Style of the Week


This week I decided to keep it simple. You are going to need the same tools. A rat tail comb, bobby pins, hair milk, and metal clips. Make parts going all the way back to the nape and flat twist going back.  Use hair milk through each section or put some through all of your hair to save yourself some time. Try to make your parts as neat as possible, if you have a hand mirror this would be helpful. Once you are finished take the ends of the twists and twist them into a bun. I made two buns. For those of you that don't have enough hair to do this style, you can make 2 parts on the side and make yourself a twisted headband. Really cute style! This was a signature style for me after I got my haircut! Have a great week! Until next time.....



Side note: Anyone that has a MacBook that is familiar with the iPhoto program could you please e-mail me and let me know what I need to do to create a collage? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Style of the Week

 This week's style is called "twisted up". Ok, I make up names as I go along, feel free to change it up! Tools needed: a rattail comb, metal clips, hair milk, and a headband (optional). What I did for this hairstyle is made a part from ear to ear. Use clips to separate the hair. Then make zig zag, curved parts to the middle and twist going back. Continue until you have completed the front. For the back I made sections and made individual twists. Easy hairstyle. You are welcome to use the headband as an accessory. Viola! You're finished! Enjoy your week! I'll be back again next week! Until then....

Style of the Week


While I continue to update my fotki page, I thought that it would be a great idea to collage some styles that I create and post how I did them on here. Just in case you want some ideas on different styles. I got kind of creative last week and tried a frowhawk. I REALLY like this style. I'm all about keeping my hair protected! For this style you are going to need a rat tail comb, bobby pins and metal clips (to separate your hair into sections). That's it. When I did this style, start on whichever side you choose and make a part going down the side to the nape area. Use metal clips to keep hair separated. Then this is where it gets fun. Make your parts however you like! Get creative, zig zag, straight parts, whatever and twist toward the center. You are going to continue this and repeat the same steps on the other side. For the middle, I made small sections and just twisted all the hair in the middle. The reason I did this is to be able to wear the style until later this week when I get ready to re-do my hair. Also, a few days before I get ready to shampoo my hair I will untwist the middle section to REALLY have the "hawk" effect. Once you have completed twisting your hair, use a few bobby pins to hold the twists up on the sides. Viola! You are done! Enjoy your week!


To maintain this style, sleep in a satin or silk scarf and if necessary use a little hair milk to moisturize your hair.


I've gotten quite a few compliments on this hairstyle. I like it. One person told me that I switch styles all the time. I told the person "Thanks" and kept it moving.


Didn't cost me anything but a few hours of my time. Another reason to go natural. Do it yourself. Practice. I'm not paying for what I can do myself. Plus, I do my hair at my convenience. Not someone elses. Stay tuned! I'll post another style next week! Until then....
