Two-Strand Twist Out on Natural Hair

November 6, 2012 by Alisha 10 Comments

Good day to you all!  I hope this post finds you all in a fabulous mood!

Once again in my quest to help Sybil (my hair) feel like a big girl I decided to do a twist out.  Y’all would not believe the shrinkage that I have to endure.  I did a wash and go the other day and a co-worker asked me if I got my hair cut.  O_o

One of my favorite styles to do to help stretch my hair is a twist out. A twist out is a hairdo where you two strand twist the hair, then allow it to dry by either air drying it or sitting under a hair dryer.  I always let mine air dry since my hair is still pretty short and it typically dries completely by the next morning.  For the latest twist out I started with a day old WNG (wash-n-go).  A WNG is when you simply wash or co-wash (washing only with conditioner) hair, add a styler gel or cream and roll out!  Since the weather is getting cooler, a WNG isn’t the best style unless I want to end up with a head cold…LOL

Me giving Sybil the side eye because she shrunk the heck up! “Damn you shrinkage!”

I sprayed my hair to get it damp but not soaking wet then I parted my hair into several sections and worked a small amount (pea size) of Coco Curls Styling Cream onto each section that I was going to twist.

I love this stuff for my twist outs!

Lawd look at that shrinkage!

Then after what seemed like an eternity, I twisted my whole head!  I’m pretty sure it took me a couple of hours, but without all of the interruptions (ie, kids) I would have been done in less than an hours.

Woohoo! All done!

All twisted up!

Still unpacking and about to pour a glass of wine…

November 4, 2012 by Alisha 6 Comments

Phew all this moving and “unpacking” from Blogger to WordPress has this natural hair mom tired!  Now I hope everyone has taken the grand tour.  Be sure to watch out for a few boxes and that long extension cord I have running through the place.  Things should be all cleaned up and tidy in the upcoming weeks.

While I’m waiting on the delivery man, be sure to check out my fan page Coily Locks – Fan Page!  It will include more tidbits that make up my crazy life.

Help! Mom down, mom down!

October 18, 2012 by Alisha 8 Comments

Phew!  These last couple of weeks have tested every single nerve in my body.  My 3 year old has decided that she no longer needs sleep to survive.  So this pretty much translate to no one else in our home having a good night sleep.  O_o  Y’all just don’t know how much I treasure and value my sleep.  I would pick sleep over food (that’s just how serious it is).

I spoke with my pediatrician at her last wellness visit and mentioned how her sleep pattern was all out of whack and her energy is through the roof.  She mentioned giving her melatonin (1mg) for no longer than a month or 2.  My little ball of energy’s body just laughed at that stuff.  I’m hoping that this is just short lived and we will get back on track soon, but until then the ramblings from this natural hair mom will consist of a lot of reviews of wine.  Please tell me I’m not the only parent dealing with this.  How do you get your toddlers back on track with their bedtime schedule and sleep pattern.  Feel free to share!

Also stay tuned for an upcoming review from one of my favorite vineyards!
