It is no secret that my favorite natural hair style to date is the twist out because of its versatility and longevity.  I am always trying to find new ways to style a twist out, whether its fresh or a few days old.  My favorite characteristic of a twist out is its ability to elongate my hair.  The twist out that I am about to share with you gave me the most stretching I have experienced to date!!  My hair looked closer to its true length and it was super defined. Before doing this twist out, I used the LOC (liquid, oil, cream) Method to ensure  that my hair retained the oils and moisture that I put in it.  Check out the video below to see how I achieved this look.

There's nothing worse than being short on time right before you have somewhere to be.  Natural hairstyles require time.  You're not going to get a twist out done in under an hour.  (If you can, please show me how! lol).  With that being said, it is always good to have some quick, but cute styles under your belt for those times when you still want to look want to make your hair look nice, but as quickly as possible. Check out the video tutorial for this quick freaux-hawk done on a wash and go.  After co-washing my hair, this style took under 15 minutes to do!!

Everybody knows my absolute favorite natural hair style is a twist out because of its great curl definition and versatility.  As much as I love twist outs, I decided to try something new and was pleasantly surprised!  Bantu knots  gave me exceptional curl definition as well as a totally different look that I love.  The curls were tighter and just as easy, if not easier,  to maintain overnight (don't tell my twist outs I said that lol).  To maintain this style, I bantu knotted my hair in large sections using a little water in a spray bottle overnight and was able to wear my bantu knot out for five days!  This is definitely a hair style that I will add to my arsenal. Very cute!
