Pompadour/Janelle Monae Inspired Look

Ok so I had this mini rant in my last blog entry about lacking creativity in styling my hair. Well this morning I was inspired by the pompadour look and decided to put a little Janelle Monae into it (can't wait for my hair to get to her length man), and Voila I came up with this look.

How to achieve look:
1. I sectioned out some of my front hair and did jumbo two strand twist before going to bed and wrapped it up.
2. In the morning I took out the twists and comb it out and made like a bun thing in front of my hair
3. Slicked the side down with gel and held with bobby pins (Bobby pins are my best friends).
4. Attached my flower headband to give it that chic look and off to church I went.

Note: Random Hairstyles are best.

Thank you and I will continue to post different styles so stay tuned and moisturized.

Even a Natural Hair Blogger can be Confused

Yes people I need help deciding on a hair style for church tomorrow because I am giving the wig a rest. I am mighty confused and lack the creativity in coming up with styles :(. Well I just have my hair in a twist out fro and I am thinking of first moisturizing it with water and my shea butter mixture to bring it back to life. My next mission will be to then figure out a style by drawing inspiration from somewhere and giving it my own spin.

Well with that said wish me luck!!!

I hope to post pictures of the outcome. Continue to stay moisturized and please do not forget to click on the link below to support your girl.

Product Spotlight: Elasta QP Mango Butter

Ok I had to start up this product spotlight addition on the blog because there are some products that I have been using for more than a month and had to share with you guys. So the product is by Elasta QP and it is the Mango Butter moisturizer and I swear by this product when I say it leaves my hair so silky soft it ain't no joke. I mostly use it when I do my two strand twists and it keeps my hair soft and moisturized, even makes my twist-outs defined with sheen. On a scale of 10 I give this product a solid 10, because anything that leaves my hair soft and moisturized without the greasy look is a keeper. oh and did I forget to say it smells so good!

Protective Hairstyles and Update on my hair.

Hello hello i'm back yes i'm back. Okay about protective hairstyles, which are first of all very necessary to do if you intend to give your hair a break. Protective hairstyle are styles that protect the ends of the hair from rubbing against your clothes or protecting against harsh elements due to its vulnerability to break off. The other thing about protective hairstyling is that it is great for retaining length. Now it can only retain length if we take good care of our hair and not add too much stress to it. Taking care of our hair is not just washing it and putting on a protective style and calling it a day, it is when we actually give it the extra attention it needs such as making sure it is always moisturized and refraining from extra pulling or tight styles. We need to keep our hair moisturized and not leave it dry to be damaged by our protective styles. It is important that if we must protect our hair with styles such as buns, phonytails (drawstring ponytails), wigs (full and half), sew-in weaves, Rollersets, Braids, cornrows, updo's or pinned up styles, braidouts, bantu knots and twistouts, we must take care of our hair from the inside out.

The reasons protective hairstyles are important are as follows
1.Keeps our hair hidden away.
2.retains moisture into our hair.
3.Keeps it from drying out.
4.Prevents splits ends.
5.Needs less combing and brushing.
6.Causes less breakage.


As part of my hair update, I want to say currently I have been on a protective hair challenge and the first phase was just doing a two strand twists and tucking my hair away. As of today onward I decided to do something different and not only did I two strand my hair, I also decided to cover it up with a half wig. Yes people your girl is wigging it out this summer and I love it because it is something different, and you know I loves my curly styles.

Remember ladies it is not so much that we protect our hair with these styles, but that we actually keep our own hair in healthy conditions. Look at it this way why protect your hair and in the end come out with your hair being unhealthy and having to start from scratch. Until next time continue to remain moisturized.
