Stretching My 5 Year Old's Natural Hair [Blow-out / Flat Twist-out]


Since cutting my hair again, I've began to focus more on styling than actual growth. My hair would definitely have reached twist-out length by now, but I'm just not really interested in having much length. So what about all of you who have grown with me since day one? Don't fret! I will still have plenty of information, tutorials, product reviews, and more for natural hair of all lengths!

For my naturals with mid-length to long hair, this one's for you:


My daughter St. Charles is always up for making videos, so of course she jumped at the chance to star in her own! Here we share our method for stretching and flat-twisting her natural hair. She is 5 years old and her hair is 100% virgin - it's never been chemically processed, ever. If I had to define her hair type, I'd say she's somewhere in the 3a - 3c category with very tight curls that carry major shrinkage. Because of this, her hair can look a lot shorter than it actually is and people are amazed at the results after I stretch and twist it:



Products Used:


Herbal Essences 'Hello Hydration' Conditioner


Pure African Shea Butter 


Elasta QP's Olive Oil & Mango Butter

After sleeping overnight with her bonnet on, we removed her flat twists and enjoyed the gorgeous results :)










We had so much fun doing this and I hope this helps someone out there! All questions / comments are welcomed below! Thanks for growing with me loves,

[Tutorial]: My 3 Month Natural Twist Out


I finally got the hang of the twist out around 3 months after my Big Chop!If you read my last post, you're probably wondering how I went from finger shingling to twist outs all in the same month... so am I! I just don't know where all this hair came from!

At the time my hair was extremely thick but not quite that long yet, so finding that perfect sized twist was vital for the success of this style...

Of course I had to do a turorial to share with my YouTube subbies (:




Hope this helps someone out there!

[Tutorial]: Finger Shingling my TWA


I've just about reached the 4-month mark on my natural hair journey and I couldn't be more pleased with the way things are going so far...

But let's backtrack a bit. My hair has been growing like a Chia pet, so I've actually had to change hairstyles about twice since my last post. After 3 months, my Combo Wash and Go method was no longer working for me, so I had to begin dabbling in the art of shingling! Lol... Have no clue about what shingling is? Check it out for yourself (=






I shared this video with a few of my co-workers and they all had great results!! I hope this can help someone else (=

[Tutorial]: The Combo Wash and Go



Although I just started this blog, I've already began documenting my natural hair journey via YouTube...

In this video, I share my method for styling my 1 month old Teeny Weeny Afro (from co-wash to finish) using a combination of Eco Styler Olive Oil Gel and World of Curls Activator Gel.


Products Used:
Organic's Olive Oil Deep Conditioner
Creme of Nature Argan Oil Leave-In Conditioner
Eco Styler Olive Oil Gel
World of Curls Activator Gel

Before I decided to go natural I did A LOT of research on styling a TWA. I guess I just wanted to make sure that no matter what my hair texture turned out to be, I would have a method for styling it... I hope this video helps someone else [=
