One Wash N Go and Three Days of Wear

Hello everyone!  I've been wearing my hair in a wash n go this week after wearing my flat twist out for three days.  I love wearing my hair in a flat twist out, but it only looks good for two days.  That third day was me being totally lazy.  Well the temps have been all over the place here in MN.  From below freezing and single digits to above freezing and warm for January.  So, the wash n go has been comfortable to wear wet if I pick the right morning to wash my hair, which of course is what I did this week.

Left is day one, middle day two and right day three.

Well, since my hair has been filling in nicely I decided to start playing with a center part.  I think that I'm pulling off the look without the spot being noticed pretty well.  I wore clips in my hair to hold the curls out of my eyes because my hair is getting longer (fist pump in the air) and I achieved this look with just conditioner.  No gel!  This time last year I was an Eco Styler gel wearer and I loved it!  Now, I'm busy and find that every gel I use eventually flakes but my conditioner is clear and stays clear until I wash it out. 

I'm finding that for me gel is better for the humid months when I want hold and no frizz.  I also like to use it to slick down my edges when I wear a puff, pony tail, or bun.  Now to be honest yes, I did spray some water in my hair and I did smooth some conditioner into my hair to revitalize my curls, but this is basically the curly girl method so that is not anything new.  Overall, my wash n go's keep there shape and slowly friz out, and softens as it frizzes.  My twist outs only look good on day one and start to look matted and undefined by day two.  That's okay a little bit, but by day three I'm starting to look like a hot mess!  I'm a professional and I need to look presentable.  So, I have to get creative by pinning up the sides and pulling my hair up into a puff, which is alright.  While my wash n go's are still rocking and looking awesome with no modifications on day three.  Let me know your thoughts, just be nice.   Until next time...

Blessings!

My First Bun...The Good and the Cold

Hello everyone!  This past Friday I decided to do my first bun.  After blow drying my hair on New Year's Day I had this big fluffy hair that really showed it's length.  I then did a Bantu Knot out that was quite lovely with all my cascading curls.  For Friday I decided that I wanted to do a bun, so Thursday night I made a visit to Sally's and got a donut.   I totally cheated because I have never worn a bun and I wanted it to look good and install easily.  

 So, I did a bun on the back of my head.  I really liked the look, but there are some real pros and cons to wearing your hair up. 

Pros:  Protective styles that have your ends tucked away is great for length retention.  Sleek elegant buns can give you a very professional sexy look.  This bun was really easy to install and took only a few moments.  I felt like this style really put my face on display and if you like to play with makeup this is the look to show it off.

Cons:  It is really cold here in Minnesota and that wind blowing on my ears, neck and quite frankly my head brought tears to my eyes!  I can't emphasize how cold it is up north here.  I have a thyroid problem and I'm always cold to begin with, then 8 degrees windy weather makes it worse.  The bun didn't allow me to wear a hat and I ended up wearing a scarf and head wrap, but I didn't realize how wearing my hair down keeps me warm.  I also ended up applying a lot of gel to keep those flyaway hairs down.  This means that I will have to rinse out my hair to get all that crunchy out.  So, this was a one day style for me unless I'm wearing a bun the whole week.

I really like my new earrings!

I don't want it to seem like I'm complaining, because I really liked this look.  I just feel for me I need to consider doing this in the summer or warmer days. 

I'm finding that what works for me doesn't necessary work for others.  I can wear a wash n go with great curl definition, but my two strand twist outs can be hit or miss especially on day two.  My wash n go's get big and fluffy, I can wear them for days and I can do things like puffs, pinned up sides, and pompadours with little effort.

But, my two strand twist outs look good on day one and go down hill after I have slept on them.  Even when I pineapple!  Only my flat twist outs look good for a couple of days and that's because I re-twist every night.  I simple don't want to give the time and effort to re-twist two strand twists every night, so my twist outs just look slept on after day one.  Never fluffy or full looking. 

My hair is still wet, so those curls shrunk up something fierce.  This is my WNG from 1/5/2013

On a completely different topic, I want to show everyone my wash n go after doing my blow out earlier in the week.  This look was achieved with conditioner no gel applied.  Being that this was the first time I straightened my hair with heat I wanted to make sure my curls would bounce back and they did!  I really liked my stretched out hair with the Bantu Knot out and I think I will be exploring banding and African threading methods to stretch my hair without heat.  But, I can't beat how pretty my curls are when I do a wash n go.  Until next time...

