Three Strand Twist Out

Last Saturday I decided to re-twist my hair but didn't feel like washing it. I thought a three strand twist out would be an awesome way to get a defined twist out. I placed my hair in about 20 twists and took them down this morning. I only used Ecostyler Krystal and Pink for this twist out, but forgot to take a picture with the twist in. Merry Christmas love bugs!

Braid Out, Plaid and Glasses

I promised I would post a pic of my hair! This was a braid out about a week old, I took pics today of course it's frizzy but it is stretched. I used Krystal and Pink Ecostyler gel and placed my hair in 8 braids...and of course like normal to maintain it at night I braid my hair back up and then don a large satin bonnet!

P.S. The glasses are from Warby Parker, they are such an awesome company for every pair that they sell they donate a pair to someone in need kind like the concept of Toms.  I purchased this pair back in November and order two more pairs yesterday. All glasses are 95 bucks for single vision and they even let you try before you buy! Check them out if you are in need! 

Crochet Braids

So I installed a set of chrocet braids for my Mom about two weeks ago and wanted to share the look with y'all. I know I haven't posted much about my hair but things have been beyond hectic with the holidays(but hair post are coming soon). Anyhoo, I braided my Mom's in about twelve cornrows and then installed the hair I used Freetress Soft Wave in the color 1b and 2 for a subtle highlight. This is her second install the first was about two months ago but I forgot to blog about it. There are tons of how to videos on YouTube but basically you use a latch hook and latch the hair into the braids. This has been my Mom's go to style because she is about to wear it up or down and not worry about it being damaging to her hair because the braids aren't too tight. So this would of course be a great protective style or even good for transitioning hair. My Mom sleeps with her hair in a bonnet and then shakes it down in the morning and is out the door. She still takes care of her hair underneath and applies oil when needed.

The top picture is her current install of Freetress Soft Water Wave in 1b and 2. The bottom picture is chrochet braids too but with the Jumbo Braid Kankalon hair in the color 2 and 33. I got both brands of hair from my local beauty supply store in Atlanta. Both brands of hair are relatively cheap since the hair is synthetic. The last install took about 3 hours the first took a lot longer since it was my first try. 

Top Knot Bun For My Birthday

My 29th aka 8th annual 21st birthday was awesome I spent it with my family and friends...in the end they are all I needed for my special day. I'm not mad in this pic just wanted to showcase my dark lipstick! 

Besos!

Product Review: Lottabody

So about these new Lottabody products...my hair is super moisturized! Ok let me back up and start over I picked up the wrap lotion to do a roller set months ago and have used it from time to time on my hair. It's great because it gives me super hold but not hard and crunchy hair. Anyhoo, the mini twists came out last weekend and I decided to do a simple twist out and figured pulling it up would be a good option. My hair has remained moisturized and I only re-twist it at night with no product. These two products are amazing...it's almost been two week since I have washed my hair and it still is defined and frizz free. Run don't walk to pick it up!

Stepping Outside of My Comfort Zone:October

So I am still rocking  the mini twists, and I plan to take them down next weekend. Anyhoo, I took a vacation to go and  visit my Dad for a few days last month, I was excited for months but when the day came I was beyond nervous about flying by myself and then driving alone. My nerves were bad the whole plane ride there but I got it together before getting to the airport. I hoped a flight to DC and then drove all by myself to Maryland, it was a two hour drive and I had such a great time seeing my Dad.
