Do You Want the Fluff?

An easy way to make a blow-out last?

Day one: Looks amazing!

Day seven: Not so much. Solution? Spritz a little leave-in conditioner, coconut oil and shea butter onto your ends and make 6 chunky twists throughout your hair (depending on the length) and VOILA! My hair was so soft and bouncy with this method!

How do you make your twist-outs last?

FRO-day the 13th

1st Protective Style of 2012

Yay! First PS of the new year!

Day one: Woke up. Was bored. Decided to 2-strand twist my hair and flat twist in the front

Day four: Woke up. Decided I want to wash my hair so here are the results of my twist-out

Life can be so random.

Twist-out on Bantu Knot-out

So I went to my friend's graduation yesterday and so many people asked me how I achieved my look!

It was quite simple actually. I re-did my bantu knot out (from a previous post) except this time I did it when my hair was wet. Then the next day, I flat twisted my hair (dry) and took it out the morning of graduation!

Lots of coconut oil helped it not to look dry. Thoughts?

some natural styles for you :)

Fighting Temptations

SO tempted to straighten my hair for my birthday.

I DON'T want an updo or a twistout. Any other PS options?

WTF Day #1

After I took off my beach hair (lol),I had no clue what to do with my hair. Last night I tried to do a chunky twist out on my dry hair...but let's just say that it didn't work out too well. So this morning I just created a random, and in my opinion - slightly messy- hairstyle. But I plan to be able to untwist the front and be able to put Ms. Goldfinger over the back.

p.s. if you're wondering why I named her Ms. Goldfinger, someone over the weekend said she looked like Beyonce in the Austin Powers movie :)

Day One

So I've decided to take part in Alex's Protective Style Challenge. This blog will serve as a place to document frustrations, slip-ups, protective styles - whatever. So let's get to it!

Yesterday I took out my kinky twists and now my twist out looks amazing! However I know it won't last all week. I haven't even washed my hair since I put them in on July 3rd! (way overdue, I know). Currently I have between 8.25 and 8.5 inches of length.. will probably give myself a light trim on Thursday when I wash it...

Anywho I went to the beauty supply store around the corner today. The fact that it was brand new should have been a warning. It was a little pricey and the "customer service" representative seemed like she didn't want to be there, but I did get this wig for about 17 bucks (20% off). Looks natural right?