Blessings!

Bantu Knot Out on my Blown Out Stretched Hair

Bantu Knots and tough sleeping.

Hello everyone!  Can you tell that I'm not in school right now.  Even though I'm back to work, my grad classes don't start until February and since I'm waiting for my textbook to be shipped to my I totally feel like I have a ton of time for myself.  Yep pee!  Anyway, with this extra time I have been playing with my hair.  Which means I got to watch some YouTube videos and though, hey I can do that!  So, with my big fluffy blown out hair I did about 12-14 Bantu Knots all over my head last night before I went to bed with my satin scarf and for back up my satin pillow case.

I will admit that I watched one of KimmayTube's videos and decided to try her method since I had this blown out big hair going on.  In the morning I poured some jojoba oil on my hands and took the knots out.  After separating the knots a little (being careful to avoid frizz) I ended up with this finished look below.

Can I say luscious, wavy, cascading curls.  What more can a girl ask for from a Bantu Knot out!

Well, I absolutely love the results!  I got these cascading wavy curls and got to keep the fullness and volume of my big hair.  All I can say is WOW!  Now that hubby of mine was kinda pawing at me.  Touching my hair and sniffing my neck.  I thought he was going to take a bite out of my neck because he wouldn't leave me alone.   I first thought it was the delicious turkey pot pie I made today, which could of contributed to the sniffing.  Big hair I guess equals lots of attention, or he feels like he can pet me because usually I'm telling him not to touch (my hair) because I don't want my curl definition to be messed up.

Anyway, at school it was either "I love it!", or "What did you do with you hair?", or the safe comment "I like your flower".  I found that throughout the day I was constantly pushing my bangs out of my eyes.  Hello, that hasn't happened in over two years!  I find that with the Bantu Knot out, my hair continued to fall and get bigger.  The next time I try this I should probably do more knots or separate the knots less.  I don't know if I will get to wearing a bun this week.  With awesomely wavy hair and the cold temps, down may be in order.  Until next time...

Blessings!

Well I did it!

Happy New Year everyone!  I can't believe I let my son stay up until midnight last night.  He didn't get crabby and he loved watching the ball drop in New York Times Square.  We had some friends over that we hadn't seen in a while and it was an evening of eating junk food playing Sequence and catching up with some friends.  They are empty nesters and we have a three year old.  Surprisingly, our ages aren't that much apart.  They got married and had children young and the hubby and I didn't.

Anyway, I decided to co-wash and blow out my hair this morning.  After watching several YouTube videos about flat ironing and seeing how long that took I decided to use my curling iron instead of flat ironing my hair.  The process took almost two hours and my arms were exhausted by the time I finished.  I knew my hair wouldn't be bone straight  because I didn't flat iron, but then this is the closest I have felt to feeling like Dina Ross.

Wet hair before blow out.

So, I used my leave in conditioner Aussie Moist, but I added some Castor and Jojoba Oils to my conditioner.  I then sprayed some heat protector from the Aussie line.  I figured that since they are from the same line they should work well together.  I then sectioned my hair and used the tension method to blow dry my hair.  This method has some pros and cons.  I like that my roots are really straight, but I hated that it took a REALLY LONG time to dry.  I had my blow drier on warm and I ended up using my brush to get the ends straight.

Left my hair sectioned and right all done with blow out.

So, I took a little break after drying my hair to rest and cool off before I sectioned and started the curling process.  This was much quicker and I used a big barrel iron 1.5 inches.  My curling iron has setting from 0-25.  I set my iron at 19 and prayed that it wouldn't be too cool or too hot.  The heat protector says to use on wet hair and I made the mistake of spraying a little on my dried hair.  My hair started to revert back to it's curly state and I had to blow it out again.  As I ironed my hair I only ran the curling iron through my hair once.  I just wanted a little curl to bring the ends under and to give my hair some style.

I sectioned my hair, and curled each section under to get a soft big hair look.

So, after almost two hours from start to finish my hair is blown out and curled.  It's super big and lots of volume.  I will see how long I can wear it like this, but I have no plans to use any more heat to maintain this look.  I've been wanting to play with some buns and maybe this big hair is long enough to do that this week. 

