Cute Braid-Out on a Blow Out Video!

So as a YouTube Junkie I have watched quite a few of CharyJay's (160Days2Lose2) channel, she has soo many tutorials and slowly but surely has became one of my favorite channels to watch....I thought this video would be helpful to some of you curlies who may be struggling with what to do with your blown out hair.  Must I mention she is using some of my favorite Shea Moisture products (which you can get from Target) see video below....

Hair: 4 Protective Styles!!!!!

With the weather outside so frightful it seems only fitting to post some information on protective styles to get you through some of this cold weather.  I found this video on CurlyNikki's site but the video was posted by SimplyYounique and she had tons (I mean ton's) of different videos out there for curlies needing inspiration.  See video below  ...

Hair: Styles for "shorts" on the go....

So as a newly natural (6 months) chic I often struggle with how to style my hair...most of the time I am in a rush to get somewhere and I don't want my hair all over my head. After watching sooo many You Tube video's I have come to terms with the fact that my hair is too short to work a lot of the styles that I am in love with. So in the meantime I put together a few of the styles I would consider fast and manageable. From Left to right: This is the result of a braid out, I simply used hair pins to create a "hump" in the center front of my head. Second, using the same old braid out I simply grabbed a extra large no tangle head band wrapped it twice around the edges of my head and scooted it in until I created a ponytail look. Last, using an old twist out I simply pinned all parts of my hair up (with the exception of the front). If you have any questions on my braid or twist out method please let me know!
