Vatika Oil

Posted in Hairstyles, Product Review by

I got my Vatika Oil from The Curvealicious Chronicles Giveaway! As soon as I got it, I put some in my hair. I love the way it smells. It smells to me like it has ginger in it, so much so that I looked at the ingredients to see if it did. That’s when I discovered that it has henna, brahmi and amla oil and other interesting ingredients.

It worked so well on my dry hair that I put a little in my KimmayTube Leave in, which I just started using again.

Yesterday I tried it on my wet hair and it kinda gave me that coconut oil feeling, which is hard hair. I just twisted my hair up and today it feels so moisturized. I did apply other products though, like Kinky Curly Knot Today, Curls Creme Brulee and a little Kinky Curly Spiral Spritz.

I was beginning to feel like my hair was getting dry from being in the ponytail and I was manipulating it more, so back to twisting all the time. Thank God I haven’t seen any breakage and I’m still seeing growth.

It’s extra curly and looks extra short, but it’s extra moisturized!

An Old Style Revisited

Posted in Uncategorized by

So remember the Two Flat Twists & A Bun that I tried before? I got the style idea from Mrs. The Bronx over at Heavenly Hues & Hair Do’s <~~ That's her version of the style. I absolutely LOVE the style on her, but I didn't really love it so much on myself. It might have something to do with her gorgeous hair color too.

In any case, I decided to revisit the style for three main reasons:

1. I wouldn't have to put gel in the front of my hair

2. The shorter pieces in the front wouldn't get strangled daily by the ponytail holder

3. I discovered that my hair can go into a bun, so my ends would be protected.

Sounds like I'm winning all around!

…and here it is! Look, I even put a flower in it! So what if it's black and camouflages. Lol.
