This post brought to you by This Post brought to you by Jamaican Mango & Lime. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Coily Locks.

I’ve been natural for over 5 years…this time! 14 years ago I went natural and it was basically because 1) I was saving money for my upcoming wedding 2) I got tired of spending an entire Saturday in the hair salon 3) I wanted to try something new! Back then the products available were sparse and not many salons in my area of Nashville knew how to deal with natural hair unless you were coming in for a blow-out.

Fast forward to today and the options are endless. It’s so nice that I can just go into my favorite beauty supply store or even mass chain store and pick up products for my hair. Along the way there have been several hits and misses when it comes to products, but I was happy when I discovered Jamaican Mango & Lime Pure Naturals.

Jamaican Mango & Lime Pure Naturals is the line of moderately priced hair care products that deliver a “360 degree Moisture Miracle” of intense, lasting moisture to every, single strand of hair because its Moisture Miracle 360 °™ Blend of Pure & Natural butters, oils, natural extracts & vitamins that penetrates & surrounds every dry, thirsty, overworked strand and locks in 360 degrees of intense, long-lasting moisture. It’s nice when can find a line that carries everything you need to help your hair maintain moisture (which helps with length retention) as well as products for endless styling options.

All Things O’Natural

Hey Curlies!!! I am so excited to share my interview with Dominique of All Things O’Natural. I have been enjoying their products for over a year and was so excited when I got the chance to interview them. If you recall, two of their products made my Top 10 Favorite Products list. I’ve been using their Natty Moist and Natty Butter faithfully for the last year. No matter what style I do, after I wash I use my Giovanni Direct Leave-in followed by an oil, my Natty Moist then a styler (if needed). What I love about All Things O’Natural’s products are that they are made in small batches using quality ingredients. Their customer service is impeccable and it definitely shows in their products as well. Check out the interview and be sure to visit them!

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!
