Happy Blog-aversary: Giveaway Celebrations Jan 2012

Diva Locks is turning 1 year old next month, help us celebrate all month long with a new giveaway each week through out the whole month of Jan 2012!!!!This blog began in Jan 2011 when I googled "children's hairstyles" I was introduced to a variety of blogs and I was instantly fascinated. I then began to take an interest in proper care, products, and learning as much as I could about natural hair care. At the same time I had decided I wanted to grow out my short A-line bob cut I had. Diva Locks was born and has since evolved to include other interests I have such as fashion, beauty, DIY crafts, my efforts/attempts at living a Green lifestyle, product reviews, and giveaways. However, the main focus of our blog will always remain Natural Hair Care and will continue to document my journey as well as my daughter's. I am so grateful for all of the support, kind words, participation, and friends I have made along the way. I hope you guys enjoy our little piece of the world and find … [Read more...]

Picture+147

Lately it has been unusually cold here in So Cal so I wanted to give the diva a cute protective style and this popped into my head.I started with the take down of this style (which by the way lasted for a whole week yay)Next I sectioned the hair in three sectionsTwo sections in the back and one half in the front. I then made three cornrows on each side to meet in the middle of the two back sections of hair and then freestyled the cornrows on the top half of the head to all meet towards the middle.I rubber band the 2 ponytails at a time together and then two strand twisted each ponytailI could have left it like this for a mohawk do' but I opted to make little rosettes out of the twists and pinned them with bobby pinsThe diva said she will wear her hair like this for 5 days then she'll wear it out like a mohawk. (I guess she told me huh?)Anyhoo I used Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Coconut Oil and water from my spray bottle to get this lookEnjoy! … [Read more...]

I will soon be in the market for a new smartphone and while browsing all the phones that are compatible with my carrier T-Mobile I came across the LG DoublePlay™ Some of the features I am looking for in my new phone are: a touch screen, I like that the LG DoublePlay™ comes equipped with 3.5 inch main display.
