Tutorial: Carmen's Chunky Twist Out

When my natural hair was shorter, I often rocked a chunky twist out much like Carmen's. The style was simple and easy to do but definitely packed a punch with some makeup and jazzed up jewelry. Carmen of MyNaturalSistahs demonstrates how she does her chunky twist outs using Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding.

Saturday Stylin' and Profiling

The weather was absolutely wonderful here in Atlanta today and I decided to wear my hair out. I met up with my friend Lisa at the mall for a day of window shopping so comfortable clothing and no-fuss hair were necessary. My hair is in a week old twist out that I've been retwisting into chunky twists each night. Nothing too complicated and very easy to do.

Biotin: Hair, Skin and Nail Vitamin

If you read natural hair sites, you may stumble across the occasional "Biotin Challenge" or discussions about ways to get your hair to grow. I am a firm believer that some of these quick fixes on the market don't work. However, Biotin is another story. 

Biotin, also known at Vitamin H, is a natural supplement that is to said to aid in the growth of hair, skin and nails.When taken regularly, individuals have stated that they have seen their hair grow to at least an inch or more a month, skins looks more radiant and nails are stronger and longer.


I personally have not taken biotin yet but I do want to give it a try for about 3 months. As mentioned on Naturallycurly forums, your results are usually better when paired with Fish Oil (another supplement great for your skin and hair). 

Have you tried Biotin? How did it work for you?
