Style Profile: Cornrow Bun

Hello Again,

Today I'm adding photos of one of my clients I did 2 days ago...She wanted a simple bun with cornrows. And there it is!

Until I get my products up and going, I used the Taliah Waajid's Style & Shine cream. It is great, a nice hold, excellent shine, and wonderful smell.

Let me know what do you think?

My Hairstyle: Cornrow Mohawk with Twists

Hello again,

As promised I am going to keep this blog updated. I was at the salon yesterday, had some time before my client arrived, and my hair needed help! Lol

I was inspired to do the above style on myself, by one of my clients (I did something similar to her hair).

Anywho, in the above pictures, I blow dryer my hair and cornrowed the sides like a mohawk, while leaving the middle out.







Now, in this picture I twisted the hair that was left out to complete the style. The best thing about this style isthe 2 for 1! I can wear it with the twists, or wear a twist out, or blow out the middle and wear that! Ok....sooo....that's a 3 for 1 but you get my point lol!

That's all for now.
Until next time....

I can cornrow my own hair.

Hey there,

I did my hair yesterday morning for a day out and about with my family. I decided to take a photo of it this time because a lot of people do not (can not) believe I can do my own hair without a mirror (I might add). I cornrowed my whole head. Here are the photos (by the way those earrings are made by me):

Now, there this style done by me for me! That's all for now. I am going to go get prepare for the Master Cleanse I will be doing for the next 10 days. I can't wait!


If this is a style you would like to achieve please book your next appointment with me on my site: http://www.loveofhair.com

Style Profile: Extension Cornrows

(excuse my photos. I didn't realize my lens had some kind of film over it when these photos were taken).

Hey I just wanted to put up some photos of extension cornrows I did earlier this afternoon. I choose to do the "feed-in" cornrow method when doing this style. Because of it's beautiful natural look, a lot of hair is NOT used, and it is less stress on the edges.

Well, that is all I just wanted to post these photos. If you have any questions, or comments, please comment below; email me at loveofhair@gmail.com.

If you are seeking this style you can make your next appointment with me at http://www.loveofhair.com.

Thanks for reading.
Until Next Time....

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.

Cornrow Maintenance

Here are some tips on keeping your cornrows fresh.



Make sure that your cornrows are not braided too tight.
Do not be afraid to tell the braider to loosen up; if she/he will not - do not let them continue braiding.

Cornrows that are too tight can pull the hair out from the roots, mostly around the edges.

Cornrows cannot be washed.
Trying to wash your hair while it's cornrowed will make your cornrows unravel quickly.

Your cornrows should last up 2 weeks (natural hair) and up to 3 weeks (extension hair).
Make sure to use a silk scarf, tie your hair every night, and if it starts to get frizzy use a bit of gel (ALCOHOL FREE) before tying the scarf.

If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment email me at loveofhair@gmail.com

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.