Since I had to cook today I ended up pulling my hair back and clipping it to get it out of my face.  This process has allowed me to look at my hair and see that my ends are pretty healthy.  After spending several hours straightening my hair I don't think I want to do this again for a long time.  I can wash my hair, condition and two strand twist my hair in half the time it took for me to blow dry and curl.  This just reminded me that I don't want to be a slave to a hair drier, flat iron, or curling iron ever again.  Please let me know your thoughts, just be nice.  Until next time...

Blessings!

Two Strand Twist Out for Hubby's Birthday!

Hello everyone!  I'm feeling very blessed to have some time to blog!  Last week I finished up my first semester of Grad classes and earned straight A's.  I did so well that my adviser is recommending me to do another independent study with a very well known gifted and talented author and teacher next semester.  She is currently writing four books and teaching!  Wow!

Christmas was a blast here in cold MN and even colder in ND.  Christmas day was -7 in ND and I was missing warm and balmy MN that was 9 degrees.  I feel very blessed to have wonderful friends and healthy family, but I need a vacation from my vacation.  Anyway, I haven't posted anything about hair in a while so here is my two strand twist out I did today for my hubby's birthday. 

Dec.29, 2012 two strand twist out.

My hair is getting longer and I'm noticing that my hair grows faster in the summer and slower in the winter.  No complaints from me.  I'm just happy that my hair is healthy.  I could live without the fairy knots (single strand knots).  I looked back at my blog and saw that I haven't done a two strand twist out on my entire head since this past summer.  Below is a picture of the last two strand twist out.

June 12, 2012 two strand twist out.

As you can see my hair has grown a lot since June 2012.  When I pull the curls down in the front, my hair is now curling around my chin.  Almost ten inches now and I'm thrilled!

My birthday is in a couple of weeks and the hubby out did himself this time.  I'm huge on quality time with the ones I love and since I don't need or want for any material things the hubby arranged for me and 25 of our friends and family to volunteer at Feed My Starving Children on the Saturday before my birthday.  What better way than to pack food for hungry children all over the world for your birthday party!

On a different note, I'm considering flat ironing my hair for my birthday.  Of course my mother wants me to relax it again (NEVER happening again mom), but maybe a once a year thing during my birthday month .  I'm not sure yet.  Kinda scary to go this long with curls and then risk the possible damaging effects of flat ironing.  Pipe in and let me know what you think.  I respect my natural hair readers, just be nice.  Until next time...

Blessings!

I think I'm in love...well at least a style I really like!

Hello everyone!  I'm totally loving my hair in flat twist outs!  I find that I can control the direction of how my curls will lay better with a flat twist out then a two strand twist out.  I have also learned to cheat a little by just re-twisting just the front.  The results are that my hair gets fuller and fuller as the days go by.  In the last two weeks I think I have worn my hair in a flat twist out on about 10 of those days.

I took these pictures last Thursday and my son demanded to be in a picture.  So, I swooped him out of the tub, tossed a towel on him and snapped a quick picture.  Of course he is chewing on his new car from grandma.  My son loves it when I take a picture of him with my digital camera and then show him the picture.  Until next time...
Blessings!

Flat twist out and loving it!

Ignore my wierd face, I'm just trying to get a good picture of my hair.

 Hello everyone!  The hubby and I both had teacher convention today so we got to spend the day together and actually have lunch alone without our toddler!  Last night I was debating what to do with my hair because I usually co-wash on Wednesdays, but didn't because I was loving my two strand twist out.  So, since my two strand twist out was getting fuzzy I decided to try some flat twists. 

Last night I put nine flat twists in my hair, sprayed a little water (focus on little) on the twists and went to bed on my satin pillow.  This morning I decided to take the flat twists out before I got in the shower to see how they looked and I was in love!!  I still thinking this is the bomb!

 As you can see from the collage, I'm loving this style!  It was wet and drizzly so my hair is even bigger than it was this morning when I left for the convention.  I think plump is a good word to describe how my hair felt after being outside.

Flat twist out before misty weather made it fuller.

I liked the (wet) two strand twist out, but this flat twist out is awesome.  My hair is stretched a little, the curl pattern is lovely and my hair is soft and bouncy.  It only took me about 20 minutes to install the flat twists and that was because I was trying to make the front parts consistent and even.  The back was just part and twist.

This look will easily start coming into the rotation of styles, I just need to figure out how to maintain it for a couple of days.  Until next time...
Blessings!

Church hair - twist out

Hello everyone!  It's been awhile since I've posted anything about my hair.  Well, yesterday I decided to two strand twist my whole head and today I wore a twist out.  At first, I looked at my results and didn't know what I was going to do with my hair.  So, I separated my hair and fluffed out the roots and added my signature flower.

The hubby liked the look.  I think partly because he didn't want to be late for church this morning and because he liked the different style on me.  He actually asked we what this style was called!  The man amazes me sometimes.  He has been listening to me ramble about my hair and the different styles I have been doing.  I heard him on the phone to his mother explaining that I was wearing my hair in a "twist out" today and it looked good.

It only took me about 30 minutes to make about 25 twists in my hair.   All I used was my Aussie Moist conditioner as my leave in and then I started to twist my hair.  I think that tomorrow I will like it even more the bigger it gets.  I took a picture of the back of my head and as clear as day my grays are sticking out and waving at me.

The ends of my hair have a nice coil and then I notice those grays.

Until, next time...
Blessings!

How I've been wearing my hair lately

Hello everyone!  First of all I want to thank everyone for the prayers for Keith and his family.  I plan to do a post about him sometime this week.

It has been a long time since I posted anything about my hair.  About three weeks.  So, I went through my camera and noticed that I had three different pictures on the exact same style that I wore on three different days.  It's basically a wash n go (about 2-3 days old) style with the bangs in a flat twist and of course a flower.

I'm amazed that I basically tip my head the same way and that this style basically comes out the same way every time.

Next, is a flat twist out from the picture on the right.  I liked the way my hair was stretched and the overall look was big hair.  

Today I wore a wash n go.  Simple and the curls are very nice.  The weather is gorgeous and I decided to take a walk along the creek by my house.  The trees are changing and the leaves are worth maybe a drive to check out.

Thank you for following me even though I haven't posted a lot lately.  Until next time...
Blessings!

One wash n go ... three great looks

Hello everyone!  I started my grad classes this week and I'm blown away with all the reading I need to do.  My independent study will be more work than taking a class, but I didn't want another evening class.  Seeing my hubby and spending time with my boy is too important.  I woke up at six this morning and realized that this was the end of my third week of being back to work.  I observed that it was dark outside and that three weeks ago the sun was up.  I went snow boot shopping with my son today and the high temp today was only 68 degrees.  So, for me summer is officially over and winter will be here sooner than I want and fall (even though it's beautiful) is just a reminder that winter is almost upon us.

Anyway, I did my usual wash n go this week and I got three great looks out of it.  The first two photos are my wash n go from my nephew's birthday party on Saturday that I posted this past Monday.  I simply pinned the sides with a barrette on top of my head, made a pompadour with my bangs, and added a flower (of course).  Besides a low grade headache four hours later, this was an easy quick style and I will do it again.  Next time, I will figure out how to do this without the headache.

This next group of pictures is day two and day three hair.  The top row is day two.  I decided to twist my bangs that were in the pompadour into about nine small twists before I went to bed.  I sprayed a little water and slept in my silk scarf.  In the morning I took my twists out, pulled my hair into a puff, and add my new purple flower.  Cute style and I got a lot of compliments on my new flower and earrings.

For day three hair.  I didn't do much.  I didn't re-twist, I just went to bed with my silk scarf, pulled my new headband on and fluffed my hair.  I also got some compliments on this look.  I love how my hair is bigger, but the curls are still popping!  If you look closely in the back my grays are sticking out.  I don't care.  I even have a few in the front.  So.  I love this new headband.  It's just tight enough to hold my hair back, without slipping or causing a headache.  I love the fact that my hair is long enough to have bangs!  The extremes in MN tempatures this week had me in shorts and then wool socks today.  I'm loving the fact that I can wear my hair up or down so I can be warm or cool.

My son and his zucchini.  I love this picture.

On a totally different topic.  A neighbor of mine shared some zucchini with us and my son wanted to be a big boy and carry it home.  This large zucchini was too heavy for him, so I had to help him out.  I had to get a picture of him with this zucchini.  I plan to make zucchini bread this weekend, but first I got homework and reading.  Until next time...
Blessings!

Pinned Up Sides

Wearing my flower and butterfly earrings for the party.

