Easy Bun Hawk

Leave a comment

Hello beauties!

Probably one of my favorite all time buns and what I considered to be my go-to bun before I layered my hair is this super easy, edgy but chic bun hawk.

The technique to get the look never changes but depending on the texture of your hair (wet, semi-dry/stretched or completely stretched) it can come out a little differently like you see above.

Before I started challenging myself to do something different every single day, this was an easy way to get a protective, creative yet simple style, especially if I was really short on time.

Twisted Updo Tutorial 

4 Comments

Morning lovelies!

Today I’ve got a video tutorial for a twisted updo. This look was the #1 voted style from the week that I wore it. 


The prep and style time took me about 7 minutes total!


The product I used to get this original look was from the June curlBOX. It’s the Sacred Tiare Styling Creme. This product was nice and thick and offered great shine. It also helped to control my frizz which helped the style look nice and neat. I didn’t use the product in the re-creation video tutorial as its focused on the methodology of how I achieved the style.

Muuahhhh!

Another Perk Of Twisted Updos

Leave a comment

Ever wish you could start the day with your end of day hair. It’s kinda like how 3rd and 4th day twist outs have a tendency to slay harder than days 1 and 2. Well, this is my reality at least 2 days out of the week.

Despite my total adoration for updos, I love big messy, curly with a side of frizz type hair just as much as the next naturalista. My ability to end the day with a brand new beautiful natural hairstyle is yet another perk of twisted updo styling! 

If you follow me on Instagram you know I post those let down hair slayage pics fairly often. While I am consistently amazed at the transformation, I love to showcase the additional opportunity for natural hair styling made pretty effortlessly from the days updo (which typically takes no longer than 10 minutes whether my hair is straight or not.)

So, as I sit here enjoying today’s updo thinking about what awesomeness I’ll encounter when I get home and let my hair down, here is a look at some before and after, from updo to let down hair slayage transformations.

Good morning loves!!

Since I straightened my hair last week I’ve been having a ton of fun creating some unique styles. I’m going to do a recap of all of them but today I wanted to focus on the look from yesterday.

This style got a lot of attention yesterday and there were several requests for a tutorial. I’ve been wanting to start my YouTube Chanel back up so I thought this would be a great opportunity! Please keep in mind that this is my first video in over a year so bare with me as I get back into the swing of things.

Please subscribe to my channel and let me know what other looks you’d like to see tutorials on. Here are a couple more pics of the style and the link to the video tutorial. Enjoy!
