  Hey Guys! Today's post is a quick and simple flat twist design on natural hair that I did on Jordyn. So let's get started: Part the hair hortizonally from ear to ear Take the first top section and do your flat twists, I did about 8-9 I didn't use any rubber bands to hold the twists, I just twisted all the way down. Once I finished each individual twist I gathered all the flat twist and split them into two section to make one big two strand twist to the left side of her head and rolled and bobby pinned the loose twists into a bun. For the back section of hair Imade two ponytails with two strand twists.     That's it guys! Quick and easy and cute! Enjoy! … [Read more...]

Hey Guys! It's review time! A while back I received an email with a discount code I believe it was either 20% or 25% off with free shipping to Curl Mart. So I went to their site and browsed around and then this caught my eye. Hair Thearpy Wrap Thermal Turban Heat Wrap Retail Price: $21.95 The Claim: The Hair Therapy Wrap applies gentle heat for up to 30 minutes, encouraging conditioner to penetrate the hair follicles. It helps activate treatments, hot oils, or re-constructors and can also help to control a dry, flaky scalp. You can use the Hair Therapy Wrap while bathing, relaxing, or around the house. My Thoughts: I love it! Once I inserted the gel packs, I popped the entire wrap in the microwave for about 45 seconds, let it stand for a few seconds and then reheated it for an additional 30 seconds. I've used it several times on Jordyn, while her deep conditioner is in and she has a plastic cap on I put this heat cap on and let her watch TV or dance around … [Read more...]

Hey Guys, Today's post is going to be a step by step tutorial for how we straighten our naturally curly hair. I know there are different ways and methods and so we wanted to share ours! First step is to make sure your hair is thoroughly clean, next I applied a deep conditioner and then used my Hair Therapy Wrap (review coming soon) and let it sit for an hour.     After rinsing out the deep conditioner I sectioned her hair in four sections like so:   Then I applied a small amount of leave in conditioner to each section Next I banded her hair to air dry overnight. Since I am already using enough heat with the straightening process I like skip a step if I can and for us this method of drying allows us to skip blow drying and allows the hair to be nice and stretched. The next day I took one section down at a time and begin to straighten her hair. This is what her dry stretched hair looked like after taking out a banded … [Read more...]

If I had to describe my fashion style in one word it would be evolving I really wanted to say ever-evolving but that would have been two words :) I am by no means a fashion expert or anything like that but I do have a passion for it, I try to keep some what up to date on the latest trends.

Half Up Half Down: Christmas Hairstyle

jordy christmas hair

Hey Guys! I have been on a little mini vacation from work  for the last six days, and it's been great! I've neglected the blog a little, sorry about that! But I am back sharing with you guys how Jordyn wore her hair for Christmas 2012. Her hair was already previously straightened so I opted for simple style   I started with a side part and grabbed small sections of hair around the hairline and rolled then up upward (not tightly) into a rolling twist and then I secured the two ends to back of her head with a small black rubber band and added a festive hair clip! I curled the ends with a curling iron, but you can achieve the same look with rollers. I was pressed for time so I had to use the curling iron, otherwise I would have used rollers. And here is her Christmas Outfit   Top (Christmas gift from last year) Tights (gifted by a friend) Shoes (Walmart $8)   … [Read more...]
