Stylin n Profilin: TWA + New Oil!!!!!

Hello hello to all of my lovely naturals,

So I must admit that I have been a little bit bias, I have forgotten about our natural men and our sista's who have just transitioned. For those of you who are currently rockin' your twa (teeny weeny afro) I wanna so go head wit you bad self. I loved when my hair was super short it was so cute and so sassy. On the other hand I feel your pain cuz eventually you get tired of the wash and go but don't fret it will all be over with in a matter of months. For the ladies that have a twa don't forget to use head bands,flowers,clips, oh and hair combs. You can also pin your hair into a fro hawk. I know that I have been preaching about protective styles, no wash n go, and moisturize but for you all with twa's a wash n go is really all you have. So here are a couple of tips: First remember that you don't have to do a wash and go all the time, after you wash you hair you can apply a leave in conditioner, then on the days that you hair is looking a little thirsty you can add water to rejuvenate. Second water is your friend sometimes whipped shea butter and castor oil are too heavy for your twa, I use to use distilled water mixed with aloe vera juice.Third invest in a light oil moisturizer ie coconut oil, sweet almond oil,jojoba oil, tea tree oil....and mix this with a heavier oil ie castor oil or olive oil...when mixing these oils remember to use more light oil than heavier oil. Keep in mind that this length is only temporary and cherish it cuz the more you hair grows the more time consuming it can be. Okay so on to the hairstyle my friend Xety came over and he is growing his hair out. Now I would be lying if I didn't say that it was a hot mess but fortunately for him I did not take any before pics. His hair was just dry you know to the point where it even looks dry and once this happens you curls just look pitiful. Make sure that you are moisturizing every day and it is super easy when you have a twa. Anyway lucky for him I was just concocting an elixir and had some left over. I was playing around with the whipped coconut oil recipe that I posted last week instead of using aloe vera juice I used castor oil and loved the results. First I sprayed his hair with distilled water and then worked in the elixir. So without further adue here is the recipe and the pics. Check it out and tell me what you think.

Always,

Verano
