Hola Chicas! As promised, I’m posting my SheaMoisture results. I revisited this oldie but goodie yesterday, after reading an excellent review from a flyyyy natural that uses it for twisting. I stopped using it long before I started doing regular twist-outs, so needless to say, my inner PJ was a bit curious. I’m sure you remember, but I gave away…
So, I relapsed. It’s been a while since I’ve tried something new. But all this Product Review writing has really been testing me… I’m not about to try a new product, but I’m definitely about to re-visit an oldie but goodie 😀 As you know, I gave away my mostly unused bottle of SheaMoisture Shea Leave-in to Koffee, the winner…
I’m not much of a ‘protective styler’ (placing the hair in styles that protects the ends from wear and tear)…I feel less glam when I’m in buns, twists, french braids, etc. I like my hair BIGGG and WILD at all times 😀 But, sometimes, I’ll rock this bun if I’m feeling too lazy to twist-n-curl. I still feel glam…since it’s…
Many of you have asked what my hair looked like when it was shorter… what it looked like before henna. Your wish is my command: The pics range from 11/2007-10/2006 (from top to bottom- the most recent ones are first). My hair in 2006 was just below shoulder length. This is 11/2007 after several henna treatments- I used SheaMoisture to…
Although most mornings I wake up to a frizzless, still curly, 2 or 3 day old twist-n-curl, other mornings, I’m not so lucky. So, what do I do when I can’t salvage the style, but have somewhere to go?Turn it into a Twist-n-Curl Puff!!! Several CurlyNikki readers have asked how I create this puff, so here ya go 😀 What…
Hola Chicas! As I stated in an earlier post, I’ve been experimenting lately with pure, un-refined shea butter. For the past month or so, I’ve been slicking it on the ends of my wet twists, prior to setting them on the rollers. It seems to act like a moisturizing ‘pomade’, holding my ends together and setting the curl. So, I…
Ladies, I’ve been asked by a few of you, to do a pic tutorial of my T-n-C process. I’m sitting here now with a head full of henna, and I plan to rinse, DT and style at some point tomorrow. I’ve never really taken pics in the shower (or with wet hands for that matter)- it seems like a dangerous…
I’ve been rocking what I’ve designated the ‘Twist-n-Curl’ (or T-n-C) for several months now. Not only is it a cute style, it has helped me to retain length as well. I love this style so much that I chose to wear a T-n-C on my wedding day! Routine as of April 2008: Every other day, or every three days, I…
All of my new pics and updates will be posted right here! Check back for updates 😀 For older and current pics see: http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z290/alicianlee1/ Enjoy 😀 Fall 2008 These pics are of a Day 3 T-n-C that I turned into a puff, and 1 day old T-n-C:
