I thought I would come talk to you all about sealing! The purpose of sealing is to lock in moisture in the hair strand. This is vital for hair growth and strength!!! Seal those ends! For me, this is the whole hair shaft not including my scalp. I’ve been using my little secret weapon known as Karen’s Body Beautiful Butter Love for some time to seal in the moisture. This product doesn’t appear to cause build up and is very light. It’s got great butters in it. I would go on to say that it has assisted in my length … Continue reading Best Sealer! – Karen’s Body Beautiful Butter Love

Well here are the results of using Curl Junkie Hibiscus & Banana Honey Butta on wet hair. Twists were taken down after 2 days. I grabbed a dab of Karen’s Body Beautiful Butter Love and rubbed it over my hands prior to taking down the twists so as not to disturb them. This CJHBHB leave in appears to provide a defined shiny fluffy twistout when used on wet hair. I have lots of body as well. I have to say I like my results. I did notice when separating some curls that this causes some minimal frizz so beware. My … Continue reading Day 1 of Twist Out – Curl Junkie Hibiscus & Banana Honey Butta Leave In
So about a week and a half ago on wash day>>>I washed my hair with Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo and then used the lines conditioner. I began to twist about 12 twists on damp hair. I used Kinky Curly Knot Today as my leave in on each section. I didn’t seal with my jojoba or rather forgot too. I then layered with the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie. I left my big twists in for about a week and just pinned them up>>I then felt like re-moisturizing although I didn’t really need to and began to take down … Continue reading Review – Shea Moisture Curl & Style Milk Twist Out

My routine last night: *As I am coconut cowash conditioner *MyHoneyChild honey hair mask *Karen’s body beautiful sweet ambrosia leave in conditioner *Beija Flor Naturals Creme Brulee (first time using) I did medium twists all over. Took about 2 hrs last night from washing to twisting. I’m trying to stick with heavier moisturizers layered over leave ins due to this ever changing Michigan weather and fall is upon us. Prior to untwisting I used a dab of the QBOHB and rubbed all over my twists for shine. I then grabbed a dab of my KBB Butter Love and rubbed my … Continue reading Twistout Prep with KBB Sweet Ambrosia and Beija Flor Naturals Creme Brulee
At night all I did was retwist like 10-12 big twists without applying any product and went to bed. The next morning I rubbed a dab of my KBB Butter Love between my hands and unraveled the twists, fluffed and was out the door! My hair is slightly longer looking and it will be after each day of twist out maintenance. Continue reading Twist Out Maintenance & Day 2
Check my last post to see my regimen for this style. I untwisted this morning. My hair retained a lot of moisture with the KCKT and MYHC T4C combo. I’ve been tending to my twists nightly by spraying with Oyin Handmade Juices and Berries and using a dab of Qhemet Biologics Olive & Honey Balm to layer over after. I grabbed my Karen’s Body Beautiful Butter Love and grabbed a dab to rub between my hands for the twist take down. I love how my hair turned out!!!! It survived a 2 mile walk at lunch too!!! I’ll probably twist … Continue reading Twist Out with MyHoneyChild Type 4 Creme
So I did a midweek retwist last night for a twistout. I actually attempted a twist out originally the night before after cowashing with SheScentIts Honey Rinse Conditioner. The SSI conditioner was great!!! I used the Kerscare Natural Textures Leave in and Twist & Defjne Cream>>>my hair did not fully dry by the morning so I had to leave with wet hair that retained its shape until after my 2 mile walk outside during my lunch break. After that walk>>>it was frizz city for my hair as I live in Michigan. My hair was also feeling crunchy (maybe because of … Continue reading Dry Twist Out with Karen’s Body Beautiful Sweet Ambrosia & Butter Love
So I took down my twists done with the MyHoneyChild Twist Out Creme layered under the Type 4 Hsir Creme. I did the twists like 3 days ago>>>I only took them down because they were getting fuzzy from me constantly touching them. I did lightly spray my twisys with my Oyin Juices and Berries for the last couple of nights. I dabbed my fingertips in my Karen’s Body Beautiful Butter Love and then took down my twists. I like this because it gives my twist outs a nice sheen not a greasy shine. See pic below. I think it turned … Continue reading MyHoneyChild Twist Out Creme Twist Take Down
