Is Batana Oil Another Name for Red Palm Oil?

I put up a post this past Saturday talking about oils. I listed batana oil as one of the oils I wanted to try. I first learned of batana oil on Long Hair Care Forum and have been on the hunt for some since. Batana oil is used in Ojon products and Ojon employs the Miskito Indians, who are indigenious to Honduras, to produce the oil for their products. A member on the forum was saying that they have almost a monopoly on the oil and that it's hard to find but that it's so good. Batana oil is said to give the hair great shine, smoothes and softens hair, protect it from the hot sun and even helps strengthen it some. One of our fly readers, SummerRuby, dropped by and shared on that post that batana oil is another name for (red) palm oil. Werd? When I read that, I knew I had to get my research on to see if she was for real. After doing my research, I found that this may just be true. Batana oil is what Hondurans call it. The oil is extracted from pine nuts that grow on the Ojon

Join Our Waist Length Hair in 2 Years Challenge

Waist Length in 2 Years Challenge Guidelines * End date to reach waist length is April 5th, 2012 * For this to be a feasible goal for you, it's best that your starting length is at least shoulder length stretched (and that from there you have about 12 in or less till you hit WL) * Don't think you'll make WL in 2 years and still want to join? You can still join :D Just state what your goal length will be. * Share your plan of action to attain this goal (it doesn't have to be set in stone or "permanent" as I'm sure some things may change as your hair gets longer) * Progress updates will be submitted and posted every 4 months (starting from this April) so first update will be in August. * Progress updates will entail a length check pic (can be a straightened or stretched hair shot) and brief summary of what you are doing/trying and what you are learning. Leave a comment to join. For those who want to, email me at milan@agrlcanmac

AGrlCanTravel: Johannesburg, South Africa

{ Image Source } I want to go to Jo-Burg next year! I haven't shared much about my travels on here but I am going to start talking about traveling more. I want to encourage brown people to get out there and see as much of the world as they possibly can. Not only is it totally fun and memorable, it just does something to you to see different places than your own. It's a totally enriching experience. I'm fortunate that my parents love to travel and exposed me and my sisters to it since we were born. I've been to London, Paris, islands in the Caribbean, Canada and many states here in the US. Since starting work again in 2010 after 2 years of being unemployed, my traveling slowed down tremendously but I've decided I want to travel somewhere cool at least once a year. I love experiencing new things and learning about different cultures, history, etc that traveling exposes you to. {Image Source } My mother was asked to make a quilt for Nelson Mandela and it
