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
Always,
Curly Bella

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!

Dry Hair A Curly Girls Natural Enemy
Hello to all of my lovely naturals,
Alright so today I want to go over some things that I have come to notice during my fantastic journey. Last time I had my hair natural at the three year mark my hair was down my back, don't get me wrong my length is doing just fine but I was thinking well how did I do that? Although I did not know that much about natural hair care here is my regimen: Every week I would wash and deep condition using Motions Shampoo and deep condition with Motion's C.P.R. and detangle while in the shower. Once I got out I would "grease" my scalp with blue magic coconut oil and proceed to 2 part twist my hair. And there is where I had my epiphany wearing protective styling all year around...that was awesome and my hair appreciated it. But I was thinking "wait, but how was my hair staying moisturized" and this is where my daughter comes in....while taking down her hair today I noticed that it was fully moisturized although I had twisted it 4 days ago. So after all of these revelations I am going to keep my hair in protective styles for the remainder of the winter season. Keeping you hair in protective styles are the best way to maintain your moisture and to keep happy hair.

Stylin n Profilin: Individual Braids Placed in an Up Do
Hello to all of my lovely naturals,
First I would like to do a quick update on my lip gloss...okay its just alright so back to the drawing board. Now last week when I did my hot oil treatment I placed my hair into individual braids instead of my usual two part twists. Once I got tired of the braids I took two braids and with some whipped shea butter I placed them into twists and twisted those into bantu knots. I let the knots stay in for a couple of days and then I unraveled those and placed my curly braids into a nice up do...check out the pics below and then check out my video on youtubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=desKjK62v7s let me know what you think.

Stylin n Profilin: Protective Braids
Hello to all of my lovely naturals!
I hope that you all had a blast for the holiday, cuz I know I did : ) So for most of us it is getting colder outside meaning that the days of the wash and go are over. In order to maintain proper moisture we will need to protect our hair, we can do that by properly moisturizing and wearing it in styles that are no fuss and do not unnecessarily cause our hair to be exposed to the elements. This does not mean that you can not wear the occasional blow out, braid out, afro puff and so on and so forth. This means that you should keep your hair in a protective style for 80 percent of the week at least in order to insure that your beautiful locs will still be able to thrive. Okay so on to my hairstyle...in order to achieve this hairstyle I first sprayed my hair with some water then moisturized it with natures blessing and detangled. Then I begun my braids but I started from the bottom going up, once I was done I pin curled (my fav) the tips and tied it up. In the morning I got up and took down the middle braid by a couple of inches and poofed it up into a mini bouffant. This style can be worn for a week and a half then for the rest of the week you can wear a braid out. Oh and remember that just because you have your hair in braids does not mean that you can relax on moisturizing your hair. Check it out and tell me what you think.

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.

Girl has my hair sweated out?
Hello lovely naturals,
I hear alot of my girlfriends talk about their hair sweating out. Well the great thing about being natural is that humidity can help your hair and hair style! Remember that humidity or sweating is just moisture and moisture is what we all want for our hair. So before I work out I put my hair in chunky twists with my special leave in-conditioner mixture which is half of my Trader Joe's light conditioner, half aloe vera juice, and some olive oil (I love this mixture) and pin curl them place a head scarf over my head and have at it. After I shower I take down the twists and rock my chunky twist afro add some hair pins if you would like. With this hair style you don't have to worry about sweating out your hair while you work out the moisture will help volumize your hair for this cool hair style. Another issue that we have is while in the club you get to dancing and work up a sweat (not too much cuz that would be gross :P ) and now you have to go to the bathroom and double check that you have out of control hair. So this hair style will have to be planned a couple of days before. I twist my hair in medium/small twists and rock that for a week. Now the night before I party I take my twists, moisturize them with coconut oil, and roll them up with rollers. You can rock this curly twists for the day (super cute) the day of the party I un-twist my hair and rock my twist out. Remember that since you had medium/small twists in your hair your twists will be well defined. When you work up a sweat your twists will naturally loosen up but still keep their form. Remember naturals moisture is our friend! Please comment and let me know if you have any hair styles that work well with humidity

Home made lavender shampoo review after a day
Hello to all my lovely followers
I just had to blog about the results of my home made lavender shampoo. So as I was getting ready to twist my hair (protective hair styles for the winter time is a must!) I noticed that my curl pattern that usually frizzes away to nothing once the water had dried from my hair was still there, and my hair felt smooth,silky,moisturized and healthy. It really is a must try naturals! and it is something that I will use forever!
