Quite a few of us naturals may run away from breaking a sweat just because we wanna keep our style du jour lookin’ good. Truth is, that cute coiffure may be all for naught if you don’t take care of your body and exercise! Yes, regular exercise is, of course, an essential part of overall health which means your hair will have no choice but to benefit as well! Another Benefit Stress is a huge cause of hair loss in many. I can certainly attest to that fact! But besides the effect it has on our hair, no one wants to be stressed in the first place, am I right? Well, exercise helps reduce stress significantly so you’ll not only look good but you’ll feel good too! No one’s saying you need to get up tomorrow and run a 5K or do 300 sit-ups every morning.

I’ve seen and heard many a natural gal lament that their twist-outs or braid-outs never come out right. There are many things involved in getting the “perfect” outcome but one thing that can help you achieve a decent look is this… Yes, smoothing down the hair as you unravel your twists/braids with an oil will continue the process of sealing the cuticle (which should have started at the moisturizing stage) and give you a nice, clean look. Additional Tips In addition to the use of certain products for hold, etc, a great defined look has a lot to do with the actual installation of the twists or braids. If you’re twisting, give each of the two sections a little twirl before you twist them together… am I making sense? LOL! If that was unclear, I’ll do my best to try and get a video up for you. 🙂 If you…

Happy Friday! Today’s ensemble is the result of a prompting by Ije over at Klassy Kinks. This week, she participated in ModCloth‘s Uniquely You Challenge where she was asked to style a specific piece from their collection using up to seven items also sold by ModCloth.
