Watch Me Wash N GO

Image
I have Very recently moved back to California. However, I still travel back and forth to Phoenix for work. (Flight Attendant Life) I recently had a Bad hair day last week (PSORIASIS) and had to fix myself up with a quick wash n go before returning to work!  I absolutely adore this quick and easy method...and shoot for something QUICK it sure is extra..super..cute. (You just can't go wrong) Every phase of my hair journey I tend to lean towards one specific way of doing my hair. This just happens to be my current phase.lol These are working wonders for me with my lifestyle!  Hair bag MUST HAVES: Oil: Preferably Shea Butter Spray Bottle: For Water Gel: Eco Styler Gel for that undeniable HOLD baby! Products: Shea Butter and Eco Styler Gel Check out THE process =) Kamitinae

Meet My Big Sister+Her Protective Styles

Image
Hey guys! If you didn't know....in 2013 of last year 3 of 4 women in my family did the big chop! My sis...Karmen above...did not. She has NEVER used chemicals to change her natural hair pattern. However....she did transition from heat damage.I'm sure you notice that her hair is completely different than mines! We all actually have very different hair patterns. Her hair is wavy/curly and fine. Here she chats about her favorite protective style! More to come on Karm! She just started a youtube: Karmens Kurls Also check her out at on Instagram @mrskarramos -Kamitinae XOXO Good ol braid-out!

Loose Twists + Staple Products

Image
Hey guys! I just put in LOOSE TWISTS for the first time. Do they look any different than my previous twist videos? I for one like the length and fullness it gives me when I wear them out. Has anyone else out there tried these out? You can check everything I have to say about the style right here: http://youtu.be/bwzaqZLeMzo   

Purple Twistout

Image
In this video I recorded my baby sister's twist out. I taped the installation and the take down for you all. Our hair textures are a tad different. The biggest visible difference being that her hair has way more shrinkage than mines! Check out my little sister's Purple Twist-Out. I was having issues with the editing software...so just fast forward if you need too.lol Watch Me Grow- ;0 Kamitinae

7MonthUpdate FRO WERK

Image
FRO WERK. I just released my 7month natural hair video update. My hair was blown out for the length check I show you guys! Don't worry....the blowout comb was set on COOL.lol It's been almost 2 years since any appliance has touch my hair. I truly believe it has aided in my hair growth! But...I am more than happy with my hair journey and its process. I would love to help anyone out their transitioning or perhaps just another natural on the same journey as me!

FRO-OUT

Image
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!

What's YOUR Look?

Image
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...

Training...Week 3

Image
 I'm baaaaack....well not really. But I am finding a small amount of time to post to you all!  Well...I am entering week 3 of training! Yay me! Hell week is just about over and I am in it for the long haul :) Three more exams this week and one the following!  I know you're probably wondering why someone training to be a flight attendant is taking exams? Shoot me too 😋. Just kidding...but seriously what could they possibly be on. The only thing I have ever seen an FA do is serve beverages, perhaps give out a few snacks and check carry ons.  I honestly thought I would be learning to serve pecans...peanuts...cracker jacks..blow pops...and maybe a whistle for the kids. I am here to tell you that I have not SERVED one cracker jack this whole time 😩.  I know right I was thinking the same thing. Lol A flight attendant is not a glorified waitress. We are safety specialists, trained to effectively handle medical and aircraft emergencies. But Guess who put out a fire ye...

Flat Twist Style...Training!

Image
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.

I BIG CHOPPED..Transitioning Days are Over

Image
Transitioning Days are OVER YES...I....KAMITINAE....Big Chopped yesterday...April 30, 2013...and am officially joining the NATURAL TEAM.  http://youtu.be/ugEexSYZlF0       <------ HERE'S THE LINK I WILL POST THE VIDEO LATER WHY ? Well...I was only supposed to get a trim BUT....my hair in the front was way longer than the back.  So much so that when I wore buns....the only hair included was from the front half of my hair..  :0.....I know RIGHT. My mother just chopped a week ago...I was muy JEALOUS. I was excited to see my real texture of hair. I was tired of dealing with my two textures of hair. I LOVED my mother's new natural hairstyle. Lastly....WHAT THE HECK...WHY NOT! Nothing else cool was going on in my life. HOW ? My mother sectioned my hair and applied conditioner. She clipped all of the straight ends not matching my natural texture. After I washed my hair I noticed that a trim was not ENOUGH. Believe me everyone it was ...

4Gradesnatural Photo Shoot!

Image
OMG ya'll my family aka 4Gradesnatural just did a photo shoot the other day! We had so much fun getting dressed together and doing our hair! My little sister Ky straightened her hair for the first time in a year. However, she had it professionally done...cut..etc. Will definitely post a video on that process! However, the rest of us had our hair pulled back off of our faces! But the best thing about this is it's NATURAL. We also did not have these photo's touched up! This is who we are! We are greatly defined by our natural selves and are in LOVE with it. Here are a few photos from our shoot! Check our facebook page out to see videos and updates from 4gradesnatural! (We all have different textures of hair) Follow our page..check us out..and WATCH US GROW! http://www.facebook.com/4gradesnaturall

Length Check 6 inches 1 year

Image
My mom just cut the rest of her perm off today!!! Yay! So happy for her BUT it makes me soooo ready to do mines. Her hair is way more curlier than I expected....it's so beautiful! I will post her video soon. (4gradesnatural) However, I put bantu knots in my hair tonight and accidentally left a piece out. Sooooo you already know what I did....yes I cut it!!! I wanted to see how long my hair has grown in a year....my natural hair. To my surprise it grew a little over 6 inches for the year yay! Thats a half inch every month which is a normal growth rate. My hair looks super short until you stretch it out. Watch me Grow!

1Yr Transitioning..Length Check...& my hair Texture

Image
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

Twisted Updo Video

Image
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

Mini Chop Hair Results

Image
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

Big Chop???? Hair cut Video!

Image
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)

Video:Transitioning Hair Trail

Image
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)
