My Crazy Cool Curlbox Features
Hello loves!!
I hope everyone’s ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus!! I know I am. I so love this time of year ❤
I wanted to do a quick blog post highlighting my crazy cool features by the Curlbox Crew. Curlbox is one of my absolute favorite Instagrm accounts to follow. They feature some of the most amazing natural hair pics. So when I saw that I was featured on one of their “Insta Talk” posts about holiday hairstyles last week I was pretty excited.
This was a look from last week that I did on flat ironed hair. It’s a total of two flat twists. Looks complex but not so much. Here are a few more pics.
And if that wasn’t enough I found out today that I was featured again on the Curlbox blog 5 Fab Holiday Styles. Check it out herehttps://www.facebook.com/curlbox/posts/694325210683844:0
This is my go to straight hair side flat twist. So excited for this great company to be leveraging my styles to inspire the natural hair community. I’m on the waiting list to start getting my own Curlbox. Can’t wait! To find out more about Curlbox click here.
Creativity Never Sleeps
Hello beauties!
So, it turns out that the saying “Creativity never sleeps” really is true. Earlier this week I had a dream about this awesome flat twist style. It was gorgeous! I thought I’d give a shot at accomplishing it on Monday. Fail. Don’t get me wrong, it was nice but not at all like what I visioned in my dream.
Today, I thought I’d give it another shot. Here’s the video of my effort which yielded another fail but an incredibly nice, unique creative fail! Lol. Let me know what you think.

Family, Good Food & Great Hair
Hi beauties!
After an awesome Thanksgiving Holiday in Tampa, the family and I are on our way back to Atlanta. It went by entirely too quickly but the family time was great.
Using my in-laws Christmas decorated front porch as a back drop for pics, the holiday hair was a mixed bag of twist styles and fros! Thanksgiving eve I went with this high twisted bun.
Thanksgiving day was a unique flat twisted updo. Really love how this one turned out.
Black Friday I though I’d let the Fro loose. As always it was very refreshing. It’s tons of textured gave me life which was much needed for the long day of shopping.
And lastly on Saturday a day filled with running around with a one year old and two three year olds I decided in a simple high bun.
All in all it was a long weekend full of family, good food and great hair! I hope you all had as wonderful a holiday as I did. Here are some more pics

Straight Hair Style Compilation
Happy Saturday!
I hope you all are having a great weekend. I wanted to take some time today to do a recap of my straight hair adventures over the last two weeks. I had way more fun styling my hair than I thought I would. So here are the deets!
It had been quite a while since my last trim and with the frigid Atlanta weather we’ve been having I figured the timing was pretty perfect to straighten my hair, do some maintenance and have some fun.
To straighten my hair I first of course washed and conditioned it. After that I blew it out first prepping my hair using the Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Flat Iron Protector. Then I sectioned my hair starting from the back and started flat ironing. Here’s what I used to flat iron my hair:
I love the Tool Science Titanium flat iron. My hubby bought me a Chi and I still prefer my Tool Science over the Chi. Here are my flat iron results.
Not bad right!? Now for the styles. What I love most about the styles I came up with is that they were all for the most part protective styles, and they took no more than 10 minutes to do! Ok, I’m going to number them out. Let me know which one(s) you like best.
Style 1
Style 2
Style 3
Style 4
Style 5
Style 6
Style 7
I had so much fun getting creative with styles for my straightened hair! I’m already excited about my next straight hair adventure. Comment and let me know which one is your favorite.
