Marley Twist!

I had to do them again! I haven't had my Marley twist since June of last year, it was time!! I used 6 packs of hair to get them nice and thick. Two of my packs were actually color. I'm not sure how long I'll be keeping them in, but they are defiantly coming in handy as my protective style and i can do so much with them! It feels nice to give my hair a break and still keep it in a natural style choice.

Deep Conditioning Process

It was definitely time for a deep conditioning. Lately my hair has become dry and I noticed more shedding then usual so I deep conditioned with Creame of Nature Jojoba & Olive Oil that was in one of my later post. I also mixed in some Extra Virgin Olive Oil just for a little more moisture then let it all sit for about 30 mins.

The Process:

My hair before conditioning, no product, slightly wet

 

 

Shrinkage is a trip!

 

 

 

Once I added the Deep Conditioner and Olive Oil.

 

 

 

Conditioner is really settling in. My little pony.

 

 

 Conditioner all rinsed out. Hair feeling light and soft. I just love my curls.

 

 

 

 

Before I twisted my hair I added my Shea Butter with Extra Virgin Olive Oil that I mixed up. I added through my whole head.

 

 

Now its time to twist! I added Cantu Shea Butter curling cream it smells good and has a nice shine to it. Product added more shrinkage. Don't mind the, "dryness" in my cheeks lol it's an acne medication I've been using I'll do a post on that soon.

 

 

Stretched Hair with product.

 

 

 

Medium size twist complete, all together I counted 30!

 

 

As I'm typing this post my hair is drying.

 

 

 



Thick Twist!

I was wearing my hair like this for months and everyone loved it! I was tired of wearing my natural hair (it happens) so I went to the beauty supply store and brought 4 packs of Marley braiding hair and put them in myself, just to try something new. Before I put them in I deep conditioned which made the whole process about 7 hours! Maybe next time they will be easier to do. I liked how these thick Senegalese twist looked natural on me and especially when they got older I loved the worn in look. Some people actually thought my twist were dreads...

 

 

(Sorry for the quality in these pictures, they are horrible!)

 

So I did my co-workers hair and it turned out great, all together she brought 6 packs of hair, 4 Marley and 2 Kanekalon. I did her hair early this morning at 8am and it only took 4 hours and some change compared to my 7! She still had 1 back left.

 

 

 

I'll make this my little side hustle..gotta save up for a car! I'll be doing someone elses hair next week. The twist are so versatile, I would do little up-dos and side swoop bands and on top of that itss a protective style to give my hair a break. I will definitely be doing them on my hair again, but not right now I'm enjoying mine! 

 

 

 

Natural Hair: BLOWOUT

So I decided to blowout my hair yesterday for the second time since becoming natural and I'm excited to know my hair is doing well and growing since I clipped my ends (it makes such a difference) Before I blow dried my hair I did a egg, honey, and Shea butter deep condition let that sit for 30 min. then rinsed and did a deep condition for 20 min. with Cream of Natures Jojoba & Olive Oil treatment.

MIX

• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons Shea butter(melted)

BENEFITS
Eggs: Are protein for your hair leaving your hair strengthened, preventing breakage and making your hair shiny with volume.

Honey: Contains fructose and glucose that help nourish the hair and retain moisture providing hydration. Also good for an itchy scalp.

Shea butter: Softer, smoother, manageable hair, great for moisturizing and promoting hair growth. Shea Butter can help with color treated hair, and dry and damaged hair.

Eggs, honey, and Shea Butter can also be used as a face mask!
