Natural Hair: Twist Out using As I Am Twist Defining Cream

I've been looking for the perfect product to twist my hair with. I wanted something that would provide moisture AND hold without making my hair hard.  Since I've heard great things about As I Am Twist Defining Cream, I decided to give it a go. I purchased a 16 oz. jar from Sally's for $21.99. I later discovered Wal-mart has the 8oz. jars for under $10. Smh...

Initially, I was not too crazy about the smell and after twisting my hair for awhile, my hands became very sticking.  The results were great, though.  My hair remained soft for days and the cream provided a nice hold, which kept my twists frizz free. My hair also had a nice sheen, which I loved. My twist out had great definition..no flakes.

Bottom line...I really like this stuff, even if I dislike the smell. Lol

Natural Hair: Motions Color Refresher & Conditioner

I dyed my hair last month and the color did not come out as light as I had hoped. On top of that, the color had gotten dull. I decided to try Motions Color Refresh & Conditioner. I purchased it from a local beauty supply store for $2.99. I was very pleased with the results.

Another Round of Twists

I twisted my hair last weekend and was able to keep them in for exactly one week. YAY ME!! For me, that's great. After about three to four days I'm rocking a twistout. I kept them pinned up. Every few days I would take them down to add a little moisture. Here are a few pics...

Natural Hair: In Need of a Little Spice...(hair color)

This makes the third time I have colored my hair since I have been natural.  I am too chicken to do my entire head...so I just dye my crown.  It never seems to turn out as bright as I would like...but I am pleased with the results.
