Nubi Nubi Twists (continued)

I finished a good client of mine hair today and I wanted to share with you the photos from this session:

I am really really liking this style. As I said before in my last post, this is the Nubi Nubi Twists, the hair used is the Janet Collection Afro Kinky Bulk. We didn't have to order the hair from the site eon-hair. Which is good because it will cut the cost for us on the west coast. The hair run about $9.99 per pack and you will need about 3 packs.

I am loving this style!!! It is soft and light. Basically, it is different from the normal Kinky Twists or the Senegalese Twists (even though there's another way of that style I want to try... on another post).

Holiday Gifting

Last year, I was on a roll with making bath & body products. Now, I was thinking of doing hair care items. Since, I am in that field that makes much more sense. I will be making the products that I have used on myself.

First, I will be making Black Onyx it has dual usage as a shampoo and a full body wash. Second, Creamy Locs for those who have locs and/or twists styles. Third, Whipped Creamy Pudding a moisturizing cream with light oils for everyday use and other natural hair styling. Lastly, Island Gold a conditioner that can be left in or act as a deep conditioner infused with herbs that promotes healthy hair.

These are the 4 things I will start with first. I have decided to leave them un-scented because everyone may not like what I like. However, if I get a collective poll on the scents then maybe.

They will not be for sale but as gifts. I will selected 5 winners through facebook or twitter. You'll have to answer the trivia questions regarding me and the info that's on my website, www.loveofhair.com.

You have to make sure you are a fan on facebook and/or following me on twitter. I will post 5 questions and the first person with the correct answer will receive the gift. Only one (1) gift per person. A message will be sent saying "You are the winner!", then you'll have to give me your address so, it can be mailed to you!

I feel really good about this. The products are handmade and all natural! The ingredients will be listed. That's all for now. Off to start ordering supplies and picking the trivia questions.

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.
