How To Achieve Your Unique Style with Motions! #UrsulaforMotions

 

(Me flexing on Instagram.....)

I've been natural for 3.5 years now & I must say...I'm loving the journey. I started out with a TWA(teeny weeny afro) & then it grew to mid-length & now I'm #taperlicious. LOL, that's just one of my terms for having a tapered cut. I've been rocking with the tapered cut since Jan/Feb 2013. So I've had this cut for 1.5 years. I love it so & I think I've discovered my signature style with this cut. It's big, bold & it's ME. Growing my hair out? That just depends on what day you ask me. Sometimes I want to, but I can't keep the scissors out of my hands. There will be no length progress if I have anything to do with it, lol! The #taperedcut is my undoubtedly my signature style. I've partnered with Motions to help you discover your own unique style. Whether you're natural or relaxed, etc. We all have our own style that is different from anyone else. It's one of the things that makes you YOU.

Small confession: Even though I love my tapered cut, I have a slight obsession with bobs! There's just something about a healthy, bouncy bob that makes me happy. If I ever do grow my hair out, a bob would definitely be my next hairstyle. I'm such a short #hairgurl now, lol. If you love bobs too, check out these how-to videos from celebrity hairstyling expert Ursula Stephen where she shows you how to achieve your unique style with a glam bob & a blunt bang.

And Motions is also having some great sales going on at Walgreens for September! Kits are 25% off & select Motions products are on sale for just $3.49. I'll be definitely stopping by soon to try out the Motions Define My Curls Crème. I've been eyeballing it for awhile now & this sale is the extra push I needed. If you love Motions products, let me know in the comments. Which ones are your fave? And what's YOUR unique style? Until next time ladies. :-)

1st Time Flat Ironing My Natural Hair!

Tired face...

I'm late posting this, but if you follow me on Twitter you've already seen pics of my newly flat ironed hair! This past Friday, I flat ironed my hair in lieu of celebrating me being 8 months natural. :D I told ya'll last week that I was gonna do it...and I did! :D Boy, that was the longest night ever. I was so tired. I didn't start prepping my hair until 12:30-1am (was waiting for Khlo-Child to go to sleep) I ended up finishing around 4am (i think). I don't know if you ladies can tell, but the ends of my hair were anything BUT straight. Chile....I really should've watched a few YouTube videos on how to effectively straighten natural hair ends. It is NOT as easy as relaxed hair I'll tell you!

 the edges felt wonderful & so smooth! As you can see my hair is around the length it was when I started my hair care journey.

Here's the breakdown:

1. Clarified my hair with VO5 Herbal Escapes Clarifying Shampoo

Clarifying made my scalp feel WONDERFUL! It's been way too long since I last clarified. It's great to do this before a flat iron session because it removes product buildup from the scalp & hair. Perfect for creating light, bouncy hair! :-)

2. Dc'ed with Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner for about 2 hours. ( won a gift set back in April...)

3. Applied Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea Restructurizer & Garnier Fructis Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk. I realize now that I should have applied either more of the Smoothing Milk or added an extra product. The Smoothing Milk gave my hair a silky feeling though.

4. Sectioned off the hair & began flat ironing with the GHD. Love this flat iron!!! Don't think I can say that enough! Remember my review?? I've written about this flat iron several times. It was just as amazing on my natural hair & made my hair feel so silky. Had I used the comb-chase method, I'm confident the entire length of my hair would have felt just as great.

 After I was done flat ironing, I didn't wrap my hair. It was just too thick & the ends were curly so the wrap wouldn't have been that effective anyway. I simply wrapped my scarf around my hair & finally went to sleep. I took a shower the next day & the somewhat straight hair I had became extinct. LOL

Will show you guys the style I came up w/ in the next post!!! Very easy to do!
For a next peek of the style visit the Facebook page...It's the hairstyle in my profile pic. ;-) There's also some on Twitter...

Make sure you are following me on Twitter & Facebook for more of my ramblings about hair and anything else I want to talk about. :-) 

Check out the GHD Precious Gift Set!

Sorry for my week long absence! Missed you guys....But you already know I have had serious hand-in-hair disease thanks to my relaxer last week. Ha!

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, then you know I recently received the GHD Precious Limited Edition Gift Set to review! Ya'll I was extremely excited when I got the package because I've been hearing about this flat iron for sooooooo long....ever since I began my hair care adventure to be exact. It was just to rich for my blood though. lol This is supposed to be one of the best flat irons out. :-)

I didn't want to open this...that's how pretty it was!

The daily conditioning spray and the heat protectant Look at the design! How chic is that?

The official review is coming up and I can't wait to try this flat iron. :D

Note: The team over at GHD sent me this flat iron free of charge. I'm not receiving any compensation for this. My review will be based on my honest opinion of the flat iron. Thank you
