Vertical Corn Row

This is my daughter with her hair braided in vertical corn rows that she did herself. She is very good at that. The next picture is of her with the corn rows all combed out.  But before she did that, she put a curling rod at the ends of her hair to get that curl effect at the ends of her hair.

Lap Pet


I was invited to a function a few nights ago so I decided that since my hair was not looking the way that I would like it to look with my Bantu Knots comb out, I decided to purchase this hair piece. My son does not like it. She said that I looks a Lap Pet. I had to ask him what was that and he said that it is those dogs that people hold up in their arms like little dolls!

The picture to the bottom right is come costume jewellery that I purchase to attend to the function.  They are quite unique and I just had to showcase theme.  The wrist band looks quite good on my hand as my wrists are a bit on the chubby side.

Old Self

I am back to my old self again.  This is how I styled my relaxed hair to go to work on Christmas Eve.  The only thing that I did different this time is that I did not put any leave in conditioner in my hair.  That may have been the problem.

Bad Hair Week

Well I don't have any good hair news to report. As a matter of fact I have been having a bad hair week.  I don't understand. I washed my hair but the results of my Bantu Knots comb out (which I really enjoy) are not looking very pleasing to me at all.  Now I was invited to a function on Sunday and I don't know how to style my hair.  But I however have a quick fix solution but would not tell you right now.  I will surprise you withsome pictures in my next post.  I sure I am going to look 'hot'.

Well last night I shampooed and conditioned my hair because it was feeling a bit itchy.  I towel dried a bit, applied some coconut oil moisturizer and castrol oil, combed it back in one and tied my head.  I will be combing my hair in one until I can figure what to do with my hair next.

Front Lace Newbie

This video was created by one of my dear followers.  It is about her review about a hair attachment that can be used if you wear your hair natural and just want a temporary 'fix me up' or your hair is relaxed and you have a special function to attend but do not have the time or funds to go to your hair dresser.

All In My Mind??

For the past two days, I notice that my hair is feeling sort of thin as if I was loosing my hair.  Maybe it is to heavy with my Castol Oil and Coconut Oil.  So I washed and roller set my hair last night.  Hopefully I should feel a difference tomorrow.

If I have time tomorrow, I think I will deep conditioner my hair.  I will keep you posted.

Curls Controlled On Relaxed Hair



I co washed my hair last night and decided to roller set it.  I sprayed it with some leave in conditioner first.    This morning, I removed the curlers and as you can see my hair is all 'high' , puffy and out of control.  
So I decided to wrap my hair and tie it for a few minutes to smooth out the curls a bit. After about 45 minutes, I removed my head tye, unwrapped my hair and combed it out.  
My curls were definitely more controlled. One of my co workers asked me what I did with it and I told her that I washed and set it.  Apparently she liked my changed look.

Pedicure



Hey everybody, I just returned from my salon and had a pedicure done.  I do this every month.  I don't want to get cracked heels and to have rough feet.  It is my routine every month to get this done.  My toes looked a little wrinkled that is because they were soaking in water.  This is also an opportunity to pamper myself.

My husband has beautiful toes and I am always admiring them.  When his toe nails get too long, I will cut them.  Then one day I said to myself, "I have beautiful toes too!!!"  I like to see my toes nails with natural nail polish - I admire their beauty that way.  I rarely used colored nail polish because they stain the nails. I was just a bit adventurous today.
