Bun and updo protective natural hair styles
On Wednesday nights my guilty pleasure is Empire. Great acting, engaging story lines, and good music, but… another thing that keeps me coming back is Serayah. Serayah McNeil is the lovely singer and actress who plays Tiana on Empire. Not only is she talented, but her hair is just gorgeous and I think she is […]
Several people have asked how I wear my natural hair in between my 2 week washings. This is a simple natural hair style that I wear quiet frequently to work and around the house. It is quick and it is also a protective style. This style can easily be adapted for shorter hair. 1) […]
The straight bun is any easy style for natural hair, it can help keep your natural hair straighter for a longer time. Start with hair that has been blown out or flat ironed. To minimize heat use stretch your hair using rollers and sit under a hooded dryer instead of straightening. Watch my video here […]
This is a super easy and quick style I do pretty regularly on my twisted natural hair. I can do this hair style in under an hour and it lasts me a week. Then I take the twists loose and wear a twist out. 1) Put your hair in loose jumbo twists. I do […]
This natural hair twist style can be done on medium length or long hair. It generally takes me about 1.5-2 hours from start to finish but it lasts a week or more. (edited: on my currently length this style takes about 30 minutes longer) 1) Start with dry or slightly damp detangled hair. I prefer […]
This natural hair style is basically two big flat twists and a bun. It is simple to do and usually lasts me about 3 days. For this style you will need large bobby pins, a pony tail holder, a brush and gel. I typically do this style on my natural hair that I have stretched […]
This is the natural hair style I go to when I don’t have time to do my hair. It is quick and easy to do. I particularly like to do this bun hair style on wash days when I need to go out before my hair has had time to completely dry or if […]
This bun is often called a sock bun, however I don’t use a sock or any stuffing. If your hair is thin you should consider using a satin covered scrunchie or natural textured weave to stuff the bun and give it a full look. 1) Start with hair that is slightly damp. 2) […]
This simple updo hair style takes me about 10 minutes. One thing I like about this style is that it can last 3-4 days if I tie it up at night and braid up the loose bang in the front. You can accessorize this style however you want. I used a comb with a ribbon […]
I wear this natural updo hair style quite frequently in the summer. It is super quick and it will usually last a week. I do this style on hair that has been stretched out by braiding or blowdrying. This style is great for natural hair growth because it requires little manipulation once it is done, […]

Irresistible Me Diamond Flat Iron Product Review
The Irresistible Me Diamond Professional Styling Iron is by far the best flat iron I have used. The price is reasonable in comparison to other high end flat irons and it actually works. I flat ironed my hair in one pass and I did not have to blow dry my hair straight first which is […]
