Sunday Cuteness: BeautifulBrwnBabyDol Pin-Up Tutorial

I've said it before and I'll say it again...I LOVE Beautiful Brown (well that's what my mom and I call her on the low!).
So, I would like to dedicate this Sunday's Cuteness to one of her latest videos where she is giving us the 411 on one of her hair styles- the Natural Hair Side French braid. This is a braided two-strand twist pin-up tutorial that could work for daytime or night, work, school, or a date.

If you've got the skills give it a try. Unfortunately, I generally suck and cornrowing my own hair so I might sub in flat twists for the braids. Enjoy and happy Sunday! :)

My life is drama-less and boring

Nothing's happening, so no updates. Boo!

Almost wish someone would piss me off.

No pictures either coz had nothing interesting to take pictures of.

What's Your Opinion?:Natural Relaxers

Hey everybody! I really like to know what you all think about things so I decided to do a "What's Your Opinion" post every now and again when something comes up and I want to hear what you all think about it. The purpose is not to stir controversy for controversy's sake, only to see what types of though processes are out there on certain natural hair issues. I hope you will take a little time to give your comment and please do so respectfully.

So, I just saw this vid from Curlychronicles a few minutes ago and it felt like something I wanted to hear your opinions about. I have never tried a "relaxer" of any kind since going natural 10 years ago, but I have heard of different methods used to lengthen, silken, elongate, or loosen kinks and coils. If you don't know what these natural relaxers are all about, here are some links I found:
Treasured Locks, safehairrelaxer.com, and you tube vids here(part1) and here (part2).

Some people feel this is wrong and means you are no longer really natural while others feel like it's just hair, doesn't matter, and should not be taken so seriously.

So what do you all think? Do you agree with what she's saying in terms of the "natural relaxers" being a backdoor way of changing the texture without having to feel like you're using a chemical to change your texture? Or, do you think it just enhances manageability and style options?

Nothing to get all huffy about, just thought it was interesting. Would love to hear your thoughts... ~NL

Angled dutch braid

This is really easy to do it's just a dutch braid I started on the left side and angled it to over to the right side, sorry no step by step pictures, I didn't think about it till I was already done. if ya need a refresher for the braid click here Dutch braid.

I braided till it was just behind her right ear, then I secured it with an elastic, curled the ends and added a bow it's that simple. It took me about 10 mins to do.

Ryne had some hair that wasn't quite long enough to go in the braid so I just left it out and curled it. You can pull it to the side and combine with the braid.

I just learned to make this bow and I have to say it is my favorite (at least at the moment).

Another shot from the front. This is her " hurry mom take the picture we are going to miss the bus." smile.
