Spirals Revealed

I thought I'd show you all what they looked like, the curls after I took them out of the spiral set and separated each spiral. Nice, I liked the effect.  When you can, follow my channel on You Tube. Hope you enjoy this clip

Spiral Set on my Sister locks

I finally figured out how to convert my Windows Live Movie file into a movie file that is compatible to upload to You Tube. This is the most recent video. Stay tuned more to come or check out                              http://www.youtube.com/nzingae1 for viewing my videos.

 I wore a spiral set to work last week and I think I can still get some mileage out of this style in this coming week. :)

 

So Please let me know what you think.

Second Locversary !!!!!!!!

Hi

I was really excited about getting my videos uploaded to the site to coincide with my locversary but due to some glitches with the technology i.e I didn't know how to do it, I was alone and really wanted to get it done correctly so I did have to wait on family members to assist which means that the help was not always available etc.etc
I hope you enjoy my videos.
 I also wish to announce that I have a you tube channel.http://www.youtube/Nzingae1
So visit me and leave a comment. I'm new at this so please be patient. :) Here's a recent photo

Two Years Locked 

I was thinking that it would be neat to improve on the pipe cleaner so as to minimize the amount of lint /fur/fuzz which would be left in your hair from the pipe cleaner so this is what I did. Hope you like. If you have any questions, write and let me know.

Enjoy it and let me know what you think

Interesting stages to Accepting our Hair

Hi everybody,
I was just browsing through some sites and came across this video post on Nappturality Hair Styles on Facebook and I wish to share it with you . Watch and enjoy. I'd say Amen to that....cuz it's soooo True.

Let me know what you think about it. Remember: "Wear Your Natural Hair With Style"

Sprial Set

Hi,
I want to try a spiral set within the next few days. Here's the thing. I am ANTI-LINT anything that will leave residue or a buildup of any kind as much as is possible I'll avoid it so I got to thinking about the much talked about pipe cleaners. From checking on You Tube and various blogs I've noticed that lots of people use the pipe cleaner and it gives a really lovely set. The down side is that there is lint/bits of fuzz from the pipe cleaner left in the locks after use. I decided to cover the pipe cleaners with some masking tape to cover the fuzz. I'll try it and then keep you posted on the results. Will be sure to post some pix of the whole process. I'll be back :)

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Hair Care Regime

I just wanted to share with you guys my regime for my hair care and a few other lessons, I've learnt along the way. I drink lots of water in order to moisturize inside and out. I consciously have to work on that daily.
I wash my hair every seven to ten days. I wash with a clarifying shampoo from VO5 called Kiwi Lime.  I dilute it one part to two parts water, so I don't encourage buildup of product in my hair. My first wash is with clarifying shampoo and my second wash is with a moisturizing shampoo called L'Oreal Ever Pure Moisture Shampoo, which by the way is Sulphate Free . After washing I always dry my hair with a shamois, it collects the moisture but gives no lint (Yeah). Next I apply some Tallijah Waajid Mist Bodifier and set in curl rods. I usually let it  stay overnight or longer to give me a good set. I apply Tui Oil from Carol's Daughter to my scalp and if I discover any dry scalp I apply Rosemary and Glycerin Astringent.

I've learnt along the way:

• Always protect my hair as much as possible, by covering my head in a satin night cap, in order to prevent lint buildup since it's the number enemy of locks.
• Massage the scalp daily or at least several times per week because it encourages the scalp to release its natural oils and it feels good.
• Wearing locks is a process that is dynamic so there's no need to obsess too much about the little issues which you will encounter, cause there are answers out there online ( Youtube or Hair groups), from your consultant or locktician.
• Confidence will build as you continue in the process, there are always persons that you will encounter who like your hair, and really are genuinely fascinated by it or at worse those who are curious and just want to stare at your locks.
• Last but not least Be Patient
