Natural Hair Tip #4


DETANGLING HAIR


Always begin detangling your hair from the tip.

DO NOT start detangling from the roots. It is more difficult and painful to detangle your roots when the ends are still tangled, this will also lead to losing more hair.

Cinnabuns Of Life!

The cinnabun hairdo seems to be growing on me. It’s one of the quickest, easiest and classy go to style for when I’m having a bad hair day or simply don’t know what to do with my fro.

I’ve been rocking these babies for 5 days now and plan to keep it on for a few more days. I’ve never had this style for this long before but so far, so good.

To achieve this look I used:

  1. Eco styler gel 
  2. Head band
  3. Hair brush
  4. Bobby pins

All I did was:

  • Pack my hair up in a puff using the head band, smoothening out the front with eco styler gel and a brush.

  • Took a little section of the puff and combed through to detangle.

  • Rolled the tip of the section by finger coiling.

  • Tuck down the tip and pin.


Repeat this process, section by section. Until the whole puff is tucked and pinned.
And voila! You've got a headful of cinnabuns!


Uhhmm...I think I loved  my first cinnabun hair more (opening picture). Had to take it down though and redo for this tutorial.

June Wash Day Routine!



Hi, there lovelies!

Remember my last hairdo?

Well, I rocked it for 3 weeks and a few days. Although it looked really rough by the third week, the “didi” style of braiding deserves credit because it kept its promise and lasted more than the normal style of braiding. I’ll definitely be trying it out again!
Hurray to the Nigerian style of braiding!

I finally took it down last weekend for a wash. My wash day was basically the same routine with the exception of a few tweaks, a much-needed trim and using some new products.

These are some of the new products I’ll be using:

  1. Rinse out conditioner: Motions weightless detangling conditioner
  2. Deep conditioner: Cantu deep treatment masque
  3. Leave-in conditioner: Beautiful textures tangle taming leave-in conditioner

My first tweak was done in my pre-poo method. Some minutes after my hot oil treatment, I had this idea to add rinse out conditioner to my hair for extra conditioning and coating. I let it sit for almost 4 hours and it was amaze balls!!!
My hair was softer and less tangled while shampooing. This is a tweak I'm going to turn into a routine.

My second tweak was washing my hair in twists. After applying the conditioner for the pre-poo, I twisted the 6 sections of my hair just because I felt my hair would soak up all that pre-poo juice better this way and I've never washed my hair in twists before. I was definitely big on trying out the twist method.


I used the rinse out conditioner and further de-tangled next and rinsed.


 Then I trimmed in sections.

Next, I deep conditioned for 45 minutes, rinsed out and dried with a cotton shirt. Then added leave-in conditioner and oil in sections.


The next morning I styled in cinnabuns.
