I love a messy bun, and since I am growing bangs out it has been my go-to style. I just got finished growing all of the dye out of my hair, now I'm growing bangs out. Always something!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

and I'm still dont actually understand HOW you seal your ends. is it just rubbing the shea butter through the ends of your hair???

This my second day hair after doing a twist out. I washed yesterday with my Blended Beauty Soy Cream Shampoo followed by a DC. I twisted my hair using my shea butter mix then rolled it on perm rods. I just pulled the sides back. This how it looks after sleeping on it and working out!

and I'm still dont
actually understand HOW you seal your ends. is it just rubbing the shea
butter through the ends of your hair???

When I do twists or braids, I seal each end by picking up a little bit of shea butter in my fingers and running it down the end of the twist. Then I take my finger and twirl the end around my finger. When I do this there is enough shea butter on the hair that I can actually see it. So I use a lot. I'm not sure how everyone else does it.

@succinctlyso, thanks!! Yours is adorable, too. I love the girls rockin the short styles. When my sister had short hair she got so many compliments -- more than she gets now that it's long!!

i love your ponytail!

Today I pulled my BN-out into a pony.

nubian knot out. first time doing it on wet hair. yesterday I co-washed but left the conditioner in all day. washed most of it out last night it was giovanni tea tree triple threat conditioner (which I LOVE as of yesterday lol. and then I used mango butter on my edges and as I twisted into knots, a VERY little coconut oil (it makes my hair oily) and this morning I added shea butter/coconut oil mix to my ends and edges... Lots of shrinkage but still cute! I need some moisturizing stylers! you can't really tell by this pic but my hair is SO THIRSTY! ANd I trimmed over 2 inches in some areas where my hair was heat damaged... cutting sprees - gotta love em.

@curlyspeech theraplst - dont go to sleep near my house I may take ur hair! lol That's your natural color?

@curynikki - ummmm you dont need to redo your hair again your hair looks great! And get better soon. I was sick for over a week that time I got sick when normally I'm only out of commission for 2 days max

@succinctly - I just moved from San Diego in June but I come back a lot! next time I come back can we trade some products or something??? lol are you on meetup.com? there's a natural hair meet up there....and i LOVE your curls they look so HYDRATED

@everybody - Why were we getting our hair straightened again??? I guarantee if you asked for "hair today" shots while everyone was relaxed or straightened this would not be nearly as fun or beautiful or DIFFERENT... LOVE THIS!

This is day five of my braidout.
I just have a headband holding it like this.
I didn't put anything in it when I woke up.
I try to wash and style only once or twice a week. My hair grows much faster when I stretch styles and stay out of it. It needs done now though, as you can see!

I honestly feel that a lot of women look so much more beautiful with natural hair. I think embracing your texture brings out beauty you never knew you had.
Natural hair = confidence boost = flyness = beautiful you!

I am wearing I BnC that is a day old. I did 9-10 braids and curled them with 3/4 wide curlers. I washed with South of France Organic Shea Butter Soap Bar, and HE Hello Hydration, Totally Twisted, and Aussie Moist. I used EVCO and Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioner on my scalp and the body of my hair, and Cantu Shea Butter Hair Dressing Pomade on my ends. I find that if I only 1/2 wash out my conditioner my hair will smell nice and dry a lot faster.

I usually take my hair out after I have gone through the next day in curlers and a hat. I sleep with my hair in a pineapple and fluff the next day. I have been using headbanging as a fluffing method. It works SO well. I just put on my favorite Alexisonfire or Saosin song and rock out for 5-10 mins and my hair separates without the frizz of finger-fluffing. I follow up with some finger fluffing to perfect the look before I leave though.

Love your TWA!

Well, this is how I am wearing my hair for the week! Lol...My TWA is growing and I am getting kinda lazy. Last night I decided to braid it, in medium size briads...and I used.........Shea Butter!!!!!!! I am so happy It worked this time! I pretty much had written the Shea butter off! But I guess, it is a technique to using it! I think i got it!!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]


I am feeling the braids too, easy and low maintence...and I think the braid out will turn out better than the twistout....we'll see, I will definitely post pics!

So here are my first set of braids on my TWA... I pinned them up with some bobby pins, to switch the look up (last week I did the same thing with Two strand twist!). The hubs even gave me a compliment! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I cowashed last night with V05 and used Herbal Essence Hello Hydration as my leave in and sealed with shea butter...and I sealed my ends with the shea.

My hair was damp, not really wet, but not really dry either...then i started braiding (of course on detangled hair!), it worked! And before I went to bed, i tied my hair down with my satin scarf [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I like it!

For today, I'm rocking a pony puff with a twist-out in front. Its my first time wearing it like this but I needed something different and easy. I did my first henna treatment, so its slightly tinted now

After I washed out all that residue that I missed Friday (my hands turned orange while I was twisting the other night! lol) I applied a little Elasta QP Mango Butter to my hair and sectioned off the front from ear to ear (like bangs or so) with a little part in the middle, put my puff in its place, and twisted the front.

I dont have pics of it yet, but when I do I'll edit this and post them

Braid out!
I wore the braids to work under a scarf and I just took them out at my desk...LOL.

Excuse me looking crazy, I have been here since 6AM, hence the braids not being taken out when I woke up.
