My favorite natural sista youtubbers

Ok guys I know I haven't posted in a while...been lazy...really haven't changed or brought anything new just working with what I had. I have brought two funky scarfs from the dollar star one pink one blackn white in crazy prints. I also bought two knee highs in the hopes of turning them into another kind of headband. Eventually I will load pics of the accessories. I've also been trying to work on bringing in some other subjects besides hair into my blog. There are other things/hobbies of mine besides my hair lol. Rather then have several sparate blogs I decided to put them all together (maybe on separate pages). But in the meantime I'd like to check out some of my youtube sisters that inspire me and please subscribe  because they are way more knowlable about natural hair (and how to do youtubes) lol..now some of these sisters also do wigs but its another protective style so I don't hate on wigs or girl who wear them...I'm just not into it myself ...so check out these sisters and please let them know I (nikkied76 on youtube) sent you!

my inspiration

don't really have a lot to blog on...being just lazy I haven't really bothered doing much to my hair think I might just get it braided/twisted or just cut it short for my bday next month...I beleive its tangling  because of split ends and damage dispite me cutting a lot off. So I'll have to get it taken care of. In the mean time check out this interview with Chrisette Michelle via Necole Bitchie its old but maybe its new to you http://necolebitchie.com/2010/04/13/chrisette-michelle-goes-natural/#more-68622

the current state

I know its been a minute since I last posted sorry bout that. But I'm loving the state my hair is in right now except it seems to get tangeled and knotted a lot. I sleep on a satin pillow and try to always wear my cap I admit sometmes I forget though but I always use a satin pillowcase it not terrible but slightly anoying. I been wearing the poof for a couple of weeks now I try to twist it aleast once a week but for the most its wash and go lol just being lazy bout it.  I either do a quick cowash with a lil conditionier in the shower or just wet it down and go thru my usual rotine of shea moisture, oil, and I add a lil gel (eiter curlz or eco styler). I want to change it up but  I'm torn between getting it cut at a salon or just putting in short braids for the summer...sigh

more stuff :)

becoming a product junkie as I am still on the search for what works and doesn't work. Made a nice shea moisture mix (used coconut oil, grapeseed oil, and ovil oil all brought at Giant!) I also added a lil of my essential oil mix I've been using for a while now which is a mix of oilve, sweet almond, and castor oil. In other news I got complimented on the afro puff which is crazy since a I haven't cowashed all week and my twist was from the weekend before. I love the definition I am getting now and sis is quite jellie lol.

quick update: Bantu knot experiment

tried bantu knots and used the mango cholesterol I brought from Sally's. First I washed with my aphogee then I sectioned my hair applied the cholesterol along with some oil and used it as de-tangeler. I used my fingers and my Tangle Teaser and detangled. Then I twisted the sections. After that I wrap the twist around my finger then secured with pins. After I was done wrapped it with a big scarf. This morning when I took my shower I just rinsed my hair (pins out of course). Then wrapped it back up in my mirotowel to air dry..I want to try this again as this is experiment especially using the cholesterol and the last part. I also rushed it cause it was supa late lol..if you want to try bantu knots just search on youtube, I watched Naptual85's tutorial (She's also on my blog roll.) or SimplyUnique (who's closer to my length). You can make these any size. I'll let you know how it comes out tomorrow.
