Pinkrage

Well, I am washing my hair now. I joined the "Use your Stash" challenge and decided to revisit some items today. I have decided that the Komaza care items are too thin for my THICK hair. I will be giving those away to a newly natural sista for her to try. She has thinner hair.

Also I realized that Cream of Nature shampoo has SLS in it, so I thew it way. My Paul Mitchell Color Care Conditioner has too much protein in it and made my hair hard ( I just had a protein treatement for Christmas so I didn't need anymore). I threw that away too.

Decreasing my stash already

OK, today I am having a good hair day. Last night I did a braid and curl. I left some of the ends loose and rolled with a perm rod roller. This was my first time doing a BNC like that. I finally got those curly ends I see on everyone else.

I will post pictures this evening.

Oooo I can't wait to see have a great day!

Dang, Dang, Dang...why my job block FOTKI !

Thanks Reese!

Last night I just pinned curled it. I really haven't looked at it this morning, LOL. We'll see if I pin curl or rebraid tonight.

I stopped my Sally's last night and picked up some supplies (NOT PRODUCTS). They have hair clips on sale and I needed a new satin bonnet. I need a new scarf too but I didn't see the one I was looking for.

Pinkrage - do you use a setting lotion to roll your ends? My hair is a lot shorter than yours, but I was thinking of trying a roller-set for my birthday later this month.

BTW - your hair is ADORABLE!

Your BnC came out great!!!! and ur self portraits are great too!! I always end up cutting half of myself out of the picture lol

Thanks Blakbutterfli and A85.

I only used coconut oil on my ends.

Your hair is gorgeous!!!! the braid out is lovely!!

Nice! Love the results of your BnC!

Great braid out!!! Cute!!

You have the braidout that I want. I recently tried it and it was crazy flat. I might try again, You have inspired me. BTW I really liked your BKO, I couldn't see the frizz (pic angles can sometimes hide things ) but I thought it was adorable!

Day 3 hair is still holding up. It looks good but it's a lot bigger today. Oh well, that is just part of being natural. I put it up in a pineaapple last night and pin curled the ends.

I think tonight I am going to rebraid it. I will probably do fewer braids. I think I am going to put shea butter on the ends tonight since I just picked some up at the store.

AWW silky, silky now! I found a great 3 strand twist tutorial using colored yarn. YAY

Day 4 hair and it looks fine to me. I rebraided last night. I actually flat braided last night (for the first time) and put about 6 rows in. The front braids definitely look WAAAYY better than the back braids.

Additionally, my braids look underhanded. I don't know how I did that. I was worried that the curls wouldn't be defined because of that but it didn't have any effect on them. I need to buy a mannequin. I need to practice on something other than my head because my hands got tired.

I have a wig. Maybe I can just hold that down and practice some. We'll see!

I told Hubby I wanted to get a mannequin so I can practice too. It will be a good investment for my side hustle...styling natural hair for the hair challenged.

@Pinkrage: Are you going to try 3 strand twists? I've been wanting to try them for a while, but never did more than two because it required way too much concentration.

Maybe I should make that my side hustle

@Traveljunkie- I want to try the 3 strand but I have to practice and get the swing of it. It can't be too hard...it' just a twist.

@Lynn- go ahead with your side hustle. I will be happy to just style my hair, LOL. A mannequin will also help me practice styles for my little one. She doesn't have enough hair for me to play in now. When I start doing her hair i want to know what I am doing. She is too active for me to practice on her and then have to start over, LOL!

@Tia- You should definitely MAKE HAIR your side hustle. You are a professional natural styler.

ok who is doing my 3ST??
