of life! Plants start to bloom, animals procreate, and old bugs come back to taunt us. The return of life also creates a rebirth mindset for most of us. This blog post is Rebirth: A Better Version. I want you all to know we are all trying to work on a better version so you are not alone. Here are three things I have learned on how to prepare for a better version of myself and my reality. ONE-Plan Execute Move in Silence:  Not everyone needs to know your business. HUSH...all company you share your business with is not all good company. Set goals on becoming the new version of yourself. It will take time but this new version will be powerful than before. Plan your intentions and ...

Technology and Mental Health

  Hey Curlies,✨ I hope you all had a productive week. This week is very steady for me and challenging with ongoing demands. This week's blog post I wanted to talk about technology and mental health. I know there are so many articles about how bad technology is for your mental health. I want to talk about the good and bad. Since my Facebook account was hacked in 2023 I have had less Facebook friends. It has also been nearly impossible to keep track of old clients. This has left a little hardship on me as a business owner and my personal life. The good I have noticed is I have lessen some of my death scrolling and internet use. When I use less technology I noticed my mental health improves. I am able to look more within and understand my emotions. Now let's get into Technology and Mental Health. Technology and Mental Health. Are you really in control of your emotions. Ai is very popular around the world wide web and almost everyone utilizes it. I have noticed Snapchat and other a...
