Refreshing Choca's Twists!!! :)

Hey all,

So... Choca has been rocking this style for about 1 1/2 weeks now... 

BLOG POST TO THIS STYLE:

As of a couple of days ago, it was looking like this:

Now, although it was still really cute, it was FRIZZY!! My goodness... This weather (hot, cold, rainy, burning hot) has her hair going through a metamorphosis.  It's growing really well.. But, it does tend to dry out a bit more when the weather is all over the place. 

Sooooooooooooooooooo... I decided to redo her hair style... I updated the braids a bit, and used a different mixture of products to give her that protective covering her hair needs in this weather... 

What did I use, you ask?!?! 

PRODUCTS USED:

LITTLE MISS FUZZY HEAD

AFRICAN PRIDE MAGICAL GRO

TEA TREE LEAVE IN CONDITIONER

Let me tell you... This mixture really made her hair extra soft and curly!!! It was very easy to finger detangle and moisturized her hair amazingly!

The finished product:

I changed up the braid design a bit.

Can you see the shine?!?!? AND... The Little Miss Fuzzy Head has a nice, thick consistency that keeps Choca's hair coated and protected from the elements!!! We shall see how it looks in a week!! :)

As you can see, she's overjoyed with it... 

WIN/WIN!! :)

CC's Braids!!! :)

Hey all,

So... for the past two weeks or so, CC has been wearing her hair in an Afro puff. She was tired of the twists, and was looking for something different.  She brought it to my attention that she wanted to get some braids.  She wanted them so that her hair can rest and be protected in this crazy weather we're having...AND she didn't want to have to worry about her hair along with getting ready for college and end of school activities.  

Now of course, I didn't mind doing them... I enjoy the time we have together... and since she's been doing her own hair for so long (tears), I jumped on the opportunity to have that special one on one time with her. 

So... In order to get the braids the way we wanted them, I used:

(2) bags Black & Gold Braid (#2)

(2) bags Black & Gold Braid (#2/30)

Water

Blended Beauty Natural Hair Oil

Ampro Pro Styl Gel

Organic Root Stimulator Oilve Oil Nourishing Sheen Spray

I sectioned her hair into three sections (one of my own mind tricks I play on myself to get it down in a timely manner).  I made sure to keep her hair moisturized with water before braiding it, in order to make it easier to get the hair in.  Before applying the extensions, I used Pro Styl Gel to make her hair smooth and have an better mix of her hair and the braid hair. 

Her hair is very long, so I had to do them pretty long in order to encompass her gorgeous kinks.

Braiding section one...

Braiding section 2...

As I braided, I used the Blended Beauty Natural Hair Oil to keep her hair and scalp nicely oiled up. Once her hair was completely braided, this was how it looked on the ends:

I boiled some water, added oil to it... And then dipped her braids to get this result:

Once it was all dipped, I gave it a finished coat of Blended Beauty Natural Hair Oil, Pro Styl Gel, and Organic Root Stimulator Oilve Oil Nourishing Sheen Spray.

The Final Product:

CC then decided to try her little Tam on with it... She was getting her stylin' right!! :) 

And, it wouldn't be complete without Choca jumping in... :)

How cute is this style?? It took me about 5 1/2 hours from beginning to end to complete... and we used about  three bags of hair.  This style will last her 2-3 months. 

I think CC looks amazing, and I so happy to have had this wonderful time with her...

Product Review: It's Perfectly Natural Healthy Hair Care

Hey all, 

IT'S REVIEW TIME!!

*~*IT'S PERFECTLY NATURAL*~*

*~*HEALTHY HAIR CARE*~*

WEBSITE | FACEBOOK

So, I was given the AWESOME opportunity of reviewing SEVERAL products from Ms. Denise over at It's Perfectly Natural Healthy Hair Care. 

What the site states:

No Sulfates, No Parabens, Dyes, Whipping Or Harsh Chemicals

At It's Perfectly Natural we try to stay as close to nature as possible so we never use harsh ingredients that will strip your hair of moisture or nutrients. We do not "whip" our products with air during processing so what you get is thick, rich healthy hair products that will help you to cleanse, condition, grow and moisturize your natural hair.

The products I was given to review:

Naturcleanse Shampoo

Lovin' My Coils Deep Conditioner

Turn Me Loose Leave-In

Tea-lightful Hair Quencher

Basil Lemongrass Conditioning Creme

For this review, my hair models are Miss CC & Miss Choca. 

CC decided she wanted to shampoo and condition her hair.  

CC's hair BEFORE the shampoo/condition session.

So, she used the Naturcleanse Shampoo first... She enjoy the way it really engulfed her hair and got all in those curls of hers....and the smell made it even better.  It's really light, but very pleasant. 

She then used the Lovin' My Coils Deep Conditioner.  She put it on her head with a heavy hand, and worked it through her hair.  She enjoyed how she was able to get her fingers through her hair and detangle it without using a comb, because this product helped her in that department.

CC's GORGEOUS curls with the Lovin' My Coils Deep Conditioner.

She kept in on her hair for about 20 minutes, massaging it in and detangling it... She then rinsed it out and this was the texture of her hair after this session:

Gorgeous, right?!?! 

Next, Miss Choca!!

After 5 1/2 weeks with the same twists, I wanted to try these products to see if they would keep her twists looking fresh and NEW... Well, THEY DID!!

First, I used the Turn Me Loose Leave-In to get some good moisture in Choca's twists... It softened her hair and had her curls poppin'... I then sprayed on the Tea-lightful Hair Quencher.  Her hair came ALIVE, okay!?!? The shine, the bounce, the CURLS... Her hair bathed in it and loved every swish of it! :) After applying that, I used about a quarter sized amount of the Basil Lemongrass Conditioning Creme. It's a bit condensed, so I rubbed my hands together to soften it and warm it up a bit.  I then put it on her hair... Can we say GORGEOUS???

Her hair is so shiny, and so curly!!! My goodness!! These products TRULY brought out her curl pattern and renewed her twists!!! I'm sold! :) 

On a scale of one to five Choca's... I give this product:

FIVE CHOCA'S!!!

This product is fantastic.  With light refreshing scents, this product is a delight all the way around!!

I also love the texture and smell of this product.  The smell is VERY pleasant and the texture isn't too thick, but holds very well! :) 

So, I decided to use this product on Choca... 

As most of you know, Choca is in week FIVE of her mini two strand twists, and I'm going for another week or two!! :) simply wet her twists down with water, and then applied the Little Miss Fuzzy Head - Happy Hair Fusion to her twists.  This product does take about 10 minutes to really get acquainted with her hair, but it's so worth it... It makes her hair very soft and it smells wonderful!

I then put her hair in a cute style:

10 minutes later, everything has soaked into her hair: 

Her hair loves this product!! It keeps her hair moisturized throughout the day and the shine is amazing!! 


On a scale of one to five Choca's, I give this product:

FIVE CHOCA'S

This product did what it said it would do... It kept her hair from being fuzzy... After FIVE WEEKS, her twists still look amazing, and this product helped to keep it in tact!
