Something a Little Different.

I love doing quick, little-cute like styles in my hair. I love the versatility that it carries. So I tried something new this past week and absolutely love it.

First I had to Deep Condition my hair because it was way over due. I also knew that I was going to the beach with my other half so I had to get moisture into my hair before hand. I usually deep condition with Dr. Miracle's packet or that ORS replenishing packet.

I deep condition under a cap with at least 45 minutes depending on what I feel like doing to my hair.


The Dr. Miracle packet has a tingling effect once left on and continues even after you wash it out. It makes the hair so soft that you can just run your fingers through without any tangles or curles getting stuck.

After washing out the deep conditioner, blot your hair dry. I put together a photo show my usual process for this type of style I am doing.


  1. Blot hair until water is not dripping.
  2. Apply leave in conditioner and some oil onto hair, rub it through, don't use to much or it will weigh hair down.
  3. Part the front section of hair to be under-braided (twisted or whatever you want to do)
  4. Apply some jam/gel to the edges, only a smudge amount.
  5. Begin to twist/braid hair 
  6. Do the other side of that part, the same exact way.
  7. Once complete, put hair into a banana clip wherever you decide to put the puff (I did mine in the middle top)
  8. Now all you have to do is pin the side braids/twists up underneath of the banana clip and hold them in place with bobby pins. 
Mission complete!

You can fluff as you like or pin into a bun with the clip intact. Play around with it until you find something that you like. 

Here are a few pictures of my hair after doing the above steps.

SUNDAY DINNER: HAITIAN RICE AND PEACE WITH SALMON

I had never tried Salmon. Never liked it. Well, that was because I never tried it. Hmm. Nonetheless, I finally gave in and had my first taste of this delicious dish about three months ago and fell in love with it. I do not know much about the fish but I do know that they are bred in fresh water, go to the ocean for a bit but return to the fresh waters to reproduce. Salmon is known as one of the worlds healthiest foods due to it's rich content of Omega-3 and protein. I will make another post about the benefits of Salmon but this post is about Sunday Dinner. Along with the Salmon that yes I will fry ( it will not kill me to have fried food every now and then.), I am also having Haitian style rice and peas. The classic dish in every Haitian home. The peas in the rice with the hint of mushrooms offer a delightful taste to your taste buds. This will be my first time actually trying this recipe but I know it will turn out better than expected. Salmon: Ingredients: Atlantic Bone...

COCONUT OIL TREATMENT

Dear December...Day 1 Keeping it simple. Coconut oil treatment to add moisture and shine to my hair. I want that strength, elasticity back in my strands. To view step by step on what exactly to do, follow my other pre-poo routine ( Pre-poo for softness ). For this round, I'm only using coconut oil, about a spoonful of olive oil, shea butter, and some cinnamon oil mixture. Planning on letting it set on my hair for about an hour. Rinse, shampoo, then condition. Most likely I will dry wrap my hair to put it up in a high bun for work tomorrow.

BAMBOO COCONUT WATER: SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

Browsing the hair care aisle in Target, I came across these two products. They stood out to me because they looked like something to drink, and at that moment in time, I was beyond hungry and thirsty, so a girl was looking at everything that looked edible. Well I grabbed up both bottles and read through the descriptions. What captured me at that point is that it said "Bamboo Coconut Water." Hmm...interesting. After buying the shampoo and conditioner for $5.99 each, I came home and looked the products up. This product line is from Renpure. They claim to offer "Hair Care Free From Parabens, Sulfates & Synthetic Colors." We're concerned about the chemicals that all of us are exposed to in shampoos and conditioners, so we've developed a new line of hair care products FREE from harmful chemicals. How could you lose with that? They have different products under them that I will try at a later date but the description of the Bamboo Coconut Water Shampoo ...
