Snip, Snip! A Little Trim

2012-05-26T10:00:00.000-04:00

This past weekend, TB let me trim a few of his locs where there was ingrown lint that we couldn't get out. And as you can see, there is a Sisterlock in there.... See what had happened was....

First, back to TB's Locs. He has been growing his locs for almost 6 years, 4 of which he wasn't protecting them very well at night, and as a result there was lint build-up in the tips. I tried to get most of it out but for some of them it was trapped. So he let me trim the stubborn tips.

You can also see how inside there is some buildup from using beeswax to retwists when he first started his locs. I only trimmed about 15 of his locs and because his locs are already different lengths, you can barely tell.

After Trim

Then, after his cleansing trim, I got a little scissor happy, LOL. You see that little Sisterlock that sticks out from all the others?

The skinny piece was growing from the settled bud and so I figured I'd let the bud flourish and trim off the skinny piece...

With one quick snip, the little guy was in my hand. I must admit I was a little sad I cut it off afterwards, and needless to say that was the only piece of my hair I cut, but the back of my hair is more uniform now.

Have you ever gotten a little scissor happy?

"Why I Embrace Natural Hair and Reject Weave"

I thought this was a beautiful poem about the mentality of our current society and natural hair.

Geisha Bun, Finally!

2012-05-22T07:30:00.000-04:00

One of my Hair Goals for 2012 [HERE] was to achieve a Geisha Bun after I saw a picture on Tumblr [HERE] with a gorgeous set of Sisterlocks pulled up into that style. Now finally, in May of 2012, my Sisterlocks are long enough to achieve this look!

This style is now one of my "go-to" styles when I want to pull my hair off of my face. Especially now that my Sisterlocks are getting really thick, having them out is a lot to manage, LOL!

Have you tried the Geisha Bun? Share pics on the CurlyNuGrowth Facebook Page [HERE]!

Hi-Lites in My Sisterlocks

2012-05-18T12:00:00.000-04:00

A few weeks ago, I had this sudden urge for something different with my hair, but I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do. After a lot of thought and research I decided to Hi-Lite my Sisterlocks! Big deal, right?!

The days leading up to my Hair Appointment (of course I went to a Salon), I was really anxious, even having nightmares about my hair. LOL! But seriously, one night I dreamt that I put conditioner in my hair and all my Sisterlocks unraveled...very traumatic, but they were all still there in the morning! So when the day finally came, I was nervous but excited for the change as well!

You know I couldn't just get my hair lifted to that blonde color, I went Purple!

The reason I lifted my hair color to blonde was so that the Purple color would be more vibrant and noticeable since my hair is naturally dark. My hair was lifted with Permanent color, so I will have to grow the blonde out (or dye it dark), but the purple hair color is a rinse, so it will wash-out over time. The rinse I used is Adore's "Purple Gem" and "Purple Rage".

I loved the end result! Even when my hair is wet you can notice the purple hi-lites!

And when my hair dried from my Flexi-Rod set, the purple is really vibrant just like I wanted it, especially in the Sun!

Bantu Knots on TWA

2012-05-18T10:06:00.000-04:00

One of my good friends did the Big Chop a few months ago and her TWA is starting to grow out of the "Wash-N-Go" phase and she was looking for a new style; so I suggested Bantu Knots. They're relatively easy to do and give great curl definition when you take them out. She was skeptical of doing them, so of course I volunteered to do her first set for her!

For her Bantu Knot set, which we did on wet hair, I used the Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave-In Conditioner to detangle because it has great slip, the Tropical Roots Growth Oil to moisturize her hair, and the Tropical Roots Twist Cream to seal and define the twists.

I used my normal Bantu Knot regimen to create her Bantu Knots (Tutorial available HERE) and because her hair was still wet I put some bobby pins in to secure them while they dried.

With this style, you can sleep in it overnight and take out in the morning for more defined curls or leave the Bantu Knots in for a few days for uber defined curls!

Have you tried this style on your TWA, 'fro, or locs? What other styles do you suggest as your TWA grows into a 'fro?

New Hair Color!

2012-05-08T19:00:00.000-04:00

Retightening Time: 3.5 Hours
Sisterlocks Age: 19 Months

Coloring my Sisterlocks was a major decision and is going to require a lot more care than normal. If you're curious about the process I went through to Hi-Lite my Sisterlocks, you can check out this post [HERE]. I've also recently brought some of the Sisterlocks Reconstructor Conditioner to help my Sisterlocks during this phase with permanent color, but I haven't tried it yet. To be honest, I'm nervous to try it because I haven't had conditioner in my hair in more than a year in a half!

