Quick Heatless Curls on Natural Hair
July 25, 2013 By 3 Comments
Hey Guys, We were headed to my aunt's house for a BBQ on the 4th of July and I needed a quick style for Jordyn's hair. The night before I put her hair in one ponytail and then whipped out my magic leverage curlers (knock off curl formers) that I purchased on Ebay. I decided to put them in her bangs too just see how it would come out. I used a water from a spray bottle and a little shea butter mix and Eco Styler gel for this style. she slept over time with a bonnet on and these are the results we got. We just separated the curls and were on our way, and that's how we achieve our heat-less curls on natural hair. Enjoy! … [Read more...]

July 6, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Hey Guys, Today's hair tutorial is a simple easy elegant updo on natural hair. When I started to do my hair I didn't have this style in mind, I just kinda winged it and came up with this. Let's get started! Notes: My hair is currently BSL (bra strap length) however this style can be achieved on shorter hair as long has you have the length to roll and tuck a bun. My hair was in an old twist out but can be in any textured state. Items Needed: two ponytail holders bobby pin/s I began with grabbing sections (I didn't part) hair on each side of my head by my ears and made two flat twists on either side of my head. I gathered them both in the middle of the back of my head and secured with a small ponytail holder. I took the remaining hair that was left down in the back and secured it into a loose ponytail adding the remaining hair that was secured already from my flat twists. Next I took the loose hair in my ponytail I just made and … [Read more...]

It just so happened that me and hubby were going to the R. Kelly and New Edition concert that night at the Staples Center in L.A. for the BET Live weekend and my hair was already flat ironed. Here is my attempt, it actually looks nothing like hers, boo! :( but I still liked it and it definitely added interest to my otherwise boring ponytail I parted the front part of my hair from ear to ear and made a total of three rolling twists on each side of my head (near my hairline and/or ears) I criss crossed the twists in the back of my head under my ponytail. Then I added a little extra hair from the bottom of my ponytail to wrap around the ponytail. I am going to try this … [Read more...]
