Much natural love!

Natalie Gumede’s Show Dance with Natural Hair
My natural hair crush didn’t officially win Strictly Come Dancing but in my eyes she (and her natural hair) was the true winner 🙂

Natalie Gumede & Artem’s Salsa and Argentine Tango
I’m so happy that Natalie Gumede and her partner Artem Chigvinstev have made it to the Strictly Come Dancing final. Yay! And she did it all with her gorgeous natural hair. Last week Natalie received a perfect score of 40 from the judges for her sexy salsa, which she danced to Michael Jackson’s ‘Wanna be… Continue reading Natalie Gumede & Artem’s Salsa and Argentine Tango

Back to my Flat-Twist Up-do
I’ve had fun playing with my Curlformers these past few weeks, but they are time consuming and very uncomfortable to sleep in despite what some people may say. So what to do? A flat twist up-do of course! I want my hair to be out of sight and out of mind for a week… Continue reading Back to my Flat-Twist Up-do

Everyday Natural Hair Up-do
This is a favourite up-do style which I wore this week. It consists of a French Roll at the back, two flat twists at the sides and a mini pompadour at the front. I blow-dried my hair to create this style but I made sure to use A LOT of heat-protectant beforehand. It’s perfect if… Continue reading Everyday Natural Hair Up-do

Jumbo Flat Twists on Stretched Natural Hair
Well my Up-do style on Curlformers-stretched hair barely lasted one day. I knew this would be the case as the style was just too loose for my short hair, but I was in a hurry for work. No big deal. I just did a swirly part down the middle, grabbed some coconut oil and created… Continue reading Jumbo Flat Twists on Stretched Natural Hair

Weekly Up-do on Curlformer-Stretched Natural Hair
Another week, another up-do. My Curlformers are getting a good work-out these days. They are the ultimate tool for heat and chemical-free ‘straight’ hair 🙂 I did this style in a hurry so it’s not as neat as I would have liked. This was meant to be a French Braid but I’m still not… Continue reading Weekly Up-do on Curlformer-Stretched Natural Hair

Protective Style Natural Hair Up-do
It’s getting too cold for me to bear my scalp with a flat twist up-do so this is the next best thing. I will wear this style for work for the whole of this week. The forecasters have predicted snow this week so I will be wearing my hat with a silk scarf underneath. 🙂

Natalie Gumede & Artem’s Charleston to ‘Bang Bang’
My Natalie Gumede obsession is alive and well. In last Saturday’s episode of Strictly Come Dancing Natalie and Artem danced a Charleston to Will.i.am’s ‘Bang Bang’. I wasn’t sure if the song would work but it does. It’s very addictive! The live singers sang it brilliantly and deserve much credit. It was also good to… Continue reading Natalie Gumede & Artem’s Charleston to ‘Bang Bang’

12 Months of Protective Styles on Natural Hair
I’ve been blogging since November 2012 so to mark this milestone I created this gallery of my favourite styles from the past year 🙂 As you may have observed I’m a big fan of flat-twists and up-dos. This is because they ‘tame’ my locks, look stylish and do not require the use of heat and… Continue reading 12 Months of Protective Styles on Natural Hair