However, my Sisterlock Consultant says that my hair has really settled in and should be able to handle an application of conditioner, so we'll see. She's also noticed that my Sisterlocks are REALLY swelling up in the back and I notice it as well. It takes my hair FOREVER to dry now, but I love the results from my curly sets.

Overall, my Sisterlocks are maturing well and I am really enjoying the journey. Check out my latest vlog [HERE] learn about some of the other things I've changed in my regimen!

Chai Tea Shampoo Bar Review

2012-04-11T13:58:00.002-04:00

A few weeks ago, at the Baltimore Natural Hair Expo [HERE], I picked up a few shampoo bars from the Pure Shea Store. Up until this point, I had never used a shampoo bar on my Sisterlocks, although I have tried the OyinHandmade Poo Bar on my Loose Natural Hair [HERE] and loved the results, so I was anxious to try it on my Sisterlocks.

Right now, at a year and a half, my Sisterlocks still aren't "loc'd" but about 40% of them are beginning to loc and the rest of them are well into the "matting" phase, but there are a few that haven't changed since Day 1 (that 2A section). With that said, I still bundle and band my Sisterlocks when I shampoo to ensure they don't unravel while I'm shampoo'ing. Ok, so now that you know the state that my hair is in, let's get to the review...

Ingredients: Saponified Hemp oil, Soybean oil, Coconut oil, Shea butter, Orris root, fragrance oil, and chai tea spices.

The Shampoo Bar I purchased is in the Chai Tea scent and was about $ 4. As soon as I took it out the packet, I could smell the effervescent chai smell; mmMMm, it was lovely! Now what I've learned from using Shampoo bars before is that they go a really long way and to increase the longevity, you cut it and use it in pieces. So as you can see, I cut a little under an inch of the bar to use for the first few shampoos.

After I bundled my hair and wet it down, I took the small piece of the Shampoo bar and massaged in onto my scalp to create the lather. During the first shampoo, it took about a minute to get a nice shampoo lather but for subsequently shampoos the lather was almost instantaneous. The shampoo bar smelled really nice while I was shampooing and after using my little piece for about 5 shampoos (across two shampoo experiences), its still pretty big.

After my first shampoo experience with it, only using the Shampoo bar, I really liked how it made my Sisterlocks feel; they were moisturized but without causing any slippage and they smelled great. The only downsize was that i noticed was the shampoo bar isn't really cleansing, so even though my scalp was clean, I still had some dandruff on my Sisterlocks. After my second, most recent experience, I used the Jamaican Mango-Lime Tingle Shampoo [review coming soon] first and then two shampoo's with the shampoo bar and I was really happy with the results. My Sisterlocks were completely clean, no dandruff, AND they were moisturized.

Overall, I like the Chai Tea shampoo bar and will continue to use it along with my cleansing shampoos to give my Sisterlocks a clean and moisturizing shampoo.

Have you ever tried a Pure Shea Store shampoo bar or any other Shampoo bar on your hair? How did you like it?

The NuGrowth Book Club is Official!

2012-04-11T08:00:00.002-04:00

My vision for the NuGrowth Book Club is to build knowledge within the natural hair community by reading and discussing Non-Fiction African-American Literature about Culture & Beauty. Initially, I was going to have the NuGrowth Book Club solely online, but I love the in-person interaction and sense of community, so I'm going to do BOTH! You can join the NuGrowth Book Club by subscribing to the mailing list [HERE] or below.

We will be kicking off the NuGrowth Book Club meetings on the first Saturday of the month, beginning in May. Our first discussion will be at the Barnes & Nobles in DC (location subject to change) and online via the NuGrowth Book Club Channel on UStream.

So grab your copy of "The Science of Black Hair", either hard copy or e-book version [Kindle or Nook], and enjoy a great read! As you read, jot down any questions you may have or areas you'd like to comment on and join me & the NuGrowth Book Club for our first discussion!

If you're in the DC area, make sure you tell a friend and both of you can RSVP to the NuGrowth Book Club meetings [HERE] or if you're joining in online subscribe the Ustream Channel [HERE]!

DC / Maryland / Virginia Natural Hair Salon Tour!

2012-03-27T08:10:00.001-04:00

For the Spring/Summer I am putting together a Natural Hair Salon Tour with my NuGrowth Meetups group! The first stop on the tour is this Sunday, April 1st!

