Protective Styling: What should I do?

Protective Styling: What should I do?

So its Summer, well Hurricane Season for us folks who live in the Tropics and I feel protective styling-ish. I am getting bored and want to put my hair away from sometime (Tired of dealing with it/Bored) Afterall…Its Summer right! :D

I’ve been searching the internet for some time now looking for something to do with my hair and I think I’ve come up with the perfect solution. Havana Twists ..WHOOP!


I first fell in love with them with this picture I saw on the internet. 


I cant tell you where I found it, I just stumbled upon it one day. I was like “What hair is this! What style is this?” “I have got to get this done” Then I started doing more research and found out their name and what braiding hair it was. I know there’s some whole confused between what is Marley twist and Havana twist and the whole hair thing but I am gonna get Havana twist done with Havana hair.

So in about a couple weeks I’m going to get them done. I will be ordering the hair next week from FingerComber.com and installing them myself. They look pretty easy to do as I’ve seen several youtube videos on different methods. I’ll just do them on a weekend so that way I have plenty time to do them over and over if I don’t get them right at first.

My only thing is that I haven’t seen any relaxed ladies get them done only naturals, I’m starting to wonder if that is for a reason. Do they look awkward? Or don’t last long one relaxed ladies? What’s the deal folks?

Product review: Paul Mitchell Awaphui Wild Ginger Moisturing Lather Shampoo

Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Moisturizing Lather Shampoo





 What is it:
PM Wild Ginger is a sulphate free shampoo that works for any and all hair types.


Ingredient:
The key ingredients are Sodium cocoyl isothionate, awapuhi wild ginger extract, and keratin.


My assessment:
I absolutely LOVE this shampoo. It works so well on my relaxed Afro-Caribbean hair. I was once one of those people who thought those Caucasian branded products would work well for "black" hair but..Boy was I wrong. Lol. This shampoo cleanses my hair so well without drying it out. It always leaves my hair well condition and moisturized. Its an ultimate staple for me. 


However, I don't use this shampoo that often as the Paul Mitchell Super skinny shampoo is my regular. I use the two in rotation. With this shampoo, a little goes a long way.Man! Can this shampoo lather up One can use a little as a dime size and it lathers to shampoo the entire head. It is white in color and of a very creamy consistency. Sometimes if I'm not careful it slips through my fingers and falls to the floor before I start rubbign my hands together to lather . Its amazing! .. trust me and the smell is unbelievable too :D


I dont think I will ever sstop using this shampoo. I'm glad I decided to give it a try. It as worth the try. 


5 STARS all around! *****
