So Saturday this happened: It was a birthday present to myself. I figured if I’m gonna cut all of it off I should keep playing a bit before I do. First the press … now this. Check out the video for the live footage: And now some pixxies for your viewing pleasure. This is what […]
It’s time for the next ole school “Roshini’s hair” type of post. We are picking up from here where I showed what my natural hair looked like after the 2nd wash post-pressing. The texture had definitely loosened up over my entire head so my braidout was bigger and hung more. I actually liked it. First […]
In my last post I showed you all my pressed natural hair after almost a week of wearing it bone straight. Later that same week I decided to add some body by doing a bantu knotout. I must admit, it wasn’t as succefull as I’d like but I’ll share anyway. I used this Urban Therapy […]
Last week I left you all with a “cliff hanger” with my natural hair. I got pressed for the first time at Shi Salon in downtown St. Louis by the owner, Marie Simone. My experience at the salon was enjoyable. The receptionist gave me a tour before my appointment, and a stylist did a quick consultation before I […]
When I was in the Virgin Islands I styled my box braids most days. Unfortunately, my good intentions to take photos of all those styles fell way short. Here are a few shots I did remember to take near the beginning of the trip. The front was flat twisted into a side ponytail in the […]

Remember this post right here? BAM! Review coming soon. Yes, I’m in the bathroom at work.
Join me as I start trying to do kinky twist extensions but end up with big sloppy box braids What you see here is my (failed) attempt to do one kinky twist with synthetic hair that I rod set at the end and dipped in boiled water for 10 seconds: I say “failed” because it was too […]
You know what? These palm rolls turned out to be one of my favorite styles ever! I wore them for about 2 weeks (about a 1.5 pictured here) and stayed getting compliments! My hair was soft and none of the coils unraveled (slackened yes, unraveled no) This is a keeper that will definitely be done […]
A shot of Adima’s new braids. We had to change the front of his hair because it’s very springy and the braids tend to coil up and stick all over the place. We found that by (1) parting down the middle in the front and (2) braiding while dry or almost dry his braids tend […]
