CURLS Passion Fruit Control Paste

Ok, It's my turn! I completely concur that CURLS Passion Fruit Control Paste is AMAZING not to mention it smells great! But since I'm a naturalista, I have a different take on its amazingness! First and foremost, I love its versatility because not only will it lay down your edges but it will also define your natural kinks, curls, & coils! I love the consistency of the paste, it is NOT sticky or pasty which is critical when applying a control paste and it does not flake. This paste also adds shine to your hair without it appearing greasy. Also, this product will last a long time because you do not need much to achieve the look you want whether it's a natural top bun or a twist-out! I definitely recommend all my naturals girls out there to try CURLS curl control paste! You can find this product at your local Target, it is only $7.99!  Let me know what you think!

New twist to a twist out!!!

Hey guys! This time with my twist out, I decided to do something a little different. I used milkshake straws to put on the ends of my twist out! I twisted my hair normally, but instead I put straws on the end to give more curl and definition! Not to mention, the straws were only $1 from Rite Aid! Can't beat that! What do you think? I like it! :) -Rin

Twists using Dark & Lovely's NEW coil moisturizing souffle'

Tonight after washing and conditioning my hair, I decided to twist it using Dark & Lovely's Au Naturale Coil Moisturizing Souffle'! It worked really on my twists! The souffle' has very smooth consistency and upon application, it softens the hair. In regards to smell, it does not have a strong scent. It actually has a faint mango smell which is attributed to the mango oil in the product. I also really liked that it did not leave my hair crunchy, my hair is still soft to touch. I look forward to my twist out to see the definition of the twists! Don't worry, I will be sure to update you all!!! So, stay tuned!

From mini twist to twist out!!!!

So, I rocked my mini twists for a week, but it was time to take them out! It took me about three hours to put in my twists but only 20 minutes to remove them! Exciting!!! I love how versatile my natural hair is! What do you think of my twist out? Yay or nay?!

Flexi rod FAIL saved by Eden Body Works!!!!

One time for Eden Body Works, Coconut Shea Control Edge Glaze!!!! I washed and conditioned my hair and afterwards I rolled my hair with flexi rods. However, the following morning, when I removed the rods, my hair was not looking good! When I say not looking good, I mean a HOT MESS! Fortunately, I decided to salvage my hair by using Eden Body Works Control Edge Glaze and make a mohawk. Can you see how smooth my edges are? Laid, right? I like to think so! :) This glaze is only $8.99! Click here to purchase http://www.edenbodyworks.com/

Mini Twist Out by Rin

After being inspired by Naptural 85 (pictured,left) and her MANY mini twist outs, I figured I would try to conquer the mini twist out as well! Four hours later, I am happy with my results. I washed and conditioned my hair and then detangled. After detangling, I split my hair into four sections and used Shea Moisture's Raw Shea Butter Leave-in conditioner. Once the conditioner saturated my hair, I used Shea Moisture's curling smoothie on each piece of hair that I twisted. I hope this style last at least two weeks!
      What do you think of my results? Yay or Nay?

Rin's FIRST Wash and Go!!!

So, today I decided to BRAVE my natural hair fear, the dreaded wash and go! I have been natural for almost two years. However, I have yet to have the courage to rock a wash and go! I just felt my curls, coils, kinks, whatever you wanna call them did not have enough definition. Well, after thinking long and hard, I decided to give it a go! What do you think? I have to say, I might just do it again. To be honest, I did not wash, I just conditioned after my shower with Shea Moisture's Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner. After conditioning, I sectioned my hair in four parts and detangled with my shower comb. Once detangled, I first used Miss Jessie's Jelly Soft Curls gel on each section followed Eco Styler gel with olive oil. I am happy with my results and I have to say I am learning to love my hair more and more each day! :) Tell me, should I do it again? -Rin
