[Tutorial] Mini Twist High Bun

I have protective-style-phobia. #Ijustmadethatwordup Feel free to judge me. But it's true. I gush about all kinds of braids and twists. Box braids, Marley twists, Senegalese twists, Crochet braids. You name it, I lust for it. I pin hundreds of styles on Pinterest, I even encourage others to get them. Will you see me in the braiding chair? Probably not. I'm just wack like that. I can't commit to long term protective styles to save my life and I'll whine about every expect of the process. Installation takes too long. Removal is too difficult. What if I get bored. Aren't they heavy? Who gonna help me wash these thangs? What about my edges, y'all? <insert eyeroll> I told you I was wack. In all honesty, I just love having complete access to my hair.

I adore the look but not enough to commit. Enter, my mini twist high bun. Part faux twist. Part ultra cool protective style. So simple that a very stylish sassy and sophisticated cave woman could do it. The steps are easy peasy. But first, order in takeout and cue up your DVR, its going to take at least an hour or two. Here's how I did mine:

1. Starting with detangled, moisturized, and sealed hair, section into 1/4"-1/2" squares.
2. Twist hair from tip to ends. Repeat a gazillion times. (Exaggeration. Maybe just a million)
3. Once all of your hair is twisted pull up into a high pony then wrap the ends around into a bun.
4. Secure flyaways with bobby pins. (You'll need a lot of pins!)

Will mini twists cure my braid fever? Probably not. But it's a start!

Besitos!

What To Eat Before Your Workout | #FitnessFriday

It never fails. It's a hour or so before I'm about to hit the gym or go for a run and my stomach screams FEED ME! When I ignore it---half way through my workout, I feel lightheaded and weak. My form suffers, I loose focus, and a lot of times I'll pig out afterwards which completely defeats the purpose of exercising! When I give in and have a snack---halfway through my workout I get stomach cramps and feel nauseous. I just can't win!

I mentioned my dilemma to the trainer at my gym and he told me that not eating before workouts actually causes more harm to my body. He noted that exercising on an empty stomach can break down muscle tissue instead of building it up. Instead of using your recent meal to fuel your workout, the body will use muscle tissue. Your metabolism will suck plus I noticed that when I'm bothered by my tummy I'm less focused on my form. No bueno. He suggested a couple pre-workout snacks to have at least an hour before working out that won't cause nauseousness when I run, are healthy, and super easy:

Coffee + Greek Yogurt
Because I'm a morning person, I typically don't take my coffee until a few hours before my afternoon workout. Surprisingly, researchers have found that coffee improves circulation, reduces muscle pain, increases memory, and helps you push harder. Be cautioned---don't overdo the caffeine and keep it as healthy as possible. I love my coffee with almond milk and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice mix instead of cream and sugar. Paired with a cup of protein rich Greek yogurt keeps my pre-workout snack light but filling.

Apple + Cheese
Apples are relatively cheap, totally in season right now, and prep-less. Wash it well and eat. I mean, does it get any more simple than that? I love love love my apples with a few mozzarella and cheddar cheese cubes. Cheese is high protein and low carb.

Oatmeal + Fresh Fruit
Oats are super easy for your body to quickly digest and provide fuel for your workout. Plus it has a ton of Fiber, fiber, fiber! Which most women don't get enough to begin with---plus it keeps you feeling full longer. Fresh fruit like blueberries are high in antioxidants and nutrients like vitamin C and E but low in calories. Win. Win.

What's your favorite pre-workout snack?

Besitos!

[Hairstyle] Perm Rod | #WashDayExperience

This week's #washdayexperience is all about smooth and sleek roller sets! I bet you're thinking..."what-the-whaty KLP don't do roller sets!" And...well, you're right. I don't. #1 I suck at them. I know and understand my limitations. #2 The thought of sitting under the dryer forever and a day makes me want to bang my head up against a wall. #3 I'm about half way unpacked---but I've yet to find my hooded dryer anyway. I think that's a sign. Anywhos, since last week's perm rod set was pretty successful, I gave it another try. Here's how it went:

