Natural Hair: First Blowout & Trim


Since becoming a Natural Diva, a dear friend of mine hooked me up with my first trim. I was so nervous! I have to admit, it was not as painful as I thought it would be. Even though, she had to cut a good amount off, my hair feels so much better.

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.

Today's Hair: Second Day Co-wash

Today was a great hair day. Since my twistout lasted all of two days, I co-washed my hair yesterday morning. This morning, I simply applied some oil to my hair before pinning the sides up with combs.

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: Two Stand Twist Up Do




Since it's been too hot for me to rock a wig or weave and I have not been in the mood to style my hair daily, I decided to twist my hair and pin it up.

Natural Hair: (Not So)Mini Twists...Round Two


Last week I did another set of twists.  I was very happy with the results. 

What I did this time...
~I made the twists a lot smaller.  It took me over four hours to finish.
~I originally had cornrows in the front.  They were looking a little crazy...so I took those out a couple of days later.  =/
~I kept the twists in for around five days.


What I will do next time...
~My twistout lasted only two days.  Next time I will use some type of twisting gel/cream. 
~I am going to try to keep them in for longer that a week.


Here are a few pics....


  
With cornrows...I should have made them smaller.


A couple of  days later once cornrows were removed.





















Twistout...Day 1
(My bestie made the flower...ain't it cute!?!?)









I know I have said this before...but this was the best twistout ever!!

Natural Hair: New & Improved way to create my puffs!

For a couple of weeks now, I have been using the elastic from one of my old wig caps.  Yeah, I know this sounds a little hood...but it works.  I don't know what made me try it out to see if it would, I am just glad it did.  =)

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.  


Product used...

Being silly...

Natural Hair: Weave Free!!!

I really missed my hair after being weaved up for over a month.  I shampooed, deep conditioned & twisted my hair while wet.
