away

I have been and may still be away for awhile. A very close friend of mine is going through a difficult time. The picture above of from a wknd I went to visit her. I haven't had the interest to blog as I can't get her off my mind. When tragedies occur we sometimes can only focus on the things that matter most.

Twist Style

The other day I was playing around with my hair. I was trying to find a cute updo, that didnt require too many bobby pins and one that would look nice without accessories. This style was perfect and easy, my hair is just rolled around to the side and then pinned into a bun. I added a flower just becase, but this still looks ok with the flower.

I am also wearing make-up in these pics. its not much at all, my friend Tiffany did it. I didnt want to look like a celebrity or anything, just everyday me with a lttle glam :)

My kids this morning!

I also wanted to share that my husband was making recommendations for natural hair resources. He said some of his coworkers were talking about going natural and were looking to magazines for inspiration. He told them that I was natural shared ny blog and YouTube. He also recommended curlynikki.com lol I was so proud when he told me this:)


Lastly, while picking ava up from school I heard some of the caucasion moms talking about a 5 year old girl who got a blow dryer for Christmas. The mother blow dryed her shoulder lenght curly hair to reveal almost waist length straight hair. Of course now the little girl wants her hair straightened every morning. Lol shame shame, hopefully this girls mom will not conform and have the poor girl addicted to straightening her hair

2nd trim

so I gave in... I had to wash my hair, it was so dry and lifeless. I carefully detangled my whole head while taking the twist out, then i wet my hair and "dry" detangled before I washed it. I lost a lot of hair detangling, but I expected this being as though i didnt wash and detangle in almost a month. I also trimmed my hair, I am getting so sick of those stringy heat damaged ends! Right now, my hair is in large twist. I will retwist tommorow after it dries overnight. I plan on using my shea moisture curl smoothie. Im changing my challenge up a little, but still will stick to it. I also need to do another length check because i trimmed at least an inch off in the front. I went from hair well past my chin, now only to my lips :(

ok, be back tommorow or in the next few days with pics of my twist!

now onto part two of my challenge

I am still in my twist that were originally put jb around Christmas. So far, I have washed once and retwisted just about my entire head.my hair feels ok, but I'm thinking I may need to take them out and wash then retwisted. I have been reading so many reviews on shea moisture thats making me want to pull mine out and give it another try. The other part of me however, wants to stick to my guns.... I'm torn lol anyways, I have really been thinking hard about cutting all of my heat damaged ends off. It would make my hair drastically uneven but I am so sick of strings ends. At the sane time I'm confused because when I wash ny hair All of it curls! Once its twisted and then stretched some of my ends just get none straight. They are also pretty thin. Once again I am torn.(sigh) literally lol. I don't know what to do, its been over six months and I see hardly any improvement. I have been trimming the damage off slowly but I just want to be done with it already........

Ok enough babbling, ny hair in this pic is just pulled back and up using bobby pins and a goody clip and headland. It's a simple look but inspires by kimmaytubes recent video. I am such a fan of simple hair :)
