can we please talk about how fab this chick’s hair is??!!

can we please have this conversation, people?!

i know i cannot be the only natural who salivates at the site of her luscious locs!

this hairstyle is a must cop for naturals everywhere. it’s sooo big and pretty, and puts you in the mind of a tamer diana ross hairstyle. more modern and less, vogue and 60’s-ish; not that there is anything wrong with the 60’s.

if you have 3c hair or a looser 4a curl, you can easily do this hair with a twist-n-curl style, being sure to use bigger twist sections as this is not tightly curled hair but not too loose either. curly nikki has a great tutorial on how to do a twist and curl.

for those with more coarse 4a-4b hair, you will need to elongate the hair first, twist and then put rollers on the end since your battle with maintaining this style will be the shrinkage monster.

you can also go the weave or wig route.

my hair is kinky and curly.

it’s hair that has been called: bad, nappy, good, curly, kinky, and a variety of things in between.

i simply call it my hair.

my hair is also colored. i had it colored at an aveda concept salon in feb 09. the colors are copper, blonde and chocolate brown; the chocolate is in the back, while the front is more copper with blonde highlights.

my regimen is very simple {i’m a keep it simple (and fast!) kinda gal}:

1. co-wash once a week; sometimes twice a week, or even sometimes every other week – depending on workout schedule
2. use either carefree gold, glycerin, hawaiian 14-in-1 and or a combo to seal in moisture.
3. top off with olive oil or coconut oil
4. add a touch of gel for frizzies (optional)
5. twist and sleep or fluff and go
6. clarify once a month with acv (apple cider vinegar)

that’s it. sometimes it changes, but more often than not, it does not.

i like to try a lot of products though (so sometimes #2 and #4 change up), a different condish here and there, gels, etc., so i’ll be doing plenty of reviews.

my hair back story

like most little black girls, i was natural up until my teens. it was actually the year i was to turn 13 (so i was 12) that i got my first relaxer.
