Variation of my Normal Twist Out

Got lots of compliments on the Hair of the Day today (2/7/11).
This look was achieved by spritzing my hair with my spray bottle mix of cold water, 2 drops of HEHH conditioner, olive oil, and a few drops of Rosemary Essential Oil.
I then combed my hair starting from the ends with my conair denman like brush.
I added a little Olive Oil Eco Styler Gel to the hair, then two strand twisted and went to bed. The next morning, I re-spritzed with my water mix, and sealed my ends with safflower oil before twisting in the opposite direction to unravel and voila! This is how it came out!
I then added my black satin bow headband with white polka dots to complete my look.
No fluffing. No seperating.
I was in love with how it looked! I’m going to start doing this more often. It will also be easier to retwist at night as well as elongate the amount of days before a cowash.

Eureka Moment =}

2011 Healthy Hair Challenge

Hello all! Happy New Year :-)
The Moptop Maven has a Healthy Hair Challenge for 2011 that I'm participating in. Today I dry detangled with a conditioner mix she recommends: water in your spray bottle and 2-3 squirts of conditioner. I used my Herbal Essences Hello Hydration (HEHH) for my mix and dry detangled. I pre-pood with a mixture of safflower oil, coconut oil, and olive oil. I'm about to wash the mixture out in sections as she suggests. I am following the regimen for wearing your hair loose during the challenge, at least for now because of the length of my hair. I am about to go through with the rest of the my regimen, and I will post the pictures I have taken throughout the process in another post. My current length is a small afro, un-stretched, and my hair goal for the first part of the challenge (Jan-June) is chin length.
Are you prepared for the challenge?
Ciao for now!
xoxo
