Natural Hair Journey – Update 1 (July 2018)

Natural Hair Journey – Update 1 (July 2018)

  If you’ve been following along with me on my natural hair journey from the beginning with my initial natural hair post, you know that I’ve been fully natural since December 2015 after transitioning for one year. That would mean I am currently 2 years & 6 months natural! The time has flown by so fast! That also means I am well over due for a natural hair update. For the summer, I’ve decided to give protective styles a small break (well, we’ll see 🤔) & give my natural tresses some time to shine. I always wear my hair in…

Crochet Braids | FreeTress Wavy Senegalese Twists 18″

Crochet Braids | FreeTress Wavy Senegalese Twists 18″

Hi lovlies! As you can see from my Instagram, I’ve had some new hairstyles in the past month or so. That being said, today’s review is on the “FreeTress Hair Synthetic Crochet Braids Wavy Senegalese Twist”. I have never done true individual Senegalese twists from scratch before, outside of my super jumbo Senegalese twists that I did back in 2016.     I like to be experimental with my hairstyles & wanted to try something new for a girls trip I had planned.

Crochet Faux Locs | FreeTress 2x Soft Wavy Locs

Hi everyone! As promised this is going to be my review on my most recent crochet faux locs using FreeTress 2x Soft Wavy Loc 20″. I used 7 packs that I got from SamsBeauty.com & they cost $8 a pack. I used 2 packs of BLBK & 5 packs of #1. As always they were installed by Tess.   If you saw my review of the Bobbi Boss Bomba Dreadlocks Soul which I absolutely LOVED, then you know I thought they were super light. When I got my hands on these all I could think was, “well excuse me FreeTress with your feather weight hair!😯” These locs are literally light as…

Crochet Curls

Crochet Curls

Hello my darlings! So today’s post is going to be all about the hairstyle that started it all & got me into protective styles in the first place, Crochet Curls! This has definitely been one of my cutest hairstyles to date! I loved being a curly sue which is why I had this style done at least 4 times last year! As with all my protective styles to date, this was done by Tess. We used 10 packs of Janet Noir Afro Twist Braid & used perm rods to curl the hair.   Story time! So I’ve never really done the whole “weave” thing, except in…
