Always Kinky: Miro Double Strand Twists

I really like the Micro Double Strand twist because you can almost treat it like your own hair. The upkeep is very easy and it keeps people on their toes. As soon as I began twisting my hair the hubby says "You lockin again" with a smile. My mother stated how much younger I look and my friend asked how can she get some like that. I plan on co-washing and moisturizing this style like my hair was loose. But a wash (or swim) and go is almost no fuss! I plan on beginning my trip with these in place :-) Here is my Video on how I rolled them into a Flip (Day 11 and  Day12 of the Project 365)

Always Kinky: Styles and more Styles

Since I released my tresses from the locs, I have been entirely free to try new styles and shapes with my natural hair. For this reason alone I wouldn't want to relax my hair. I could never deny my freedom to create curls, kinks and fluffy styles. It seems that my hair in this state can be thrown around and (with the help of a bobby pin) made fabulous with a flash. I think the key is that I am confident and comfortable and I don't really care if other people like it or not. Here are a couple of my fun styles so far this summer.

 

Always Kinky: Curly Twist Out

This style is definately a go to style without using heat. I made a You-Tube about how to style heat damaged  to hide the straighties. Check it out!.

Step 1. Co Wash with Hello Hydration (leave a little in to detangle)

Step 2. Let the hair dry 90%

Step 3. Seperate the hair to 5 sections

Step 4. Two strand twist and curl with "flexi-rod" type curler

Step 5. Set until dry (over night)

Step 6. Take out and finger lift to your liking (the bigger the better)

Always Kinky: The Curly Blow Out

I have decided to take a break from the Ceramic Treatment and just stick to blow drying for now for fear of further damaging my hair. I did this look in hopes that I create the Big Hair that I have always dreamed of.

Step 1: Co-wash and detangle with conditioner of choice and Denman.

Step 2: Add a little more condtioner to protect from the heat and separate the hair in 4 twists.

Step 3: Blow dry in sections.

Step 4: Add Cream Oil moisturizer

Step 5: Roll with Flexirods

Step 6: Finger Fluff to your liking (pull fingers all the way through for "afro-like" result)
