My Hair: The Coil Out

Miss Mikelah — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 04:43:09 +0000

I recently (recent as in 2 months ago) cut my hair into a long bob, I knew it would look great straight, but had to admit I wasn’t sure how my curls would look, even though I’ve cut it shorter for “the chop” when officially went natural about 5 years ago. I have to say that I’m totally in love with my shorter hair, curly and straight. I have been rocking the curls most of the summer because the humidity and straight hair don’t mix (even when I had a relaxer it didn’t work so well). However, I do straightening when getting it cut or trimmed especially since I finally found a stylist whom I trust.

I’m a fanatic when it comes to two things: hair and shoes. Both have to be perfect when I step out of the door or else my day is just all wrong. I often make suttle changes to my ‘do by adding a head band, pin up or pull back, but my all out ‘fro is my absolute favorite. I wash using Pantene Relaxed & Natural Shampoo and Conditioner. I then put a healthy amount of Garnier Frutis Leave-in Conditioning Cream.

I then use Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding and coil hair around my finger in about 2-inch sections. I usually airdry, but you can opt to sit under the dryer. Once completely dry (a little dampness is ok) I’ll seperate and fluff. This look will last about 3-4 days before it starts to look a little raggedy, but the process is pretty easy and not as time consumer, so this is my “go-to” look regularly.

Web Wednesday: Le Coil

I come across a lot of black hair blogs, mostly for natural hair, when I’m looking for new ways to style my own hair. With all the talk surrounding black hair lately, especially with Chris Rock’s Good Hair buzz, I came across — and LOVED this photo-blog called Le Coil. It’s simply amazing photos of women, some famous and some just regular beauties, stylishly sporting their natrual tresses! Most of the photos are taken by site owner Jamala Johns

Rihanna’s New Cut

So Rihanna decided to go a little lower.

Can’t really call it the Cassie effect since she cut her hair before Cassie. Don’t think I’m a fan of this one though.

Beauty Buy Worth a Try

I’m always looking for new products to tame my curly tresses. I’ve been an avid user of Pantene products, especially the relaxed and natural line since I wear my hair curly and straight. I was excited to try the new Nature Fusion line and I was not disappointed! The shampoo is great because it didn’t leave my hair totally stripped of moisture, which I love in a shampoo — my hair needs all the moisture it can get. The conditioner is thick and lathers up really well so you don’t have to use a lot and it left my dry end perfectly smooth.

It’s also easy on the wall with a price point of $4.99, my kinda deal!
