Natural Hair Twist Out

October 5, 2012 by Alisha 8 Comments

Well today’s Hair of the Day (HOTD) is brought to you by an old wash and go!  LOL

I know that I need to learn to embrace my “shrinkage” but some days I just want a big ol’ fro!  I mean… is that asking for too much?  I think not!  I wanted to do something different for today because I have a meeting with a fellow BLM Girl.  Ebony of Longing 4 Length is always so stylish and wears her long locks in awesome styles.  I wanted to be super cute for our first meeting…haha

I started off with a day old wash and go.  The first thing that came to mind was how cute those styles are with one side shaved.  So I got ready to shave my head I flat twisted one side with 3 twists going back and then I thought I sure don’t feel like doing my whole head.  Got my spray bottle of water and my Coco Curls styling aid cream and I put chunky 2 strand twist throughout the rest of my hair.  The next morning I untwisted them and picked them out a bit just at the roots.  I love how it turned out and Sybil is so much fuller today.  Hope you enjoy!  What is your favorite style?  Feel free to share below.

My Big Chop!

December 15, 2011 by Alisha 4 Comments


I finally did it! Took my braids out last month and got my hair cut and colored on 11-9-11! I feel like a new woman! I feel so empowered now and who knew how a “relaxer” could make one so stressed! One of the big reasons I wanted to go natural was to help my 9 year old learn to love her own hair. Our society for some strange reason sees more beauty in the artificial and not what makes each of us unique.

I would also love to share my tips on caring for your hair. Everything does not always work for everyone and their hair type, but there are a few staple things to work for us all. The big one is making sure that you are also taking care of you inside and out. Exercise, eat right and be kind to others. I try to always live my life like this and truly believe that Kharma can be a “B” if you do her wrong! LOL
