I love God & my family. Some of my hobbies include; natural hair, music, fashion, and did I mention natural hair. I am the ultimate girlie girl; I love dressing up, doing hair, makeup, fashion and SHOES. I value family, life, embrace self acceptance and cherish the things God give me to steward. I am optimistic and also a skeptic. It cost absolutely nothing to be positive or negative, I choose to be positive. This blog will incorporate a mixture of things that I am most passionate about. The main focus is hair but I will throw other things in there every once in a while. Please feel free to comment and ask questions, I LOVE QUESTIONS! Since going natural I have been glued to my laptop, I enjoy networking with other naturals who share the same love and respect for natural hair. My goal is to reach waist length hair by Aug 23, 2013. Thank you for stopping by Peace & blessings. Happy growing!!!!

Pin up girl hair tutorial


This style was a 1940s pin up girl inspired it is very classic and can be dressed up. These pic were from my first attempt but sometime you have to repeat the style before you get a polished finish, so please do not be discouraged if it doesn't come out right the first try. Every time I revisit this style it looks better, perfection comes with practice. For more natural style you can make a special request. Will be posting tutorials weekly.

You will need; Perm rods (i used the purple ones), wrap foam, setting lotion, end wraps, rats tail comb, bobby pins, and water

Step 1: part damp (wash & conditioned) hair into 4 sections with rats tail comb. Start on back area of head begin by applying wrap foam to section, them apply setting lotion

Step 2: Next part hair in small sections, begin by wrapping end wrap  to ends of each sections before applying rods, then tightly roll perm rods to section...tips:
1.be sure each rods are tight and secure.
2. you may have to add water to each section as hair dries. add water b4 anything else
3. the Thinner the parts the faster hair will dry.
4. For the back and side sections roll perm rods in downward motion towards your neck and face. for the front crown section roll rods  upward.

step 3: Repeat this step until all sections are in rods.

step 4. you can let hair air dry, sit under dryer, or sleep with rods in overnight using a silk bonnet to control frizz ( I did the overnight method)

Step 5. Once hair is COMPLETELY DRY, carefully take out rods, you will have curls all over your head now its time for styling

step 6. use hands to pull hair up into style. pull back and sides in upward direction toward top of head while pnining then up with bobby pins. For the top center curls gently wrap curls around your finger and pull for volume. The ends may look frizzy but you can hide then under curls. Tip: no matter what you do, do not use comb,brush, or water base products for styling
