Hi Gorgeous Ones!
Today’s post is regarding a failed twist-out that turned into a fab updo. I honestly tried to repeat my successful twist-out from the other week, but the hair gods weren't havin' it. Lol. Alas, a save that was inspired by Food Network’s lovely, Aarti Sequeira. Out of culinary curiousity, I peeped in on her show “Aarti’s Paarti: eat.giggle.repeat.” to see what dishes she was working on. I had no idea that I’d get a hair epiphany from this episode. Unfortunately, the video for this particular episode, “Fancy Pants”, is not up yet so I’ll try to be as descriptive as possible about her hairstyle.

| Aarti Sequeira. Nope,this isn't the hairstyle. This is as close a pic as I could get to the hairstyle she was wearing on the "Fancy Pants" episode. |
And I know, most of us have seen this style before, but it was such a major win for me to get that I could do this myself. Lol. It was basically an sort of messy updo. With a side part, both the left and right half of her hair was in a large, loose flat twist on each side. In the back, the two sides were gathered into a messy bun of sorts. I thought it was absolutely lovely. A great match for her bubbly personality. Anyhoo, that’s what motivated me to give it a try. I thought, “Why freakin’ not?!” Cause the twist-out definitely wasn't hittin' on anything.
And yes, the pics are in bathroom. Again. ...... I promise you all (especially myself) that next year I’m getting my Nikon D(fill-in-the-blank) and with a tripod. And I will be a fierce picture snappin’ woman once it is in my hand. With pics beyond "the room". Haha!!
And voila! From the basket of lemons, I made my lemonade.......

I am lovin' this style! It's chic and easy! I can see myself rockin' this in a cute, sundress or day dress, nice bag, cute shoes & accessories during the Spring. Haha! I'm funny. Already making detailed plans for the warmer season which is months away.
Products I used for this style:
(1) Jane Carter Solutions Revitalizing Leave-In for moisture & conditioning. I put it on 1st.
(2) Qhemet Biologics Burdock Root Buttercreme for double moisture. I put on 2nd.
(2) Somebody's Grease (Unfortunately, the words on the jar have rubbed off and I just can’t remember the name of the haircare line. Not even sure if they’re still in business. Think I heard of them thru a youtube page. *hangs head* Either way, I’m trying to use it up.)- I put it on 3rd to seal.
(3) Jamaican Black Castor oil cut w/Hemp seed oil for my edges and scalp (*Note: Its amazing to me how I have the need to use oils, especially the heavier ones, during the winter. Can’t be without them right now. In the warmer months, not so much.)
I apply these products as needed. However, with it being so frickin’ cold and blustery (We’ve had windchills close to O degrees and have been stuck with freezing temps the past few days.), it’s been pretty much needed every night. If not, then every other night.
After applying these, I’ve been covering my head with a scarf at night. The next day, I just take it off and go.
I'm lovin' it!
Have you discovered any styles that you can do now?...
