The dangers of the natural hair world are real! Find out how bunning my hair for just a little over two months caused my hair to lock! I was actually finding locks in my hair that were about .5 to 1 inch in width! I had about 4 of these around my hair and even more smaller ones dispersed throughout. Yes I DID have to add an additional trim to clean up the damage. Which was done yesterday 5.15.16 My ends were not split terribly...it looked like someone took a brush made of nails and brushed the ends of my hair. THAT is the best way that I can describe it! I noticed that the back of my hair experienced the most damage. Which is quite usual when I am having issues...the back is more susceptible to breakage.  I just hit my 3 years natural mark in April! You would think I would be a pro at this by now right! Wrong! I hope my experience can be an aid and stop sign to anyone with a similar struggle! -KamiTinae xo  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kamitinae/

The classic AFRO is a style that can never be out of style! Rather you choose to rock the traditional OR create an AFRO-PUFF you just cannot go wrong. Especially in August, your hair doesn't have a chance to revert because it was never manipulated! Wheeeee that def takes some of the worry of bad hair days in the sun down a notch.  However, I'm sure some people aren't comfortable wearing their FRO!! Butthere are  quite a few ways to jazz up and tame this look. Check this picture of my moms hair out and let me know what you think.  I have been wearing my hair that way for about two weeks now! Though her hair is finer than mines she was still able to achieve this look! It takes a small preparation but don't worry I will have a tutorial soon!

Hello My NATURALS AND TRANSITIONERS!!! I have been transitioning from my permed hair to natural hair for a year now! Most of my transition I didn't notice because it was not an active choice because I had NO idea I wanted to be natural! But I am so glad I made the decision and would never and will never go back!  I have cute my hair...bantu knotted it...twisted it...braided it...but NO flat ironing. I have not straightened my hair in at least 6 months. Quite frankly it is not difficult to refrain from heat styles. I love my hair and have learned how to manipulate it. Watch out for my video soon....It will be uploaded on ANNOINTMYHAIR36 very shortly. Check this post I will post it here. I have various textures...some spiral...some wavy...some zzz...oh goodness.lol

Hey ya'll: Well, I learned a new hairstyle within the last two days! I put myself on trial because omg I really need to learn how to do my hair. My ma can't save me all the time right.lol  But any who Yay go me....wheew was this one a doozie at first for me. But I really wanted a different look to the back of my hair and kept practicing til I got it. I would not have been as difficult but I am going NATURAL ya know. So that made things a little challenging. But you know what....now that I got it...I GOT IT ;). This is a great style for a nice sexy get up or when it's time to put that BUSINESS look together. Good Luck....! Well let me present....what I like to call my  WILMA .....Flintstone of course.lol

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)

Alright everyone I decided to do this video on my past 9 months of hair transitioning. I do NOT plan on doing a big chop.....I think. I want my natural hair to reach my shoulders in its shrinkage state before I cut it all off. I shall call it my safe and mini chop.lol However, I want to say that I have NEVER had issues with my relaxed hair. I have never experienced any damaged hair...or severe breakage.  I basically started this journey because I want my natural thick hair back. I want the beautiful twists and twist outs..braid outs...bantu knots...etc. My hair is super thick and until now I forgot what my real hair actually looks like.  However, I am excited to be entering my 10th month of transitioning soon and then a year! This video is a just a small trail of my journey! Anyone else journeying out there!?!?! =) Babyliss Pro Black Carrera Hair Dryer (Google Affiliate Ad)
