Bantu-Knot Out…The Remix

I tried it again. The Bantu Knots.

Somehow missed the first go round—> Go Here. I’ll wait.

I took some of your advice and went about it a little differently

I actually washed my hair first. ~~Last time it was done on 3 week old dirt that was sprayed with water and product added~~
I blow dried the water off my hair first. My hair holds water so I just did it enough so that it was still damp
After blow drying it to a damp state I let it air dry for an hour

Looked like this:

Then, I added about 5 bantu knots to each side using a mixture of Beautiful Curls and Coconut oil, making sure to really seal the ends so they wouldn’t be frizzy

I forgot to take a photo of them while they were in but after playing with them, this was my final outcome.

I am pleased with the outcome. If I scarred you the first time, do you think you will try after all?!!

My niece did them for me:

Was the look on my face foreshadowing?!!

They look pretty right?

This is what I ended up with. NO WORDS

Summertime Natural Hair Struggle

I despise hair. Absolutely nothing about it sparks my interest and seeing that I have an astronomical amount of it is proof that God has a sense of humor.

I have no idea what type of hair I have on that little natural hair chart and I have no interest in figuring it out. I’ve watched videos and they bore me and the styles don’t work for my hair so I’m stuck with what to do with my hair during these hot, humid months ahead. I like my hair straight, but the humidity and pop up showers in the summer would make me a fool for spending an hour a week pressing it so I turned to pinterest for some inspiration on what to do with my hair.

These are two of the styles that I plan on adding to my usual twist out regimen. I’ll let you know how it turns out

Are you rocking a new do for the summer? Do share so I can steal.

Beauty• Nail Polish

NPA…Nail Polish Anonymous

Hi.

My name is Mimi.

*waits for you to say Hi, Mimi*

I’m addicted to nail polish. I don’t know when it happened or why but its out of control.

Whenever I go in the store, I try to look straight ahead and steer clear of the aisles that house these little bottles of internal joy but they “be” calling my name.

Mimi..Mimi….MiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiii. We know you hear us.

Then I go to them. I buy 1, 2 or even 3 bottles at a time.

I need help.

Here’s the proof:

My nail plates and stamper...that I don't know how to use

Awful. I know. Total count is 130 +/- 5 that are missing because little hands got into them. Sad part is now that I have most of the drug store brands my plan is to move on to building my Essie and OPI collections. There is a warehouse in Miami that sells them for $3-$4 a bottle. My friend Sheena is going to take me when I go down there in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait. It really shouldn’t be that serious…but it is. *hangs head in shame*

How many bottles of nail polish do you have?
