I took this picture in the summer after I did a braid out and really loved the definition of my hair. I’m not totally sure what I used to achieve these results but the pictures came out nice. I got fancy and used Picasa photo editor and created this collage
Another Twist Out!!!
I purchased 2 items from Curly Kinks in the summer and did a twist out and really LOVED the results.
Here is a twist out using the Satin Roots leave in along with the Twist Whip cream styler.
Braided Updo!
I had my hair in a fabulous braided up-do back in September and enjoyed it for an entire month!
What better way to give your hair a break and have the versatility of being able to war it a few different ways.
Here are some pictures of when I first got it
I can see why protective styling is all the rage. Not having to do my hair was a treat! I didn’t have to do too much during the time I had this style. Kept it moisturized using Curly Kinks Twist Whip and called it a day!
Here’s my hair about 2 weeks old…I re-arranged the twists in the front and wore it like this for the rest of the month…
Special thanks to my cousin Paula for doing my hair! She is a traveling Stylist/Consultant for those of you in New York looking for someone talented to do your hair.

Return of the Twist and Curl
Time to revisit and oldie but goodie. Don’t get me wrong, I love my twist outs but every now and then, I need something different and there is just something about a twist & curl I Love!
This was done on an old twist out that I lighted sprayed with water and sealed with Broccoli Seed oil which by the way is becoming my new favorite oil!!!
Check out the shine!!!
Happy Fro Independence Day!

Good Bye Shampoo…Hello Mud
My days of washing my hair with shampoo has come to an end. I have discovered a better alternative…mud wash.
I would have never thought that mud would be considered a cleanser but Terressential Organic Mud Wash is my hair’s new BFF.
Pros:
- All natural
- Makes de-tangling a breeze
- It’s s a shampoo and conditioner in one
Cons:
- I can only get it online and the shipping is pricey
Love this stuff!
