Stepping Out Of My Comfort Zone: March

So a few years ago I was out every weekend with friends, but lately I am in bed by 10 on the weekends. Well two of my friends decided that we all needed to go out and blow of some steam from a long work week, and I ended up in a raggae club in a dress and heels. Which if you guys haven't heard me say this by now I am a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl so it is very rare that I will go out to a club and even more rare that I would have on a dress and heels. Anyhoo, we went out and I danced until 3 am which was a first especially because it was a raggae club and I could barely understand the music, but I had so much fun!

Flat Twists

So I was in serious need of a protective style I can always tell because I become frustrated with my hair and think about shaving my head. So I washed my hair and parted it in half and flat twisted the front and then placed the back and ends in medium sized twists. I plan to keep this style in for about 2-3 weeks while I plan what my next protective style will be...stay tuned! 
XOXO,

Flat Twist And A Braided Ponytail

So I'm still recovering from that roller set, I deep conditioned my hair last night and then washed it this morning. I used my new love GVP Paul Mitchell's "The Conditioner" and Ecostyler gel. First off I used a old school conditioning cap that I picked up from the beauty supply store. My friend wanted me to install Marley twist in her hair and while she grabbed the hair I roamed the aisle and found this cap. Anyhoo, once I got home last night I put some of the Koilsbynature into my hair pulled it in a high bun and put the cap on. I slept in it for about 8 hours and then washed my hair. It was so soft and super easy to detangle, I was in and out of the shower in 20 minutes. So I wanted to do something quick with my hair and did this style below. See the pics below and keep an eye out for the review. 
XOXO,

Roller Set Gone Wrong

Ugh I don't even know where to start...ok so I had plans to take my twists done since they had frizzed up on me badly from hot yoga a few weeks ago. I went to Sally's and decided to pick up some rollers for a roller set and figured it would be a great way to stretch my hair without too much heat. I left 30 minutes later with rollers and hairpins and ready to start a challenge Friday night. I took my twists out and washed my hair as usual and then started the process. First of rolling my curly hair on a roller was difficult. I spent an hour putting in three. I got frustrated pulled my hair in a bun and went to sleep. The next day I woke up ready to try again, I went to a beauty supply store and found the magnetic rollers with snaps so I wouldn't need to use hairpins. I headed home and rinsed my hair to try again, I really had high hopes it would work. So I managed to roll all of my hair and it took me two hours and fifteen minutes. I think that was a sign then that this wasn't gonna work. I sat and sat under the dryer for what seemed like hours. Once I hit the hour and a half mark I couldn't take the dryer any longer and there was no way in hell I would try to sleep in these things. Well I took the rollers down and my roots still had lots of texture but my ends had big lose curls. I wanted to cry like sit in the middle if my bathroom and cry, I had spent the past two days on my hair and it was a total flop. I'm sitting here now typing this with my hair in a semi straight braid and wavy roots ...I might try again...well no time soon. I just don't want to look at another roller for a long time. Stay tuned. 
XOXO,
