I tried a twist out using Curl Prep Sweet Buttah and although it came out pretty defined and moisturized, it was too frizzy from my take down.  I wore a wig for a few days after setting my hair in twists and took down the twists after 3 days.  I should have separated the twists more...

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...

We all saw it, that fabulous style that Teyonah Parris wore to the SAG awards.  I re-created this style on an old twist out using Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercreme and Edge control.  I made 5 sections (4 put into ponytails) and made each section into two twists.  The twists are loose at...

I’ve always wanted big curly, natural hair and I’ve finally achieved the style I like on my fine 4a natyral hair.  I got a ton of compliments on my hair and my sister even thought it was weave since it looked so full.  As you can tell by this blog, it was a lot of trial and error...

I love the way this twist out turned out on my natural hair.  It has taken me over two years to figure out the best products for my natural hair.  Hopefully you can use these tips and save yourself some time and money. For this twist out my goal was 5 day hair with no retwisting.  I...

As you transition from relaxed to natural hair, you do not want to give up your workout routine.  I have been trying to figure out a good work out hairstyle that won’t look a hot mess after 45 minutes to 1 hour of cardio and I think I’ve got it! I did a blow out using my blow...

I finally took out my Senegalese twists that have been installed since March 10 (nearly 3 months).  I noticed a bit of matting while cleaning my scalp with Seabreeze that made me take them out sooner than planned.  I had 2 touch ups during the 3 months to freshen up the look but it really...
