Kinky Twists

I absolutely love this protective hairstyle. They are light weight, versatile, & very cute (as pictured below).
I installed them on 4/16, took about 6hrs (no breaks), and I plan on keeping them in for about 4 weeks. Well I'm praying to keep them in for 4 weeks only because I never keep anything in for that long & it's only been a week and my new growth is visible.
I have been keeping them moisturized with a mixture of braid spray, glycerine, & distilled water. I spritz my hair with the mixture at least twice a day, once in the morning & before bed. I plan to continue this, also to redo the braids when they are becoming too loose. I'll be updating when I take them out.

Product Review: SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie

I can't remember exactly who suggested this line of products to me but I finally went out & got some because Walgreens was having a 'Buy 1, Get 1 free' sale.
This price is $9.99 & up to $12.99 for the products in the line. I was kind of like "I'm not paying that much for something that may not work for my hair" but that Walgreens sale changed my mind.
I love the smell & texture of the CES. Its silky yet thick like a custard. My hair loved it too. I washed my hair like normal & did a twist out using only this product on my wet hair. I let it air dry and my hair came out moisturized and well defined curls/twists.
I told my sister how much I liked it & she wanted me to pick her up some since the prices for it start at $12.99 in NY.. After going to two different Walgreens, I couldn't find any. So I'm letting her use my jar on my trip to NY.

I'm Back!!

OMG! I'm slipping so much with the daily blogging like I promised!!! But I will be posting something new this week (A couple product reviews & maybe a Q & A post).

I have been thinking about changing my hair regime recently. I think I'm going to incorporate some type of braids for a couple weeks (more than likely will be days!! I can't go too long with the same hair style). I'm thinking kinky twists because they look good even when they are old & need to be re-done.

I've been watching a lot of youtube videos trying to get a style to wear for my birthday & I have yet to find something that I like... So hopefully I'll either come up with something or find something since my birthday is on the 13th.
