NO TAKERS ON THE GIVEAWAY?

I tried to make entering the contest as simple as possible. All you have to do is leave the name & contact information of the stylist that does your curly perm. I would like to compile a list of stylists for future reference for those that may be in need.

Also, I just received some products from Avlon but if I can't get y'all to participate in this, how will I get you to participate in another contest? SIGH...

PRODUCT GIVEAWAY

Hi ladies. Forgive me that I haven't been updating as much as I would like to. I won't lie, I've been so absorbed with this new diet that I haven't been doing much else. But what better way to make it up to you than to do a giveaway?

Have you ever heard of the curl cloth?(See below) Well Curls By Us came up with this cloth that's supposed to help with curl definition. It's somewhat hard for me to review because maybe it isn't reviving my curls simply because I don't have any. However, I will say that it is a good towel to use to towel dry your hair without frizz.



I ordered two so I have an extra that I would like to share with you all. For all ladies that leave comments to tell me the name & contact info of their curly perm stylist, I will enter you into the drawing. On next Friday, I'll pick one winner from all of the ladies that leave comments.

Also, I will be taking the information that you all give me & starting a post/curly perm stylist directory that I will update as I receive new information.

Good luck & I hope you all have a GREAT weekend. Take care...

LOOKING FOR A GOOD STYLIST IN MEMPHIS

Anyone know of a good curly perm stylist in the Memphis area? If so please leave their information in the comments or e-mail me. Thanks in advance...

HI DIVAS...

Well, I know I haven't been posting regularly & I'm sorry. I have a lot going on. Though I'm technically a housewife, I'm also a real estate agent & I've had a little bit of business lately. Plus, I have some entrepreneurial fires going.

But no excuses! The biggest problem is I keep looking back at the pics of when I first got my curl done & I could kick myself for not listening to Natalie. I want my curls back like yesterday. Guess I'm in a bit of a hair funk.

So...I've decided not to wait 6 months to retouch. I will be getting my retouch on June 3rd. I'm counting down. 4 more weeks! I've been so disgusted with my hair that I just moisturize it daily & pull it back into a ponytail or a bun. I still try & baggy every night but that's about it.

Since no one has really responded on being a feature, I thought maybe I should just ask for pictures of your curls. If you don't want to be a feature, don't want to answer any questions but you don't mind submitting pics, please e-mail them to me at nakia@curlykitchronicles.com. If you want to remain anonymous, that's fine, too. Just state that in the e-mail & I won't include your name.

I'm waiting on a product I read about on another blog. I ordered three. If it works for me, I will be giving at least one, maybe two away. Still can't decide what would be good incentive for the giveaway...

Well to start it off with pics, here are some pics of DivineMom47. She says, "I used large rollers so that I would get a wavey pattern but no real curls."

I'll be honest when I first received the pics, I had no idea that this was a curl. I guess this just shows the versatility of the awesome curly perm!

Hair That Inspires Me - Part II

Told you I was going to start a movement! LOL


Don't know if this look could be duplicated with a curly perm but I love how her hair is wavy at the roots & curly on the ends.


Can't really put my finger on it. I just like it!


I'm really playing around with the idea of coloring my hair. What do y'all think?


I love her length & her waves/slightly kinky look as well as the color.


Even though I'm leaning toward color, there's a part of me that will always love jet black hair!

MY NEW WEIGHTLOSS BLOG

Hi there divas. Just wanted to share my weightloss journey with those of you that are interested. Don't wanna read any jokes about my before pics. LOL

So check out my new blog when you get a chance.

Thanks...

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY, PART II

Hiyas ladies. I hope your weekend is going okay thus far. The weather is bad here & I've been on the web all night. I'm about to launch another blog tonight & I've been working on that (will post the details later for those that are interested). I don't know if any of you have ever heard of the hCG diet but I will be starting on it tomorrow with the hopes of slimming down alot. I have seriously slacked off on the running but plan to get back in the swing of things. My new blog will document my weight loss journey.

Anyhoo...I decided to show y'all what I look like when it's time to go to bed. Except for the nights that I'm extremely tired or extremely lazy, I baggy my hair. To keep the baggy on, I tie a faux silk (polyester) scarf around my hair. My real silk scarf always comes off in the middle of the night.

Just want to credit CurlyNikki (one of my fave bloggers) for this idea. I don't remember when & the exact content of the series but I know she has done something on her blog about nighttime routines.




I'm thinking about doing a giveaway. Don't know what would be good though, being that there are so many different curls represented on here. Can someone tell me what is a universal item for curly perm wearers. I can't think of it since everyone doesn't baggy & of course everyone doesn't use the same maintenance products. Any ideas?

Well ladies I may be out of the loop until Monday. The hubs & I are supposed to take our 2 year old to see Thomas the Train up in Tennessee this weekend & I may not have time to post anymore until Monday.

As always, have a FABULOUS weekend! Cya...
