Last Minute Christmas Hair Style

CHRISTMAS  HAIR 2013




This was a last minute hairstyle, I had no clue as to what to do to my hair and I started searching online for some quick last minute hairstyle. After 20 minutes or so I finally found one and I was so excited.



Hair style is quiet simple to do and takes no longer than 30 min to do on long stretched hair.

Mini Braids Installed Video



Here is a quick video of my hair done without me wetting my ends. There will be a separate video for that.

My Mini Braids finally installed

Yes they are Finally done!!




I'm so sorry for anyone who read or has been waiting to see my pictures or video on my mini braids installed with my natural hair. I've finally finished them over a two day period with 5 or 6 hours each day.

I had to many things going on this summer so I was not able to do them the next day 2 weeks ago as planned. I didn't even get a chance to deep condition my hair. I know that's wrong right? I wanted to add that to my hair for extra softness, but I've been applying glycerin to my hair at night with some water and braid my hair up into about 6 or 8 big braids and do that bagging method. I have to say my hair has been very soft..
The downside is that the glycerin kind of feel sticky but not at the same time. Its really hard to explain, but i had one day where my hair felt so soft, I added water to it and i could feel the glycerin on it. So I just added the water to my hair and rubbed it and and braided it up and the next day my hair was super soft and did not dry out the whole day.

Mini Braids Installments


Hello Ladies & Gents, tomorrow will be my first installment of mini braids on my own head. I have done this before but it was when I was about 10 or so and did my younger sisters hair. Let me tell you those braids were about the size you most Youtubers have, but with hair past the middle of her back.

I did a real good job and my sister loved it. I was just surprised she let me do it because it took so long. I got my butt in so much trouble when my mom got home and I did it while she was at work, so she didn't see it until my sister woke up the next morning.

She told me to never ever do it again because she would have to be the one to take them down. When it was time for my mom to take them down, I was getting yelled at the whole time and being told to never do this again to her hair and never that small ever again. I do have to say that the hair was looking real cute and she got a lot of compliments too.

That was the last time I've done them. So it has been over or almost 20 years since. I will be doing them to my own head. I know it will take a long time for me to do them with watching my nieces and nephew most of the day and then on Wednesday I will have to give a friend some braids , singles, or box braids, not really sure yet.

Tonight I will be washing my hair in the shower and I will go to the store in the morning and get me an avocado and make me some deep conditioner. I want my hair to be moisturized and protien balanced also when I do the braids.

I will give my hair a dusting or trim when I do the braids because I have a lot of SSK, some split ends and uneven hair. I'm really focused on keeping my hair healthy over lenght because although my hair is pretty long, when you feel the hair toward the ends you will understand why. I rather have long healthy hair than long damaged hair.

At the end of the month will be my 3 yrs being natural again since childhood. Although my hair is not where I would like it to be because seeing fellow Youtubers and how long their hair is had me believing that I was suppose to have hair growth like them, but that was not the case.

By the way, the shampoo that I am using tonight is homemade and this will be my first time trying it out I will let you know the results if I like it and the pros and cons about it. I just came to my head that I had certain things that I could make into some conditioning soap and it was just a spare of the moment thing. There will be a post along with pictures as well.

Below are a couple of pictures before I wash my hair, just took it out of a ponytail.

Video of the week- 2Pac - Keep Ya Head Up

Whats up Ladies and Gents, This is NaturallyLusciousTresses coming at you with My video of the Week. Sorry that I took so long to post it in the day. This is something new that I'm am doing this. I will have a new song to play for you all on my page that is my personal favorites in my collection. There might be some days where I just post a song that I'm really feeling and bumping at the minute, and other times it will be a wake up song.
With that being said her is my song of the week:  
2Pac- Keep Ya Head Up

This has to be one of my all time favorite song. If you don't know about this song, don't know the lyrics, then there is something seriously wrong with you in my opinion.
 Please play the song below and play this song to your kids, this song has a good meaning behind it.


As Always
~~Stay And Be Blessed~~

Wearing a Hoodie

Racism still happens everyday. It happens to me whenever I go out, especially when i go 

to a store by myself, as soon as I walk into a store I get followed especially small stores. 

They have their workers follow me look at me try to play the role, but it doesn't work. Oh 

and don't have me wearing a hoodie and keep it on, I really get followed. 

Complexion Issues from Woman of Color

Why as Black Females, and females of color, have to resort to this nonsense of who look better than the other because of their complexion? 
I been experiencing this my whole life and wondered when are we going to overcome this foolishness that has brainwashed is into believing one complexion is better than the other. There are times when some people consider me light skinned And other times I'm brown skinned or dark. Does it matter really if I'm dark or light? 

Moisturizing Deep Conditioner


I have to say, the conditioner that I made was well worth it. It made my hair so soft it was crazy. This is a moisturizing deep conditioner because a couple of days before that I deep a Protein deep conditioner, and I have to day it made my hair so dry and hard feeling and like straw.There was nothing I could do about it for those two days because I did't have everything I needed for the conditioner.

So I took it apon myself to just work it out till then, I was missing my avocado and that was the key ingredient.

Below you will see everything I used to achieve this. Sorry there is no picture of my hair, I went to sleep and left it on over night and washed it out and hit the streets.
