***Using heat (diffuser/blow dryer) is just a option. I prefer my curls stretched and I find that it gives more body and decreases tangling...for me.***

 

Products Used:

Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner as a leave in

Clear Eco Styler Gel

Coconut Oil

The title is pretty self explanatory. This is just a simple demo of how I do my weekly deep conditioning. Giovanni's Nutrafix is used in this video for review purposes only, it is not my staple DC. On a normal day I would use Bee Mines Deep Conditioner or Aubrey Organics GPB Balancing Conditioner. With a little coconut oil those conditioners are magical lol!

Enjoy :)

*In another video, yet to be edited, I'll be showing how I set my braids for braid outs!

Just a random video showing how my kinks revert back and showing how some don't...yikes!!! Enjoy :)

This review is courtesy of NaturallyCurly.com. I was NOT paid for this review and my opinions are 100% honest.

The video is pretty self explanatory and I included some flat ironing tips as well. As it states in the video I recorded this tutorial on 11/24 and maintained the look up until 12/14 by simply sticking to a very simple night routine of pin curling. I recorded clips of that process as well and I hope to get it edited and uploaded asap.
 Check out the video after the jump! Enjoy :)

This video was recorded on 11/11 right after I took my twists out. I used clear Eco Styler Gel, Kera Care's Leave In Conditioner and Kera Care's Butter Cream Everyday Moisturizer. Awesome combination!!! The video shows the entire process and I made sure to include lots of tips :)
Enjoy and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

I finally got around to snipping those pesky dry ends that I mentioned in my "Tension Blow Drying" video. This trim was wayyyy over due, but better late than never, right? So...early last Saturday (10/22) I gave a myself a trim by snipping off an 1/2 an inch all over. How did I do it you ask? Well, continue reading for a short video of me explaining the steps I took. I must warn you though, I was tired and not looking to cute AT ALL, so like a good neighbor please look past the bags under my eyes :) Enjoy!

So there's no confusion....please note that these videos were recorded when my twists were 2 weeks, today I hit the 3 week mark!

Have a great weekend ladies & gents :)

Hey guys...long time no postings eh?? I've been a little busy, but I did finally find some time to record this tutorial for all you twist lovers out there. I'm already 2 weeks into this set and they're holding up quite nicely. After the jump you'll find some pics of them freshly done and a few I took yesterday. Enjoy the tutorial and keep an eye out for the bonus clips :)

 

Steps I took prior to and during blowdrying...
•Shampoo with Elucence Moisture Benefits Shampoo
•Condition with Elucence Moisture Balancing Conditioner
•DC with Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner
•Detangle & Rinse
•Apply Kera Care Leave In (recently reviewed)
•Apply Grape seed oil
•Braid (to keep the hair from tangling)
•Cover with a Curls Like Us towelette or allow it to air dry until damp
•Take one braid down at a time and began blowdrying on low heat. Comb when you feel it's necessary.
•Done, now go enjoy your big blow out :)