1. Extreme deep condition- I fully detangled my hair then applied Matrix Biolage Hydrasource Conditioner to my roots and Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe to my ends. Then I massaged my stands with extra virgin coconut oil, covered with a plastic cap and let sit for a few hours.
2. Tea Rinse- using 2 green tea bags steeped in 2 cups of water + 2 tbsp of glycerin.
3. Smoothing Treatment- with a large dollop of Matrix Biolage Detangling Solution.
4. Air Dried- I applied a bit of Chi Silk Infusion to 80-85% wrapped in a cotton t-shirt.
5. Leave ins-I used Jessicurl Too Shea Extra Moisturizing Conditioner to moisturize, extra virgin coconut oil to seal, then set my hair on about 20 orange perm rods and left in overnight

The Method Behind the Madness:
Protein Layering-
I love protein layering because it gives my ends a boost of strength and my roots a slap of moisture. I'd gotten away from protein layering for a few weeks now, but I noticed more breakage than I was comfortable with over the last week. So, fingers crossed that this wash day nipped it in the bud. I do kinda wonder if this is my hair's way of saying that I need to pick a texture and roll with it. I mean is it even realistic to be able to prevent major breakage at the line of demarcation for 64 weeks and counting? Hmmm....

 
My Perm Rod Sets-
I loved my perm rod set last week, but this one is even better! I did a couple of things differently and broke a bunch of the setting rules in the process. First, I set on damp hair instead of soaking wet hair. Look y'all---my hair hates wet detangling. I know, I know, I know---to get the smoothest longest lasting results you should totally set your hair soaking wet. *Kanye shrug* I just can't get with it. I want smooth hair but not at the cost of crazy breakage. Second, I used my usual creamy leave in. You're supposed to go with a lighter leave in for happy bouncing curls but...see what had happened was. Well. I don't have an excuse for this. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Jessicurl Too Shea. So I used it very sparingly. Third, I still sealed. Last week, I noticed that my hair didn't retain it's wash day moisture for as long as it usually does. I think that sealing will resolve that. Even with breaking all the dang on rules, I was able to get frizz free smooth curls with stretched roots. Hmph. It just goes to show that you have to do what you think is best for your hair. Plus, some rules are meant to be broken. I totally forgot to use my Good Hair Is...Resilient Styling Foam *Argh* to give the curls a little more hold. I guess that there's always next time!

Too bad when I woke up this morning it was raining. #epicfail. I threw on a hat and kept it moving. In a few hours, I'm sure that I'll look like a wet poodle. Sometimes I'm convinced that the universe is out to get my hair! 

How did your #washdayexperience treat you?
Besitos!

[Review*] [Giveaway] #GoodHairIs | Good Hair In A Bottle

What is good hair to you?

Last week, someone (I won't name no names) told me that my hair was MBL because I had "good hair." Stop. Flag on the play. Rewind. Good Hair? Cue the heavy eye roll, hand on hip, no that heifa didn't curly hair flip. I absolutely despise when I hear that phase perpetuated. Everyone. Abso-friggin-lutely EVERYONE on the face of this planet has good hair. The hair that grows out of your scalp is good. Wait. Scratch that. It's GREAT. Do what you want to it. Let it grow. Cut it short. Loc it up. Flaunt your curls. Straighten it out. It's your hair. It's your choice. Just keep on loving yo GOOD HAIR. The folks over at Good Hair Salon understand this. They embrace it. They live, breathe, sleep it. They've even created a line of products based on this philosophy and specially formulated to allow you to style your good hair anyway you choose. Let's meet Good Hair In A Bottle:

Good Hair Is...Clean (Shampoo)
If you're looking for a super sudsy sulfate free shampoo, then this is the one for you. The scent is light, the consistency is super slippy, and this shampoo's formula cleanses without stripping your hair. I wouldn't consider this poo to be clarifying, nor do I think that it's super moisturizing. Its some where in between. I guess you'd call that balanced. Although, I'm not that big of a shampoo fan, but I could see myself using this again. 

Good Hair Is...Nourished (Conditioner)
It's not a secret that I'm a conditioner snob. You get one chance to wow me. You have to be as good as or better than my current faves or you will not be invited to the #washdayexperience again. This conditioner is not only multi-functional (it's a deep conditioner, leave in conditioner, and co-wash all in ONE bottle) but it has some of the most amazing slip that a girl could ask for. And don't be scared if you rinse it but don't feel the difference straight away. Just let your hair dry and you;ll feel the softness. I liked it the best as a co-wash. I thought that letting it sink in with a little heat would make the results even better---but this conditioner doesn't need the extra time. Oh and I quick note for naturally curly chicas---if you struggle with getting your curl pattern just right, you'll enjoy this conditioner. It made my 6-7 inches of super curly roots spring up like nobody's business!

