Deep Conditioning with 2 strand twists

 So I started on my hair at 1pm and didn't finish until 7:30 pm. Why so long you may ask well, first I had to make my avocado mix. 2 avocados, Suave Humectant VO5 Tea Therapy and Free Me Fresia, Herbal Essences Hello Hydration, LustraSilk Shea Butter Conditioner. I dumped all this into my food processor until I have the creamy consistency I was looking for. I basically used the same process as before. This time I left it on my hair about a hour and a half before I washed it out. I really didn't know what style I wanted to try but because of my now hectic schedule I figured I better do a style that is going to last for a little while so mini twists it was. My hair has grown a lot in my opinion and so far I have no evidence of any heat damage from yesterday's botched straightening experiment.

Update Seriously over due

Okay lifehas been extremely busy and I have been neglecting this blog and my hair :( I just took my hair out of kinky twists and have been rocking my puff, which has definitely grown. I even successfully was able to get my hair into two afro puffs. I actually think my hair is approaching the length it was when I did my BC back in February. I can't believe it's been almost 8 months.

I actually did a twist out mohawk when I went out to celebrate my birthday. I'm so loving my hair in its natural state. Seriously never going back to creamy crack ever again. I can do so many more styles with my hair now and it is much healthier. The third picture was my very first attempt at two strand flat twists, I think I did a pretty good job. Two strand twists are my second most favorite style and I plan on doing some in the morning after I do a much needed deep conditioning. I actually straightened my hair today just to check my growth and I couldn't stand it. For one I don't have the patience to completely straighten it nor do I want heat damage, so I sort of have this semi straight natural afro going on. I'm so washng my hair in the morning straight hair is not for me I like my curls scratch that I love my curls. My hair is finally starting to grown down and hang as oppossed to the growing out and poofy look. As each month passes I am getting more and more curl definition.

2 strand twists followed by a twistout puff





4 months after I did my big cut and I am still loving my hair, in 2 months I am going to do a blow out and see exactly how big my fro has gotten. These pictures are a few days old and I am actually rocking a twist out puff. Not exactly sure what style I am going to try next but I do know one thing I love my hair in it's natural state.
The products I used to achieve this look I cowashed with QP Elasta Moisturizing Shampoo then I used Hello Hydrations Conditioner. I separated my hair in to several sections moisturized my hair with Shea butter then proceeded to twist my hair in each section. My hair took about 3.5 hours but only because I kept stopping and doing other things. I left my hair like this Sunday thru Thursday and rocked a twistout puff from Thursday night until currently. Still having issues with the middle front part of my hair. No idea what's going on my hair is completely natural but that part is straight with minimal curl pattern which kind of makes certain styles impossible to achieve.

Hair Schedule all messed up

Totally Twisted

So once again I was surfing the net looking for hairstyles to try out on my TWA. All last week I wore puffs or a curly fro but this week I needed something new. There isn't much I can do with my hair at the moment because it is so short but I'm willing to try anything once. So the style I chose this time is similar to a previous style I did before. I did two strand twists all over my head except on the left side of my head, this is where I flat twisted my hair diagonally and then 2 strand twisted the ends.


Products Used:
My conditioner Mix-- VO5 Moisture Milks Passion Fruit Smoothie with Water
My Shea Butter Mix
IC Fantasia Gel- The pink one
Castor Oil to seal

How I achieved this style:

First I saturated my hair with my conditioner mix then I divided my hair into several sections, the only section I actually parted out was the left side for the flat twists.



I first started on the right side. I re-spritzed my hair with my conditioner mix the applied some IC fantasia gel to my hair and started to 2 strand twist my hair.


The next section I did was the front, I 2 strand twisted my hair towards the front using the same products I used on the right side. Next I moved on to the left side of my hair, I divided my hair into sections and then started to flat twist my hair and then 2 strand twisted the ends. My hair was starting to get a little dry so I re-spritzed my hair, my hair sucks up water.


Now it was time to finally tackle the back of my head, I usually get tired around this section and get a little lazy and getting sloppy with my twists but these actually came out nice.

Two strand twists and on my TWA

I have been dying to see if I had enough hair after my big chop to do two strand twists.So tonight I decided to give it a try. I co-washed my hair with Suave's Professional Humectant applied my shea butter mix then sealed it with Africa's Best Herbal Oil. OMG I heard so many things about this oil and so far I'm loving it , it even smells good. Anyway back the matter at hand. I separated my hair into four sections, three little ones in the front and one big puff in the back. The two small sections on the sides I did in five flat twists and the middle section I did in two strand twists towards the front.  
Before I forget I got this style idea from: Quick TWA Twist-N-Style



I can't believe even with my TWA it still took three hours to finish my hair. My fingers hurt and I am tired of hair. For once I think I might stay out of my hair for more than a day. I have developed a severe case of HIMH disease. Final pictures:
