Flexible Textured Loc Wrap by DivaDeluxxe!

I am so excited to be loc'd again.  Although I love my hair in all ways - both loose and loc'd natural hair.  

I recently dyed my hair ginger.  And it's new for me because I have never made such a big change with hair color before.  What a refreshing change.  💕

Before I dyed my hair, I already had several loc wraps from DivaDeluxxe that I absolutely loved. But they where in my old color which was 2B (dark brown).  I took a chance and reached out to the Etsy store owner and asked if she would be able to do a color match for the Flexible Rose Quartz love adorned textured loc wrap.  And she said yes!  I received my loc's wrap today and its gorgeous. Thank you for this great loc accessories Diva D.

My Boulé Pin's - Great for locs & All Natural Hair

I am in love with my new Boulé Pin's!   My locs have gotten really long and are sometimes a bit heavy. With the Boulé Pin's, I can style my hair in different updo's with complete ease and no discomfort.  I was surprised at how easy it was to pin them into my hair. It slides right in to my freshly twisted locs without pulling or tugging at my hair.   I have the large Mona Boulé Pin (labradorite) and an extra large Jeanette Boulé Pin (botswana agate).  

"Luxury, simplicity, and beauty are at the heart of Boulé. Our philosophy reflects a desire to celebrate curls, locs, and kinky hair with timeless designs that highlight our extraordinary aesthetic. Our Boulé Pins are an easy styling solution for busy lifestyles, evenings out, or warm summer days. They're a must-have for locs, a morning time-saver for women with natural hair, and safe for the tiniest coils or sisterlocks. Each one is handcrafted, made of bronze and features semi-precious gemstones or glass. Our pieces speak to a woman’s desire to treat herself beautifully, love her hair, and feature it proudly." ~  Boule Design.  To learn more about Boulé Pin's, go to:

Hair Bows from QuellyRue Designs!

I just got some really cute hair bow clips from QuellyRue Designs!  The owner, artist and creator of this line of hand made products is Racquel Dwomoh.  She is extremely creative and talented.

"A little blurb about me...QuellyRue! My hands live to create...so I create. Born in the Big Apple and raised in Ghana, West Africa, I am the brainchild of a twenty-something living out her dream as an artist and designer. I am a self-taught crochet and natural fine artist who revels in the possibilities, and lives some where between the dots of etc. The heart of me is creating, whether it is a portrait, painting, photography, crochet, felt, or jewelry. I've been passionate about art and design for just about as long as I can remember. Crafting is fun and I love nothing better than to spend the day covered in paint, surrounded by scraps of fabric, all tangled up in yarn. The end result, cozies, cowls, totes, headbands and whatever else strike my fancy!" Racquel Dwomoh

Giveaway!! Lilla Rose Hair Clip

I have have a new favorite hair accessory!! I just received my Mega Flexi Prominent Dragonfly Gold Hair Clip from Lilla Rose. The clip is really beautiful and I can wear my hair in a half pony tail or full ponytail with the clip and its comfortable to wear (see my photos below). For today's giveaway - Cathy Thomas, from Lilla Rose, will be giving away a Flexi XL Diamond Center with Dangles hair clip. This hair clip will fit just about any texture and hair type. When a winner is chosen, if you have thin hair or a shorter length, you can contact Cathy about getting a smaller size of the hair clip (check out the size chart).
 
"Brief description of the patented Lilla Rose Flexi-8 Clip and the benefits it offers: The Lilla Rose hair accessories are beautifully designed jewelry that works really well in natural hair. One of my favorite accessories is the Flexi 8 hair clip. The Flexi-8 Hair Clip is made from music wire and a pre-designed pattern of beads. One of the amazing features of the Flexi-8 Clip is the pin; the pin is cast in a light durable metal which is incredible strong and smooth. The pin is attached to the Flexi 8 so you don’t lose it. Its cast with three notches which prevents the pin from sliding out once it is secured in the hair. Not only does the hair not slip out it isn’t compromised by sharp or jagged edges that pierce the hair and scalp and cause undue pain and breakage. The Flexi 8 Clip is amazingly flexible in contrast to most items of its kind and surprisingly durable. All sizes of the Flex-8 clip can be worn in natural hair. I’ve worn my clips now for over three years and have found them to be not only beautiful but very comfortable and absolutely no headaches at the end of the day. Anyone that tries one absolutely loves them." - Cathy Thomas

Contest Requirements from Cathy: "To qualify to win an Extra Large Flexi-Clip please visit my Lilla Rose site http://www.lillarose.biz/cathythomas find a clip that you really like under the "Go Shopping" tab and post your favorite on my Locs By Cathy Facebook page.

If you don’t have Facebook please e-mail me at locsbycathy@yahoo.com." - Cathy Thomas.  The winner will be chosen randomly after the contest ends on Friday, November 4th at 10 pm.
