Now you guys know that I’ve worn twists numerous times. But never have they looked like this! There’s something about this undercut that just does something different to my twists.
Ok so obviously I’m feeling my new cut. Really, this was an awesome decision. Sometimes on this natural hair journey it pays to just try something new!
As some of you know I’ve been thinking about cutting my hair. Well, Saturday morning the thinking came to an end and I took action! After a lot of thought I decided that while I’m not ready for another big chop I was totally up for an undercut!
My true undercut inspiration came a few weeks ago when I did a post on the Curly Christians blog called “Up Your Undercut Game”. It seems as though on my mission to inspire other naturalistas on cool ways to keep their natural hair journey interesting, I ended up inspiring myself! After tons of photo research on undercuts I really started considering the idea.
This past Friday after looking through one of my major creative inspirations Instagram page, Kaori Nik, I said to myself “Yep! I’m doing it”. This beautiful and talented woman’s pics put me in motion!
With that, I called my hubby and told him I wanted him to cut my hair this weekend. Up for just about anything he said, “Ok, sure.” Saturday morning came, I parted my hair how I wanted it and hubby took care of the rest.
I styled it in a high twist out ponytail with a little hair out in the front. I absolutely LOVE the results!! Hubby did a great job and am so excited about this next chapter of my natural hair journey!
Here are the pics!
Today I decided to embrace the frizz! I re-wet yesterday’s wash and go and threw it up in a loose ponytail leaving just a little out in the front. Typically I would add just a little Eco Styler to help redefine the curls but today I decided not to do that.
See, the thing about natural hair is, frizzy works!
This combination is great for weekends! Sunday I decided to roll with this combo for our first BBQ since moving to ATL. I pulled together two great colors and got this look! The shadow is from my BH Cosmetics 120 Color Eyeshadow Palette and the lipstick is VaVa Violet by Revlon.
Hi beauties!
Today I went with a classic look and tried out some faux bangs for the first time. I didn’t want the complete retro style so I swept them to the side but I think I really like it. What do you think?
Last night I had a bit of free time and decided to set my hair in 5 chunky flat twists using Dark & Lovely’s Au Naturale Super Softening Hair Butter. This is the first time I’ve tried a flat twist out and I absolutely love the results! I didn’t do much for styling, pretty much just unraveled the twists.
This style is great for fall when the humidity is low. We’re not quite there in Atlanta so I’ll be staying inside today :o)

Hi beauties!
Today, the fam and I attended a BBQ which I honestly wasn’t looking forward to mainly because I had so much to do around the house. Fortunately, it actually turned out to be a really nice time.
To help get some pep in my step I decided to go with my favorite color as part of the OOTD, cobalt! I paired a pink maxi skirt with my “I am a woman of God” cobalt tee that I cropped on my own. I also decided to color my nails in SinfulColors “Endless Blue”. Love it!
As for my hair I haven’t yet loosed my curly fro at work so it’s pretty much become my go to style on the weekend. Today was no exception. Here are some pics
Yep! Pretty much made my week. What a surprise it was to spot myself on Essence.com! Two of my Instagram posts made the cut for their EssenceHair page. You can check them out here along with some other great naturalistas.
Shout out to this great publication for keeping pace with the natural hair movement.
Hope you all are doing great. I’ve got that natural hair style new new on deck today!
Decided to try out a new style and I’m seriously digging it. This is a simple chunky flat twist and bun. It’s great for work or to keep your hair up and out of the way on weekends.
Here’s a brief how-to:
First I separated out some hair in the front (this is typically how I start most of my styles). Then I flat twisted that chunk of hair to the left side. I pulled the rest of my hair into a bun and pulled the flat twist back and pinned it close and snug to the bun. That’s it!

Hi beauties!
After a long weekend visiting family and celebrating my 7 year wedding anniversary in Tampa I’m behind on blog posts. Here’s some major texture and curls from the weekend to help get me back on track.
I achieved this look with Shea Moisture Curl & Style Milk and Eco Styler Gel with Olive Oil.
