Product Review: Coco Curls

 As I promised I am back to do my review on Coco Curls. First of all let me say that the smell is intoxicating I opened the jar and instantly admired the creamy yellow texture and then sniffed it and it smelled just like chocolate and vanilla (well to me it did lol). I love the whipped texture and I decided to use it on the twist portion of my "fancy bun" and it defined and moisturized like nobody's business. I love that it provides a little hold but still kept my curls from feeling hard and crunchy. Not to mention this product is definitely a winner because it doesn't create those little white balls on your hair  if you use it right over your leave in which for me is normally a little bit of conditioner from when I co-wash. Another win for me is that it moisturizes well without making my hair feel heavy or look oily, and the best part of all is that a little goes along way I am known to be heavy handed but with this product there is no need for that. I will surely keep this product in my rotation and if you are interested in it check out there site here. Like I stated in my last post this product was sent to me but I believe that the 16oz jar runs about 25 dollars and the 8oz is 15.

Fancy Bun

I know it has been a few weeks since I have posted but I have an update for yall. So a few weeks ago I entered a giveaway on Curly and Lovely's blog and won a 16 oz jar of Coco Curls Styling Cream. I love it, I plan on doing a full review on it soon but I did use it on the look below. It has been hot here in Atlanta lately, well the weather has been in the 80s so that means that the days of wearing a braid out might be going away in this weather. So I have been wearing my hair up to fight the heat, for the look below I two strand twisted the front "bang " portion of my hair I had planned on wearing it down but it was just too much hair in my face so I pulled it up and pushed it forward to make a little hump and then bunned the rest. I love this look, I feel like it makes the bun look fancy and gives it texture. With the weather being well into the 80s for the past two weeks I feel like I will be entering into updo season lol.

Coffee, Bad Weather and High Buns

Hey yall,
I know the title sounds insane but let me explain. Friday afternoon the weather was warm and breezy. David and I made plans to go out and get this I actually put on a dress. Well fast forward two hours and it is high winds, rain and thunder a tornado actually touched down a few miles from my house. Well me being the chicken that I am, made a promise that I wouldn't be washing my hair that night because I didn't want to be in the shower and have the power go out. So in comes the high bun. I freaking love FSG I still had great hold and definition so I pulled my hair up. Saturday afternoon it was cold out so David and I stopped into the best little coffee house and passed the afternoon. I plan to make some more FSG this weekend and wash my hair for a twist out

Flax Seed Gel (FSG)

Hey yall,
So Saturday night I made flax see gel and I had plans on wearing my hair out this week. It has been pretty warm here but as usual the weather changed and it has been a bit chilly. So I co-washed this morning and decided to shingle my hair in the same four sections I had co-washed in. I used my denmen brush to smooth the FSG through my hair and also raked it with my fingers. I have used the gel for twist outs but this was my first shingle. I must admit at first I thought that it wouldn't be enough hold but as my hair dried the hold got a bit harder. I am planning to wear my hair like this until my next wash day next week.

P.S. Have any of you tried FSG before? How did you like it? Please comment below :)

Co-washed Twists

Hey yall,
I co-washed yesterday with Sauve's Rosemary & Mint condish (review coming soon). While my hair was wet I oiled my hair and scalp with castor oil and then placed my twists into two big braids to help stretch them. Below is the pic of them a bit fuzzy but I'm going to keep them in for another week. I'm off to enjoy this near 80 degree weather in Atlanta! :)

Cabin Trip (Blue Ridge, GA)

Hey yall,
I am back as promised with a few pics. I had an absolute blast even though the drive up the mountain was insane, so insane I had to pullover and let David drive lol.  I wore my hair in the banded ponytail until Saturday morning since we spent the night before in the hot tub my hair was extremely frizzy. Yesterday I decided to do some medium sized twists and I wasn't paying attention and ended up with multiple sized twists so I will most likely keep them in for the next week or two, hopefully I can find some styles for them. Happy Valentine's Day to yall I hope everyone enjoyed there day.
XOXO,
TwistedMarie

 **Ok the above 1st pic is the banded ponytail, the 2nd is David and I and sadly I didn't take a pic of anyone else it was six other people lol. The 3rd & 4th pics are the inside view of the cabin(house). The 5th & 6th pics are the road leading up to the cabin and then the outside of the cabin.The 7th pic is David looking out at the mountains(this wasn't even the top it was thirty more miles up lol) And last but not least is the pic of me with the twists.**
P.S. I am truly saddened by the passing of a diva  Ms. Whitney Houston, all I can say is I grew up during the 90s and remember dancing in my room with a hair brush to all her music(I still do it now). Her voice was incredible and classic, she had strength in her voice that touched everyone. We must remember that we are all human and celebrity or not we all have our own personal demons. Despite her struggles I have always thought she was so beautiful...I pray for her family,especially her daughter. Cherish life yall please.
