My fake Blowout! (NO Heat)

Currently 8 months and 2 1/2 weeks post relaxer! I'm loving this fake blowout.... Its wonderful how I have been able to dodge my blow dryer and flat iron! Haven't even looked at those tools in over 8 months. Is it safe for me to say that I don't miss those hot tools? Well, I DON'T MISS THEM.

Here is how I achieved this simple look without the usage of a blow dryer- its so simple, its criminal. Here it goes:

Yesterday I co-washed my hair in two sections-after having co-washed my hair I proceeded to air dry my hair (scarf method) while it was still sectioned into two and braided up. I had my scarf on until this AM, before I decided to moisturize my hair with Motions hair lotion. After undoing my braids I proceeded to moisturize my hair and brush it with what appears to be a Denman brush (which is not, I bought one just like it at the 99 cents store and believe me it works the best in my hair). With the first stroke of the "Denman" brush I saw how it looked like a blowout style but I was still very unsure since the other side was still braided up. After having done the previous on both sides- I noticed how much it resembled a blowout! Do keep in mind that I am transitioning, so maybe that helped a lot in achieving this look--  I wonder if I will be able to pull this off once all of my hair is in its natural state.

Here is the ONLY product and tool that I used:
 This is my very first time using this moisturizing lotion- so far so good :)
So, there you have it- My fake blowout. Now didn't I say this was very simple? And just like that *snaps fingers* I achieved this blowout look with NO HEAT whatsoever!!!

Eco Styler Gel Olive Oil Wash and Go!

Image
I am absolutely in love with this gel! Its gives great hold and allows for me to have preserved wash and go's for as long as I want before washing my hair! The smell is light and with the new technique that I am using when I do my wash and go's drying time has minimized! My curls hang a lot more with the new technique. Although I still experience shrinkage (which comes with the territory of being natural) I must say that I am very pleased with the dry ending results. Here is my day 3 hair WNG: I have yet to try the other Eco Styler gels but so far I am more than pleased with what the Eco Styler gel Olive Oil can do for my hair. I get a lot of questions as to whether or not it makes my hair crunchy, hard, flaky, or dry and my answer to all of these is no. It does give a good hold but not crunchy at all, I always get movement with my hair- its never stiff. I also want everyone to be aware that I apply my leave in conditioner and oi

My Perfect Wash and Go!

Image
I have finally perfected my wash and go's! I've had great wash and go days but I was constantly struggling with trying to eliminate frizz. Today as I browsed through YouTube I payed close attention to Mahogonaycurls technique and how she achieves her wash and go styles. One technique in particular was what caught my attention and had the little voice in my head say, "try it! I really believe this will work for your hair as well". I did not even finish watching the video when I found myself in the bathroom trying this new technique. The technique is simple, all I did was apply Eco styler gel on my dry hair (you can also do it on wet or damp hair, just wanted to minimize my shrinkage- why I chose to apply the gel on dry hair) and section it off in really small sections. Apply the gel and continue until fully done- my hair looks and feels very moisturized, which is exactly what I've been longing for with my wash and go's. I will continue to do this technique- m
