Erma's visit, Kinky Twists and hair story...

I was inspired to feature Erma (@adaoha on twitter) and her kinky twists she asked me to do for her from her visit a few days ago after reading about this Hair Horror Story. It was her idea to do a before an after shoot of the style (see below). Erma has beautiful curls and coils and embraced them full force last summer and even prior, but according to her, she got annoyed (which translates to lazy lol) with it and decided to color, perm, weave and wig it for the last few months lol. She loves the element of change and creativity with her hair, and so do I (not for my hair so much since I do have locs and started them especially for low maintenance, hence my continual suggestion for her if she really wants to free herself of all these extra hair affairs), but I think we both agree now that her natural hair is best as is. Even with locs, you are still lent a variety of styling options. She is considering locs, but wants her hair to grow back more before she starts. We shall keep you posted on that decision lol. Check her hair out from last summer (diggin through old photos) and harass her on twitter to go back to keepin it natural lol :-p

Photo stolen from her facebook, Summer 2008 I think lol

Summer 2009


So the before picture is after her hair being washed (went to the spa...her hair was pressed with a wig prior to). It is also after it being died permed, and cut, as you notice the ends are straight and the roots are growing back in naturally. The after is clearly of the kinky twists I gave her. This is the only angle we took, but they matched her haircut in color as well as length (her idea, short in the back, longer in the front). End result was super cute!

Silly us...ppl should never be that excited about going to Golden Corral, but we def were stoked! This is my grandma's favorite place to eat btw, blame her for the buffet love lol!
