I know it seems like we can only wear the fro...curly fro...headbands...twists...braids!  Ugh the simplicity of the patterns we see here right!!!! Do NOT limit yourself to the same thing if you want to change it up. I had two styles when my hair was permed.....down...and a ponytail. It can't get any more mundane than that right? However, I just recently...within this past year really learned to understand and work with my natural hair. When I get tired of waking up and looking at the SAME person in the mirror...I change it up.  I mean heck, maybe I don't want to be ME today. Well...maybe me but perhaps a spunky version. Ever feel that way??? Ever since I started this journey I find myself always changing my hair. It's quite often that I will style my hair today...in a protective style only to do something totally different the next day. *The pictures shown...is an example of that ;)* So I just wanted to share with you a few styles that I actually just came up with t...

Hey everyone: Seems like it has been a tough MINUTE since I mentioned my new job. However, I will be leaving for training this Sunday May 19, 2013. Omg I am all packed and ready for this awesome new adventure in my life. I will be gone for a whole month....and then some because I have to get situated with my new living arrangements. However, I have posted one last video before my return! I needed a protective style for training. I do NOT have time for any Bad Hair days. So.....I opted to try something new! Flat Twist Video People =) BUT....for now I'm being flown to HAWT Arizona to bask in the sun. Well, not really I do actually have some things to learn. lol However, before I leave I plan on posting two videos that I haven't posted yet about my transitioning days. Wow it is so funny saying that because they actually just ended. lol But I will attempt to keep updates on here and my youtube as much as possible! Until then....wish me luck...and let's grow people.

Happy Birthday ME! ;) YES....not only is it my 1st year transitioning anniversary BUT...it is MY 23rd Birthday everyone! Well...I posted my transitioning video yesterday and today I am posting my BDAY Ponytail hair tutorial. I talked about some new things I enjoy doing with my hair and why! However, I wanted to enjoy my birthday without my hair stuck to the side of my face or blowing every way but in the RIGHT direction =p. SOOOOOOOO..I opted for a sleek..cute...ponytail instead yay!lol Well I hope you enjoy it and I guess I'm a take my behind in here and workout. Plus I'm off to Vegas tonight....catch ya'll later. Watch me grow ;) -Kamitinae  Here's the link...I'm having issues embedding the video at the moment!    http://youtu.be/nO3faXZnZaI

Not too long ago I cut about 3-4 inches of my hair off. I was a little afraid of how to handle my hair at first after the chop. However, omg I did bantu knots on my hair immediately and BOOM I was like heeeeeeeeeeey.lol I was really feeling my curly afro. I love my hair and I am so happy with my transition thus far. You should be able to see how my hair turned out in this video. And the explanation of why my hair is gold on the top ;p. But um comments...questions...concerns? Hit me up! And omg I have been using grapeseed oil in my hair as of lately along with my family....and guess what my hair is soooo SOFT LOVE IT! Bought a HUGE Bottle too. lol Olive & Grape Seed Extra Moisturizing Shampoo - 11 fl oz (Google Affiliate Ad) -Kamitinae

OMG....Valentines Day is just a few days away! My family page  http://www.youtube.com/user/4GradesNatural   has been doing Valentines Day hairstyles for natural, transitioning, etc, hair all week! However, I just uploaded a Vday hair special behind the scenes from the up-do my mother gave me.    I love big, wild, edgy hair so she gave me something a little different. I like to call it my bohemian up-do ; ) However, as you all know I just cut 3- inches of hair off so I was not sure how COOL of a hairstyle I could actually get. lol Omg why would I think my mom would have issues with my new hair. Cause you know what she ROCKED IT! And guess what I can wear this for a few days later! Omg what would we do without protective styling! Braids, twists, two strand twists, and bantu knots were all used to achieve this look. But don't worry it sounds more complicated than it actually is. haha But anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful Valentines with your loved ones! -xoxo...

Hey everyone: Let me be honest...I like to change hairstyles a lot. Soooooooooooo the protective style I recently had in for a little over a week did not last long. Although I do plan on wearing them again and quite frequently. However, as I mentioned before....my hair in the front was quite a few inches longer than the back of my hair. Which leads me to this POST! I had my mother even all of my hair up to match the back. Had this been a few years ago I probably would have freaked. But....I feel hmmmm LIBERATED....I cannot wait until all of my hair is natural. This kind of eased the itching feeling I had to just cut everything off in desperation.lo l Westcott 8" Straight Pink Ribbon Scissors with Microban Antimicrobial (Google Affiliate Ad)

I've been transitioning for about 9 months as most of you know. I am determined to have my natural hair to my neck or shoulders by the end of this year. So....I wanted wear two-strand twists for the next few months because I would like to retain as much length as possible. OMG I hope I can do this I love changing my hair. So I will post any new styles I do to change things up! I also wash my hair a bit more than I'd like (explained in the video) but we'll see how it goes.  Started 1-25-13 Scunci 30 pk No metal Hair Ties (Google Affiliate Ad)
