The Natural Hair Journey

Working Your Style with Long Locks

Could you imagine.  I have manipulated her long locks to create this style.

She is wearing a Mohawk style with a sweep in the front, giving her a  very elegant look.

This style is best achieved while the hair is wet.  The best thing is that, once she drops her hair down, her hair will have curls and, she can wear the new look for a few more days.

This is another example of the 3 in 1 styling method. From one style, you can achieve 3 looks if you chose to.

Would you wear this style?

Spring 2011 is offically here! What next? Color, color, color your hair.

This Spring, spring on a new color in your hair. Feel good about yourself!

Eat well and work out.

If you decide to color your hair, use professional color because it has less ammonia than the boxed colors. Try henna if you want to go all natural.

The beauty about color is that, you can always change it back to your original color, thats what we did here.

Deep condition your hair to hydrate your cuticles.

Renew yourself with color, and have fun!

Colors that are hot this season: Lighter browns, streaks of blond or golden brown, and red browns are in.

What will you do?

Making Subtle Changes with Hair Color

Here is one of my clients who wanted a change from her winter look to something subtle for Spring.

I recommend we move her natural black hair to a lighter shade of brown, with a few highlights. So as the summer sun changes her color naturally, the new color would compliment the season.

She had never colored her hair before, but she was so happy with the results. It has moved her from a serious look to a more playful look.

She says her friends and family love it as well. She finds herself, more open to wearing colorful clothing. Her hair color has helped her, get the change she was looking for, and she is pleased with her decision.

What do you think?

Can Sisterlocks be Colored and Retighted all in the same Day?

The answer to that question, is YES!

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                            However, there are a few things that must be put into consideration:

• The Sister locks must be mature or at least well settled, so they will not slip out
• Avoid bleaching Sister locks because they get weak and begin to shed or break
• Color first then re tighten after washing the color off
• Always condition the Sister locks after coloring to avoid dryness

Make sure your stylist is licensed, and has the knowledge of color, and it's  after care. This protects you from a lot of unnecessary hassles, and from irreversible damage to your hair.

Remember to always follow up with a deep conditioner, which restores moisture to your cuticles, and avoids extreme dryness to the hair.

2 Strand Twists Plucked Out with Color

 

Jazz up your look with a dash of color.

Here we have a two-strand twist, flat in the front and plucked out (undone and gently fluffed with the fingers, in the back to achieve this look.

It's recommended to always try and wear your 2 strands plucked out before the next wash, because it adds such a nice flare to the hair.

What do you think about this look?

Sisterlocks and Color

 

When coloring natural hair, always use natural or professional hair color products.
Conditioner is vital when trying to moisturize natural hair, especially after color.
Color should only be applied once the locks are mature, to avoid  unraveling of the hair.

Always wash and rinse the hair well so that the color does not get trapped inside the locks. Otherwise will lead to dry and damaged locks.  Try different  colors when  the season
changes. Always gives a good boost of energy to start the season.
