Naturally Beautiful: How To Do a Twist Out

T.G.I.F Natural Beauties :-) We've made it through yet another work week . On Wednesday , the legendary Reggae Singer Bob Marley's birthday was celebrated in various forms , one of which was a Free Concert at Emancipation Park .. Did any of you attend?

Today, i will be explaining how you can achieve one of the easiest ,quickest  and "functional" at home styles. According to the Natural Hair Dictionary, A Twist Out is : " A hairdo where you two strand twist the hair, then allow it to dry by either air drying it or sitting under a dryer".  To achieve the perfect Twist out , follow the steps below.

Step 1: Dampen hair with water. Twist outs work better when the hair is wet or damp.

Step 2: Apply your favourite hair product that has a bit of a hold to it.  Massage all throughout the hair from roots to tips.Hair Gel can also be used in this case ( if you desire). Try to find alcohol free products that has a medium - firm hold.

Step 3: Begin to Twist the hair. This can be done by taking two strands of the hair and wrapping them across each other until what looks like a really loose braid begins to form. Do this until all your hair has been twisted.

Step 4 : Allow the hair to dry for several hours or for better results leave for overnight.

Step 5: Carefully undo all the twists then style and go. To finish off you can add a hair gloss /polisher and some hairspray.

Twist outs are a wonderful natural hairstyle. You get a lot of versatility , depending on the size of the twist you can let it last for as long as you want.

The Purpose of A Consultation

I recently touched on what goes on at a Sisterlocks™ Consultation and i must say it was well received . Today i will like to talk about the importance of a Consultation ( generally as it relates to Natural/ Sisterlocks™ ). I know here in Jamaica , many women will skip this step and go straight into doing their hair but it is very important.

The main purpose of a Consultation is Communication . Every good stylist should learn to communicate with their clients to get a full understanding of what they want. This builds rapport between the client and stylist and might even increase the business. If one client is happy , then they are sure to introduce recommend clients. The Consultation also gives the stylist an idea of what your needs are . This is very important as it helps the stylist to make the right recommendations for you. Please also note , A Professional Consultation is done on a "one to one " basis between the client and hair stylist . It can either be done in the reception area of the salon or at the styling station.

There are also different types of consultations and they will of course differ by Salon. There are salons that will do what is known as a "Test Look" , where they style your hair according to your desire , then take it down and when you return on your next visit , the style is re-done and you actually pay . There is also the type of consultation where your hair is tested to see if you have any damages , then they will treat it to prepare for your actual visit .

During the consultation you should always tell your stylist what you want . If it is that you cannot describe it take along visual aids with you such as pictures from a newspaper or magazine or simply talk along your "Smart Device" with you . Everybody seems to have one of those these days.

The consultation in essence is geared at putting the client as ease and aims at instilling a certain amount of confidence in the hair stylist.

Big Beautiful Natural Hair!

Good Morning my Natural Beauties ... i trust you all had a wonderful weekend . There were so many events this weekend . There was Rebel Salute ,  The Jamaica Blog Awards and so many other great events ,whichever one you went to i hope you had fun . Today , i would like to talk about Natural Hair . We also offer natural hair care services here at Adzua and i thought it made sense to talk about it.

Many women are starting to fast embrace their kinky , curly , coily and awesome natural hair . If you flip through the pages of any high end magazine you are guaranteed to see a few of these natural beauties . In 2011 when Singer Solange Knowles went natural it made waves (pun intended) on the Media . In 2011 when Jamaican reported Kerri- Ann Lee went back to her natural roots many viewers where astonished. There was that "why did she do that question" and also the "Oh it actually looks good".

Natural Hair has become a lifestyle for many women who are simply tired of looking like just another girl on a Magazine cover  as it distinctively sets them apart. For those of you who are wondering , Natural Hair is simply the hair that you were born with without using heat or any form of chemicals to alter it . You can however use treatments and serums for the care and maintenance of your hair .  The quick advice i can give any woman who wants to go natural is that it's going to be a journey , there will be times when you want to give up and get a relaxer and there will definitely be times when your hair is so matted that you will want to rip it out . I recommend be patient and try to find out what other women who are on this Journey like you are doing.

We make special hair remedies for your natural hair to keep it strong and healthy and promote growth

First Follow–up: Re–tightening Session

The Journey is starting to get even more exciting.  It is now time for your first follow up visit with your newly installed Sisterlocks®  Based on the information you received in the “Starter Kit” , you would have noticed that you were advised to schedule your visit when you have shampooed your hair at least two times ( usually a month from the time your locks were put in)

This is where your consultant will test the integrity of your locks and will have an idea of how long the settling process will take. This is in essence a re- tightening session so be prepared to be in the salon for most of the day.

At this stage , you will be able to discuss Styling Tips and also what look is right for you. As it relates to On-going re-tightening sessions , try to schedule them for 4-6 weeks intervals. By doing this your Consultant will be able to carefully monitor your hair . I cannot stress this enough , It is imperative to follow the instructions of your Consultants as it relates to visits and care .