From the #NuGrowthChat & #HGKWW Chats on Twitter and talking with people during meetups, I've learned that a lot of women & men don't go to the hair salon because they're either not comfortable with a salon because they've never been or don't know what to expect. Dispelling these issues is something that I hope to achieve during this 2012 Salon Tour as well as helping people to find a salon close to home if they need services.

If you're interested in having your Salon added to the tour or want to share the Salon you go to, send me an email at jojo@curlynugrowth.com.

To RSVP to the first stop on the Salon Tour, view the details [HERE].

Pipe Cleaners Set Tutorial

2012-03-26T23:35:00.004-04:00

I achieved this curly set by using Pipe Cleaners (yes the things we used to play with as a kid) and I must say, 3rd time is a charm. My previous experiences with Pipe Cleaners [HERE] weren't that pleasant, even though they always produce nice curls I'd lose so much hair. But this time around, none of the Pipe Cleaners got stuck and needed to be ripped from my head, YAY!

In order to set your hair on Pipe Cleaners, you first need to turn the pipe cleaners into 'Pipe Cleaner Rollers'. This is a really simple two-step process. Check out the 'How to Make Pipe Cleaner Rollers' video [HERE] for a quick tutorial.

After you have about 30-40 Pipe Cleaner Rollers, you can begin setting your hair on them. I personally use relatively small sections, but you could use larger sections if you wanted because the pipe cleaners are so small the curls will always be tight. The most important step with a Pipe Cleaner set, is in taking out the Pipe Cleaner. You always want to unravel the Pipe Cleaner Roller in the direction of the curl or else the pattern will be lost and your hair will be sticking up all over the place.

Check out the 'Pipe Cleaners Set Hairstyle Tutorial' [HERE] to see exactly what I'm talking about.

Loc Soc vs. Dreadsock: Which Is Best For Protecting Your Locs?

2012-03-26T22:42:00.000-04:00

Protecting your locs at night is very important, especially if you want to retain moisture and prevent lint from getting trapped in your locs. One of the most common ways to protect your hair at night is with a satin bonnet, but how many men with locs will wear a satin bonnet? Or how many women have really long locs that don't fit into a satin bonnet? The Loc Soc and/or Dreadsock seek to solve that problem.

I've had a Loc Soc since I first got my Sisterlocks in 2010, but as my Sisterlocks got longer, they started to stick out the Loc Soc and I noticed more and more lint in my hair. I also brought TB an XL Loc Soc and his locs always hung out of the bottom, leaving lint in his tips. Then, I stumbled upon the Dreadsock and ordered us both one immediately! TB has since given up completely on the Loc Soc and wears the Dreadsock, or Loc Bag as he calls it, faithfully. I still wear my Loc Soc because my Sisterlocks aren't quite long enough to fit comfortably in the Dreadsock (they clump in one area), but I'll grow into it.

Check out the quick video comparison of the Dreadsock versus the Loc Soc to see why the Dreadsock works great for long locs and the Loc Soc is a better option for shorter locs.

How do you protect your locs are night?

[RECAP] 2012 Baltimore Natural Hair Expo

2012-03-24T21:03:00.000-04:00

I had an AMAZING time at the Baltimore Natural Hair Expo! I met a lot of great vendors & stylists and a few of my CurlyNuGrowth supporters came up to me and said "Hi!"; it was great!

Check out some of the pictures I snapped at the event and also a few video clips!

I had the pleasure of meeting Asha Mandela, the women with the World's longest locs! She was really nice and also shared a few of the products she makes and uses on her hair. Of course, I brought some! I think products from a women with 19 feet of healthy hair, must have a great hair care secret!

I also met the Founders of BlackAloes, a health and wellness shop. They were selling handmade soaps, oils, and wellness products. I purchased a few soaps and I can't wait to try them!

Aziza Yasmine of AIIZ Naturals was doing on the spot Loc styles for men and women and I managed to catch a video of her amazing work.

The style came out beautifully! I might try to recreate it on my Sisterlocks, but I might need Aziza to do it for me!

Glenn, the President of Woollylocks, introduced himself to me and showed me the lastest in protective covering for locs. Check out his head covering, it has a drawstring closure so your locs and be completely covered or exposed & off your face.

Not only did I meet a lot of vendors, I saw some beautiful hairstyles as well!

