4 Years Natural & Why It Was One Of My Best Decisions

1 Comment

This weekend I celebrated 4 amazing years of being natural!! I can’t believe how fast the time has gone by. I’ve had so much fun along this journey.  I can honestly say that making the decision to embrace my natural hair is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. To commemorate my 4 year natural hair anniversary, here are 4 reasons why this was one of my best decisions ever:

1.  This journey has opened my eyes to gifts and talents that I never knew I was blessed with. Who knew how good I was at hairstyling?!  I never thought I could be so innovative and creative when it comes to hair. And to add icing to the cake I truly enjoy it!

2.  I can’t tell you all how much I DO NOT miss relaxed hair! Seriously! One of the things I love most about my natural hair is the versatility and endless options for styling. I never realized how limited I was with relaxed hair.

3.  Never would I have thought that going natural would lead me right into one of my greatest life purposes, Curly Christians.  This platform & network is bridging the gap between natural hair, fashion and the gospel of Christ. I am so honored that God entrusted this entity to me.

4.  Lastly, this natural hair journey has given me a big opportunity to inspire thousands and thousands of people. Being an inspiration for other women is an amazing thing. I don’t take it lightly. 

That’s it! 4 years, 4 reasons why being natural has made my life so much better. Let’s see what another year of natural will uncover!

Good morning loves!

Today I’ve got a tutorial for a retro look that I absolutely adore. This has to be one of my all time favorite looks. I posted about this style a couple of weeks ago here and thought it would be a great idea to show you all how I got the look. Enjoy!

Twist Pull Pin & Protect

Leave a comment

That pretty much describes today’s style! My hair was really dry this morning so I rejuvenated it with Some products from the Creme of Nature Aragan Oil line. Worked like a charm!



After I added some moisture back to my hair I really wanted to lock it in so I did several chunky twists around my head (Don’t mind my wisdom hairs). 



Afte that I just pulled and pinned the twists down.



Finally I end up with a nice easy protective style that is allowing my hair to soak up all the goodness from the Creme of Nature products throughout the day! What do you think?

A Little Twist To The Crown Braid

Good morning loves!

Today’s hair is a little unusual for me in that it is not stretched…at all! I was a little lazy this weekend and didn’t wash my hair until this morning. Because of that, my hair is styled wet. I brought back out the Dove Creme Serum and Dark and Lovely Easy Twist Gel N Butter that I got in the March curlBOX and used it to style today’s hair.


As for the style I decided to put a little twist on the crown/halo braid (literally). The style is a total of 3 flat twists that I pulled and pinned into this unique style.

Twisted With Design Essentials

Leave a comment

Hi beauties!

The March curlBOX was filled with goodies by Design Essentials. I plan to use the complete system this weekend when I wash my hair but I had to try out the Coconut & Monoi Deep Moisture Milk Souffle. 



This product has a great consistency to it. It has a lot of slip which works well for me since I typically work with dry stretched hair. Yesterday I decided on a half crown flat twist with some lift that came out really nice.







I ended up being really lazy last night and slept with my hair just like this.  In the morning I had a nice chunky twist out going on. My hair was still very nice and moisturized from the Moisture Milk Souffle which made my hair prep super simple.   I just rolled twisted and tucked the hair to get today’s look. Love it!







Can’t wait to try out the rest of the Design Essential products in the March CurlBox this weekend. Stay tuned!

Good Morning loves!

I’ve been out of commission for a bit because I’ve been under the weather but I’m trying to work my way back into some normalcy! Today I’m wearing this retro hairstyle paired with a mens Claiborne button down and a charcole blazer both thrifted from the Good Will.  I am absolutely in love with this look.
