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:

 

The next day... in dim light:

2 Flat Twists & A Bun

I just ♥ this style!

It takes me only 10 minutes to complete after a wash or co-wash and it looks cute too!

1. In the picture below I co-washed my hair, moisturized and sealed with Jane Carter's Nourish and Shine and Coconut Oil.
2. Parted my hair from ear to ear and made a part almost like a "T" but slanted in the front.
3. Two-Strand flat twisted the first one starting at the front of my head and the other starting at the middle of my head to make a swirl effect in the front.
4. Put the back portion of my hair in a ponytail
5. Wrapped the 2 front twists around the ponytail
6. Finally, gathered all of the hair into a neat lil' bun
7. Secure with a bobby pin and you are done!

 

Here is an ALTERNATIVE to the above 2 flat twists & a bun look.
