Twisted up on old hair I used water and my fave ORS smooth n hold pudding Forgot to take a pic of the actual re twist pattern, but I did two rows for more definition in the back Can't wait to "play" in my hair after my next protective style! What's your favorite style on natural hair? Blessings J

Hey. thanks for stopping by Bin rocking braids (I installed) for almost 7 weeks. This past Monday I cut it into a lob (long Bob) I actually really liked it and was surprised the braids didn't unravel on their own. It might be my next style. That way I can save $$ by doing it myself. Length check. The front on my hair was between my eyes before I braided up. OK so I use Hask shampoo and conditioner.Pretty good stuff! 7.5/10 I deep condition with this Miss Jessie's rapid recovery treatmen t 6.5/10. I sit under my heat cap for 30mins Rinse- Freshly washed hair. No product First time using this Shea Moisture castor oil line (used the brand before). Heard so much good things. Then I apply some coconut oil to scalp and hair. I section hair as I go, applying my styler- ORS smooth and hold pudding. Love this. 9/10 I twirl section around, not the usual two strand twist and secure with a rubber band I let dry for ...

A couple weeks ago I decided I wanted to blow out my natural hair...just for a change. I did some research on 'Dry Barr' Salon (Upper East Side Location) and liked what  I heard and saw so I decided to try them out. Loved the results! I have nothing bad to say about this place They served drinks, were friendly, on time, organized and they even gave out free umbrellas ( it was raining that day) Pin Curls (next day, by me) I will be returning!!

This style was a long time coming. I put it off because I knew it would take up a lot of time and would be quite tedious to accomplish, especially on short hair. Well my cousin offered to help. Four hands are better than two (in this case) so we went for it. State of Hair - dry, stretched and sectioned Products Used - small straws (cut in halves and thirds) -coconut oil (for scalp) - As I Am twist define cream -gel -comb -bob pins Time - about 2.5 hrs Set Time - from about 6pm-1.30pm (next day) Next day Results 2nd day Results Thoughts I had a lot of flake-age the next day. The straws and clips were extremely uncomfortable to sleep with, BUT I will try this style again in a couple months using different  products and probably bigger straws ;) Blessings J

Absolutely loved how this turned out. It was inspired by the lovely Kim ( thechicnatural ) on You Tube  ~ 2nd day hair~ (It looks even better in person) Check out the video Blessings J

I did my first wash and go 3 weeks post big chop. I think i'm late. I feel like that's the first thing I should of done. Anyway, it was a success! My hair was conditioned and I used a little castor oil in my thin areas (left side of my head. I plan on putting castor oil every other that in that section). I massaged a generous amount of pure coconut oil in my scalp and hair. I then proceeded to part my hair into small sections, spray with water and massage the eco style oil in. Didn't check to see how long the process took me (not too long nor short), but it took forever to dry. I was finished at 4.30 pm and at 8.30 pm my hair was about 60% dry. The next morning, the middle was still damp. Its probably better to do this on a warm day but my hair was completely white when I was finished. There goes the wash and GO! Couldn't go anywhere if I wanted to looking like that lol Ok so these pics were taken the night of the first day. This is second day ...

Hope your Veteran's Day was Blessed Today after Church and paying bills, I decided to go to Trader Joe's! I picked up the famous Raw Coconut Oil and their Women's multivitamin for hair skin and nails. I've wanted these  things for a while! My first time at Trader Joe's was a very pleasant one. They (the staff) were very kind and organized; two words that don't usually go together in Brooklyn lol. Lets just say, I'll be back! (terminator voice). I posed a bit before it got too nippy I dug deep for my black hat, can't remember where I bought it. Conway top, Weekend jeans, Dr Jays boots and cardigan bought from a friend Blessings J
