1st Bantu Knot out (AirDry Hair)

Happy Sunday Beauties!!=-)

So a few days ago i did my 1st Bantu Knot out on air dry hair..the results were cute. My husband actually loved it, so thats always a + right?!

Details:

I co-washed my hair with my fave conditioner, Tresseme with Vit E and i deep conditioned with One n Only Argan Oil Mask for (15 mins) no heat. I then proceeded to my way of air drying (i already have a YouTube video on this, check it out). After it was dry i applied my LTR & Oil. I also used a little bit of Carols Daughter Loc Butter on each section of doing the knots. I did 4 knots on each side, left & right, with a part down the middle (made with my fingers, no comb) I secured them with bobby pins, applied my satin scarf and went to sleep....

Next morning:

Applied a little oil and rubbed it through my knots before separating and fluffing.

I liked the results, gave me like a short curly look, i think this would deff be a cute summer style.

Nite Time Routine:

Of course i still did my moisture and seal =-) but instead of doing 4 knots on each side, i decided to do 1 knot on each side, lightly finger combing so smooth out just a bit, then did each knot.

Next Morning Results:

The waves are a bit looser...

And theres my post Beauties...Also to let you know, you may not see *MY* hair because im going on 8 weeks post and NG is kicking in, so its time to protect my hair and give it a break,i want to retain my length so its very important i pamper it...I will be doing my 1st love of protective styles, lol, half wigs and even some lace front wigs until my next relaxer at either 12 or 13 weeks post...hey maybe even 15wks, i will see and of course keep you updated =-)

All other tutorials of my heat free styles will have to be after my relaxer =-(

Caruso Saran Wrap

Happy Tuesday Beauties!!!

Caruso Saran Wrap...say what? lol. Yup, i said it, now what exactly is it? I havent seen anyone do this on YouTube (that i know of) but i came up with the idea from the basics of a roller wrap but without all the work of course. Hey time is an issue with me, i have 2 children under the age of 3, so i stay busy. Ok back to the post..

I used my Caruso rollers on air dried hair, set the rollers for 15 Min's until they were cooled off then i proceeded to wrap my hair using saran wrap and sat under my dryer (bonnet) for 10 minutes. This step helped smoothed my hair and release the tight curl.

I loved my results, it was alot quicker than doing a regular roller wrap and the results are just about the same IMO. My hair was extremely full (my hair is really thick), i like it but my roots were kinda poof. You can flat iron or blow out the roots if you like, i choose not too, since i don't like using direct heat.

 RESULTS...

TUTORIAL SOON...

Double Flower Updo

Happy Sunday Beauties!!

So here's how i am wearing my hair today...i think i have found my new favorite up do...yay! lol This is just like the post from yesterday but instead you can do it with 2 pin curl twist...Tomorrow i will try with 1..ha ha.

Like my makeup? =)

With this...i added the medium size bump it to the front to give it some lifted.

I did this just how i did the flower buns yesterday, this time i took 2 sections instead, twisted it and pin curled  it and secure them with bobby pins. I really love this hair style, its so simple to do, you can throw some flowers in this style to make it look cuter...and its heat free.

Triple Flower Updo

Hey Beauties!!!

OK, i know you are prob laughing at the name but i just honestly didn't know what to call this look...all i can say is that is was inspired from YouTube. LOL. Didn't turn out like the girls on YouTube, but i think it still looks cute,esp with the flowers clipped in. I like it alot, i like that its off my face, off my clothes, and my ends are protected still...

Im just trying many different looks, im not use to wearing my own hair out so i have to be creative with it if i don't want to wear it down...buuuuuut i will be flat ironing next weekend...family pics, plus its been almost a month anyway since i used heat, so ill be ok...next relaxer will be in March..end of March so to say...

What would you call this look?

I took 3 sections of hair, twisted it and did it like a pin curl, then secured it with a bobby pin. Lifted the front a little bit so it wouldn't be flat...this is another heat free hair style by the way...who says you cant look cute with out heat...shoot I'm shooting for bra strap hair baby lol =P



Tutorial coming soon...been sick so all I've been able to do was take pictures, sorry =(

Triple Twist Bun

Heeeey Beauties!!!

I did this bun a few days ago, tryna experiment a little bit with buns, being i am not a bun person at all. So i am not use to wearing buns, i think i look weird with my hair pulled back lol...but back in the day I LOVED PONYS lol. So this is something i have to get used too. I want my ends to be protected, i want to - have to reach my goal of being BSL by June...

So here all i did was brushed my hair to the side right back and used a headband, as a pony holder. I took 3 parts of the pony and did a loose twist to them all and secure them with a bobby pin, then of course added a little clip flower from F21.

Looking at the pictures it dont look that bad, lol i took it right down after i did it lol. I am going to start making tutorials on my buns soon...i promise =)

Pin Curl Bun

Hey Beauties!!!

I wanted to show you all my bun i did today. I think this is a cute bun to go out to dinner or whatever. Its really simple to do, took me less than 5 mins. I did this on airdry/caruso hair. Products i used were, LTR- 7 proclaim oil- olive oil gel on edges, hair band without metal and several large bobby pins. I also added a hair flower on the side (forever21)

Hope You Beauties Like...this is a great protective styles to protect those ends...

 i created these pin curls just by wrapping it under my finger

Caruso Wave Pony

Hey Beauties!!!

So today i went ahead and put my hair in a "banana clip" with a slight hump in the front. Yesterday after i co-washed my hair i let it air dry 100% then i used my Caruso rollers to set some loose waves. Yesterday i just pinned it up, today i put in the clip. I don't want to really wear it down for awhile because i don't want my ends rubbing against my clothes, you really have to be careful with your ends, that's the part that will break off easily....that's why alot of times women don't think their hair is growing bc their ends are breaking but their hair is still growing (new growth). You really have to protect those ends ladies. Moisturize and Seal are so important for women of color.

Products Used:

garnier leave in conditioner

garnier serum

tresseme moisture conditioner (co wash)

one n' only conditioner (after co wash, left in for 5 min then rinse with cold water)

chi infusion (before applying rollers)

Caruso rollers

I maintain the wave at night by of course using my LTR and Argan Oil then putting it in one bantu knot on the top of my head, secure it with bobby pin and place bonnet over head...and head to bed =)

dont forget to enter my giveaways to the right=)

Quick Messy Bun

Hey Beauties so yesterday I did my wash with my argan line and did 6 braids. I wasn't planning to wear my hair down so after I did my braids I pinned them upwards. Put on my bonnet and went to sleep. This morning I brushed the edges and just put it up in a messy bun since I was staying in today. I made sure to tuck in my ends and used a few bobby pins. The results are in the pictures .... I will be doing a cowash either tomorrow or Tuesday ... maybe then ill do the double bantu knots???
