Happy June everyone, summer is officially here and I have made some hair changes. First change, my color. Y'all know I loved being a red head but I decided to go back to black. The red was beautiful but beginning to become a little high maintenance. My hair as professionally colored by the same Aveda salon, I really like how clean and shiny my hair looks now that it's darker. Colors are fun but dark hair I think is so sexy!
Next, I am on month three of hairfinity and I LOVE the vitamin line so much so that I have signed up to get them monthly in the mail. I keep my hair cornrowed 95% of the time. I found a new braider and she keeps my hair looking amazing. She is SO talented! Look, she even adds designs like hearts and stuff!
My hair has grown so much since my cut 2 months ago. Keeping it protected and taking the vitamins has helped tremendously with retaining length.
I always keep my bang area out when I have my PS in, mainly because I just think it adds flare to the style. The lovely folks over at Shea Radiance sent me a bunch a new products to try and I wanted to test out one of them as a styling aide. (A full review on Shea Radiance's line and a giveaway will be posted next week!)
What I used:
SR's Maximum Curl Defining Cream
CD's Blow Dry Cream
14 perm rods
What I did:
Sectioned my hair (bang area) in 3 parts
*My hair was blown out/stretched. You can choose to style wet if you'd like.*
Flat twisted the right side to the right and the left side to the left
*I used the Shea Radiance Curl Defining Cream which seems to work best on my dry hair as a styler versus wet hair as a definer.*
The middle section was put in 6 medium sized twists
I used between 12- 12 perm rods on the ends to give the twist out more texture

The heart designs she did are HOT!
That is one of the flyest styles I have ever seen. Tempted to grow back out my sides!
Beautiful.
What happened to the red hair? Cute nonetheless.
Awww man! I loved your red/violet color so much that I went to Aveda to color mine the same color and was unable to :(. I dyed my hair jet black last August and it didn't grow out so i'm stuck with it for a while :'(
I love your braid though, the heart is too cute : )
@Vetty read the post for that answer, please.
Where do you go to get your hair braided? Is it a shop or just an individual? Do you mind sharing her info?
I love it! I wish braids lasted in my hair for more than 2 or 3 days because I would totally do braided styles.
Yes, I am also in the DMV and would love to get the person's info who braids your hair. Please share!!!
Could you share your braiders info with us... she is an "artist". When I first saw the picture I thought it was the work of a barber. Your hair looks FABULOUS!!!!
You are totally rocking this.. Neat twist on a protective style.. Everyone's sharing this photo on fb :)
Sooo....inquiring minds would love to know who braided your hair. It looks absolutely amazing! I'm sure she would love the extra businss as well. Would you mind sharing her info please?! Thanks! :)
