Looking for a great style for a Christmas party or just everyday wear? This flat-twist-out style that Pretty Dimples did could be great.
Hey Ladies. I've taken to makeup quite a bit lately. I don't wear it all the time but I've been doing some research so that I can step up my game face. Here are some essentials when it comes to makeup application.
I still have two rows of twists at the back of my hair. I wanted a change from the bun I've been wearing so I clipped the top and just did a french roll with the leftover hair. The twists were added into the french roll too. This was done on blow-dried hair.
I was just trying something new. I did flat twist at the front as you can see. I added another part just for visual interest. That's the designer in me talking. :) I wasn't extremely excited about this style but...
This hot style is from from Pretty Dimples. Tip - You can use a soft gel for hold. I prefer JAM (not the fruit kind - the one for hair).
This is Kay Kay from Fotki. I saw her with this cute short 'do and immediately thought of all the people who have asked for short hairstyle ideas. I asked her how she did it and this is what she said:
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! I'm just a tourist really - not an American so I don't officially celebrate it but I hope everyone is truly giving thanks. I wish you all a blessed year with many more things to give thanks for.
Sorry about all the wires in the pic. I was rushing out and it was day 2 of this style so I wanted to catch it before it was ruined. This style happened completely by accident. I washed and blow-dried my hair. I did two rows of twists at the back then got bored and impatient. I then did one flat twist at the front and just didn't feel like doing my hair so I plait it in four and just clipped everything up into a bun the next day. This style is the result. I'm learning not to be such a perfectionist with my hair. I'm quite tired of styling it though. SO I think the quick styles are doing it for now. When I visit JA for the holidays I'll get my hair styled a couple of times but I just don't see myself spending more than a 1/2 hour (at most) on styling for a while.
This style took about 5 minutes.

Isn't her style just chic and beautiful. Her Fotki name is CharHair and I found this beautiful style on her page. It's a mix of flat twists and regular twists and it's just beautiful.
She calls herself Pretty Dimples on Fotki and here she is making her fourth appearance on Keep It Kinky. She does all her styles herself. Talk about talented right? Her hair color is beautiful and the style is simple but chic. In case you were wondering, the curls on the top were achieved through doing a twist out.
Well, sometimes it's raining and my hair is kinda damp and in odd finger-parted plaits and I don't have the energy and well... the hat happens. I kinda enjoyed it though and it compliments my glasses.
I parted a bang, twisted the end between my fingers and pinned it to the side. The rest of my hair was up in a pony puff. I think I'll be doing this style for a few days since I have no time to comb my hair for a while. I'll twist my hair in about 8 at night. If I do any other variations, you'll see soon.
I plait my hair in ten to get this style. It took almost two days to dry and I wore a hat when I had to run out of the Apt. I'm smiling in the photo but...
Pretty Dimples is back with yet another Hot Style appearance on Keep It Kinky. She does all her styles herself. Talk about talented right? Her hair color is beautiful and the style is simple but chic. In case you were wondering, the curls on the top were achieved through doing a twist out. Now isn't this lady creative?
So this is about day four of my braid-out. I did a pony puff and side swept bang. Included in the bang was one single thick twist that I added for visual interest. I really enjoyed my messy puff. Who says everything has to be straight and in place all the time.
I did my nails. I've used this color a million times. I'm now bored of it. I've been through at least 5 bottles of this color. It also seems a little outdated but I'm trying not to spend unnecessarily so I'm using what I have.
Twisted bang + front flat twists + french roll in the back = Cute, Professional style.
My hair at the end of the night. It was ridiculously windy and my hair hadn't dried properly. It turned into a big ball of fuzz. I love it! I don't think i've ever worn it this big before! Many more updates to come.

Well, my edges needed to be redone and my hair needed to be washed. I threw on my tam and went on my way.

So for about two hours last night(it's 2:04AM) I got the strongest urge to get locs. I just had this overwhelming feeling of anxiety. My hair is itching and needs to be washed and the thought of detangling and the stress of putting my hair up in plaits and styling just made me ridiculously anxious. I love changing styles but I don't really like stying - especially box braids which take forever now that my hair is getting longer. Honestly, I'm not that good at styling (eg cornrows) either and my styles only look neat for about three days.
Today I'm talking about button-down shirts and blue jeans . That's my favorite outfit and the white shirt is big this season. Wear a bright funky belt or a classic patent belt and colored shoes to set off your outfit. A funky bag can do the job too. No white shirt? Any colored shirt will do... even your boyfriend's. Just belt it for a modern twist.

Remember my braids challenge to do 15 new styles by December? I am now at style 19!
It's a wee bit complicated... but not really. lol.
This is not my usual topic. After having two pairs of glasses break on me in one week I ended up with these. I've been wearing glasses for over 20 years (and never broken a pair) so I'm convinced they just don't make them as strong/well anymore (like a lot of other things). I've NEVER done anything like this before. Pink leopard print? I was afraid they would be too over-the-top but not one of my friends even noticed! Ah well...
