Ever seen sisterlocks underwater? Well check out the pictures below. Having fun with my water protection case from canon that I purchase a week ago for my upcoming trip to Bahamas :D. Taking pictures under water is a lot harder then it looks.

With more length come gravity and the ability to maintain any sort of curls for a long period of time. I hope with the purchase of a settling lotion( Taliah Waajid Crinkles & Curls
) my curls & crinkle styles would last longer. I dabble with Taliah Waajid product before and I knew she makes really good products. I still use the kid detangler for my daughter hair, but I must admit that I still a bit surprised on how wonderful the Crinkles & Curls turn out to be. Below is a review of that product after using it multiplying times for different styles.
For a settling lotion, I totally believe I made the right choice. I LOVE the fact that this product comes out in a foam format, and not liquid format. You do not have to get an additional spraying bottle or have to worry about diluting this solution. Another plus was the fact that it dampen your locks perfectly without making it dripping wet, which of course lead to faster drying time. This settling lotion foaming action is such a clever way to prep your locks for longer lasting style. Below are my likes and dislike of the Taliah Waajid Crinkles & Curls
Claims
Flake-free concentrated setting lotion formulated to hold natural hairstyles in place longer. Great for straw sets, two-strand twist sets and locks styling sets. Can also be used on chemically relaxed hair.
Like
- Love the Pina Colada Smell
- LOVE the Foam concept
- Very Easy to Apply
- Doesn't Cause Build Up
- Foam dries off CLEAR
- Hold my Crinkles & Curls longer
Dislike
- The Cost ($11 at Amazon)
- The Availability (Not available at my local store)
- I was hoping this settling lotion would soften my braid out but it didn't (it feels the same when I just apply regular water).
My likes for this product far out weight my dislike, and I highly recommend this product if you looking for a settling lotion. If you have an issue with the cost, then I suggestion trying Lottabody or Motions Wrap Lotion.

Since I didn't get a chance to go out last weekend to celebrate my birthday due to a very bad cold I got from my Ohio trip. I decided to go out this Saturday and below is the results of styling my sisterlocks with the help of my flexi rods & temporary hair spray. I had fun doing this and the temporary highlight look so beautiful. This style is very similar to this style (Twisted Updo with Spiral Curls) only different is that I flat twist both side of my head instead of one. So this style had less hair on one side. I also separated the spiral curls more, instead of just splinting them in two.

I woke up early yesterday, and decided to do an updo for work. Below are the pictures. I called this "the messy updo "since I didn't spend a lot of time doing it. You will notice in the picture, the criss-cross pattern is not at all perfect, but it still looked very natural and elegant. I used one of my Flexi-8 that I purchase a while back to keep my sisterlocks pinned. I also included a "How To" below.

Material Needed
Flexi-8 or Hair Clip
Step 1) Decided which side you want to have your free locks to lay.
Step 2) Your front part SHOULD NOT be parted perfectly. Just grab a handful of locks and hold it down with a hair tie.
Step 3) Bend your head down and slowly finger comb your sisterlocks or locks toward the front of your head. This will look like you going to do a stright up ponytail.
Step 4) Starting from the bottom of your head (make sure your head is still bended downward) you going to pick a side (left or right) and slowing start bringing some locks over to the opposite side.
Step 5) Make sure to keep your fingers in the middle of your head, this is where your locks will be overlapping as you continue to grab the next side/set of locks. Continue the process of bring your locks from left to right until your criss-cross pattern reach the top of your head. Note: You can make your criss-cross pattern as detail as you want. My criss-cross pattern was quick and messy.
Step 6) Use your Flexi-8 or Hair Clip to hold down the locks.
