JULY's Style of the Month!

Good Morning!!

July is here everyone and I was trying to figure out what to offer for July (since I didn't do anything specials for June). Started thinking about what styles haven't I done in a while or not at all.

I could not choose so, I created a poll for the website, this blog, and my facebook fan page.

Here were the choices:

• Micro Braids (full head)
• Micro Braids with Sew-In Extensions
• Cornrows with Sew-In Extensions
• Individual Tree Braids (full head)
• Individual Tree Braids with Sew-In Extensions

Based on the results: Micro Braids and Micro Braids with Sew-In Extensions were tied! 

My final decision is......

MICRO BRAIDS WITH SEW-IN EXTENSIONS

(human or synthetic hair)

If this is a style you would like to achieve please go to my site for the special price and to book your appointment before the calendar fills up: http://www.loveofhair.com

Tree Braids Models & Crochet Projects

Hey there,

Been a while since I made a post. I've been doing a lot of client's hair for this rainy season.

In February, I wanted 4 models - my search is semi-complete - I have 3 models. Very happy about that. I will be taking before and after photos of this style so, the beauty can be seen.

I'm also excited that I'm working on my crafts projects again.
I made a matching hat & scraf set - all crocheted my me - for my daughter, threaded earrings & rasta styled beanie set for these rainy days!

I wanted to show off my craft work more to come soon....
Thanks for reading!

NEW STYLE: Tree Braids!!

YES YES YESSSS!! I have finally try my hand at Tree Braids (cornrow base). I am very pleased with the job. She is my first model for the style. I have been asked if and when I will be adding this to the list of services...

Well, I believe I am ready to make this the STYLE OF THE MONTH for DECEMBER!!

Actually I will let you be the judge (you can click on the photos):

The model's hair is the Batik by Outre brand (Deep Bulk). It is synthetic hair and 18" in length. In my opinion, it is best to get hair that is at least 18" to ensure the hair covers the braids. For now I am only doing Tree Braids with Curly or Wavy Hair textures because I know for sure I will be able to cover the braid. Until, I grasp the Curly and/or Wavy hair, straight hair will have to wait.  Oh, I braided some individual braids at the nape of her neck so, she can wear a ponytail.

It took me 6 hours from start to finish. I do know that's not a good time for this style however, she was my first Tree Braid client. My ideal goal time is 3 1/2 - 4 hours I just need some people who would like to help while getting this beautiful style. I am not sure if it will be for December or January, please give me some feedback.

If you would like to become a model for this style let me know:

• I will need about 4 more ladies. 
• I suggest that the hair has a curly or wavy texture. 
• The hair should be in bulk form and not on a weft. 
• Minimum hair length: 18" so hair can cover braids.
• Also, if you don't mind, synthetic hair for now until this is completely mastered.

The model price for this style is $80.

My Favorite Hair Brands

Here you will find a list of products for braids, twists, and locs - including the synthetic hair brands.

For regular single braids I use the RastAfri jumbo kanekalon hair. This hair is soft on my fingers, better quality for your hair, and resembles human hair. I also, use this hair the extension cornrow services as well.

To keep the shine and condition the scalp I like the Dr. Miracle's Braid Spray. It has a tingle feel and a semi-strong "medicated" smell. Or, try the Taliah Waajid Protective Mist Bodifier. This is an all natural product, great for keeping your hair moisturized while braided. This spray also as the "tingle" feel as well.

For the twist services I use the Black N Gold brand of synthetic dreadlock kinky hair and a different variety of products (not all at once though). I use an alcohol free gel called Twists N Locs mixed with some extra virgin olive oil and Taliah Waajid's African Healing Oyl.

Natural Hair Extensions

I love natural hair as you may know. But, it never occurred to me to do sew-in weaves that resembles our natural hair. Now, don't get me wrong I know they are out there but, I didn't think of trying it out on my clients until 2 weeks.

I do the Micros withe Sew-In Weave and one day a new client booked an appointment for that style. Except this time we did just the sew-in without the micro braids and my goodness...if I do say so myself GORGEOUS!!!
