Koils-n-Kinks

                                                 Thinking of revisiting this grease of "yesteryear"? The old school magic? I did, and it wasn't too bad. Mom used this ish for any and everything that had to do with hair. Pressing, greasing the scalp, smoothing down those curls, plaiting, twists and pony tails.  I used the green Blue Magic for this twist out. What's the difference between the green and blue you ask? Your guess is as good as mine!! I found out there are like, 8 different formulations, aloe, argan, coconut, castor oil, etc. IF it didn't contain petroleum, I might be more apt to use it. Maybe I'll try it this winter after a deep conditioning, moisturizing session. I'll just have to make sure to use a REAL shampoo, you know the squeaky clean kind. My results:

Okay, I know I've been taking a break from this blogging thing, it's sooooo easy to "forget" about it. It in no way means that I have stopped experimenting with new methods of hair care. I am so in love with Naptural85 , she is my ultimate hair inspiration. I love how simple her routine is and how easy she makes it look, because I have found it to be a lot harder to find what works well for my hair. If I can get the moisturizing thing in control, I feel like we could be hair twins!! I have almost kicked the product junkiness.

THIS IS MY WIG PURCHASED FROM HAIRSISTERS.COM HAIR TIDY FOR WIG APPLICATION, I GUESS I LEFT TOO MUCH HAIR OUT After much frustration with the wig, I decided I had enough hair and did not need to hide it underneath a wig. I almost looked exactly like my real hair anyway. LACE FRONT I BOUGHT FOR MY BIG CHOP, THIS LASTED 2 WEEKS BEFORE I DECIDED I DIDN'T NEED THIS EITHER HOMEMADE WIG, THIS WAS MY FAVE ONE AND IT FIT PERFECTLY AND COST LIKE $10 AND LASTED A L
