Protective Style: Mini Challenge

Okay so I failed at my first attempt to wear a protective style for any length of time, But I'm back to try again.

Today I was just not pleased with how my hair was looking. Ever since I cut an inch off my hair, it has not looked right. So I'm at the point where I'm sick and tired of doing my hair. After 3 failed twist outs out of frustration I put in flat twist on the front and sides of my hair and pinned up the back.

Fingers crossed this style will last me for the week. It's 20 degrees outside and my hair is feeling very dry, hopefully this will protect my ends.

back to curly

I've gone back to my curly hair. I conditioned washed with Olive Oil Mayonnaise conditioner (I forget the brand) and my hair came out very soft.

I used Jane Carters' leave in conditioner spray and KimmeyTube's conditioner.
And I used Afroveda coco latte to twist my hair.

When I took apart my twists they were super soft and defined and I have to say much better than My Jessies Curly Pudding!!.

So I now believe that afro veda will be one of my staple products as well as Jane Carters Leave-in.

I'm am trying to get out of the habit of believing that my hair has to be PERFECT. Sometimes a little messy is cute and I have to take the pressure of myself with trying to make my twist-outs "perfect".
Friday I thought my hair looked crazy because I had a failed twist out (using Miss Jessies Curly Pudding) and I had to sprits my hair into a little fro.
It was fine. No one looked at me funny or even seemed to notice that my hair was not defined w/curls.

My Goal this week is to see if my twist out can last two more days before I have to twist it again.  *Fingers Crossed* ooooh what if I can get a week out of it!!!

straight hair

Yesterday I blow dried my hair so that I could clip my ends and I was said that I had to cut almost 1/2 in of hair...sniff.
But for the most part my hair was very healthy.

Considering I cut ALL my hair off a year ago: AND have cut my hair 2x within that year, I'm pleased with the length. :P
For a minute I thought that I would wear my hair straight for the rest of the winter but then I changed my mind. My hair is very thin and I like the fullness of my natural coils.

Up Next:

The next style I would like to master is Coils and Coil-outs!

Every time I try my hair gets tangles but I'm hoping that since I cut off 

my split ends, it will not tangle as much any more.

Namaste!

Review Miss Jessies' Curly Pudding vs. Afroveda

Miss Jessies' Curly Pudding or Afroveda?

Okay, I love the definition of my twists w/Miss Jessis' Curly Pudding, but no matter how chunky I make my twists, when I undo them they are always skinny. Miss Jessies' is great for my hair if I want definition and elongation of my twist so that I can do an Up Do--- but NOT for twists outs.

On Afroveda: yes is leaves my hair a bit greasy (I don't use that much) but I've never had a problem creating a great look with my twist out using Coco Latte Moisture. So I will have to choose Afroveda. Also I never feared how my hair would turn out in the morning w/Coco Latte Moisture because I knew my hair would be fine. Afroveda is a more reliable product on my hair.

With the Curly Pudding, it's hit or miss as to what my hair will look like if I'm going for a twistout. But the twist themselves look AMAZING so Miss Jessies' gets a big thumbs up over Afroveda on that note.

So on based on my results I have to say for twist outs its Afroveda all the way.

For Twists that I want to stay in my Hair its Miss Jessies' curly pudding hands down. It offers more hold.