Hello everyone!  This Labor Day weekend was my nephew's 5th birthday.  My son and I fought Friday night traffic to ND for the party Saturday afternoon.  I decided to stick to my routine and I washed my hair Saturday morning.  I did a copy cat style that I saw on Minasek's blog by MsVCharles on You Tube and I really liked how it turned out on me.  Minasek didn't like the results she got, but I liked what she did with her hair even though it wasn't the same look.  I simply pulled back the sides on top of my head and pinned with a barrette.  Then made a pompadour in the front and added a flower.  My mom even complimented me on my curls!  Which is very rare for her.

Anyway, this was an easy wash n go updo that was easy to turn into a high puff the next day.  I'm noticing that now my hair is long enough for high puffs, updo's and ponytails that I'm experiencing some low grade headaches.  I guess going over a year of wearing my hair down, my scalp is not used to the hair being piled up, pinned back, or pulled up.  Any suggestions to remedy this problem?  When I install these styles I don't feel like my hair is tight at all, but a few hours of wear seem to cause a low grade headache.  Until next time...
Blessings!

Side view and loving those curls.

Pony puff with twist out bangs

Hello everyone!  So the playing with my hair continues.  I decided to twist my bangs last night and then this morning I decided to wear my hair up in a pony puff because it has been so hot.  I took my twists out and really liked the look.  The frizz in the front didn't bother me, in fact I like it a lot! I then pinned back part of my bangs and added a flower for my finished look.  I like this look and it kept my hair off my neck on this hot day.  Until next time...
Blessings!

First high puff and pompadour...Blues look

I wouldn't be me without a flower in my hair.

Hello everyone!  With my hair growing out I have noticed that certain styles I did on my shorter hair just don't work out any more.  So, I love my curly fro hawk but it no longer looks good on me.  I did some research and found out the many naturals have been using banana clips to make fro hawks.  I purchased a three pack of clips for about $4 dollars at Walgreens and decided to play with my hair Thursday night.  Well, let me tell you that my hair may have a thinned out spot in the front, but everywhere else it is super thick.  All that clip did was snap open every time I tried to clip my hair.  So, after digging around in my hair stuff I came across some little tiny ponytail holders.  Since I was playing with my hair I thought "why not".  To my surprise I gathered all my hair and this little holder held my hair.  I was able to pull and fluff my hair to show case my curls.  This tiny little holder held my curls all day long and I never had to worry about a snapping clip and all my hair falling out.  

So, on Friday I decided to try a high puff with a pompadour in the front.  This was done on day 3 wash n go hair so I had some frizz, but still mostly curls.  I used some water to spritz my hair, then a little conditioner, and some Mop Top gel to slick the hair in the back and sides.  I used two pins to hold the pompadour down in the front. 

First of all this is my first high puff and second, I was totally blown away with the compliments.  I got so many compliments at school that I was thinking I need to do this more often.  A teacher friend of mine said my hair reminded her of Billie Holiday.  Wow!  Hello!  She loved wearing flowers and so do I.  So, I'm calling this my Blues look.  I still love my curly fro hawk and I plan to figure out how to do that style with longer hair.  As for my banana clips, well I'm thinking about donating them since I have only "tried" to wear one the other two are brand new.  Until next time...
Blessings!

First Ponytail

Hello everyone!  As my first year of being natural gets closer I have been playing with my hair.  Since the curlformers basically stretched my hair out I decided to try to pull ALL my hair into one ponytail.  This morning I used some water and gel to slick back my hair and then I gently started to gather and smooth my hair into a ponytail.  This is the first time I have gotten all my hair into a ponytail without needing any hair clips to bobby pins to hold down stray hairs.  This style really puts my face on display and my son told me seven times today that he liked my earrings.  Yeah, I counted!

First ponytail.

I was really surprised that my hair really isn't pulled all that tight.  No headaches or feeling that my edges have too much tension.  I comfortably wore my ponytail all day long and thought to myself that I could of done a ponytail two months ago. 

Now, I haven't forgotten to do an update on my Viviscal experiment.  I hope to get it done maybe tomorrow.  If not I will for sure update early next week.  My family and I are going to Adventure Camp with our church this weekend, so I will be busy.  Until next time...
Blessings

First Bantu Knot Out

First time I did Bantu Knots on my whole head.

