In the month of November, I decided to begin protective styling with my favorite thing- kinky twists! At least… I think they were kinky twists. LOL Ya see, I used Bob Bulk hair by Janet Collection which isn’t quite kinky yet isn’t quite as straight as normal kanekalon braiding hair. You may recall this style post, inspired by Chanel Boateng on the YT. Anywho, here are four more styles I wore during the month and a half that I had these twists in. Enjoy!

Woo! It’s been a minute huh?! The passed month or so has been crazy busy so blog posts have been few and far between recently. *sad face* But I hope you lovelies have been able to keep up with me on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. 😉 So, about a month ago, I put in some twists using this new hair I saw at my local beauty supply store called Bob Bulk by Janet Collection. Although it was priced at about $1 more per pack than the Afro Marley Braid I’ve used for my Kinky Twists and other updo styles, I thought I would try it.
