Up-do

I bought this wonderful new clip at the beauty supply store. They came in a pack of 3 and were about a dollar or two. They start out round, however they do not retain their shape so after using it a couple of times it became really stretched out. I love it cause I can tighten it or loosen it to have a smaller or larger puff. It is flexible and glides through my hair.

Neat hair accessory.

It does not retain its shape.

I used a piece of ribbon for my updo decor.

This is new from Shea Moisture, it is similar to Kinky Curly below, however it is a bit cheaper and you get more.

Shea moisture left, kinky curly right; as you can see the consistency is similar, both are 100% natural.

I used this gel on the back and sides.

Upzing and Natural Hair-do

I got a new hair product from Wal-Mart. It is called an Upzing. It works wonderfully. Look below. I washed my hair and moisturized it and I made a section of bangs and put some hair "down" in the back and placed the upzing in the middle. Love it. I went back and bought a second one.

3 Strand Twist Out

I did a 3 strand twist out on my hair. I don't like it. I don't think I will be doing anymore at this time.

Cowashing

I've been cowashing my hair for the past week. I still wash my hair with natural shampoo once a week and condition, however now I cowash my hair daily with Suave Naturals.The wild cherry blossom is decent. What I mean is there are NO cones, ates, parabens, DMDM Hydantoin or probylene glycol. I got this idea from Youtuber Cynthiarf Series: AfroCare 101 pt. 1, 2 and 3. Youtube Video

It's getting longer

Rod Set on Natural Hair

I tried setting my hair on rod rollers.The end result was little rolls. The next day however it looked like coils. I will not rod my hair or roll it in manner again until it is much longer.