Good Hair Is...Resilient (Styling Foam)
Honestly, I had no clue where I'd integrate this styling foam into my regimen. I mean...real talk...have you ever even seen me talk about a styling foam before? Ha-ha. That's when I read the label and realized that this was the solution for preventing a curly set from drooping with the wind and frizzing from humidity.Expect to see it make a come back when I do more perm and flexi rod sets in the near future. If you're protein senstitve check out the label on this one. There are a a lot of proteins (like Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Wheat Starch, Hydrolyzed Corn Protein, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein PG­Propyl Silanetriol, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/PVP Crosspolymer, Keratin Wowsers right?!?) floating in this one.

My suggestions for use:
Once/twice a month- lather up for a cleansing shampoo.
Weekly- grab the conditioner for a co-wash
Bi weekly- use the styling foam to set (and you can set on dry hair too) your braid outs, flexi spirals, perm rod curls, roller set or twist out.

I bet that you're itching to try this one now huh? No worries. We gotcha covered. Three lucky chicas have a chance to win their very own Good Hair Is gift package. You've gotta week to enter daily!

Buena suerte chicas!

The Best Co-Washing Conditioner Under $10

The votes are in. They've been tallied. The products have been reviewed. Today it's (finally) time to give one lucky co-washing conditioner the SavingOurStrands stamp of approval. I know that you guys have got to be sick with product reviews and just want to know who the winner is already! But first, I'll recap how all four contenders stacked up against each other:

Hydration:
Breakage is my arch enemy right now. I have a protein rich regimen that I *fingers crossed* hope is warding off breakage. But it also requires a good amount of moisture to keep my hair balanced. When I co-wash, I'm longing for my roots to quickly absorb the conditioner then when all is said and done dry soft, fluffy, and clump free. (read: become more elastic) and the straighter sections are sleeker (read: become more smooth). 

Winners: Aussie 3 Minute Miracle & Herbal Essences Hello Hydration 

Cleansing:
I hate a conditioner that leaves a residue. Especially a conditioner that I'm using to co-wash. My scalp has to feel clean and sweat-free without stripped rough roots or straw-like ends. I mean--that's what I have shampoo for right? Ha-ha!

Winner: OGX Argan Oil of Morocco

Detangling:
I detangle my hair pre-wash and I don't think that it's too much to expect it to stay detangled through the wash process. I need slip, slip, and more slip to keep tangles from wreaking havoc on my hair.

Winner: Herbal Essences Hello Hydration 

Price:  
I have a lot of hair and I'm heavy handed so co-washing can get a little expensive if you don't shop smart. The winner in this category gave me the best price per ounce.
Winner: Tresemme Naturals Nourishing ($.20/oz)

So who won the war? Drum roll please!!!!

AUSSIE 3 MINUTE MIRACLE
The battle could have gone either way depending on what you feel like your hair needs on a particular day. Aussie edged out the competition because usually I want a super dose of moisture, some crazy cool slip, and packaging that's very easy to use. Aussie is the only conditioner on the list to tick off all three boxes. But when my hair feels more dirty than dry, I look to Tresemme Naturals Nourishing. Or when I need a little strengthening power, I grab OGX Argan Oil of Morocco. If slip is all I need, Herbal Essences Hello Hydration is my go to. Nonetheless, all four of these contenders are pretty great and I'll definitely repurchase each one.  

Man, this was definitely a fun process. I wonder what my next battle will be...

Besitos!

[Review] Tresemme Naturals Nourishing

Price: Under $10

Purchased at: Any national retailer or online

Promises: This silicone-free conditioner is hypoallergenic, dye-free, safe for colored hair and is infused with Aloe Vera and Avocado extracts, delivering softness, strength and shine. The Effect: Hair that's hair 10X stronger--after just one use.* This natural conditioner can protect all hair types from damage and breakage. Recommended for all hair types, dry hair, curly hair, or color treated hair.

