Natural Hair: Let's Style

You've taken 1000 selfies but don't like any of them? This is the result of what happened to me. What about when you have tried a new hairstyle and don't really know if you like it or not? *Closes Curtain* 

So I decided to try the two strand twist out. I love how it really looks on some of the natural hair gals. I'm natural myself but I prefer a blow out 99% of the time. But, with very fine hair,  the heat is not always good. My hair has been shedding a lot lately so I decided to try the twists. 

I first oiled my scalp with Alphogee oil and then cowashed with AsIAM Cowash Conditioner. To style I applied Argon Oil, with the LottaBody Shea & Coconut Oil Line. I am loving the Hair Milk and Mousse. I applied about 26 to 30 two strand twists away from my scalp and used perm rods. 

I must say that I thought it was an epic fail but I received so many compliments. I fluffed the curls out for more volume and for the second day I pinned it up and fluffed again. I am excited to try the twist out method again really soon. 

What are your favorite products to use and what's your secret method to a perfect perm rod twist out? 

Testing..1..2..3: Natural Hair

Testing, Testing. *Pats Mic* ... So for the past week and a half I have been wearing my natural hair out. I decided that it was time to give my 18", 20", 22" u part wig a break. Haha. I must admit that I am an avid lover of personality pieces but my hair underneath was in dying need of fresh air. Every year I usually cut my hair or try a different style. Since coming from my Cassie inspired shave cut it was time to embrace my natural hair that was growing underneath. 

When I first unleashed the natural last week I can say I wasn't a fan of it at all but it felt good letting my real hair out. I headed over to Sally's and brought some products including Eden's Tea Tree and Peppermint Oil, Eco Styler Gel, Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque, and Curls Jelly to began with. I decided to try Bantu knots and immediately loved the style. 

It is amazing to see our natural coils and curls. I must say that I will be a transitioner because there is still permed hair that will need to change over. Growing up with natural hair wasn't anything we looked at as the beauty in a woman of color but now individuals inspire many with their big fros, curly hair, and protective styles such as braids and Havana twists. 

What makes you feel beautiful as a natural, and why did you decide to stop using all those harsh chemicals? I would love to hear your comments below.
