Hey Curlies, I’ve been getting a couple of questions about protective styles, particularly caring for box braids, faux locs and large twists with added hair. While I am not a fan of these styles (with added hair) to maintain healthy hair (for a variety of reasons), I’m aware these styles are go-to for many people. So if you must wear…

Hey Curlies, For this week’s style I decided to go with a protective one, two-strand twists on stretched hair. I noticed this year I haven’t worn as many “stretched” styles as I normally do, and I definitely want to get back to that.I washed my hair using what’s left of my Shea Moisture’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil shampoo (I need…
Hey Curlies, I’ve spoken to a few people recently who are just simply not happy with the state of their hair. It could be dry, have split ends, rough or a combination of the three.

Hey Curlies, With it being the summer and many ladies wearing protective styles, I’ve been getting questions about how long to keep in your braided and twisted styles.

Hey Curlies, Wow, it has been quite a while and life has been treating me well. Before I get to my normal hair update, I wanted to do a recap of the past month’s events. Two weeks ago I went to Selma, Ala. in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” and honestly it was nothing short of remarkable….
Hey Curlies, My protective style from last week did me wonders and now its time to move on to my perm rod set! It was so convenient to simply wake up, take my scarf off and proceed with my day. This style also helped my hair stay moisturized and I didn’t have to do anything extra all week. Currently as…
Hey Curlies, I’ve been doing some thinking….and some examining. If you’ve read my last post where I talk about my latest protective style, you know I am striving to wear more two strand twists. I previously wore them often and want to get back into protective style mode now that summer is just about over. With that, I’ve been thinking…
Hey Curlies, I’ve noticed over the past few months, beside my mini twists, I haven’t been wearing twisted styles as much. I constantly find myself “doing” my hair. This is due to the humidity swelling up my hair throughout the day and ruining my style. Basically, I haven’t worn many styles that tend to last the entire week. At one…
