Have you ever had a detangling orgasm?  Well, if you haven’t let me tell you about my experience. I’ve been wearing Havana twists for a while, having them redone about every 2 months.  The beauty of a protective style means I don’t need to buy any new products so getting my...

I haven’t worn crochet braids in years although I loved the style and it was easy to do on my own. This is a style I did a few years ago. I’m thinking about getting crochet braids again. I used 2 packs of hair, color 2 and color 4/30, bulk Freetress Bohemian Braid. I later added...

I finally picked up Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Cream and I have to admit, I returned my Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercreme the day after I used the Cantu.   I washed my hair, added my leave in and twisted my hair with Coconut Curling Cream.  The next day I had moisturized, shiny...

I’m learning to swim and a big concern was keeping my hair dry.  I was not inclined to start washing my hair twice a week after swimming.  A trick that worked for me is using two swim caps.  I use a latex over my hair, pulled down to fully cover my ears.  I cover the latex swim cap...

I ordered plastic mesh Bigodini Conici hair rollers direct from Italy since I was able to get a friend to send them to me for a reasonable price.  I filmed my rollerset here: http://youtu.be/mRpZ48zqOGQ I’ve seen them online for $19.49 for a 6 pack of white rollers and $19.49 for a 12...

I picked up a new product at the local Indian store, Dabur Vatika Naturals Hot Oil Treatment, a deep conditioner, which I used prior to a rollerset.  I filmed it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4PoeVuO9pk I used the treatment on freshly washed hair that was not detangled. The product...

I finally tried the Drybar in NYC and boy, that was a waste of my time.  I had to walk out with my hair half wet.  I specifically put in the special request section for my appointment that someone call me by 9:30 am if there was no stylist that could blow out my hair, African American woman...

I tried another flat twist but this time I used a different pattern, straight back flat twists.  I recorded it here: http://youtu.be/tGJfiZPfFws  I actually like this style much better and it was easier to put the flat twists in going straight back. I think it turned out well and this time...

I finally tried a flat twist out for the first time ever!  I recorded it here:  http://youtu.be/iHviua7cMaU Although it turned out well, it took me 40 minutes to put in 6 twists.  I did the flat twist out on hair that had been in a bun.  The curl pattern turned out very different from my...

I ended up trying out Good Hair Days Magic Grip hairpins on my 30 second bun.  The pins hold a ton of hair and they are very light.  I could not even feel the hairpin in my head once it was installed.  I had a twist out that did not come out that well so I pinned it up.  I filmed it...

My hair was not dry in time to go to brunch so I decided to wear my new wig.  I filmed it here: http://youtu.be/LUFgU6ZgP6c  The brand is It’s a Wig, and the style is It’s a Cap Weave Afro Curl HH (human hair).  I bought a color 2.  I find that human hair color 2 is much...

I tried a Wash & Go on my hair using Curl Prep Sweet Buttah after seeing a stylist do a demonstration of the product at the Let Your Hair Down Hair Expo in Brooklyn.  I paid $15 for an 8 ounce jar. I filmed some footage and took some photos that are posted...

I decided to try my Goody Spin Pin bun on freshly washed natural hair to see if it would look as great as the Goody Spin Pin bun done on an old twist out.  I did not use a comb or brush or gel.  I used only a Goody elastic band, a small comb as a “stopper” and a Goody Spin Pin....

I needed a quick style and ended up trying this bun on an old twist out. It took only a few seconds to achieve this style after I moisturized my hair.  I filmed the process here: http://youtu.be/-bUy31Vy6rM This style was done on an old twist out. I sprayed my hair with water, added my leave...

You can achieve a high and full bun on short to medium length natural hair without weave.  One of my hair sisters uses this style  and I decided to give it a try after wearing a twist out for a week.  If you can twist your hair, you can do this style. Only a few inches of hair are needed....
