That’s the name for this week’s SinfulColors nail polish selection. It seems like a perfect navy and gray combination. I love the deepness of the color. It has a cozy look/feel to it. Think I’ll enjoy wearing this one. What do you think?

I Love Playing Twister…
With my hair of course! You all know how much I loved twisted updo’s. Honestly, I can’t see that ever changing…unless I decide to do another full big chop. There is just so much versatility and opportunity for awesome styles. The options are endless because I am the architect! Before I go on and on about the awesomeness of twisted updo’s (which I easily can!) here’s a look at a couple of my creations this week. Hope you like them!
Bantu Knot Out Fail & Recovery
On the Curly Christians blog last month I did a post about the art of bantu knot outs. I have to admit, bantu knot outs is not an art that I have quite figured out yet. Yesterday I sported what I’d say was a solid attempt at a classic bantu knot style…after my initial style attempt failed. Let me take you through the evolution of the style.
I started with dry stretched hair. I used Shea Moisture Curl & Style Milk and Eco Styler Gel to do my knots.
I slept with a satin scarf and after an uncomfortable night sleep (these things are a beast to sleep on!) I went to work at unravelling the knots. At first glance they looked to have taken pretty well. So naturally I was excited!
Then, as I started carefully separating them things started to go downhill. They did not separate with ease as I hoped and as a result the ends started to get frizzy. I tried to just go with it. Got all the way to work, took a couple of pics and quickly realized it just wasn’t working for me.
Soooo…I quickly improvised. I grabbed a couple of bobby pins and tucked the ends under. I managed to find a super quick and easy way to turn my frizzy not so awesome bantu knot out into a solid attempt at a classic style. Best I could do…considering.
I suppose I’ll just keep working at this bantu knot out thing until I get it down. Let me know if you have any tips!
Unicorn and All About You
This is the creative name of my newest nail color combination. I have to be honest, I wasn’t so sure about the pale yellow that Sinful Colors calls “Unicorn.” I though it might be a bit too pale which is why I opted for their sparkle overlay “All About You”. I think it was a good choice.
Weekend Hair Creations
Hi beauties!
I hope you all had an awesome Labor Day weekend! After washing out that awesome twist out and getting a fresh trim from hubby I tried out a couple of different styles. For a crazy natural hair lover like myself it was tons of fun. Here are some pics from my weekend hair creations.
