Curls Unleashed

Posted in Hairstyles, Product Review by

I finally broke down and bought Curls Unleashed moisturizing conditioner. I’ve been dying to try this because the regular Organic Root Stimulator products worked so well in my relaxed hair. It was my favorite brand and the brand that I attribute my additional hair growth to.

I did not buy the whole line only that one product and I’m glad I didn’t. It was just ok. My hair didn’t feel extra moisturized while the conditioner was in or after I rinsed it out. I’ll try it again, but I wasn’t impressed.

I decided to roller set my hair. I’ve been meaning to straighten it, but I’ve been working out several times a week and straight hair just isn’t conducive to working out. I like straightening my hair occasionally so I can see how my ends are doing and also to see how much my hair has grown.

My hair is so curly, it was hard to wrap my hair around the rollers, especially in the middle of my head where it’s curlier. I successfully set it though. I sat under the dryer for an hour. Once it dried, I used the InStyler to straighten the roots a bit.

For once my ends looked good, so I didn’t trim it. =) I just wrapped my hair to let it marinate overnight.

Stay tuned for the results.

Mission Accomplished

Posted in Hairstyles by

I always twist my hair when it’s wet and freshly washed. Last Sunday, I decided to twist my hair after it dried overnight. I thought it would be a great idea because my hair would be stretched and my twists would hang longer.

I spent about an hour and fifteen minutes twisting my hair. I attempted to style it after and no style looked good to me. I gave up on styling it and just went to workout.

The next day my twists looked like they were a week old. I realized that my twists last longer and come out better when my hair is wet because each strand just curls right into the twists.

In any case, my scalp was itching like crazy on Monday night so I just untwisted it and washed it. All of the working out I’ve been doing has my scalp in a constant state of being dirty/sweaty.

Here are my dry twists

This is two fishtail braids. Hated it! 20120914-010115.jpg

A side bun, but I couldn’t manage to get all of the ends tucked in. Hated it! 20120914-010129.jpg

This is a” fold in half” bun (I just made that up. Lol). I’m on the fence about it. 20120914-010145.jpg

Ultimately, I accomplished my mission of wearing twists for a full month. I love them!
