Stylin n Profilin

Hello lovelies!

Ugh super irritated at my hubby I recorded a vid of me cutting my split ends and he deleted it on mistake...UGH!! So we will have to wait for the next time whomp whomp...anyway being a busy Mom I have run into a quick easy hair style, what good luck I have!!! So this is how it goes...I take my bottle of distilled water and my spritz (check my older posts) and place my hair in big twists then I place those in Nubian knots. I cover my hair with a scarf and then sleep the night away, this takes me all of 15 min...Once I wake up I take my hair down pull the twists apart then I rock it! I included a short vid...this is so easy!! I have been rocking this hairstyle all week long and I love it!!! Its last about two days then I just redo...check out the video and if you have any quick and easy hairstyles let me know

Healthy Hair With A Side Of Water

Hello to all of my lovely naturals,

I apologize for leaving you all high and dry but between my family getting the stomach flu and five birthdays in January and my network shutting down I had to take a break. Okay so within this time I have been keeping my hair in twists so I have had my hair in twists for about two weeks. Usually I only keep my twists in for about a week. So dealing with the fuzziness has been something that I have had to come to terms with. But all in all I love the style and I have been making the fuzziness work for me. Which brings me back to my title as I have stated before in my previous posts I am totally addicted to water and it does a body good. But something that I have started to realize is that one of the perks to having natural hair is that water is my friend long gone are the days that I have to be afraid of rain or hesitate about getting in the pool. In order for me to keep my hair moisturized while in the twists I spray it with water every other day and everyday I apply my spritzer to my hair before I hop in the shower. For the recipe to my spritzer check my other posts. The only down side to having my hair in the twists is that the middle of my head itches sometimes but other that that I love it. As I continue on my journey I am falling in love over and over again with my hair. Just the fact that I am no longer afraid of water or that when I jump in the shower I don't have to freak out if I forgot to put my shower cap on is awesome! So don't forget to drink your 8 glasses of water or just get a water bottle and carry it around with you. You know they say that it takes 1 month for something to become a habit do yourself a favor and make drinking water a habit. Oh and if you are in a bind you know where you hair is not acting right try applying some water on it. I swear you will have a new fav product!

Stylin n Profilin: Fat Twist Out w/ Twist Headband

Hello to all my lovely naturals!!!!

Okay so I apologize about not posting yesterday but I was filming my video for youtube which I posted this afternoon so check me out at MzGrimmage!!! and tell me what you think. I know that I have been posting Sun-Thurs but now that I have my youtube up and working (well it needs a little bit more work) I will have to balance or better yet juggle the two, that being said there might be some changes coming; I will let you all know when I figure it out myself. Now that's out of the way I want to show you all this easy hair do that I did for my friend and fellow blogger Metaphor. I co-washed the hair with Trader Joes Nourish Spa Conditioner and deep conditioned it with Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque. Then I hit it with my whipped shea butter and I applied my natural spritzer on it, detangled, and twisted it into about 7/8 fat twists which then were pin curled. Once everything dried (she slept on it) I put some castor oil on my fingers and un raveled the twists, poofed the hair. I sectioned off the top and twisted from one ear to the next then secured the end of the twist with a bobby pin that I hid behind her ear. In order to maintain this hair style all you need to do is twist the back part of your hair every other day (or everyday its up to you) and un ravel in the morning. Check it out drop a line and tell me what you think.

Hello to all of my lovely naturals,


Since it is winter time and I know that all of you lovely natural divas are in straight protect mode, we could all use a couple of pointers on how to make our styles last just a bit longer. After a couple of days of wearing my twist out the shaft of my hair no longer has any type of curl so what is a girl to do?!

let me know if you all have any questions or any hairstyles that you use to revamp your hair please let me know!

Natural Spritzer

Hello to all of my lovely naturals!

I was looking in my natural hair archives and thinking about the products that I love to use and I remembered that I use this spritzer whenever in doubt and in place of water to properly moisturize my hair. Please remember that when I post these natural products you can replace any oil with an oil that works best for your hair. These recipes are only an outline figure out what works for you and go for it!

8 oz spray bottle
3 oz aloe vera juice
1 oz trader joes conditioner (not necessary just about any light conditioner will do)
1/2 oz of olive oil


When I wear my wash and go I put this in my hair or when I am twisting my hair or when I need to re vamp my twist out. Let me know if you have any go to home made products and let us know if this product works for you


Thanks,

Verano
