My hair routine with a twist

On the weekend, I washed my hair and did a protective hairstyle. The hairstyle is quite simple. On freshly twisted hair, I took about 5 or so strands of locs and twisted them. To see the products I used, way I twisted my hair and this protective hairstyle, please check the video below.

Here are a few pictures from the hairstyle.

Hope this was of great help. Thank you for reading.

It's a wrap

I like head wraps because they are classy and timeless and since the weather is so cold and dry I am liking them even more. I always try to find creative and stylish ways to wear such accessories. Today, I have decided to wear a cotton scarf to accentuate my outfit.

It took less than 2 minutes to create this chic look. This trend will be popular for the spring. I can't wait to mix and match my prints developing timeless looks.
Please checkout the how to video at the bottom of this post or you can check my youTube channel pecadora99.

These are some stylish ways people wore their head wraps. How do you wear your head wrap and turbans? Remember, you can put your personality into it and create a cutesy masterpiece.

I completed the look by wearing a yellow sweater, teal tights, yellow and brown scarf, zipper belt to which I added a flower, and a pair of smiley face earrings.

Help!!!! My hair Oh so dry!!!!!!

 As I said in my post yesterday, winter is my least favorite season. I try to think of good points about winter and the only things that come to mind is the long holidays, Christmas and spending time with my family. Winter is just a long season that is very cold and dry.

Black hair that’s already dry enough to begin with can take a serious beating during the winter. It’s important to treat our hair like the delicate flower that it is. Here’s three quick ways to do just that…

1. Beware of wool and other moisture-snatching fabrics. All the things that keep us warm like wool coats and heavy scarves can rub against our hair and cause it to break. The fix? You can protect the hair with a silk or satin scarf that lines the inside of a wool hat or acts as a barrier when used as a layering piece with your wool coat or scarf. It’s also important to use a silk or satin scarf and/or pillowcase to protect your hair at night.
2. Limit your usage of heat. We know excessive heat can wreck havoc on our tresses so continue to limit or even avoid using it especially during the colder months. For natural hair and locks, is best to try “setting” the hair in braids or twists.
3. Moisture and seal. Moisture is important to our hair year-round but it’s essentially important during the winter. Alternate between a deep conditioning treatment like one from your kitchen (see my post on Deep conditioner love:Hair treatment from the Kitchen on December 17th ) or Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask . How often you alternate will depend on the condition of your hair (if it feels hard and brittle when wet, deep condition; if it feels gummy when wet, protein). Every six weeks or so try a deeper protein treatment like a  homemade mix.
In addition to your conditioners, it’s imperative to use a good daily moisturizer and then seal with a natural oil (unrefined coconut oil and Castor is my fave). To do simply divide the hair into workable sections and work in your moisturizer paying special attention to the ends. Then take a pea sized amount or how much ever of your oil that you need and work it into the hair. Careful not to use too much oil to avoid overly oily strands.
Below are few products that you may also use to help restore or maintain moisture during the cold months.

Winter Protective hairstyle

Winter is my least favorite season for many reasons. Recently, I have to be protecting my skin and hair from getting too dry. Today, I created this hair style to protect my hair from the harsh weather. With this hairstyle, I can wear my berets and add other hair accessories to make my hair look fabulous.

The air is very dry and tend to suck the moisture from my hair as well. To keep the moisture in, I braided my hair to the back and made a bang at the front to add a little spark.
What do you do to protect your hair in the winter?

I also added a headband that I made from old tees and felt. Don't worry divas, soon I will be having a tutorial on how to make these gorgeous hair accessories.

I completed my hairstyle by wearing a tube made from an old tee, Harlem pants and a pair of yellow disc earring.
