FLAT TWIST OUT PIC-TORIAL - PERFECTION





I love, love, love my hair. Thing is, we also have one of those "love-hate" relationships. Fortunately, I found a "go-to" style during those "I hate you" periods.

Flat twists can be done in various ways, either two stranded or just rolled. I prefer the two-stranded twist. Follow this tutorial to achieve the same look
 Start with freshly washed hair. Clean hair makes it shine when you apply products to it later.
  1. Let it air dry to about 85 - 90%. If hair is too damp, it takes soooo long to dry. Trust me, I did it many times and always failed at the twist out.
  2.  Separate the back half from the front half. 
  3. Starting with the front, begin parting nice slices of hair. Make sure it is not too thin and not too thick. 
  4. I used curls unleashed curling jelly (purple jar). Apply a thin layer to the piece you are about to twist. make sure to distribute through that section.
  5. Begin twisting with two strands downwards towards your face.
  6. At the end of this twist, put it into a bantu knot or you can use rollers. If your hair naturally curls at the end, you can also apply more gel and let the hair hang down.
  7. Go on to part the next section in the front, repeating the steps from #3 -6.
  8. After the front section is complete, begin the back.
  9. Have the twists in the back going in the direction down towards your back. Repeat steps until hair is completely twisted.

  10. Wait for  it to completely dry. Time varies depending on how thick you made the parts, how much product you put in, and how wet you begin when you twisted.
When you are about to untwist, use a little bit of olive oil to unravel. unravel in the opposite direction you twisted hair. Initially my hair came out like the following pics



I just decided to pin hair up and the curls begin to fall throughout the day. I hope you enjoyed my pic tutorial. 








For video directions, watch this video, i used the same format

COMEDIAN, EDDIE MURPHY HAS NINE CHILDREN

One of my favorite comedians is Eddie Murphy, but did you know that Eddie Murphy is more than just a comedian, he's a father of nine. Did you hear that, NINE children with five different women, five of nine children are with ex-wife, the super-beautiful, Nicole Mitchell-Murphy. Eddie makes beautiful offspring nonetheless. Eddie has three sons: Eric Murphy, Christian Murphy, and Myles Murphy. And six daughters: Bria Murphy, Shayne Murphy, Zola Murphy, Bella Murphy, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, and Izzy Murphy. Paulette Murphy Eric Murphy Eric Murphy is the son with Paulette McNeely. There aren't any pictures of Paulette or none taken with Eddie so that is a mystery in itself BUT I happen to stumble upon her picture and her work place from a source close to Eddie. Paulette works as a Medical Aesthetician & Body Contouring Expert. ________________________________ Christian Murphy is the son with Tamara Hood. It was said that Tamara Hood was to be cast in VH1's ...

HAIR OF THE DAY: BROOKE BAILEY

For those of you wondering if this is all of Brooke Bailey's hair.....I can let all of the inquiring minds know that YES, this is indeed her real hair, and not only is this her real hair, she is also natural.  She was asked on twitter if she perms or presses her hair out with a hot comb. She had responded by saying @brookebaileyinc LOL ...  I don't perm or press my hair. In this pic I washed it and let it air dry.  It seems as if she always had beautiful hair. Her hair is absolutely gorgeous and looks very healthy. Her natural haircare line (in which she uses for her hair) will be launched shortly. I guess I may have to give it a try. Considering how shiny her hair looks, it can't be that bad. (Click to enlarge images)

TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY: FLY TATTED SKY

Do you watch Black Ink NY? If so, did you notice how Sky's confidence level went to over "a hunnit" after she got the plastic surgery she has been dyin gto get. I mean she always had an outgoing personality, but now "it's all the way up." Congrats to Sky and that new body. What I love is that she didn't go too overboard like most people with injections/implants. Before : After:
