3/2/15 LOTD: Flat Twist Bantu Knot Out

Happy Monday lovelies!

I'm here with a super quick post of my look for today. This weekend, I decided to try a flat twist out. However, mid-way through I began thinking about how jank the hairstyle could end up because my ends are definitely relaxed and it would be super evident in a twist out. Enter the flat twist w/ bantu knot. To make a long story short, after applying my leave-in and my moisturizer, I flat twisted my hair. Once I was done twisting, I formed a bantu knot at the very end so that my hair would have some curl. I undid my hair this morning and BAM!! My hair is curly and I think I found a new style for the spring/early summer.

I'm pretty happy with this considering that it was my first try with it. What do you think? Is this a style that you will try for yourself? Let me know in the comments below!!

YES!! A Successful Braidout!!

This post is just a quick hit but I had to share!


Who would have thought that something so simple could be so difficult to master? I finally got a decent braidout! I had to tweak the products a bit (I used a combination of Shea Moisture Curl and Style Milk and ORS Lock & Twist Gel) but I finally got the definition and hold that I wanted. I pretty much did this braidout on dry hair trying to rescue the busted braidout I had before but I cannot wait to try this product combination on damp hair.

Anyway, enough chatter. Check out my results!

Look of the Day (7/18/2011): Braidout Ponytail

Happy Monday lovelies!

The weekend went by entirely too fast and now it's time for another work week. Le sigh.

This past weekend, I plaited my hair for a braidout today. Now, I fully intended to wear a braidout today I promise I did. However, my braidout had me looking too much like Ms. Ross the Boss (*starts humming 'It's My House'*). Ordinarily, I like big hair but today, I simply wasn't feeling it. Plus, I don't know about yall but we have been experiencing a heat wave so any style that keeps my hair off of my neck is a good one.

So here is my braidout ponytail. Definitely a good Monday morning look!
