ONE YEAR!!!!!!


Hey everyone, it has been a year!! I changed the main picture for when Ms. Aminah, straightened my hair, it was so great. I have to wait until the humidity dies down though before I get it straightened again. My hair lasted for 2 days!!!!...LOL!!! All in all, I am LOVING my hair. The products I use mostly are Herbal Naturals conditioner, for my co-wash. Lustrasilk Cholesterol for the deep conditioning, and Ion for protein conditioning once a month. For wash and goes if I don't want it feeling too heavy, will use the mixed chicks leave in conditioner. If I want it to be stretched out a little will use the Eco Styling Gel and Blue Magic, or will use Miss Jessie's, baby buttercream and curly pudding. When doing a blow-out two strand twist and twist out will use Created by Nature pomade. If doing a wet two-strand twist and twist out will use the Miss Jessies.

I know it seems like A LOT of products, but really and truly they all serve their own unique purpose!! Since I have met the year mark, I won't be blogging as often. However, since I have more hair there will be more styles!!! So I will post up styles as they come to me!!! LOL!!! Take care everyone!!

twist out, month 11

Month 10-11, One more month to go


Added a little color, and it keeps growing. A whole year next month...so excited!! Will have some pro pics next month...watch out there now!! For wash and go's I have been using the Eco Styling Gel and mixing it the old school blue magic. Stays strecthed for the majority of the day and is the best if it s rainy or really humid outside, because it does not frizz up. This pic is my two strand twist with Created by Nature pomade. I washed, blow-dried then twisted.

Months 8-9


I am still working on creating a curl pattern. One of my friends suggested Miss Jessie's curly pudding. I am still trying to figure out what allows my curls to remain in a stretched position the longest. Right now it seems the best thing is a two strand twist. That elongates it the most. Outside of that is just a bulky kinky twist with either Miss Jessies Baby Buttercream or Kinky Curly Regimen. This pick is with the Baby Buttercreme after a bulky twist out.

Month 7....and 6... :-P


Soooooo, I kinda let month 6 slip by me without posting!! Sorry about that, it just got away from me somehow. Anyway, haven't tried anything new lately. Still doing the twist out with the Baby Buttercream. I twist the hair at night before going to bed and put the buttercream on the twists before putting my silk scarf on. The gel, still leaves flakes behind, I do plan on trying a wash and go with the buttercream instead of the gel, and we will see how that does. Anyhoo 7 months

Hair Gel

Tried a new product last night, the Eco, Hair gel. Loved the way it made my hair look, really defined the curl...BUT, this morning, my scalp was so flaky where the gel dried. It looked like dandruff...yuk. I might have gone a little overboard with the gel, so will try to ease up next time, then will see if the flakes remain.

I am so excited. The next time I get it done, I am getting it straightened...duh, duh, duhhhhh, pray for me...LOL!! To moisten it used the Miss Jessie Baby Buttercream, my new favorite product. Take care.
