Natural Hair Typing: What's My Hair Type?

Hey guys!

One of the things I commit to doing a few times a week is answering the questions you post here on Facebook, Instagram (Boldly Blending Out) or on my Youtube channel. One of the most frequently asked questions is concerning natural hair typing (whether I do or don't) and what my hair type happens to be. I've answered this question quite a few times, but took this opportunity to vlog (see below) my thoughts on hair typing in general and to actually show you the various hair textures on my head. :)

Later I think my daughter will also share her hair types. Until then...enjoy!

Question: Do you think hair typing is dividing the natural hair community?

NATURAL HAIR Flat Twist Out - Design Essentials Curl Stretch Cream

Hey Guys!

I last month I attended a natural hair meet up (which was so much fun!!!) and received a container of Design Essentials Curl Stretch Cream during the product swap. I've finally gotten around to using it.

In this video, I'm revealing the results of using the product on a flat twist out. I didn't start with washed hair. Instead I transitioned my natural hair from a wash and go to the flat twist out and loved the results!

I'm not going to talk too much about the product yet because this is my first time using it and I want to try using it in different ways so that I can provide you with the best product review possible.

Hope you like the results! I can't wait to hear your thoughts, so please do leave a comment!

Hugs, L

NATURAL HAIR | BANGIN Bantu Knot Out!

OMG!!! Stop the Press!!!!!! FINALLY!!!! Bantu Knot Out Success!!!

Bantu knot outs used to be my go to style during my transition to natural hair, but when I reached the 10-12 month transitioning milestone I disliked the results no matter what I did. NOW I'm thrilled that I can once again add this easy style to my stretched hair rotation. :)

Hope you like the results! Let me know your thoughts. :)

$7.99 Pillow Covers - 12 Styles Available!

I know I've been lacking on the deals front! You guys know that I'm frugal as heck and one of the things I promised to do with this page was share great bargains and deals I have come across. As it happens, I'm in the process of transforming my dining room into a multi purpose space, so I think I'll share this fun, exciting and thrifty experience with the special folks in my life - YOU GUYS! :)

I saw these super cute pillow covers on GroopDealz today! Normally, I'd make my own pillowcases, but for the fabric quality, design aspect and price (only $7.99!) I can't pass them up!
