Fancy Flat Twists!

Heya, guys!
I am sorry that I didn't find time to do a tutorial on this hairstyle, but here it is.


I whipped this up on Symari's hair 3 days ago before we all made a trip to Chuck E Cheeses for their cousin's birthday party, It was pretty simple.
I didn't use any products because I had already moisturized her hair two days ago and the braids were still going, but during her bath, I wet her hair slightly, combed it out a bit, and did this style. The flat twists in the front are twisted forward instead of back, but the back ones go downward. That big metal barette really topped off the whole style and she got a lot of stares. ;)

Hope you guys enjoyed this style and blog post! Stay curly!

Sorry, Curlies!

October 24, 2015

Hey, guys! I've been neglecting this blog and I am sorry. I don't have much new hair info at the moment to post here. Life is changing and I don't have the time that I used to have.
However, I am still doing YouTube videos about natural hair care and I post quite often on my business Instagram account: +Curls of Innocence.

I have a part time job now. Woo hoo! So things are a little more busy. I'm no longer a stay at home mom. But it's good. It's making me strive for more. I haven't had  the funds to try new hair products or anything, which is why I have been focusing more on vlogging lately instead.
But stay tuned; I'm not quitting. I'm not going anywhere! ;)

GREEN Natural Hair! SPLAT Color REVIEW


September 10, 2015
Hiya, curly mamas!
For those inquiring about my green hair. it was a complete 'happy accident'. I originally wanted to try blue, so I bought this Splat semi-permanent hair dye from Walgreens in the middle of looking for my regular blonde color. I didn't find my shade and brand, so I saw this and grabbed it. I had been wanting to try a new color for a while, anyway. So I said, why not?

Color name: Aqua Rush
Price: between 10 & 14 bucks



This video is when I picked up the dye. Remember when I said that I had a surprise for you guys? Hehe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZjCq_3rlLU 


 

This video is the whole process of what I did when I dyed it! :)






So, I had kind of already expected my hair to turn 'greenish'. It turned green because the blonde color in my hair was more of a golden color instead of blonde. It wasn't platinum blonde or anything. I had a feeling that it would turn out something other than the blue on the box, so I was already expecting that. But I didn't expect to love it as much as I did! It's a pretty green, though, grass green. I didn't mind as long as it wasn't 'dung green'. LOL!






If I had a blow dryer, I would have dyed my hair with the dye that was provided in the Splat box (which I was unaware of until after I'd opened it), dried my hair, then did the color right afterwards. But I didn't have the time that day to wait a whole day for my hair to dry after bleaching over my golden hair. I had to do the whole process when my hubby was home to help me and/or keep the kids completely out of my way while doing this. But oh well. It worked out anyway. Maybe I will do something different next time.
So, I loooooove my current look! I've gotten a lot of positive feedback about it and I'm pleased. I don't know if I will re- dye it this color when it fades (as it's already starting to do), but I will enjoy it while it lasts. It's about time I start experimenting with some 'off' colors. It's a way of self-expression that I wish I had a chance to do as a teenager. But oh well, it's all good. Being grown means that you can  pretty much express yourself however you like. Also, I am starting to make my own money now to try new things, so woo hoo! :-D #happymommy





This color is great. Like I mentioned, it's starting to fade. But that's to be expected. It isn't permanent and it has been over 3 weeks now.
