This week’s feature is a “newbie” to the natural journey, although her decision to return to her roots took shape a year ago. Sunita, or Bulletz, as we lovingly refer to her in the Blogosphere, is a proud tribal member of the Nanticoke Lenni Lenape People. Sunita is also transitioning from a Wave Nouveau [...]

Since I said I would, and there aint much to do on this 94* day, I decided to retwist my hair after a good night’s rest (the twist were properly secured under a satin wrap, of course), because even with twisting each individual subsection, I would up with untwisted bases:
Some of the strands had even [...]

It was a dark and stormy night!
Actually, it was a hot and humid Friday, and since I was involved in an In the Mix hair-priment, I figured the day was as good as any to try my hand at two strand twists for the second time.
As with anything, the more you practice, the easier it [...]

So yesterday I had a job interview, or more accurately, I was invited to a preliminary information sharing session for a possibly position with a company that… well… let’s just say a company I won’t be working for (full story can be found HERE). At any rate, I was very concerned about just how [...]

The natural hair definitely suffers!
I washed and conditioned my hair last Wednesday, but with a road trip to Maryland over the weekend, and mounds of stress once I returned home, I have failed to maintain proper hair care techniques. A resented, yet necessary, walk in the rain further complicated things, so now my tresses [...]

I know they’re out there, hidden within the pages of some magazine, or in the stylist chairs of the local salon. I’ve cruised through multiple site dedicated to styles you can do from home, from two strand and flat twists,twist outs, and fros, to braids, weaves, wigs, and wraps. But since I never [...]

Okay, ordinarily, from what I read, a twist out is done after the hair has had a chance to “set” for a couple of days. But since my satin wrap was not available for sleep last night (dern dirty clothes), a couple of the twist started to unravel. And this inspired the great twist [...]

Okay, so now that I have some substantial length I have been trying to find alternative styles to wrapping and fro’ing. MiamiShyner, a fellow naptural from my Vox fam, recommended two strand twists, so after reading up on the process and products needed, I figured I’d try my hand at them today.
