My First Twist Set in 2011

I didn't originally plan on twisting my hair at all until an opportunity had arisen earlier this week for Joshua and I to take engagement photos on tomorrow. The photographer was very responsive a few days ago but not so much now so we are most likely not going to take our pictures tomorrow. Nevertheless, I wanted to wear my hair in a twist out for the photo session if it was to happen. That is why my hair has been in twists for the past several days out the blue.

Here is a video explaining what I used on my hair to style my twists and showing my twists at different angles. Protective styling has really paid off because my twists are definitely fuller than a year ago although they don't look too much longer. And when I squeeze all my twists together...can you say sponge cake? My hair has never felt like this before. I even had to let me fiance' witness the feeling...lol.



Stay tuned for the twist out results coming soon!

My Braids After Last Saturday's Wash Session

I aim to wash my hair every Friday or Saturday as a part of my regimen (with today being an exception pending on whether or not I can get a photo session in tomorrow). I wanted to post this sooner but this past week has been a challenge physically due to the fact that I have been trying to get over a cold while taking care of my daughter who has been having a rough time with her cold. It has been one of those weeks where I just didn't want to be bothered too much. Therefore, instead of twittering, youtubing, and blogging, I spent most of my free time this week wedding planing while cuddled in my blanket. So now I am 'catching up'.

Here are some pictures of my hair freshly washed and conditioned, detangled, and braided. You can check out my hair washing routine in the tab section.

 

She is a trip! Deuces!

Zakiah's Hairstyle at the Moment

I washed and conditioned Zakiah's hair last night (will post her regimen soon). She has a big habit of pulling off ALL her elastic bands from the top section of her head. So she had a mini afro when she got up this morning (I forgot to take a picture). She rarely bothers with the bottom half of her head.

Originally the top section was divided into two sections last night. However, this morning, I decided to just make one ponytail on the top of her head and add bangs. I used Kinky Curly Curling Custard to create the curls in her ponytail and bangs after re-wetting her sections. I added a headband and one of the huge flower clippies I made last year to accessorize her outfit.
