Liquid Gold

So I have been asked to feature on a fellow bloggers' blog (more news coming soon), and whilst answering a few of their questions I realised I used quite a few oils in my natural hair.
Thought I would share them along with their properties with you guys!

My hair today

So today I'm going to get my hair put in a protective style (Single extensions).
Last night I washed my hair with the TRESemme Natural products I bought last week. (Click HERE to read post-Plus review coming soon!).

I blow-dried my hair for the 1st time this year. (I only blow-dry my hair before I put extensions in). Now I don't ever blow-dry my hair straight so it is still a little 'poofy'. I just do it as quick as possible as this means less heat, which in turns=no heat damage. I then twisted in 8 big twists, headscarf, then bed.

This morning it was too hot to put a headscarf on to head to the hairdressers so I had to do something to make it look a little more presentable!
This is what I came up with:-
**Large forehead alert!!** :-)


Real quick style-took 5 mins! What do you think? How are you wearing your hair today?
Will post pics of my extensions later today... PLUS information regarding the box braid inspired giveaway!!!!
 Enjoy the sun, guys!

Natural Hair Meet Up Alert- Sat 7th May 2011

Hi guys,
Great news! Recently found out that there will be a natural Hair Meetup next month.

Too good to be TRESemme!

So went out and about today. Met Mr Man for lunch (nice Thai place in Ealing, West london). Then I did a spot of shopping.
As I walked past Superdrug, I noticed a promotion in the window:

Spelt With a C.... Salutes.... Erykah Badu!

Whilst surfing the net, I stumbled across this picture of Erykah Badu:

Loving the ear-cuff!
And it got me thinking.... Is there no style that this chameleon HASN’T tried?!?!

Product Review: Komaza Care Coconut Curl Kit 2oz

So a few months ago now, I ordered an abundance of products from http://www.britishcurlies.co.uk/. Included in my major hauls was the Trial size Komaza Care Coconut Curl Kit.
Nice 'Natural' packaging, huh?

Shopping!

So... weather was a little crappy yesterday and I had a killer headache so didn't go out at all.
However, woke up bright and early this morning and picked up a few items.
