4C Top Knot Bun WITHOUT The Sock
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdRDS439LXUTo create this top knot bun, it’s best to begin with dry, slightly stretched out hair.

The Fluffiest Twistout Tutorial on Type 4 Hair
In this tutorial, not only am I teaching how to create a fluffy twistout on type 4 natural hair, I'm also teaching how to style an updo with bangs.

Valentine’s Day Get Ready With Me (Short Film)
Valentine’s Day is approaching so I’ve decided to present a full “Get Ready With Me” short film taking your through my makeup, hair, and outfit for this special occasion.

I don’t typically do makeup tutorials, but I thought it would be fun and interesting to do it in a way that told a story and revealed a little bit about myself. I hope my storytelling resonates with you and that you can take my ideas into a wonderful Valentine’s Day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srLI6BxMf8s…

I feel the most beautiful I have ever felt with my natural texture and I will continue to enjoy the multitude of things I can do with my hair.

Yes, it will continue to drive me crazy the longer it gets when I need to detangle. Ugh! But it comes with the territory. I'm taking the good with…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGYJ3Kf9miIIn the video above, I've walked you through the whole process of achieving this flawless twist-out. However, in case you wanted a closer look, I've uploaded separate videos just for you below.The twist-out. Many of us go YEARS without finding the product that will make the time we put into twisting our hair worth the while. For example, I toil over my hair for, sometimes, hours of styling, but when I walk outside--POOF! All of my definition is lost, my hair shrinks and draws up, and it looks like I didn't put much effort into it at all. And sure, your…