Ingredients:
Water , Cetearyl Alcohol , Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine , Behentrimonium Chloride , Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil , Brassica Campestris/Aleurites Fordi Oil Copolymer , Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract , Fragrance , Dipropylene Glycol , Potassium Chloride , Lactic Acid , Disodium EDTA , DMDM Hydantoin , PEG 150 Distearate , Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride , Lauroyl Lysine , Methylchloroisothiazolinone , Methylisothiazolinone  

My Thoughts: 
Of all of the co-washing conditioners that I use, this one gets my hair the cleanest. I like using it after especially sweaty workouts or when I feel like my hair has more buildup than usual. The only trade off is that I don't get that super moisturized conditioned feeling that I love. The scent is light---doesn't linger---and isn't very memorable at all. But, what I love most about this conditioner is how well it absorbs into my hair. After leaving it on for a few minutes my hair feels light, fluffy and clump free. If you are a curly girl---that might not be a good thing. If your stretching your relaxer or transitioning, it's amazeballs! Clumped curls=more detanlging time. Which makes me want to grab the scissors! A lot of folks love that this one doesn't have silicones in it but did y'all notice all that other weird stuff that we can't pronounce? LOL.

How does this conditioner work as a co-wash for you?

[Hairstyle] Perm Rods | #WashDayExperience

I was totally in love with my hair from last week! After the first day, I pulled it all up into a high bun and there it stayed until today's wash day. Surprisingly, my hair was still uber moisturized and relatively tangle free. Gosh...my love for bantu knot curls will probably never end!

This week's #washdayexperience was all about achieving smooth hair. To me, smooth hair is tangle free, a bit fluffy, and stretched. I decided to give my Good Hair Is...Nourished conditioner another test run. Here's how my wash day went:

1. Extreme deep condition- I fully detangled my hair then applied Good Hair In A Bottle Nourished Conditioner on the length of my hair. Then I massaged my stands with extra virgin coconut oil, covered with a plastic cap and let sit for a few hours.
2. Tea Rinse- using 2 green tea bags steeped in 2 cups of water + 2 tbsp of glycerin.
3. Smoothing Treatment- with a large dollop of Matrix Biolage Detangling Solution.
4. Air Dried- I applied a bit of Chi Silk Infusion to 80-85% wrapped in a cotton t-shirt.
5. Leave ins- I turned the Good Hair In A Bottle Nourished (deep) Conditioner into a leave-in conditioner by diluting it 3 parts water to 1 part conditioner. Then I applied some Good Hair Is Resilent Styling Foam and set my hair on perm rods overnight. 

The Results: 
Fluffy, oh so smooth, completely tangle/snag free, curls! My hair feels light as a feather and super super duper curly. My roots are nicely stretched so I don't anticipate having  problems detangling next week. 

I plan on sharing a full review of the Good Hair In A Bottle products in a few days, but for now I'll say that the slip from this conditioner is pretty amazeballs. When I first apply it, it sort of sits on top of my strands for a few minutes then my hair absorbs it like no body's business. My hair feels extremely soft after application. Then something strange happens, when I go to rinse---I loose some of that soft feeling. But once my hair is completely dry---its super soft again. Totally strange right! Has this ever happened to you before?

Anywhos, I'll choose perm rods over flexis all day everyyy day for sleeping in! But I can't lie---the installation process is just as tedious to me and it took me about 1.5 hrs. Versus the 20-30 minutes that it takes for me to whip my hair into bantu knots---yeah...bantu knots win again. Ha-ha! 

How did you get your hair smooth this #washdayexperience?

[Review] OGX Argan Oil of Morocco

Price: Under $10

Purchased at: Any national retailer or online

Promises: A unique, precious blend of Moroccan argan oil which instantly penetrates the hair shaft restoring shine and softens while strengthening and creating soft, seductive, silky perfection. 

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Behentrimonium Chloride, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycol Stearate, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, Parfum, Argania Spinoza (Argan) Oil, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa Butter) Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Leaf) Extract, Panthenol, Tetrasodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Red 40, Yellow 5

My Thoughts: I haven't met an OGX, formerly Organix, product that I haven't liked. The Renewing Argan Oil of Morocco Conditioner is no exception. It gives my hair the perfect hint of moisture during a co-wash and has a pretty good amount of slip. It contains a few of my fave ingredients: coconut oil, glycerin, behentrimonium chloride, and argan oil. Plus the scent is fabulous and the consistency is rich. My hair easily absorbs the conditioner, so a little goes a long way. I've used this one as a deep conditioner as well in the past with decent results. It's no Jessicurl Deep Treatment or Matrix Hydrasource so it remains in the co-wash conditioner bin. Did I mention that the price is very right, honey? Under $10---you can't beat that!

