Weekend Hair-do

Hey Naturals!! I did this video while in New Orleans for the weekend.  I tried the Naptural85 method again, this time on stretched hair with fantastic results AGAIN!! My hair was super soft and fluffy...I did not add any holding product to my hair so by the end of the night, including riding (and falling off) the bull in Bourbon Cowboy, walking the equivalent of 3 miles (or something like that lol!) Saturday night, and not going to sleep until 5ish in the AM, my hair had grown in size but it was still fly!  So peep the video, just a quick look at my twist takedown process, and let me know what you think :)

Happy Weekend!!

Hey Naturals, this is just a quick post...a really really quick catch-you-up post :)

I submitted my HAIRstory to Naturally Curly a couple days ago, so that should be coming up on the site very soon!  I worked pretty hard to condense it (cause y'all know I'm long winded!) but I think it conveys my experience perfectly!

I'm headed to New Orleans today to hang out with my girls so I'll try to take as many pictures as I can...maybe I'll video while I'm out there too :)

As for my hair...I co-washed with Aussie Moist (first time trying it and I like!) used La Boutique De Fleurtzy Hydrating Hair butter to twist and now I have about 9-10 partial flat twists in.  I used small perm rods on the ends and my hair is stretched out pretty :)  The twists are still in but the rods are out...

It's early...disregard the bags :)

I was also the winner of TWO giveaways this week...I won a 20% coupon to QHEMET BIOLOGICS!!! Y'all know I've really been wanting to give their line a try, and since I missed the last sale they had b/c it sold out, I get to try it now!  And I was just notified that I won a $40 gift certificate to BEE MINE, courtesy of BeadsBraidsBeyond and KandyLandKurls 2 year blog anniversary.  I'm rocking and rolling and will be up to my elbows in products...a product junkie's dream!

Have a great weekend y'all, be safe, and have fun!!

A New Month, A New Focus

Happy Saturday!!

Happy October 1st!!

Happy Fourth Quarter!!

I just wanted to take a quick moment to say THANK YOU!!! These (almost) past 2 months have been beyond my imagination, from starting this blog, to making my FIRST YouTube video, to creating my Facebook page, culminating in the Naturally Curly photo shoot.  I absolutely love the support I've been receiving, the questions I've been getting, the overall interest being shown in nurturing Natural hair has just made my heart full.  I hope the next few months towards the end of the year are equally as stimulating.

Now that we're entering the last quarter of the year, a lot of things have been coming to mind.  Today I finally washed my hair and tried Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie as my styler...video is in progress and I'll post it once I do my twistout, maybe tomorrow evening or Monday.  I realized how much my hair has grown, and that I do want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to keep it healthy and continue to grow.  The fall/winter seasons for me will be all about moisturizing and protective styles.  Yes, I'll still wear my hair out on occasion, but it will be kept to weekends and special events only.  I  really want to retain my length and see how long it will be by the end of the year.  Also, I'm going to try an minimize my detangling sessions to twice a month, using my fingers to do most of the work. 

I'm going to come back when I have a bit more time and go in-depth about what my goals are for the rest of the year and how I plan on achieving them.  For me, shorter terms goals tend to work better.  I can focus on 3 months better than I can an entire year...I'm a bit ADD when it comes to setting/achieving goals so this should help me tremendously. 

Please spread the word about my page, tell your friends and family!  I created this page for anyone who loves their hair, whether natural or transitioning, even relaxed.  Make sure to join to stay informed of new posts, it's FREE!!  I sincerely appreciate everyone who has already become a Friend of My Blog :) And now I will leave with a few snapshots of my twists, 16 total, using Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie.

Enjoy your weekend :)

Good Mornin, Great Twists!

Hey Naturals!! I spend last night twisting up my hair, a la Naptural85's tutorial.  This is not a tutorial, but it's the finished results...twist out to follow tomorrow!  I had a blast staying up late watching the tutorial and working with a new product :)

 

Thank you for checking out my blog!  Please don't forget to subscribe to both my blog and my Facebook page.  Also I just started up my YouTube page as well, so all of my videos will be posted there.  And as always, I appreciate your comments, feedback and questions.  Spread the word for me please!!
