This weekend's style (Jul22)

I am cornrow challenged so most of my styles will be two strand flat twist... :) I wanted my hair pushed back in the front and two strand twists in the back.

This style wasn't too difficult. I made two medium sized flat twists on each side of my head. I made a zig-zag part in the middle area of my head and at the beginning of each of the zig-zag points is where I started the flat twists twisting toward the middle of my head. The rest of the hair in the back was two-strand twisted.

Products used:

Rat-tail comb for parting

Denman brush for making sure the hair was in order while twisting

Gel Mixture (ORS gel, Royal roots twist gel, Jamaican mango & lime twist gel)

Organic Extra Virgin Coconut oil

This is what I came up with:

I will keep the two-strand twists in the back in for 1 week and then do a twist out in the back and maintain the front flat-twist.

Combs & Brushes

This may have been posted a million times on various blogs but I just loved the comb and brush information on this website!

Combs and Brushes 101

I just love love love the Denman brush! I use it anytime my hair is full of conditioner and I want to detangle my hair.  I think I only use a comb when I part my hair, which is very rarely! The Denman brush creates chunky curls in my hair!  Love it! I get my Denman D4 brushes from Sally's BSS. Try it!

No more loc's

I know its been a few months without my hubby's locs... but ohhhh how I miss them so!

Below is the last time I re-twisted and styled his hair... :(  When I asked him why he wanted to cut them, he said "God wants to do a new thing in me"... How could I argue with that? 

I can't say that I don't hope he changes his mind and grows them back! LOL We shall see!

Now...

CreamSickle Swirl...

I did this design a few months ago, but decided to post it anyway! Loved it! :)

I used Orly Nail Bonder
Followed up with Chelsea by Zoya
Then used a nail dot tool with black and white nail polish to create the dots
Finally used 1 rhinestone per nail to create the look below:

♥ Red Curls ♥

I think I mentioned that I use the Matrix line to color my hair.

In the below picture, I have washed, conditioned, blow dryed and flat ironed my hair.
Then I took medium sized chunks of hair and used the rollers below to create the curled look.
 I curled my hair like this every night. For me, it takes about 10-15 minutes to curl it all... or if you want a looser curl, just throw on your bonnet and don't worry about the curlers and it still looks great!

Got these from Walmart! Make sure that any foam roller that you may use is satin wrapped!  That will ensure  your hair will not dry out nor will it break off in the foam on the roller. 

 

I just ♥ these curlers! 

 Here's the Curls that the above curlers produce:
