Raise your hand...

if you belong to the "If I Can't Pull It Together In 20 Minutes, It's Not Gonna Happen" hair club...
I know there has to be more folks who belong to this club than me?? When I was on maternity leave (tee-hee), I perused many hair blogs, videos and websites about hair. I was amazed at how much time some folks spend to achieve a particular style or texture for their hair. That's not to even mention the products out there that you have to apply in layers to sopping wet hair and you can't touch it until 60 hours later once it dries...Good LAWD!
I'm on a quest to maintain simple hair and styling. I LOVE looking at folks who can put the time in and who have the gift and patience to twist their hair for HOURS only to untwist and wear a twist out, or wear the twists...I wish I could...
So in answer to how I make it "do what it do"?...Here's what I does...er..do...(Is that right?)
Freshly co-washed hair...No products...

I apply my "concoction" and comb through to the ends, and put it in a braid...

Then I go to bed...(this step is really important!!!)

In the am, I take the braid out...Shake and I get this...My hair was still a little damp, so I didn't need to apply anything...Also, if I would have left it braided for a few more hours, it wouldn't have shrunk up as much...All I have to do to get some length is pull on it a little...
Pretty simple...

Nice hair! I have been toying with the idea of going natural. I have been on the creamy crack since I was 12 and I'm a little afraid of what my natural hair looks like. But, I'll get the guts soon. But my DD is a curly girl and she is 2 and I want to be a good role model for her. BTW, your little muffin man looks delicious! Look @ those cheeks! Too cute!
