May Have Found My Match!!!

I think I may have found my match... when it comes to weave of course lol. I would like to give you all a review but they are currently out of stock. However I did want to share this company with you check out the webiste and their instagram page and look at their hair options.

Enjoy!!!

Another Cut!!!

So I know I'm late with this post because the video is dated in May and its clearly about to be July (can't be on top of everything). But I literally watched this youtuber IvyCharlaine grow her hair from neck length hair to down her back hair, and she cut it off back to where she started her journey. Starting to notice that people do acquire change for a reason, either they are bored or just need something new. I myself have experienced this throughout my life, I have had my hair super long (bra strap length) got bored and cut it into a bob. Not just once or twice but a like five times and my hair grows back. My problem however is right after I cut it I relapse and panic. Literally I start to question myself like why did you do that? Then my family of course chimes in because they have gotten use to my long hair. Eventually I adjust to my hair, but initially it is a pure shock that I even did it, and this before I knew anything about weaves, because I definitely would've just gotten a sew in instead of cutting my hair lol. But anyhoo enjoy the video it s amazing to see a nice amount of naturals cut their hair, it changes the real aspect of why people become natural in the first place. I truly believe that the goal is to have healthy hair not just length.

Much Love!

She Shaved it All!

Maya has done it again, this video is so candid and open that I had to share it. Just to recap she had a head full of hair and cut it all off and she is rocking her new hair cut and is super dope and pretty. In this video she addresses some of the questions that her views had and some of the questions shocked me honestly but she answered it with honesty and was like open book. I told you all to follow her lol. Of course I have the link below so watch it, I dare ya lol.

Stuck on the Twist Out

I am still stuck on the perfect twist out. I am determined to get the perfect twist out for my hair. My hair, although it appears like it has a lot of volume is actually super fine, especially when I get my ends trimmed.  I can get a trim two to three whole months ago and my ends are still flippin blunt as hell (smh). Anyhoo I have been doing different variations of twist outs (there's only two) and I like how they both turned out honestly. When I flat twist in the front the definition is greater but in the back not so much. When I twist freely in the back its super defined all around so what use to work before does not work now free twist win. Except... my ends. My ends are like stiff and straight and it doesn't blend at all and it looks to me beyond ridiculous (back to the drawing board).

So I went to YouTube of course, a natural girl haven and found a video with a lady using flexirods to twist her ends. Yes I know that you can use perm rods which are super uncomfortable for me and don't work for me at all (sad). Trying this flexiroding the ends tonight since I'm free to have to trial and error sessions. And ending the frustration today lol. The video is down below from MyNaturalSistas.

For Your Lazy Days...

Yes everyone has them, I have them you have them, EVERYONE has them... what am I talking about??? Lazy hair days. And with summer being around the corner along with working out I will be doing a whole lot of lazy styling this summer. Thankfully Curlsbf posted a lovely tutorial on a few lazy hairstyles that you and I can both use. Now the point is to make it look like you put a smidge a bit of effort in styling your hair when essentially you put about zero effort into lol!!! If you haven't subscribed to these ladies YouTube channel you definitely should, especially my fine textured naturals you could benefit from them greatly!

Enjoy!!!

Its All About the Twist Out

Love Shameless Maya, if you haven't been on her YouTube page you must be under some kind of rock. She's dope and so is her hair, which by the way she shaved off completely... yes she shaved all of it off (you go girl) and she still is super pretty! Anyhoo I'm working on day three of a wash and go and its about time to do a twistout. There are two ways to do this, you can do a flat twist or you can do a regular two strand twist.  What's the difference?  A big one if you ask me which is the main reason I have a video posted below of Maya showing the two different ways. Initially you get the same pattern but for me when I do a flat two strand twist my curls are more defined. When I do a regular twist my curls are looser and a smidge less defined.

So today and tomorrow I am going to compare the two, doing a flat two strand twist tonight and tomorrow I will do a regular twist. Like I mentioned earlier I posted a video below of Maya doing both types. I'll also be sealing my ends with coconut oil which is my fave and using my spray bottle to have less frizz and more manageability.

Enjoy!!!

HIIT

Apparently I have been doing HIIT all along without me knowing exactly to it (shrugs shoulders). My first shot at cardio was sprinting the 100 meters and jogging the bends, then I switched to jogging for 10 minutes every other day. I saw fast results in the ab area when I did my first set of cardio and the plus side is that it doesnt feel like a dragged out long process whatsoever.
So back to HIIT I go for the month of June my starting point picture is down below feel free to join me if you please and comment or post a pic of your progress.

Much Love!!!

Side Swept

Natural do for Sunday, I basically deep parted my hair and put it into two strand twists for the entire day. The following day I retwisted the side where there was less hair and let the other side be free. Simple yet easy and quick. Pics are below!

Risk It All!!!

On a recent trip to Ulta (which I love) I had the lovely opportunity to try on lipsticks, yaaaassss I'm guilty of this, you are to. After trying on a dozen lipsticks I found one (sadly) and its from Bare Minerals Moxie collection called Risk It All. Its a hot pink colour and its very rich and moisturizing, everything I need basically. Risk It All smells good to, just like chocolate (lol), and it cost like $16 or $18 bucks can't remember,  which is a tad expensive for some lipstick.  Of course there are pics below try it out for yourself!

Much Love!
