Ode to Corrine Bailey Ray…and kimmaytube!






O.K. so I tried the Corrine B Ray look with some help from Kimmaytube and I like the way it came out but I would definitely do some things differently next time…and there will be a next time!

I cannot do a flat twist to SAVE MY LIFE so I did the two strand, then twisted the two-strand and then did the coil. It was a spontaneous attempt so I did not use product in my first three pieces in the front (mistake) and of course noticed the coil was less defined which could not be in a more conspicuous location on my crown but I digress.

So, I did use Cantu Leave-In for the majority of my hair and next time I might use more of the cantu or my aloe vera and coconut oil concoction…not sure but I think I will get a better result next time.

Lots of compliments at the office…I have become quite the natural hair maven at the office…I can tell the lighter hued folks in the office are curious and a Jamaican colleague just had to put her hands all up in it…fortunately for her she is an elder and I like her!
