Perfect Pin Curls

Pin curling is just a simpler way of curling your hair rather than using rollers. I pin curled my hair on my own for the very first time (last week). I tried to do it one time when my hair was just washed and blow dried, but it wasn't coming out the way I wanted. I did it last week with my hair straightened, so of course it has a different look. I'm gonna try to do it again on non-straightened hair sometime soon.. maybe next week? We'll see! When I did my hair thought, it came out so nice that I ended up doing my mom's hair for the weekend! There's a how-to video at the bottom if you're interested, and pictures at the bottom. :)


When I did my hair, I hadn't watched the video yet, but for anyone who's never done it yet and has no clue how to start, this video is perfect!

Happy experimenting!

Flat Ironing

I flat iron my hair from time to time, but not so often because of 1) the risk of heat damage and 2) it takes FOREVER. I did it, however, yesterday, and it took about 3 1/2 hours! (This is to get it bone straight. Also, I had to clean my parakeet cage today, and I did it on the balcony and it's ruined! So I have to touch it up again) I did snap some pictures yesterday, though (smart move, Sophie!)

Flat ironing is a simple process- once you've gotten used to it- but if you've never done it before, watch some videos, get some tips, and try not to burn yourself! There's a how to video is the previous blog if you're looking for one! Pics below :)

Pomp, Pomp, Pomp it Up!

Since I decided to blow dry my hair this week, I've been wearing my hair in up-dos (in an attempt to give my ends a break!) So far, I've done a bun for 2 days, a Janelle Monae-type hairstyle for one day, and today (Thursday) I'm gonna straighten it for the weekend. )It'll probably be washed and back to natural by Monday!) I've been working the pomp (hump, mohawk) thing all week. Time for a change! Pics below!

I had the back in to a braid. I thought I was french braiding it... but I wasn't! LOL. It still came out nicely done!

My next post will be on flat ironing. If you're interested in styles and tips, check these videos on here and here :). Do it up!

P.S. INVEST IN SATIN ROLLERS!!!

Feature Model :) Jessica!

Jess is my El Naturelle Partner! We always share hair style tips and ideas with each other and a couple of weeks ago, she put me on the Janelle Monae hairstyle (because believe it or not I didn't really know about it before that), and I fell in LOVE! Of course, I made plans to do the hairstyle, whereas Jess on the other hand.. went ahead and did it! It's just the basic hairstyle, but what she did do different was french braiding the back instead of doing the pin-tuck-under thingy (LOL). I just stumbled upon these pics again so I think I'll be doing the hairstyle soon! Pics below.

I ALSO saw pics of a couple of other hairstyles she tried.. More motivation! They're beautiful!! 

THANKS Jess!!! :)

More Hairstyle from the past... Weeks!

In the past few weeks, I've had the finger curl hairstyle, and a couple of other hairstyles where I simply wet my hair while it was in big (and sometimes even small) braids/twists. After having wet it, I either slept in it or blow dried it and unbraided it. (Basically just unbraided it after it was thoroughly dry). The various 

hairstyles are displayed below!

Hairstyle #3 .. which led to Hairstyle #4

Day... Ehh no more days! Guilty Pleasures!!

So I was having a conversation with a friend and said friends asked what were my guilty pleasures. Of course the first guilty pleasure proposed was ICE, which was in turn denied because I DO NOT AT ALL FEEL GUILTY ABOUT EATING THE AMOUNT OF ICE THAT I EAT! The conversation never really ended though, and I forgot all about it until.. well now. I don't have that many, but here are a few of my guilty pleasures: 

• Shopping 
•  Singing in the shower
• Pizza Hut (lol)
• Kung Fu Panda
• Twitter & Facebook (SMH)
• The Office -- 24/7!

• Tap Zoo & Jojo's Fashion Show (games on my iPod haha)

These are just a few on my list. Come to terms with yourself! Lol. Have a good day!
P.S. I promise to post more often!!
