The Weekend

So I blew my hair out on Thursday afternoon. The next day overwhelmed and overheated (I'm hot natured) I pulled into a low pony with a braid, see the pics below. And happy unofficial start of summer!!

Stepping Out Of My Comfort Zone: April

Hmmm this month seemed like a blur I swear this year is flying by. Anyhoo, I participated in a Green smoothie challenge and really enjoyed it. I'm not a vegetable girl at all and the thought of drinking a smoothie of 95% spinach seemed gross but I took the challenge and now can't get enough of them. I am going for a goal if having 100 green smoothies in May! My energy level has improved and my skin is glowing!

Braids Are Back!

I know it seems like has been weeks since my last blog post but work and life have been extremely busy for me and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon. Anyhoo, Friday night I came home after a long week and washed my hair and then decided to braid it again. I used the Jamaican mango and lime locking gel and I love the results. For some strange reason this look only took me 5 hours last year was 12...I'm not gonna complain lol. I did braid my hair wet and the twist the ends so maybe that is what shortened the time.

Flexi Rods on Twists

So I wore my hair in those twists for almost two weeks. The started to look old so I took them out last night and wash my hair, but Thursday night I set them and flexirods and loved the look that it created, see below.

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,
