what i love about this blow-out is that it's so light you can still see the thick afro texture of her hair underneath. and because of that, the style is voluminous and super bouncy. i even like that the blowout is not super sheeny/shiny, like it's straight off the flat iron. this style is bad !

Lina's texture is similar to mine. What amazes me is that she started growing her hair out just a few years ago. (Back then, she had maybe 4 inches.) In my next post, I'll put up some of her more structured looks.

and has the photo to prove it Oprah, and her natural hair, in the morning (photo courtesy of the Huffington Post) So apparently Oprah is on twitter, and a lot of her 'tweeple' have been complimenting her on her weave.

Conditioning: After rinsing the Bentonite clay out of my hair I apply a generous amount of conditioner to my hair in four sections and braid in four big braids while I am in the shower.
