1BlessedNatural: 4 Tips to Avoid Fine Natural Hair Tangle and Single Strand Knots   Hey, my blessed naturals! I hope you all are having a great Monday. If you have fine, thick, and kinky/curly natural hair (like me), then you know how difficult it is to keep tangles to a minimum. If you want to avoid single strand knots or SSKs, here are 3 tips that worked for me: 1. Keep your hair stretched. When you keep your hair stretched, your strands are less likely to wrap around themselves to create tangles.

  Happy Thursday everyone!  Yesterday, I said I was going to fore-go the headbands, but I ended up wearing one today lol.

The back didn't look too fancy lol, but it was fine for me. Before I did the updo, I tried to style my braids by leaving them a loose, but it was really not working lol. The braids still looked sparse. That's what happens when you install small braids in fine hair. I figured the curls would make a difference... Ha! I was wrong. It was a natural hair disaster, lol. So, I went along with updo! Thank God for hair pins! Have you ever had a natural hair disaster? What style did you try?
