2014 wrap up| Look back at my Styles

2014 was such a good year for my hair!

Reasons why it was so good...

1. Henna! my hair has more color and health due to henna use
2. Deep conditioner- I have added deep conditioning to my routine every wash day
3. Homemade oil mixtures- I make my own oil mixtures which you can find here
4. Skills- My skill at doing my own hair has grown
5. Growth- after such a big chop earlier in 2014 I had much growth before the end of the year
6. Styles- I had many styles and was never bored
7. Check it out for yourself in this video below

December blow out

 My winter Blowout!

Hey girl hey!

It has been a while since I updated you on my hair.

I  have been rocking my twists and twist-outs faithfully.

There have been a few updates to my hair routine and I will touch on that a bit below.

 

I blow dried my hair in sections and twisted each once dry and moved on to the next.

Channeling Diana

My lovely blown-out hair.

My finished look

I added the headband for added style and twisted the hair and pinned it to form a cute style.

The products I used.

Herbal Essences Naked cleansing conditioner

Tangle tamer

Oil mixture

Aussie 3minute moist deep conditioner

Beautiful textures Edges& Ends Silkener

Tresemme Curl hydration conditioner

Pantene heat protection spray

 

The Method:

I washed my hair with the cleansing conditioner (I love this product and it has replaced all other co-washes for me. I love the smell, the cleansing effects, and the feel of my hair).

 I then used the Tresemme (like the smell, not that great just trying to finish the bottle)

 followed by the Aussie deep conditioner (LOVE THIS!!!!) during this time I used a clay mask and bathed

next up was my oil mixture

follow that with a rinse to get the majority of the oil out

 then I dried my hair a bit with my turbie wrap ( I had detangled in the shower with a wide tooth comb under the water and with conditioner in my hair)

 I sectioned my hair and added Shea Moisture Restorative conditioner(not pictured) and detangled more

 then prior to blow drying each section I sprayed in the Pantene product (and of course combed that though)

I used the Tension Method to straighten and dry the lengths of my hair and finger combed or used the Tangle Tamer to straighten the ends

 Once my hair was all dry and twisted in sections I untwisted the sections and applied the Beautiful Textures products to my edges

( I used this for a bit of hold and do not really believe any products will "slick your natural edges")then brushed the hair up and placed my pony tail

 I made two strand twists in the ponytail and then pinned the sections at the ends to form the style

 ( I did not have time for a scared but would have used it here if I did)

I finished off the style with a head band.

 

 

Twisted bun

So to celebrate the last day of my straight hair I did one last styling video. My hair was very frizzy at this point due to the humidity in my city. This style was very easy and worked to protect my hair. Twists are the major facet in the style, you know how I love them. I also got to use the Beauty Elixir by Orofluido aka oil that I received in my October Birchbox. I love the way this product smells, it's vanilla amber with argan oil and two others I am unfamiliar with.
