Crochet Faux Locs | Bobbi Boss Bae Locs

Todays post is a hair review on the Bobbi Boss Bae Locs! If you follow me on Instagram, then you already know I wore this hairstyle for almost a month. These locs were released on April 18th online at Beauty Depot & of course I got them that night. The locs are thicker than their other existing styles, the Bobbi Boss Bomba Dreadlock Soul (discontinued but still available until sold out) & the Bobbi Boss Nu Locs. I’ve included a picture of all 3 locs side by side for size comparison. This loc style is meant to mimic the popular…

Crochet Faux Locs | Janet Collection Mambo Rockin’ Locs

Hey everyone! Today we are back with another protective style review! This time, Janet Collection reached out to me to do a review on their new product, the “Mambo Rockin’ Locs”. Below is a photo from their website showing how the hair looks in the packaging & once installed. Retail price is $9.99 was ($5.99 on sale currently) at Beauty Depot. If I’m being quite honest, I was nervous about this hairstyle. These locs really looked very, very authentic. Authentic in this context being my way of saying they looked truly matted & exactly what you think of when you…

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.

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. I wanted to go with something that wasn’t another faux loc style but still cute. When I…

My Natural Hair Journey

Hi guys! Feels like I haven’t been here in soo long! I’ve had finals recently & if you’re in school you know how finals can be sometimes but I’m back! Today as you’re reading this I’m probably in the process of having my hair done but I felt like this post should be about my natural hair. After taking down my last protective style just over a week ago I’ve been rocking my natural curls. Of course, with rocking my natural hair comes a lot of questions & understandable curiosity from everyone especially those who had no idea my hair was…

Jumbo Senegalese Twists

Hey everyone! As you can see, today we’re chatting about the jumbo senegalese twists I recently had done. These were not crochet, they were hand done by Tess & came out beautifully! We used (if i am not mistaken) 10 packs of hair.. yes, that many. A combination of 6 Nappy Annie & 4 Kanekalon all in colour #1. If you’re really into protective styles or hair in general the way I am you, probably follow a lot of various hair pages like I do. This particular hairstyle I saw on Sira Kante (@inkmyafrica) & I was like “yaaaas girl!”. I definitely stole her look…
