Hi all! I’ve been remiss. It’s been four weeks since my last post. It’s not that I’ve abandoned my blog – not at all – I’ve just been a busy, bad blogger. I guess I did need a break and my hair wasn’t a priority over the last little bit. I needed to get back…

The Accidental Natural’s protective style challenge – update
In September, I told you guys that I was going to do my own protective style challenge (read the post here). Here’s what I was going to do: Keep my hair in protectives styles (kinky twists, two-strand twists, wigs and I’m going to attempt a bun before I have to start wearing a hat! It…
When a good hair ‘do goes bad…
I wish I had a picture to show you. Last week, I created a somewhat intricate style for myself. Well, it’s not that intricate, but it did take more time than normal. I have flat twists around my head and then twists that I corkscrew in the middle. Picture it, folks! It was really cute……
Doing the ‘do: Introducing Korina
My twists are out. Woo hoo! Don’t get me wrong – I enjoyed them very much, but I get bored with my hair very quickly. So, I loved my twists for the first few weeks, but by week five, something had to change. I lasted seven weeks – that’s a record for me – and…
Hairlista’s Healthy Ends challenge update
It’s been a while since I’ve updated you on my Hairlista’s Healthy Ends Challenge. It’s 10 weeks in and I’m doing OK. On some fronts (daily moisturizing) I could be doing a lot better, but I’m making a valiant effort. My kinky twists are six weeks old. It’s been six weeks since I’ve played with…
The accidental protective hair ‘do
I had been looking forward all last week to trying a new style. I was going to use the banding technique to stretch out my kinks before I did a two-strand twist style. I know I can’t explain the technique as well as some other folks online, so I’m just going to leave it to…

The Accidental Natural’s top eight hair tips
Over the past year, I’ve learned some things that have helped me enormously with my hair growth — well, more specifically, hair retention. I’m not one to take pictures of my hair (although I’m starting to) to compare with what it looked like a year ago or a month ago. I am going to begin…
Doing the ‘do: ‘Knot’ impressed
Last week, I decided to try out the flat twists on wet hair. I did it Thursday and when I opened the twists on Friday morning, I wasn’t sure if I liked it or not. As the day went on, a curly ‘fro turned into a tangled, knotted mess… and I was going to the…
A new favourite style???
Last night, I felt like playing around a little with my hair. It was really soft from my protein deep treatment and not looking like how I wanted it to. I had untwisted the six flat twists I had in the front of my hair and the wavy, curly thing it was doing was so…
