before & after

TaraDyan your photos are awesome. what kind of camera do you use?

Thanks, robot. I use a Canon Rebel T3i. It has a flip out LCD screen that allows me to see my shot. Very helpful for selfies.

By the way, I totally love your haircut. It's very stylish.

Air dried roller set on natural hair using a combination of Curlformers and magnetic rollers (no heat involved at all).

TyraDyan love it! Did you cut your hair?

 

[Maracujá]

This is a style I rocked around mid February of this year, it lasted a few days. I used the tutorial by MsVaughnTV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0vtFNrTXHc) that was extremely helpful.

Maracujá Loving your hair and all the styles you've shared. How did you stretch your hair for this style? Blow dry?

Hey there, BostonMaria! Yes, I did cut my hair. I relaxed my hair in March 2012 (on a whim ). I regretted it immediately and decided to transition for 18 months again (just like I did the first time I went natural). I did my second big chop in September of this year, so yeah I'm starting over.

ceecy29 Thank you Yes I blowdried my hair to achieve this particular hairstyle, I used a blowdryer tocktick recommended a few years ago. It's one by Philips but it has been discontinued, go figure.

I added a touch of color to the front of my hair. Red Hot Rhythm by Dark & Lovely

PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE.

I flat ironed dds hair for like the second time in her little 5 year old life lol. I can't believe how easy it was. I think I'm getting better at managing her hair since I went natural myself.

Sorry if it's too big or small. I sent it from my phone.

First curlformers set!



My ends came out a bit frizzy so any tips would be kindly appreciated. I need to go a size up as well as my hair was at the very end of the curlformer set I was using.

today's braidout first in a while after a series of WNGs. Hair is completely dry in this pic except my hair was still substantially wet when taking out the braids because I slept with a plastic bag on and then my satin cap, usually with just my cap the braids would be completely dry but I didn't want my pillows wet.

Did protein treatment with Aphogee 2-minute, inversion using Naturelle Grow growth oil, DC under hooded dryer using Naturelle Grow Marshmallow Root, Slippery Elm Bark and Cinnamon DC (first time using....major hit/staple), rinsed with ACV (still trying to learn this rinse don't know if it was the proper step in the process), moisturized/sealed/braided with Naturelle Grow Soft N Silky leave in (fave all time), Naturelle Grow moisturizer, and Hairitage Hydration Hemp Nostalgia. Hair feels divine, not greasy at all.

No way! Can't believe you ever relaxed those beautiful waves and curls! TaraDyan

Ogoma: Your hair came out nice. I really like Curlformers because they get my natural hair very straight. But my hair is prone to frizzing, so I keep the frizzies at bay by doing the following:

• I deep condition using steam
• I apply a small amount of coconut oil throughout
• I apply a small amount of a heavy leave in (like Mizani's Butter Rich Hairdressing Cream)
• I spray a small bit of setting lotion diluted with water. I use maybe 1 TB of setting lotion to approx. 2 cups of water in a spray bottle (for a light hold)

When I use this combo, my sets don't frizz up as much, and they last for a while.

No way! Can't believe you ever relaxed those beautiful waves and curls! TaraDyan

BostonMaria: I know girl. My friends and family all told me I was crazy. But I'm glad I did it because I got that out of my system. At least I know now that I will never relax my hair again.

And this time, I mean it.

You gonna make me pull out my flexi-8s. That one is purty!

TaraDyan How much longer before you are 100% natural again? I feel that way sometimes and my daughter's hair (our hair twin) is getting so tangle-y that I consider it at least once a month. I may have to try flexirods on her using your formula.

Hey wavezncurlz

I'm 100% natural right now. I did my second big chop 2 months ago (in September). This time around, I plan to keep my hair in stretched styles instead of doing so many wash-n-gos. Those WNGo's were the main source of my problems last time aroun (they wreaked havoc on my ends).

Congrats on your 2nd BC! TaraDyan
Oh yeah - I should have told you WnG's don't work well for our hair. Twist outs work best if I'm wearing my hair out. Otherwise, I'm in a bun, braid, or some other updo.

I wish I could pin my hair up, I can not do it for the life of me, it's always out there and exposed
