I bought the Frank Juice, Shine and Define, Whipped Pudding, and the Burnt Sugar Pomade fro Oyin, and from Afroveda I bought Curl Define, Pur Whipped Gelly, Totally Twisted Ginger Almond Butter, and CocoLatte Moisture Mask. And I recv'd a free sample of the Shikahai Hair Growth Elixir.

Ok, I am really sick about now. It took me forever to get on here and update you guys with my info-and then mysteriously it disappears.

I will try again tomorrow!

Hair Updates:



I wore my hair in two strand twists with the braids on the side for almost two weeks.

I loved that style. My scalp was in good condition and the twists still looked really good. I refreshed with an oil by ORS , and also my Juices and Berries or water.

I was excited about doing a twistout which is why I took the twists out. My twist out results were not as awesome for some reason, and I think I know why-but I will try it again and then let you guys

know what happened. Anyways, I washed my hair really good, detangled and then let a deep condish sit on my hair overnight. The next morning I washed it out, and used my Afroveda Pur Whipped Gelly. Wow-I loved the smell and my curls were really defined.



I am wondering if I should have used a leave-in condish and if so which condish works well AFroveda?



The reason I did not was because I read the ingredient list, and it sounded good to me (but I am NO expert).

Plus, sometimes when I use a leave-in and I use too much and my hair turns white and I get super frustrated. So I skipped that step. (I know it makes more sense for me to just use less, than none at all)



So tonight, I plan to add some totally twisted ginger almond butter (by Afroveda-I think that is the name), and do some twists.



In other news:



I took my mini-me to the salon to get her hair done. The reason being is because she needed her ends clipped,

And I don’t trust myself doing that. So she recv’d her trim and style and here are the pics. (I also threw in some pics of her hair when I washed it a couple days before.)

These pictures are from six months of being natural. I am definitely making progress, and I owe it all to the beautiful natural women who support one another.

my stylist uses a loc&twist gel by Organic Root stimulator, honey, and hot 6 oil.

Hi there! Your daughter's hair style is cute. I may try it soon now that fall is approaching.

How's your hair doing?

I've used Afroveda, and I used Aubrey Organics conditioners under them with no issues. I love their Totally Twisted Ginger Almond Butter and Pur Whipped Gelly. Great on twists!

I have been missing for awhile, but now I am back with very good hair news.

What am I doing with my hair you ask?

Well, I have been using Oyin Whipped Pudding to twist and sealing with the Burnt Sugar Pomade. I have also been twisting with Afroveda PWG and Totally Twisted Almond Butter or the Cocolatte Moisture Mask by itself.

I wash about every 2 weeks and I use Dr.Bronners Castile Soap (the peppermint one), only a capful and I mix it with AussieMoist Condish. For a deep condish I use Parnevu Hair Mayo (from a beauty supply store). For my leave-in with the Oyin I use the Honey Hemp Condish and with the Afroveda I use Afrodetangler.

I was getting a little discouraged at first because I was not seeing the growth others were, but I realized I could not compare my hair to anyone elses. I have been wearing lots of twists and twistouts which I love and I also colored my hair. Well, I went to a Natural Hair Salon in Houston and my girl Malaika hooked me up.

So without futher delay, here are the pics:

Another puff, but in this one hopefully you will be able to see the color.


I am so happy about the growth I have experiencec and I am really glad I have an idea of what products work for my hair and also some styling options.

Hey Coilykinks!

I see you're getting some hang time with your hair! I'm glad you've found a regimen that works for you. Are you leaving your twists in for the entire two weeks in between washes or do you also wear your hair out?

Whats up krazycoils!

I have been leaving my twists in only over night.

I dry twist every night. I spritz with water and add a little product sometimes depending on how my hair feels. Or sometimes I just rub some oil on my hair.

You do have some hang time...awesome!!! I will be attending the Expo at the Power Center. What about you!!!

I've got to get off CS...seeing all of this beautiful hair makes me wanna take my kinky twists out!! LOL

I know my curls would be more defined if I left the twists in longer. But I am loving wearing my hair out soooo much!

These are just a few pictures I have taken over the last month.
My routine is pretty much the same co-wash,deep condish, and twist.

I had some mini-twists recently and I will be getting some more as a protective style for the winter months.

Hey coilykinks,

Your hair is looking great! Love the color, did you color it?

Happy New Year coilykinks! I love all the pics. Your daughter is a little cutie and your hair has grown so much! Love those earrings too!

Hey CK...

How have you been? I see your hair is thriving, and looking great!!! Missed you around here. We are having a meet-up January 15th, did you get the e-mail. I hope you can make it!!

Happy New Year!!!

Thanks KC! I did not do the color myself. My stylist did it.

Hi KNH! I missed you guys too. I have just been very busy. And yes, I did get the email. I really want to come but I may have some other plans with my baby. So I will have to wait and see.

My hair has grown soooo much. I have pics to post prolly tomorrow.

Everyone is suggesting I straighthen it just to see how long it has gotten. (mostly people non-naturals)I am on the fence abt that because I have heard the horror stories about hair not curling again after using heat.

My stylist made a very good point. She said when you straighthen the objective is to get the hair as straight as possible. And by doing so, she can alter your curl pattern.

I am more in love with my hair than I have ever been. It is growing so fast and it is so healthy. I have thought about doing another BC just because I never had my hair really short since I transitioned. Now If I decide to BC again, I may straighten right before.

Right now, I just want to see how much growth I can achieve by summertime!

Tomorrow I will be getting mini-twists again, and this time I plan to leave them up for 3 weeks. I will post pics tomorrow.

Enjoy your weekend!

Doesn't that feel great!! I loved reading that. I agree your hair is growing nicely and looking FAB!! Keep up the great work!

Havent seen you around in a while, your hair is looking great!

Thanks ladies! I have been very busy at work and with my daughter. She's in Pre-k now and she requires so much of my time and attention. And once I get her in bed my last few moments are spent with my honey. So I am only able to squeeze in a little time here and there.

Well, here are pics of my mini-twists and also a length check:



















THE END

Oh they are pretty! I love the flat twists in the front. Very nice style