Loc Updo

Intricate Loc Styling

Bantu Knots

Mom & Daughter with Sisterlocks

I was so happy to meet people that have been reading my blog & watching my videos! I appreciate the love and support!

Her Sisterlocks were fabulous!! I love the color!

The World's largest Afro was also in the building! So not only the longest locs, but the largest afro too!

As you exited the main area, the Naptural Bill of Rights were on display! I love them!!

Overall, I had an amazing time! And if you missed it this year, defintiely be on the look out for it this year and/or come to Happy Nappy Day in July (more information later) or check if there is a Natural Hair Expo in your area [HERE].

All product reviews and accessories will be posted shortly on here and all health and beauty product reviews will be on my personal blog, Neosoul & Tea [HERE].

My Hair Goals For March

2012-03-06T07:59:00.000-05:00

Pipe Cleaner Curls

After lots of slippage last month [READ HERE], I'm going to try to stay out of my hair and only do curly styles for the month of March. I love doing curly sets because they last for a really long time with only using water and my Sisterlocks look "styled" everyday with little effort.

Since I'll already be doing curly sets, I figured I would also make tutorials for the styles that I do. Yay, right?! So here are a few of the tutorials that I have planned this month:

Lock Loops Set

Pipe Cleaners Set

Pin Curl Set

Let me know if you'd like to see any other style tutorials.

Retightening After Major Slippage

2012-03-03T09:14:00.000-05:00

Retightening Time: 3.5 Hours

Sisterlocks Age: 16 Months

Time Between Retightening: 6 Weeks

From my post at the beginning of last month [HERE], you know Ive been participating in a styling challenge where I was trying to achieve a new style each day. However after a few days my scalp became extremely tender and I noticed a lot of slippage. I tried to continue doing some styling with my Sisterlocks after I set them on Lock Loops, but my hair just wasn't having it, so I had to stop. Even though I couldn't complete the challenge, I learned something new about my hair; it doesn't like too manipulation.

Before Retightening

As you can see, after my normal 5 weeks between retightening, my nu growth was like a mini afro from all the slippage and a lot my hairs had crept out of my Sisterlocks.

After Retightening

Because I had so much slippage, my Sisterlock Consultant decided to only do one full rotation on my Sisterlocks and not retightening all the way to my scalp. I was really glad she made this decision because my scalp was still a little sensitive and having a sore scalp after my retightening was not something I was looking forward to. By doing only one rotation, my Sisterlocks were all laying in the same direction and were loose enough that my scalp was relaxed! I was quite happy!

Check out my Sisterlock Vlog update [HERE] for an up close view of my Sisterlocks after my retightening and also some of the new Oyin Handmade and Jamaican Mango & Lime products that I have been using!

How To Get Straight Hair Without Heat!

2012-02-17T07:43:00.000-05:00

Total Style Time: 2 Hours

Products Used: Big Rollers, Water, Double Clip Pins

I took my Sisterlocks from curly to straight using mainly water and big rollers. The versatility of Sisterlocks is so amazing and the fact that they're designed to hold curls makes achieving a slightly bent straight hair super look easy.

I used the really big rollers that require the double clip pins to secure. The magnetic rollers that snap-on will work too, but if your hair is about the same length as mine the set will be curly versus straight.

I sectioned my hair like a Mohawk first and then set the middle row. I used the water bottle to spray my hair with water as I did each section or optionally, you can use setting lotion.

Then, I set the sides in equal sections; using as few rollers as possible.

As you can see in the front, I clipped a lot of the sections on the bottom and top to ensure my hair stayed close to the rollers. this is especially important if you're going to air dry.

I sat under the dryer for an hour and when I took out the rollers I have slightly bent curls.

Voila! Getting a straight hair look with just water and big rollers! Check out the video tutorial [HERE] for more details....

Ouch! Too Much Styling With My Sisterlocks

2012-02-08T02:07:00.000-05:00

I have been styling my hair daily as part of the 29 Styles Challenge [HERE] and after 7 days, its really taking a toll on my hair. As much as I've been enjoying coming up with different styles these past few days, I feel like my hair hates me for it!

Right now, my scalp is really tender and pretty much for the past few days, in the middle of the day, the bobby pins or loc tie that I used to create my hairstyle start to cause me major pain; to the points its almost unbearable and I have to take down the style. In addition to the tender scalp, I am experiencing a lot of slippage and hairs creeping out of my Sisterlocks. Check out my Sisterlocks Vlog update [HERE] or below to see exactly what I'm talking about...
