How to De-tangle Natural Hair

Today's tip of the day is how to de-tangle natural hair. This method is a little time consuming but works! 

Step 1: Wash hair with product of choice ( see below for product recommendations)

Step 2: Apply a de-tangling conditioner. ( DO NOT rinse out !)

Step 3: Sit underneath a dryer or steamer( which can be pretty expensive) with cap for 10 to 15 minutes to soften hair

This is a picture of the steam dryer. website for purchasing or more information provided below

Step 4: part hair into 4 sections two at the top of the head and two at the back

This is not my hair! I found this picture online to give you an idea of how to part your sections!

Step 5: While conditioner is still in hair use a paddle brush (see below) to comb 1 section into smaller sections

This is an example of a ceramic paddle brush

Step 6: While conditioner is still in hair, after section has been brushed out, Twist large section into 4 to 6 ponytail twist.

This is not my hair! this is a picture i found online to give you an idea of how to twist your hair! please make your twist smaller than the ones in this picture maybe about 3 twist per one twist in this picture

Step 7: Repeat step 5 and 6 for other 3 parted sections

Step 8: Wash out conditioner while hair is still in pony tail twist
Step 9: Untwist Hair and dry

Step 10:Style as desired

Final results! soft, manageable, natural hair!

As stated above here is a list of products that I believe  are good for de-tangling hair.

I'm planning a baby shower!!!

   My friend Ashley is having a baby and she left me and Branisha in charge of planning it! I know what you're thinking.. you plan a baby shower? (<--- I know right!!) but I have always been good at planning and decorating and have always had the desire to get into interior design and party planning so i guess this is my big shot!!!


    So far things have gone great! Branisha picked out the location and its at honey salon and spa in fayetteville georgia! such a nice place and the price was awesome! 

This is a picture of the main bar, where the cake, diaper cakes food and decor will be stationed. 


Below is the section where guest will sit while playing games eating and waiting to be pampered!

My job was to design the invitations and decorate the venue! her theme was black and pink and I am  totally obsessed with damask print so I knew thats where I would start  so using this as inspiration i created the best baby shower invitation ever!

Next on the list was to design the venue space i took inspiration from a picture i found on Google ( see below) and continuing with the black and pink theme I went to my local party city and purchased black table clothes then headed to joanns fabric and brought some pink tulle just like the photo!!!  I also went to my local dollar tree and purchased tea light candles and pink rose petals! that i am going to add to the spa ambiance! stay tuned to see how it turned out!

this is the photo I am using as my inspiration for decorating the spas bar table!

Now on to the diaper cake! this will be my first time attempting to make a diaper cake so i drew inspiration from these pictures i also found on google..   

I also found these ribbons in my local craft store and plan to use them in place of the ribbons used in the previous photos! i can't wait to show you how it turns out!

Whats a baby shower without cake? i plan on making the cake from a photo that i found online! i think it will be cheaper and I have a little bit of experience making cakes with friends.. we should start our own cake business lol!  I'm currently looking up how to make black icing that doesn't taste nasty! wish me luck!

these are some other cakes that me and or my friends have made. 

So far thats all i have planned but there is definitely more to come including party favors baby shower games and final event pictures! thanks for reading hope you enjoyed as much as i did!
