No Sisterlocks for now...

Hi all,


I've been MIA trying to figure out who was going to do my locks... then the bottom dropped out.  My truck broke down and fixing her is going to take all of my sisterlock savings.  I'm trying not to be sad because it's much more important that my truck run so I can get to work and everything, but still... I have that disappointed feeling you only have when you were this close to getting what you really wanted.  So I have to start saving for them over... and in the mean time my hair will be getting longer, so I really don't see myself getting them done before November at this rate. :(

Okay that's all the time I have given myself to be sad.  Because in the mean time, the in between time... I'm gonna continue to blog about my hair.  I've finally mastered a few hairstyles so I will be using my blog to show you what I'm doing and hopefully how I did it.  I hope you stick with me, but if not blessed be.

Keep it nappy y'all!!

Twist Out!!

I've never had a successful twist out, I've been trying for 2 years.  My cousin finally helped me realize it was because I've been using leave in as my styling product and I should have been adding some gel.  O.o  LOL  I use just a leave in for my braid outs and they always come out awesome, so I've assumed that the same thing would work for the twist outs.  When I think of all the hot mess I went through when I could have added one thing and been good... Smh.

• Co-Washed
• Garnis Sleek and Shine Leave in rubbed through
• Aussie Hair Insurance sprayed all over.
• 2 strands twists
• Air dry
• Rub with Proclaim Activator gel in morning to make damp
• Air dry

I loved the defined curls! 

Hair Update!!!

Hi everyone!!

I've been missing for a few weeks trying to figure out exactly who is going to install my sisterlocks.  I've been second guessing and it's kind of got me tripping. One way or the other, they are getting installed the week of 9/18. lol I sound super confident right!! 

In the interim... I have been doing a bunch of hairstyles I've never achieved before!!  It's like my loose hair has decided it's going to let me get a couple of cute styles done after 2 years of failure LOL

I've been taking pictures so I could share what's worked:


Banding

I've always heard of people doing this, but I've never tried it myself.  It was easier than I expected and I liked the way my hair was easy to style after.
