Afro Puffy Twist Regime!!

OK so like I promised I'm back to share my Afro Puffy Twist regime..its pretty simple and easy (definitely a well needed break from my hair regime smh)

• I moisturize my hair at least 3 times a week.
•  I first spritz my twist with water (only spray the water where your hair ends, to keep the twist from getting to frizzy too much) 
• Then I rub my favorite moisturizer Qhemets Alma Olive Heavy Cream over my twist. Remember to only spread it over your hair..(no need to waste product on the extensions lol)
• I then rub Castor oil down each twist to seal in the moisture, and BAM!! all done lol 

I usually split my twist into four section, and just do a section at a time...

Now as far as my scalp!!! My scalp always seems to get very aggravated when I wear braids, I'm not sure why..but to prevent this I must make sure it doesn't get dry..if it does ill snatch these twist down in 2 seconds!!! lol I apply Castor oil to my scalp about every other day (my scalp literally drinks this stuff!!) I haven't experienced an aggravated scalp yet!! :) 

as far as washing my twist......nah!! Ill pass!! I hate washing extension, they never seem to look the same, get extra heavy, and the whole process is just a pain..I doubt ill keep these in that long to even worry about washing, and with that being said I have a confession to make!!! 

Im thinking about taking these twist down this weekend..yep this Sunday will make 2 weeks I've had them, and I cant take it anymore I miss my hair!!!! :( but will see how the weekend goes...

 

The bun I can achieve with these twist are BOSS tho!!! :) 

Afro Puffy Twist: Protective Style!!!!

ok so I know I've been talking about protective styling for awhile, and how I really want to try to do more of it in my 2 year of being natural..well I decided to stop playing around and get on board!! I decided to get AFRO PUFFY TWIST!!!

These twist are BOSS!!! I love them!!! I saw some naturals on YouTube with them and decided to give them a try..I know how to braid my hair BUT I'm reallllllllyyy slow!! So my sister helped me out (she actually did majority of it lol)..we used 3 packs of Marley hair, and I wanted them super long!! so we did not cut the hair in half..the roots are braided to help hold the twist in place, and the rest is just twisted down..Ill leave a link below of how to install these twist...

I mainly wear them in a high bun (which I love) because Im not use to all this hair on my back lol but im slowly getting use to wearing them down. I love how thick and natural looking these twist are..Several people asked if these was my hair lol..

I plan to leave these in for at least 3-4 weeks..Ill post my regime on how I keep my hair moisturized with braids soon!!

Oh yea thanks for all who have subscribed to my youtube channel!!! I plan to start making videos again in December ,when I get my macbook for Christmas!!!!! :)

How was my hair you ask???

I left my hair braided in my chunky braids, and only took a section out in the front to make a high pompadour .simple, cute, and a great protective style!!

Update: Twist and Fall is Coming!!!

Omg its been a minute since I updated the blog!! sorry about that! This semester is going by crazy fast, and this work is no joke, but I'm staying focused and its been paying off so far...:)

ok so here's a quick update as far as my hair I've been trying this whole protective style thing more often..Last week I put medium size twist in my hair and left them in for a week!! Having the twist help soooooo much with my schedule. At night I just re-moisturize them with water/qhemets AOHC/ EVOO and Castor oil mix. Place them in a low ponytail, put my bonnet on and go to sleep. In the morning I take the ponytail out and style them however. I've mostly been wearing them in a low ponytail or bun. And use accessories likes hats and beanies to cover them when they start looking old and frizzy.

 I installed a new set last night for this week!!!

In other new!!! Fall is coming and the weather is SLOWLY changing!! I say slowly because its still 80 degrees here in SC, but it should be dropping by next week (hopefully)!! I LOOOOVE the fall!! I'm a big fan of sweaters, boots, oxfords, scarves, beanies, and button up shirts!! I cant wait till it gets a little more chilly to break out these fashion!! I plan on blogging about the Fall Fashion since I absolutely adore it, and posting OOTD (Outfit of the Day) !!

I will be posting more on the blog, I plan on doing at least one blog post a week!! As far as my you tube channel I will be posting new videos soon!!

So that's my quick update!! hope all is well with y'all :)

Pop of color!!!

Decided to spice things up and bleach the side part of my hair!! It was suppose to actually bleach that whole section BUT only took at the root! lol I still love it!! I definitely needed this change..as my hair grows out I will continue to dye this section blond!!

I used Clairol Kaleidoscopic with a 20 volume base..according to the worker at Sally's this was the most MILD bleach. I section the hair in the front i wanted to bleach, and place the rest in a plastic cap..I only left it on for about 20mins and deep conditioned after. lol I was nervous the whole time!! 

 Because this area is bleached with chemicals I plan on making sure it stays moisturized to avoid breakage

I LOVE IT tho!! channeling my inner wiz khalifia  lol (the rapper) 

Update on Lajay!!!

OK so the semester has began and has not been light on a sista!!! I already have papers, exams, and quizzes piling up!! smh sooo of course finding time to do my hair is becoming harder..I haven't worn my hair down since I been back. I either wear a puff, turban, or my WIG!! Yep that's right La jay is still in the picture!!

 OMG she comes in handy when I want to be cute and have big hair without bothering mines!
And she blends so well people never think that its a wig!! I cut it a little more so it could be the exact length of my hair (shown below)

  My real hair down (it didn't stay like this long..soon as humidity hit it I threw her right up in a puff!!)

La Jay! She come in handy on those very few night I decided to go out!!! But as you can see she is still blending quite well and the older she gets the more I love her!!! She seems to frizz more and look even more closer to my hair type with time! 

SN: Stay tuned for a tutorial on how I stretch my hair with rollers on my YouTube channel SOON!!!
