Happy New Year!

Hey All!

I am a day late but I'd like to wish you guys a very Happy New Year! I attempted to go Times Square to watch the ball drop, but crowd was way too intense for my liking (lol) Settled for going to a Korean ball and getting back in time to watch the ball....but this time, on tv.

This has been quite the eventful year for me with me moving and starting college. Compared to 2012, 2013 I treated my hair with much more care, I got into a regimen, colored my hair, discovered some bald spot friendly styles (lol). The Havana Twists I installed have lasted me the holidays and I have got to admit that I am a bit nervous about "dealng" with my hair again, horrible I know.(lol) I have marked Sunday as my hair day, which is comfortale since it has always been a wash day for me. I'll more than likely share that with you all.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed your holiday, will enjoy the new year, and get into you HHJ in 2014!

Merry Christmas!

Hey All!

I'm pretty bah humbug this Christmas. The Grinch.stole my wallet...literally. I have to replace all my cards wait for money to be refunded to my account because whoever found it treated themselves to a 30 day metro card. I didn't get a chance too finish Christmas shopping, so gifts will be given late.

I hope you all holiday is going much better than mine! (lol)  I'm hoping late breakfast and 'A Nightmare Before Christmas' gets me in spirit! Hold your family close and enjoy the love they bring!

Havana Twists Revamped

Hey All!

I've been meanjng to post but have been busy with moving and school, which is exactly why I installed Havana Twists.

As you all know I've done them before but I got so-so reviews from family and friends..I myself wasn't crazy about the either. Don't get me wrong, they were cute but too scalpy. I already have fine hair and I try my best to not look bald-headed.

This time I used 5 1/2 packs of Reggae braid or whatever it was called, no different than Marley braid hair. I'm missing hair in spots so I probably would have ended up using 6 full packs.

The night before, I washed my hair with Vidal Sasson Color protecting Shampoo, deep conditioned with my beloved Queen Helene Cholesterol. Then m&s with Design Essentials HCO, and sealed with Africas Best Ultimate Oil. I then put my hair into horizontal flat twists. The next day I blow dried my hair on medium heat with my wide tooth comb.To twist, I used 3 tufts per twist opposed to the 5 I used before. I have 50 twists altogether and at the end, I used blue cold wave rods and dipped my ends in boiling water. Oh and I used both the twist in and braid at root methods. Why? Because my hair is super fine and the weight of the added hair wouldn't stay in, in some spots.

Friends and family kind of got on board this time, though I got compared to Predator from 'Alien vs. Predator' (They tried it. Lol.) I have received compliments everwhere from people of all cultures. So I am definitely not complaining.

It's a super simple style so it will forever be a go-to protetive style. Will be rocking these into the new year.

Just wanted to share.
