She is me. Can you tell I watch a lot of Tamar Braxton?..lol Anywho, my sister-in law did braids for me on New Year’s Day. She’s a hairdresser and she did Marley twists for me last September. I kept them in for seven weeks, WAY too long. I decided I wanted big braids instead of Marley…
HAPPY 2014! 🙂 I hope everyone is enjoying this new year thus far. I am truly grateful and blessed to see 2014. I was looking at my blog stats from 2013 and I thought I’d share my top five most viewed posts. This will be my blog’s official farewell to 2013. Yes I know I…
Also known as a “Bantu Knot Out”. Potato, patata. Anywho, I did them again. I was itching to do them since the last time. I used the exact same products. As I Am Naturally Twist Defining Cream, Jamaican Black Castor Oil {used to seal my ends and unravel my twists} and good old H2O. My…
On Monday, I went to my local Christian book store to buy a gratitude journal. I always wanted to buy one but disregarded the thought. Last week, while I was reading a post from Rae of Love Thy Introvert entitled “The Struggle to be Thankful“, she mentioned that for the rest of this month, she…
I decided to pin up the sides of my Bantu Knot Twist Out. After my birthday I re-twisted my hair and put it back in bantu knots. I didn’t feel like re-twisting it and putting it in bantu knots again last night. Instead, I put a satin cap on and went to bed. This morning,…
I was inspired by one of my favorite YouTube ladies Jouelzy, to do a bantu knot twist out for my birthday yesterday! On Wednesday evening, my sister in law blow dried and trimmed my hair. She said my ends were really bad and the worst she has ever seen them. They were pretty bad and…
My Celie Twists post from September was featured on my FAVORITE natural hair blog, Black Girl with Long Hair aka BGLH. I have been following BGLH since I transitioned in 2009. I love that site so when the founder Leila asked me if she could feature my Celie Twists post on her site, I was…
So after almost 7 weeks, I took my Marley twists out. They were getting on my nerves and getting in the way (they knocked my sunflower seeds off my desk at work, making me look like a complete slob). I just wanted to take them out, massage my scalp, wash my hair, deep condition it…
Today, October 11, 2013, marks four years since I big chopped!! It was a Sunday afternoon that I went to my sister in law’s house and asked her to cut off my relaxed ends, I had blow dried my hair as best as I could beforehand. I transitioned for about six or seven months and…
Yep you heard right! Lol But instead of rocking braids 24/7, I am going to rock these Marley twists 24/7. Why? Because I don’t feel like dealing with my hair and I want my layers to grow out. My hair was cut into layers without my permission {lol} in March 2011. That was two years…