How does this conditioner work as a co-wash for you?

[Review] Aussie 3 Minute Miracle

Price: $3-4

Availability: Pretty much everywhere

Promises:  Deeply intense conditioning, accented with Australian aloe, penetrates dry or damaged hair. Radiant hair in one use. Sure, it's really deep and super intense. But moist 3 minute miracle, accented with natural Australian aloe and jojoba oil, has a playful side too. Like that time it ran backwards around the office in a kangaroo outfit. Add some roo to your do.

Ingredients: Water, Stearyl Alcohol, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Dimethicone, Ecklonia Radiata Extract, Australian Sea Kelp, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Glutamic Acid, Fragrance, Benzyl Alcohol, EDTA , Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone

My Thoughts: 
The tropical "coconutty" scent of this conditioner is pretty gosh darn amazeballs. Calgon take me away amazeballs. The girl behind me in Spin class smelled it in my hair and distinctively knew what conditioner it was amazeballs. The consistency is the thickest amongst the other conditioners in the battle but my hair absorbs it really well and it rinses cleanly leaving me with easily detangled, smooth, un-clumped (think fluffy instead of curly) roots and re-moisturized hair. I think that the packaging is very unique; the product is dispensed from the bottom of the tube when you squeeze it. None of that struggling to flip the bottle upside down mess here! I love this because it makes application really easy in the shower. Although it's marketed as a deep conditioner, for my hair, it's just doesn't have enough "umph" to be a true deep conditioner but as a co-wash? Ohhh yeah! The biggest downside is how tiny the bottle is! I only get 3-4 uses per bottle but at $3, it's hard to complain! The ingredients are a little sketchy at first glance and you might find yourself needed to clarify a little more often. 

Have you used this one before? Does your hair like it as a deep conditioner or a co-wash?

Besitos!

[Hairstyle] Curly High Bun (Bantu Knots) | The #WashDayExperience

Soooo, I thought that I could out run a storm. No seriously. Running is my preferred method of exercise, but it's the rainy season in my new part of the world and EVERY SINGLE TIME that I get outside to run---it rains. Because I'm a loser/glutton for punishment/crazy girl---I refuse to stop running. I'm gonna sweat anyway right?! And of course that means that I keep getting drenched. LOL. I'll never learn. Anywhos, I co-washed a few times since my last wash day with Good Hair Conditioner and it totally bought my hair back. I really like this conditioner because it's a 3-in-1: deep conditioner, co-washing conditioner, and leave-in conditioner. Jackpot!

This week's #washdayexperience theme is tried and true. Y'all know what that means---Nexxus, Matrix, Jessicurl, and bantu knots for me! Here's how my wash day went:

1. Pre-shampoo- I lightly detangled and slathered my hair in extra virgin coconut oil.
2. Shampoo- Next, I hopped into the shower for 5 minutes to rinse the oil completely. I combined about 1/2 oz of Matrix Biolage Hydrasource Shampoo with 4 oz of water in a narrow tip applicator bottle and applied to my roots only. I let the runoff cleanse my ends. 
3. Protein Treatment- with Nexxus Emergencee; the world's easiest to apply protein treatment. I let it air dry for an hour or so while I did chores.
4. Extreme Deep Condition- Next, I stood under the spray of my shower for about 5 minutes to rinse the Emergencee completely. I deep conditioned with Matrix Biolage Hydrasource Conditioner on the length of my hair. Then I massaged my stands with extra virgin coconut oil, covered with a plastic cap and left it in overnight. 
5. Leave ins- I used Jessicurl Too Shea Extra Moisturizing Conditioner to moisturize, extra virgin coconut oil to seal, then bantu knotted my hair in about 10 sections. 

The Results:
I noticed a little breakage last week and I realized that I hadn't done a hard protein treatment in weeks. Nexxus Emergencee (here's how I use it) always leaves my hair feeling strong and conditioning with Matrix Hydrasource gives me back my softness. Strong+Soft= Balanced hair!

Jessicurl Too Shea always always always ALWAYS makes detangling a breeze---even at 60+ weeks post relaxer. When I let down my bantu knots (Here's how I get these amazing curls)---OMGosh---the fluffy softness. This is EXACTLY how I felt! Ha-ha!

How was your #washdayexperience?
Besitos!
