I Flat Ironed my Natural Hair!

Which is a really big deal for me! I've never truly flat ironed my hair since I've been natural. For a few weeks I've had this itch to do. So...I did it one night without any thoughts!

After I washed my hair, with Shea Moisture all natural shampoo of course, I applied Extra Virgin Olive Oil all over to seal in the moisture. 

I sectioned of small sections of my hair starting from the bottom (now I'm here)!

Applied a little more olive oil to make sure the strands are fully covered, and the applied the Silk 'N Sleek Straightening Polish. 

I then blow dried that section using the Gold 'N Hot (picture and price below). 

I twisted up that section after it was completely dry and continued this pattern with the rest of my head.

I then flat ironed my hair using Argan  Heat by One 'N Only. I used it on the 20-25 heat setting. After I unraveled a twist (starting from the bottom, ayy!), I combed it out. As I pulled the comb through my hair, the flat iron immediately followed. I did this all over boo until it looked like the photo below! ^_^

Can't you tell I was felling myself? ;)

Price: $$$$$

Pros: Looks natural, movement, shine, low maintenance, very affordable.

Genie Locs/Yarn braids Style #2.

Genie Locs/Yarn braids Style #1.

Two Strand Twist Bun in front with Bun in back.

The Yarn Braids are back!

Yes, the genie locs are back! I actually wanted to try something different than just black "locs" so I decided to add a few "hi lights". I have a few pieces of brown, red, and "blonde". I'll post better pictures in posts prior to this one.

I fell in love with them all over again! I cannot wait to loc my hair.

I again used Red Heart Super Saver yarn. The colors I used were Black, Claret (red), Coffee (brown), and Buff (blonde).

I burned the ends of my braids to seal them, except the Buff yarn. Since it's so light, if I were to burn them they would be black on the ends and looking straight tacky! Therefore I just dipped them in boiling water.

I crinkled my hair too! I love it so much more than straight locs. It gives it more shape, texture, and volume. I did so by plaiting my hair, I looked like Janet, and dipping them in boiling water, blow dried them dry, and unraveled the braids. I came out perfect!I'm pleased. :)

I plan on having them in for about 2 months, and I plan on getting more creative with hairstyles so for the next few weeks I will have "Yarn Braid Style" posts.

God bless! :)

Update: Back to black and natural hair milestone!

Okay, I know I've been gone for about 4 months, but a lot has happened with my hair!

First, I installed my own box braids. I was somewhat pleased with them, it was my first time, but they could have been better. I used 100% kanekalon hair in colors 30 and 1B. It took about 16-19 hours. (Crazy, I know!) I loved this style in buns and fish tail braids which were my to-go style for the 3 weeks that I had them in.

I then dyed my hair black. As you may know, I had the blonde in the front. I dyed it red/blonde in November of 2010, so I had about 6 inches of black new growth and I was not happy with the look. So...all black it is!

                                                                                                           I then started experimenting with turbans which are my winter staples and must haves! I have them in all colors, patterns, and fabrics.

My natural hair milestone! THE HIGH BUN! When I was relaxed, buns were my thang! I didn't leave the house without a bun 80% of the time. So when I cut my hair to go natural I was very upset that I could no longer wear a bun. But after a year and a half, it's possible! :D
