The natives of Los Cabos were quite fascinated by my hair. I received many compliments and got at least 5 requests a day to touch my hair.
Here are some random hair shots during my vacation. Towards the end it did get... a bit out of control lol, but DON'T CARE!!! I did moisten & retwist one of the days, but other than that, I did nothing to it asides from a morning conditioner rub & fluff it out.

Los Cabos is just beautiful! The weather was perfect my entire stay; perfect temperature, not one drop of rain, 0% humidity, sunny, Pacific breezes. We actually stayed in Cabo San Lucas at the Riu Palace. This is the view from my hotel room balcony.

Los Cabos Vacation Hair
I am here in Los Cabos & it is just so beautiful! The weather is just perfect!
It was hard deciding what to bring for hair maintenance, but I decided to pack Castor oil, Devacurl Set It Free, an ORS condition pack & some suave conditioner. I did a wet twistout with Devacurl Set It Free 2 days before leaving and wore my half-cap until after I arrived as my hair was still wet....
Here are my Day One results:

Vacation Hair Questions?
This month, I am going to Los Cabos with DH for vacation....I am so excited!! Beach, sun, ocean breeze & a comfortable chaise!! My only concern is what to take for my hair as this is my first trip out of the country since I have been natural. I am also planning daily sauna trips!
Any suggestions on what you think is essential that I will not be able to purchase locally?
I am of course taking poo, Castor oil, an ORS pack, BWC leave in, silk scarf, my denman & some big accessories...anything else?

Organic Blood Orange Juice!!!
About 2 years ago, I chanced upon a bottle of organic blood orange juice at Trader's Joes and loved it! I drank it straight, made martinis with it and made a syrup perfect for pouring over ice cream. But alas, this love was not meant to last, or so it seemed, as TJ's stopped carrying it. I looked at every other retailer in the area, but no blood orange juice....except on Amazon with $13 shipping.
Today while perusing the new Home Goods Store that opened in my area, there on the shelf were several bottles of my precious :

Chunkier Twists
This week I decided to try slightly bigger twists to see how my hair would turn out. Where I usually do 4 twists on each quarter, I did 3 twists on each quarter instead. I did everything else the same:
- shampooed & DC with heat
- BWC for leave-in
- sealed with castor oil
- blowdried each quarter
- separated in three sections
- spritzed with Devacurl Set It Free & twisted

85 Degrees Today!
So it was so beautiful today!! At 8am this morning, it was already a perfect day, about 72, sunny & breezy...perfect for sitting outside, sipping on my morning brew and contemplating life.
This past week, I had blowdried my hair & twisted with DevaCurl Set It Free on Sunday, but Monday was so humid, I didn't even take it down because I knew it was just be frizz capital. I decided to just wear my old stand by half cap; it has been many months since I last wore one. Anyways, one day wearing the half cap turned into the entire week, not really sure what happened there LOL.
I finally took it down today...it was kind of frizzy, but I could care less today!
