Updates

It's been a while, huh?

I disappeared but I am back now.  Here are a couple of quick updates...

1. I tried the Havana Twists myself and they came out...ok. I meant to retry but I never did.

2. My three year hair anniversary was on October 26, 2013. I did a very light flat iron to find that I was BSL. I followed with a trim because my ends were embarrassing.

3. Right around my three year anniversary I was about 8 months post and I had no intention of relaxing anytime soon. I did a lot of protective styling with my favorite half wig Creta Girl.

4. At the end of January, I was almost 12 months post and I was getting annoyed with two textures. I really had no intention of relaxing. I had fallen in love with my new growth....and I needed a change......

Big Chop January 31, 2014

Yup. Im natural now and I love it! I big chopped on January 31, 2014. I am learning my hair all over again and I am excited to share the journey with you all!

How have you all been?

Solange's Havana Twists

Have you all noticed the Havana Twist trend around the hair community? I am not one for trends, but this protective style really has me feeling experimental. I have been particularly interested in Solange Knowles' twists (perhaps because I tend to follow her unique style more so than a lot of other celebrities). At the 6th Annual Roots Festival she wore her twists flowing down her back and she looked beautiful!

More recently, for her performance at the Art Basel in Switzerland, Solange wore her twists in a beautiful up-do. Her style make me even more excited to try these twists and experiment with different up-do styles.

I am definitely going to be doing my research on installing these twists sometime this summer. I've already watched some informative YouTube videos and plan on watching some more. When I give it a try I will definitely be sharing here on the blog.

Have any of you tried the havana twists before? How did you like it? Any tips?