Hello everyone!  So, I finally got around to doing Bantu knots for a knot out.  Saturday morning I shampooed and conditioned my hair with Mop Top products and then I used the leave it in conditioner from Mop Top for my wash n go.  In the evening after my hair had dried I sectioned my hair into four sections.  Then I broken down each section into three sections for the knots.  All I used was a little water and my Denman brush to detangle the ends.  I then two strand twisted each section and created a knot.  My hair isn't long enough to hold the knots in place, so I had to pin each knot.  I only did 12 knots on my whole head.  Mostly because I was trying to get my son to use the potty, brush his teeth, and get ready for bed.  This is me trying to be super mom! 

Bantu knot out.

I didn't try to make these knots look pretty.  All the parts I did with my fingers because I had no intention of wearing these knots in public.  If I hadn't of been interrupted so much, I would of gotten these knots installed in about 15 minutes.  With the interruptions it took me 30 minutes.  Not bad considering twisting my hair takes longer.

Now, let me tell you that sleeping on Bantu knots is not comfortable!  I slept as best as I could and when I woke up Sunday morning I started to take the knots out.  I started to pull the knots apart and I watched my hair get bigger and bigger.  The volume of this Bantu knot out is awesome!  I'm talking big hair, but most of the ends aren't frizzy.  I have these cute coils on the ends of my hair and this serious volume everywhere else.

I wore this look to church today.  It rained this morning and I knew it would be humid, so I rolled tucked my bangs and pinned them back with a flower.  I know y'all are shocked that I wore a flower!  Well my lady friends at church kinda gave me strange looks this morning.  One of them is a stylist and I know she was thinking "she needs to comb that hair!".  I told them that this was an intentional look and that I love it!  You know when your with people who don't like your look.  Y'all feeling me!  That fake smile and head nod they give you and then someone quickly changes the subject.  I knew they were all thinking I'm crazy to wear my hair (in public) like this, but I like this look!  I want to wear it to school/work!  The volume is unbelievable and I know that as my hair gets longer this look will evolve.  I'm loving my big hair and I'm comfortable with myself to rock a look that many people wouldn't be caught in public wearing.  This is me embracing my hair and running with a unique look that can only really happen with tightly curly hair.  This is a real journey moment for me.  A year and a half ago I would of been horrified to wear my hair like this in public.  This is me embracing beauty through different lens and not just accepting who I am, but really embracing that person.  The journey continues.  Until next time...
Blessings!

Dry Twist Out

My funky dry twists.

Hello everyone!  I said that I would update you all about my twists I installed Tuesday night.  I didn't wear the twists today because they were fuzzy and even though it's summer I still need to look presentable for work.  So, I decided to wear a twist out.  I had some serious big hair going on this morning.  I mean big fro!  I loved it, but knowing it was going to be hot and humid I decided to pin the sides back and wear a flower.  I know all of you are super surprised that I wore a flower!

Anyway, I learned something through this experience.  When I twist my hair wet and then do a twist out I get some serious definition.  When I twist my hair dry and do a twist out I get little to no definition and big hair.  My hair was stretched a little, but big.  So, in the future now I know what kind of look to expect depending on if I twist my hair wet or dry.  I'm actually thinking about trying a Bantu Knot out on dry hair because I love how big my hair got with the two strand twist out.  I think that would be a great look to wear with a headband.  Until next time...
Blessings!

Pinned Up Sides

Hello everyone!  I can finally say that my hair is getting long enough that I can pin back the sides to get a different look.  I tucked rolled the sides and pinned them down.  Of course I added a flower!  I wouldn't be me if I didn't wear a flower.  This look was inspired by Naturally Curious Midsummer Romance look.  Now I don't have the length she has to loosely twist the front or to do the pinned curls in the back, but I did my version on the length I have.  It came out nice on me and I do want to give her credit for inspiring me to do something different with my hair.








Below is the same look, but with my quick finger coils.  I used my Denman brush to help me get these curls.

I did get a picture of my niece wearing a twist out.  You may say "how come she couldn't get a better picture?".  Well this darling six year old decided that she didn't want to pose of any more pictures so, I had to sneak pictures of her when she wasn't paying attention.  I liked her twist out, but she wouldn't let me play with her hair any more.  Eating ice cream and playing were at the top of her to do list, so I relented with just a quick shot of her.

Twist out on my niece.

I spent about 40 minutes twisting my hair and I will decide before I go to work if I will wear my twists, do a twist out, or start over and do a wash n go.  Before I go to bed Monday I will try to take some pictures of my twists and if I wear a twist out I will take pictures.  Until next time...
Blessings!
