A very neutral and simple look.  Great for when you want to wear shadow to work but don't feel like going all out.

Curly Fro/Twistout

I got bored with my regular twistout so while on youtube I found a way I could spice it up and I love it.  It's a really easy curly fro. The method in the video didn't work for me so I tried this one which works great!
Simply get yourself some foam rollers. You can get them at the beauty supply they come in packs of 5-6 in varying sizes. Pick the roller size you want for the curl size you want.  I use the mid to larger sized ones which are kinda long. Perm rods also work well but I advise using paper since the surface is somewhat rough and can snag your hair. This can be done on freshly twisted hair or on older twists when you're ready for a twistout. The amount of twists are up to you. You can do a few twists or a lot. Before I set them on the rods I spritz with my glycerin mix and rub my shea butter/coconut mix through my hair.

Step 1: Set your twists on flex rods.  I leave them in overnight.

Step 2: Take out rods separate the curls than begin to untwist.

Step 3:  Fluff and you're good to go!

Back to Black

For 2009 I'm going back to my fave hair color blue black.  I like to color my hair black for the fall/winter and a burgundy for the spring/summer. 2007 I went to the Dominican Republic and came back with seriously noticeable red hair. Toward the end of 2008 I cut a lot of the color out but the ends were still red and I was tired of it. I either use Feria or Garnier but the beauty supply didn't have them so I picked up my stand by  Bigen.

See the color on the ends...

 I used 2 boxes of Bigen which was just the right amount for my hair...

 My tools: plastic cap, bowl spoon and gloves.

Once you mix it with water you get a pretty purple concoction...

 Color applied...

 Put my plastic cap on and chill for 30-45 minutes...

 All rinsed out , no more red ends!

 Deep condition with Elasta QP DPR11 mixed with coconut oil

Results...

 No flash

I love it! There is a purple black by Feria that I want to try but I haven't seen it anywhere. I do know they sell it overseas. I don't but from overseas sellers so I'm still debating on whether or not I'm going to get it.

FOTD 12/28

I'm so in love with Urban Decay Shadows!  I'm trying to figure out what took me so long to try them out. This is a pretty neutral look.
