Even though, I've only had my mini twists in for a week, I decided to wash them. My intention was to do a mini-twist rod set, but I figured I'd show the wash 'n' go method for this blog. I used my Castile Soap mixture to cleanse my hair. I added about 1/4 cup of Coconut Oil to the mixture (by accident lol), but it worked.   First, I  banded my hair in about 7 sections and prepooed using Castor Oil. Afterwards I rinsed my hair and applied the Castile Soap mixture though my parts and massaged my scalp. Then, I deep conditioned my hair (using my conditioning cap). After washing the conditioner out, I applied a leave in conditioner and Castor Oil to each section and ran my fingers through the twists and let the hair hang lose. I usually apply a moisturizer on top of the leave in conditioner, but I forgot that part this time lol (oops!).  I really liked the shrinkage!

Happy Monday everyone, Yesterday, I two-strand twisted my hair. I wanted to share the preparation and products for my mini twists. I pre-pooed with Tea Tree Oil (scalp) and Castor Oil on my hair, especially the ends. I covered my head with a plastic cap and sat under the dryer. Then I shampooed my hair. Afterwards, I deep conditioned with both the Organic Root Stimulator and Organics Mayonnaise because I had a little bit of each left lol. Then, I sectioned my hair off and applied the following to each section: Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Leave-In Cantu Coconut Curling Cream Cococare Castor Oil  ( I especially love Castor Oil because it is thick) The method above is an example of the LCO method which stands for Liquid, Cream, and Oil moisturizing method. The oil seals the moisturizers so that your hair doesn't dry out. Afterwards, I banded my hair. I used the Conair Ionshine 1875 blow dryer on the low/cool settings. I started at the back sections blow drying the...

My sister C and I have both been natural for almost two years. I transitioned for 4 months and then did the Big Chop. But, she transitioned slowly with the help of wigs. C clipped her hair gradually until she was completely natural. Although her hair was long, she was not happy with it being thin. So, she wore wigs. Two weeks ago, she sent me pics of her hair (without the wig) and I was too excited lol. Since I experienced heat damage after flat ironing, she told me the way in which she prepared her hair for flat ironing.   The first thing she did was apply the Repair Conditioner by Doo Gro to her hair and put a plastic cap on. She kept the product in her hair for 2 hours. Then she applied the Cholesterol Plus Conditioner by LeKair and slept with it in her hair overnight. This was definitely something I should have done before flat ironing. In the morning, C washed the products out of her hair and blow dried it. Then she oiled her scalp with the Do Grow Hair R...

Happy Election Day everyone! By the end of today, I hope that everyone will have voted for the next president of the United States! In hair news, I've been wearing mini twists for the past two weeks. I wore it in a puff with a headband today. This past weekend, I took them out, washed, deep conditioned, moisturized, sealed, and stretched my hair. I tried the Milk Protein & Olive Oil Really Deep Conditioning Treatment , and   I will be doing a review in another post. The cold snap has caused my hair to be very dry. So, I might start using Shea Butter mixed with oil as a sealant after applying a moisturizer.  What natural hairstyle are you wearing today?
