Starting Anew!

Big Chop 1/21/2011

On January 21, 2011, I was looking in the mirror at my hair and on the phone with my BFF Sharnia and telling her I wanted to cut all my hair off!!  The day before I had hennaed my hair and did a deep conditioning avocado mask and attempted to do a satin braid out that my other friend Marci had posted on the Koils by Nature FanPage!  When I took out the satin braid out I looked at my hair and was so disgusted!! My hair was growing so beautifully but the color patch that I got a few months back was breaking off so bad and it was about a 3-inch difference!  I felt that there was no way my hair would grow back healthy!  I was suppose to get my hair in Nubian twist by Ms Jameesha Moore the following day, but I could not get my hair braided knowing I had sever color damage!  So while talking to Sharnia, I started cutting my hair…I said “no turning back now!”  I went scissor happy and then went to the barbershop to get my hair shaped!  I’ve had color in my hair before, relaxed and natural but this bleaching job was a bit much for my hair!  I would color my hair again, but I would never bleach it!

I am really enjoying my new cut and I love the fact that I can use Koils by Nature from the root to the ends and I can really document my hair growth; I also know HOW to truly take care of my hair!  When I did my big chop in Sept 07, (way before KBN) I was using Black Gel…and water!!  I didn’t know how to care for my TWA!  Now I can start right!!   I am so excited…all the men in my life love it and my baby boy Kendall asked if my hair was, magic…LOL!

Here are so pictures of my hair before my color, with my fab color and the new me!!

I loved the color here too....but my hair didn't!!

Hand mixer or blender for easy rinsing!!

Double the recipe for longer hair

Henna 3/25/2011

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday, I woke up as I always do @ 0630 took my oldest son to school, came home fed my youngest son breakfast and took him to school; I got home looking at the number of orders that I had to package and ship out; took a deep breath sat down at my computer, checked my email, updated the Koils by Nature Fanpage on FB & Twitter and for one moment, I thought to myself, “do I need to get a “real job” is this what I am suppose to be doing with my life?”  Now I do not have these thoughts often, but when I do….HE knows how to reassure me!  As soon as that thought came into my mind, my Koils by Nature line rang, I answered, “Good morning this is Pamela!” and the person on the, other end was stumbling over her words, and I said “Hello!” and she said, “is this Pamela Jenkins? The owner of Koils by Nature?”  I laughed a little and said ‘ Yes it is, how may I help you?”; she was taken aback that I answered the phone… she called to check on the status of her order, she was so excited about getting her products.  I informed her that her products would be mailed today and then we started to talk….about everything for an hour and forty-five minutes!!! She told me that she LOVED Koils by Nature and what it has done for her!  I knew this was God, He sent her to me to reassure me and my faith in what He has called me to do!  I feel truly blessed when my customers email me, hit me up on FB and call me to let me know how much they LOVE KBN!  I put love in everything that I do when it comes to KBN and I so bless that you all trust me with your hair and allow me to provide you with wonderful & affordable  natural products!

I am so thankful and grateful for each and every one of you!

Especially you Maly, thank you for the wonderful conversation today!  Thank you Sharnia,  Nef, Marci, Gaye, Devorah, Tamara Wright, Nakeisha, Ayana (iHeartmyHair), Kizzy (Rockin My TWA) for being a SuperDuper Koils by Nature supporter!  I appreciate you all so much!

Love, peace, & blessings

Pamela
