Mini Twists

Hey Ya'll

I have to say, I have no idea what i was thinking when i decided to start mini twists on my hair! I've been avoiding protective styles for about 6 weeks now and i'm feeling the pinch from it. So i decided i'm going to go for the ultimate long lasting protective style. THE MINI TWIST

I decided to twist my hair smaller than i have ever done in my life and i wanted to make sure they last at least 3-4 weeks! I washed my hair, detangled and blowdried my hair in 6 large sections. I was not aiming for bone straight just enough to where they can hang.

Here they are!

Bentontie Clay

Hey All, I think i stumbled upon a bit of a mixture my hair likes. I'm not going to get into the benefits of this product but I'm just going to list a few things i like about this product.

I heard a lot about bentontie clay, Rhassoul clay and mud washes online and decided i need to try at least one of them. Well i ended up purchasing 2 of them.
I purchased Tressessentials Mud wash (mint) and Bentonite Clay.

I've used bentonite clay before but only as a facial mask [source: mom] but never considered it as a product for my hair. Well after hearing it does helps reduce Tangles while detangling and also Cleanses the hair, I tried it and i must say... My detangling was down to about 10-15 minutes! I really liked this product and i used the same brand that i posted about recently as a facial mask. Check it out HERE

Edit: Also to add to this Post... i just found a pic of my hair completely wet after a treatment i did less than 1 year ago and i must say i am impressed with the growth of this curly hair of mine!

Large Puff

Hey guys, so here's the 411 - In the last 2 weeks I've had little or no time to take care of my hair. I was in detrimental need of a wash but i had little to no time at all [Long Story Short], while at the gym i washed my hair there and detangled with my conditioner, i applied my leave in and left in a puff. I got home after running a few errands and decided to blow dry my hair!

Side Note - I will never blow dry my hair without the proper preparation treatments.

I didn't do so much with my blow dried hair - i did however make a statement with this Large Puff Below! It was so big i couldn't get a good picture! But i liked it very much - my sisters on the other hand - NOT so much.

If you didn't believe how few/fine my stands are - You can take a gander at this pic below where you can see straight through my puff!

The BUN

Its another Style of the Day!

I haven't done my hair in a bun in quite a while, so i decided to revisit this style and it looked quite sophisticated! I added some pearl earrings to it and it looks spectacular!

I used a pomade and a little bit of eco styler gel to slick my hair back.

Revisiting the BUN!

Princess Jasmine Style

Hey Everyone, I might be a little late on making updates. I'm sorry but there are lots going on in my life right now and i can't wait to share it with you in the future. For now lets just back to the past for a little bit! Here is a style that I recently did. I even got stopped at a restaraunt for a lady to look at my hair and tell me how beautiful it was. That really made my day!

Well here it is ... my Princess Jasmine Style!

I got so many Raves about this style on the CN forums... I hope i inspired someone to try different style with their natural hair!
