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....

Oops! I neglected you!

Please forgive me...

Well, it's been quite some time since the last time I posted any style photos, product updates or crochet/earring making. Shame on me! But, in my defense I have been crazy busy with clients.

I'm now really going to make the effort to keep this blog current for you. Starting of with getting the style photos posted and videos as well.

Here are the updates/additions coming soon...

1.) October 31st - November 2nd I'll be in Atlanta for the Taliah Waajid Natural Hair Seminar (http://www.naturalhair.org she has a great product line as well). I can't wait to go and come back with all new natural hair styling I'm going to learn! And!, I'm taking my video camera with me to video blog the entire trip.

2.) November 1st (really the whole month) I'm going to be giving away goodie hair treats (samples of my new products) to my current clients and 5 goodie hair treats to viewers on my new videos.

Well, that's enough for now...especially since I'm posting this on my phone instead of my computer lol!

Until next time....

Bay Area Natural Hair Event - July 31st

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
