OMG...I Wanna Try This Look

Ms. Vaughn of Youtube is definitely a great natural hair inspiration and she rocks some pretty cool styles. I was checking out her videos and was amazed at how she defined her curls in this tutorial. In the video, she talks about how her naturally kinky hair is sometimes labeled that "good hair." She shows that although her curls are sometimes very defined, per the method she shares in the video, her hair is actually quite kinky and coily. I would say my coils are even tighter than hers, but this video had me wanting to try this method to see how my own hair would come out.



Mind you, I don't expect my hair to look exactly the same, but I am sure it will look nice. Ms. Vaughn has a slightly looser curl pattern than mine. When watching styling vids and pictures, allow your hair to do its own thing. No two heads are the same. In order for me to do this look, I will need a paddle brush. I would love the have the Denman D83 Paddle Brush, but may have to settle for something I can buy at the beauty supply before I get around to ordering anything from CurlMart.com. Another reason why I like this look so much is beacause she defines her hair using leave-in conditioner and an all natural butter, rather than a gel, such as Eco Styler of IC Fantasia, that so many natural are fond of. I myself do not like the idea of putting a heavy gel on my hair, although I am looking into using aloe vera or flaxseed gel. If I try this video, I will let you know how the look turns out.

Note: The actual tutorial starts at 6:00.
