Bedtime Style - Bun

Here is a quick video showing one way that I style my hair to go to bed at night.

12 Weeks Post Relaxer

Hi friends!

For the ladies who relax their hair - have you ever noticed that when it is one week away from doing a touch up your scalp decides to rebel?  Well that was my scalp this past weekend.  I had every intention of relaxing my hair at 12 weeks post, but my scalp rebelled.  So I decided to wait another week before I apply my relaxer.  

Here are some things I do to make sure I have a good relaxer experience:

1. Avoid irritating my scalp,
2. Limit combing to every 2-3 days,
3. Moisturize with more product than usual,
4. Two days before relaxer application, thoroughly detangle hair especially at the roots, and
5. One day before application, lightly spray a liquid moisturizer on my roots to soften them.  This makes parting my hair during application easier.  My roots dry completely before I apply the relaxer.

I'm excited to see how much growth I have retain during the weeks it snowed.

Here are some pictures of my air-dried new growth.

Wavy Hair Style with Steam Rollers

Steam rollers are quick way to style your hair, without worrying about the damaging effects of direct heat from a curling/flat iron.

In this video, I show how to achieve a wavy hairstyle on air dried hair.  You can use the same technique on flat ironed or roller set hair for a much sleeker wavy look.
