Feature Friday: Presenting Britton!

by 4 Comments

Hey Curlies!!!  Thank goodness it’s Friday!!!  And besides it being one day closer to the weekend, it’s also FEATURE FRIDAY!  I belong to an incredible blog group called Blogger Like Me!  I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many phenomenal women.  Today’s guest post is from Britton.  You can read more from this great lady over at My Big Beautiful Life.

I will be the first to admit. The whole “natural hair” thing never really appealed to me (or so I thought). For many reasons:

  • I didn’t want a teeny, weeny, afro (TWA).
  • I didn’t want kinky hair that I could barely comb.
  • I didn’t want a TWA.
  • It just seemed like too much work with all the co-washing, sealing, moisturizing, finding the right products, etc. etc.
  • I loved my creamy crack (relaxer).
  • …and did I mention I didn’t want a TWA?
What changed my mind, you ask?

These micro braids…last summer. Or Should I say…the aftermath. [Read more…]

Two-Strand Twist Out on Natural Hair

by 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…

by 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.
