Me and my hair: Puffy Twists

I had my hair in puffy twists for about 2 months and when I started to officially miss my fro, I took those bad boys out. But, I wanted to share my puffy twist experience with you. First, let me say that I absolutely friggin love those twists. They were easy to install (only took me 6 hours) and the styles that I could do were endless.

Here's the lowdown on installation:
Hair- 2 Packs of puffy naffy hair in 1b (I redid them in November and used a pack of 1b and a pack of 30). $10 per pack from local beauty supply store.
This pic is off the Internet. At time of post I had already thrown my package away.
 I washed and condition hair with Carol's Daughter Tui Healthy Hair Set.
I got this set off of HSN as a special kit.
Then I blow dried the hair using Hair Rules Blow Out Your Kinks
I bought mine from Ulta, but when I went to their site I couldn't find it.
I used Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie during the install and sprayed the scalp with jojoba oil afterwards.

Here are some of the styles I wore:

Puffy twists will definitely be in my life again because I be doing the most: "Boop boop" (in my NeNe voice).
Have you ever worn puffy twists? Did you love 'em like I did?

As always,
Wishing you Love, Peace and Soul Deep Beauty.

New Year, New You!


I hope the new year has been good to you so far and brings you hope as you look forward to new beginnings. I am officially back to my daily grind and am excited about the things to come. I have so many ideas and things planned for this year and it's time to execute.

One of those things is a 30 Day Make-up Challenge. Let's keep it real, it's going to take me more than 30 days to complete this. It would probably be more accurate if I call it a 30 Week Make-up Challenge since I try to write a post at least every week. But, in any case, in addition to the other posts I write I want to challenge myself as an artist. I saw a great challenge on The Makeup Nerd's blog and I'm going to give it a try.
