Wrap a loc Take Down

Just to remind you above is the result of freshly washed locks. I was 6 weeks post re tightening and was due.  This picture shows the right side of my hair which was twisted over on itself.

 Left side of my hair with wrap a locs installed.

 Close us shot.  I found the wrap a locs very easy to sleep in especially as they became looser over time.  They left my hair stretched.  I have thin hair so like to wear curls to give my locks body and these wrap a locs did the trick.  I was left with tight, Shirley temple, curls which lasted the whole week through gym work outs and until I washed my hair.

 They were easy to take out, this side shot is after a work out and I had inadvertently rinsed my hair before I remembered I had to post these shots, hence the straighter hair at the back but the curls were still present.

Close up.  Next time I will make sure that I have my re tightening done first so that I can keep them in longer.  I loved the wrap the  loc system as a quick and long lasting, 2 style option for curling my locks.

Hope you enjoyed this and don't forget to comment.  Kittylocks x

As you can see I was not the only one who had my hair styled for the show.  Enter my friend who had a wicked braid style as below:

This is the top of her head, her crown and with hair adornments supplied by Distinctive Darlings by PJ.

These side views show how her own hair was wrapped around each other to create this beautiful look.

Afro Hair and Beauty Show 2011 Part 1

Hi there I was asked by a friend to be a model for the Afro Hair and Beauty Show 2011 held in Islington over the recent bank holiday.  We were supporting one of two natural hair stands at the show courtesy of Ansylla from  http://www.MyHairitage.com which provides holistic hair care.  See here for her picture and her site.

 Of course one cant be seen modelling without the appropriate clothing. Above is PJ from Distinctive Darlings who provided our afrocentric clothing.  Sorry I was too busy to get any pics of me wearing one of her outfits.

 I attended with freshly washed unstyled locks and was given the wrap a lock treatment by Sistah Nandi who is the inventor of this product. see http://www.wrapaloc.com This is me with little make up. I had a great time meeting new people and stayed much later than I had planned and left very tired and hungry as there was no time to eat!

 I don't usually wear a lot of make up as I have very sensitive skin and only wear one brand, Mary Kay.  Enter Curtis make up artist for http://www.dorismichaelscosmetics.com and this was my final look.

I went to work yesterday and today feeling like a Queen and floating.

I got comments like "you have blue eyes", "your hair style really opens up your face", I have to keep staring at you", "that hair takes years off you", "please make sure you wear this style all the time because it really suits you".

I wish I could.  My hair is sheduled to be re tightened on Saturday, 2 days left to wear my hair like this so unfortunately I will have to take them down.

Pics of this will follow.

Enjoy and keep the natural hair growing naturally.

Up do front

This picture shows the front of the up do style. I really liked this look and will do this again but with braids for a tighter curl. Hope you enjoy these pictures. Kittylocks.

Up do

After taking down the twists I loosely pinned up the back and used a hair band to hold up the front to create this style . Kittylocks.

Hair Take down

This is how my hair looked when I took it down. My curls were less defined and looser than when I braid my hair. I don't think that I will do this again as it was a bit more effort in having to twist my hair for this look . Hope you can see this picture as it is a bit dark. Enjoy Kittylocks

Twists

Hi there I love doing my hair in braids and twists when relaxing. I am going to wear these to the gym and sauna tomorrow and will take them out tomorrow night. My hair needs retightening at the moment so it is a bit bushy at the roots enjoy Kittylocks x

Stylish Blogger Award

I have been awarded the stylish blogger award by Anthia ofo, thank you I was pleasantly surprised by this.

So the rules are you must thank the person who gave you the award and then share 7 things about yourself and then link back to the person and of course share the award with others.

So here goes:

1 I have always loved all things natural when it came to hair and wish that I had the information about Sisterlocks(TM) before as I would have had 20 year old locks by now if I knew then what I know now. Wow can you imagine what that would look like?

2 When I left school, I used to be the lead singer in a band named "safita", I am advised that this means freedom, and singing has always played a major role in my life.

3 I love sweets and ice cream but surprisingly I have good teeth lol.

4 I would class my self as a spiritual person as I believe in God and living my life without harming others.

5 I love to dance especially to Salsa and Ballroom and attend the International Ballroom championships every year.

6  I enjoy helping others but even though this gets me in trouble sometimes I will not change the person that I am.

7  My favourite colour is purple.

I now nominate everyone who reads this post

Good luck

Kittylocks xx
