The Almost Infinity Twist

November 14, 2014 writtenintentions Leave a comment

Hello loves!!

I’ve got some major catching up to do on blog posts but I just wanted to show you all my hair of the day.

I straightened my hair earlier this week so that I could trim my ends and so I’ve been playing with some styles . Today I went with this…

It reminds me a lot of an infinity braid or twist which I love but this is nothing more than two flat twists. I separated my hair into two fairly equal sections. For the front section I flat twisted all if the hair to the left side. And for the back I did the same thing. Lastly I tucked the end of the front flat twist inside the flat twist in the back, and I tucked the end of the back flat twist inside the front one. Here are some more pics!

P.S. I get my iPhone 6 Plus next week so videos coming soon!

Good morning loves!

Today I’ve got a new twisted updo that is giving me so much life!! Probably one of my favorites yet. So here are the deets on how I got the look

1. First I started with dry stretched hair.
2. I moisturized my hair with Carols Daughter Hair Milk.
3. I separated a medium size section in the front of my hair and did a fairly secured twist forward and to the left.
4. I then separated out another 3 sections twisting them all forward and to the left until I ended up here:

5. Then, starting with the twist in the back I pulled the twist forward and bobby pinned it up under the twist in front of it. I repeated this for the next twisted section.
6. When I got to the two front twists I just pulled them to the side and tucked the ends under the twist behind them and secured them with a bobby pin.

Here’s the final look. What do you think?

World Natural Hair Show HOTD

October 29, 2014 writtenintentions Leave a comment

This past weekend I attended the Taliah Waajid World Natural Hair Show. This was my second time attending with my first being back in May of this year so I figured I new what to expect. I was hoping to network with some of the bigger brands to discuss possible sponsorships for some things I have planned for the Curly Christians brand. To my surprise the vendor attendance was nothing like it was in May. It was much smaller so unfortunately I didn’t do much networking. I did however attend the Naturals After Dark Fashion Show which was great! There were some talented fashion designers and very cool entertainment.

As for my hair of the day for the event, I decided on a twisted updo which turned out to be probably my most elaborate style yet! I LOVED it and so did a lot of other naturalistas. Its a total of 6 twists. Not super tough but not something I’d put together during the work week either. Here are some pics

So Monday night I got bold, again! I know, I’m a little crazy. Lol. I wanted to take my undercut to the next level so I gave hubby the scissors and the clippers.

I decided to take more off the sides and shape up the back a bit more. Love the results! Can’t wait to start creating with this look. Here are some pics

Last Week’s Hair Recap

October 18, 2014 writtenintentions 2 Comments

Hi beauties!

Another crazy week! But I wanted to give you guys a recap of my natural hairstyles from the week. Let’s jump right in.

This first was definitely the most popular style of the week. I got a lot of positive feedback on this one with interest on how I created the look. Think I’ll pull this one out and do a separate post with deets so stay tuned. To sum it up its a pompadour twist with a twisted bun.

This next style is a simple flat twist and a twisted bun. Loved this look.

Next look is three twisted buns with a lot if dimension. It looks complex but is super simple.

Up next, a pompadour and puff. This was a little different for me but I really like the way it turned out! Here’s a look at how I paired it up too.

And the last look of the week is actually my favorite. I pulled a twist forward and paired it with a high bun.
Love!

That’s it! Which look do you like best?

Two Chunky Twists, That’s It!

October 2, 2014 writtenintentions 2 Comments

Good morning loves!!

Most of my styles are fairly easy to do and take no more than 15-20 minutes. Well today’s look was even easier and took 10 minutes tops! I used Shea Moisture Curl & Style Milk to prep. Here’s how I did it:

I separated my hair into two ponytails. One on the top and one on the bottom.

I very loosely twisted each ponytail. This creates more dimension and depth for the style.

I secured the big chunky twist on the top to the right side of the second ponytail with a bobby pin.

For the chunky twist on the bottom I pinned it up to the left side of the ponytail on the top.

Super simple! Two chunky twists, that’s it!

Shea Moisture Curling Gel Soufflé

Good morning loves!

Last night I decided to try out Shea Moisture’s Curling Gel Soufflé. I love all of the She’s Moisture products I’ve tried so I was excited to use this new product.

For a gel it definitely isn’t heavy. It feels more water based than a typical gel and seemed to act more like a moisturizing agent.

I twisted my hair in medium size twists using the Curling Gel Soufflé and then loosely pin curled each twist.

I unraveled the pin curls and twists in the morning and gently separated the twists. My hair was definitely well moisturized which was great. After I was done styling I did have a sticky residue on my hands but I’d say that’s pretty typical of any gel.

For the look I of course pinned up the back to have a view of the undercut, but I left a large section on the left side out. My hair is full and fairly defined. Overall I really like the look. I’ll definitely try the Curling Gel Soufflé again for another style. Here are some pics of the final look. What do you think?

Today’s hair is a combination of the things I love most. Twists and ease! Here’s how I got the look.

1. First I wet my old wash and go from this week.

3. I separated the top pony into two sections and twisted each section loosely.

4. I pulled the twists forward and loosely pinned them both to the left side of the pony.

5. For the back I did one chunky loose twist and pinned it up.

That’s it! Took me 10 minutes! Twisted and easy! Here are some pics. Have a great day!

Helloooo loves!!!

It was another long work week. But I’m back with my undercut’s new favorite style…and mine! It’s definitely this big side pompadour. I am loving it. I especially love the fact that I can play with different variations that all end up dope!

This past week I wore the style for the first time to work and it got so much love.

How many ways can you wear a side pompadour? My new favorite game to play. Lol! Here are some picks…

Versatile Styles From This Week

September 13, 2014 writtenintentions 3 Comments

Good Morning Beauties!!

I was crazy busy with work but I wanted to catch you all up on my versatile stiles from this week. I have to say I really was into switching it up every day. That’s one of the awesome things about natural hair, the ability for it to be so versatile creates even more opportunity for different styles!

Ok…let’s walk through the week

Monday I did a super high twistout pony, pulled all the hair to the front and swooped it to the side.

On Tuesday I was in the mood for some really high hair so I came up with this creation.

On Wednesday I had a taste for straight hair so I flat ironed a high pony and went with this sleek look.

Thursday the straight hair was over and it was on to this unique twisted up do.

And yesterday I had my first date night with hubby since moving to ATL and I went with this high side pompadour.

And today is a whole new day!! Who knows what I’ll come up with next. Have a great day guys!!
