Follower's Blog

Its ironic, I just checked one of my follower's blog only to realized that she has been wearing her hair in a comb out hairstyle (similar to mine) for the christmas holiday.  Checkout her post.  She also has another post about how to french braid (this is the name of the plaits I braid my hair in at night) your hair for yourself, check out the post with the video.  I think the video was well done and quite simple.

Pictures Of New Setting Style - Simple And Effective To Style My Relaxed Hair


In my last post I wrote about my latest technique of styling my relaxed hair.  I am enjoying this one too.  Today I am posting some pictures so you can see what it looks like.  Now keep in mind that I took these pictures at the end of the day PLUS it was very windy today so my hair was all messed up when I went out for lunch today.  But at the end of the day it was still looking good.

This is the way I plait my hair at night (see photo above), as you can see I did not even create a straight path but it does not matter.  I then secured the ends by twisting them into a little Bantu Knot and then securing them with a hair tye.

The next  morning I just finger combed my hair.
As much as I like Bantu Knots, I have realized that it looks better and I have more control when my relaxer is about approximately 6 weeks old.  After a touch up I think I will use this braiding method.

ORS Carrot Oil

Hey, I posted some Organic Root Stimulator (ORS) Carrot Oil and I applied some to my hair last night.   I then braided my hair in two vertical corn rows. 


This morning, I unplait my hair and finger combed it.  I was very pleased with the results.  My hair looked nice and wavy.  The only problem was that the weather was a bit damp so my waves became  a little loose soon after.  But guess what?  I will be doing my hair like this for the rest of the week!

Signature Bun

As much as I try to avoid combing my hair in one every day,this bun looks cool and simple, I must give it a try. The only thing is my hair is not as long as this model so my bun will not look as full and thick as hers.
