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

Wigs: Sensationnel Bump Collection

The Hair:  One box of Sensationnel Bump Collection 8" Feather in color #1

Since I ran out of hair AND kind of misplaced the closure that came with the hair, I had to use some hair from my stash to finish the top. The hair is okay and works well for the price. I don't think I would use it for a sew-in weave.

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...

Sew-In Weave

Here are a few pics of my last sew-in. I kept it in for around four weeks. This time I used deluxe weaving net. I also went shorter than usual with 10 & 12 inches.

This is the net.

I complain about this hair but always use it.

This is what the net looks like. I did have to cut it.

I know I look mean...but this is my "Sexy Pose". ;)

The hair curls nicely...but you will have to clean out your sink and sweep the floor once you're done.
