<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">So this is my second set of Cuban twist crochet braids. The first set came out after two weeks because my hair was shedding. A lot. Some of the weave pieces were falling out, especially around the hairline. When I took the braids down and washed my hair I saw that I had bald spot on my edges. </span><br />

This is due to post partum hair shedding. Oh well. They will grow back one day. In the meantime I will be wearing weaves, wigs, and head wraps. <br />

I really like them! I am totally all about big hair lately. And they fall over my thin edges perfectly. I curled the hair before I put it in. I dipped them in hot water to set the curl. I used the knotless crochet method. There are tons of YouTube tutorials if you need more info.<br />

Before I it pregnant I was tired of having my hair longer so I cut it short....and colored it pink. After pregnancy my hair took a serious hit! I am 3 months post partum and I have serious shedding. I hear that it can last up to a year after birth so I plan on wearing weaves until it slows down. I currently am back to crochet braids. For this set I used Cuban twist hair and then put it on curl formers and dipped in hot water.</div>

So two years after <a href="http://afrodeshiak.blogspot.com/2012/05/kinky-twists-update.html" target="_blank">this</a> post, I finally got me some Havana Twists. They are all that and a bag of chips.<br />

I did them myself using the invisible twist method. You can check out a tutorial <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt-8vfaSkD4" target="_blank">here</a>. It is super easy to do. But just don't wash your hair or your roots will come out the twists. With that being said, I will probably keep these about three weeks, wash my hair, and then reinstall. I used Marley hair. I used 2, 3, and 4 strands depending on how much of my real hair I used. I think if I do them again next time I will make them shorter. When I salsa dance they hit my dance partners in the face. They took about 3 hours to install. </div>

So I returned from my trip and my hair was a matted mess. As soon as I got back to Nashville I took the bus to Atl to hang with my boo. I really wanted to redo my hair so I took my weave and other hair supplies with me. I wanted to install another set of crochet braids, but I don't know how to braid. Luckily when I cut out the Gogo Curl hair my braids were still intact! So I just put in the hair on the old braids. Based on my pattern I think I will keep these about three weeks. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
At first I was very self conscious about doing my hair at my BF house. I felt kinda weird about him seeing me with my braids and putting in my weave. But I figure he has sisters and a mom, he has seen it before and he may as well get used to it lol.<br />
<br />
This hair was easy to install, I used 4 packs cut in half, and I did not have the loose knots issue due to the hair being kinkier. We will see how it holds up. I think after this I am done with crochet braids for a while.<br />
<br />

It was just a small one though. </div>

My hair was in Gogo Curl by Freetress. It is here that the hair got the most tangled and matted. While dancing my partner's hands would get caught in the curls quite often. I was dancing to 6 am or longer for two nights so that was a lot of dancing and a lot of chances for tangles. </div>

I have very mixed feelings about this hair. I think it is beautiful. On the other hand I had some serious problems with it. One problem I had was the knots at the bas of my hair coming loose.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried to double and triple knot, tie it down, I tried several methods. The hair is too loose to knot effectively. I saw online that some people used spritz or glue to keep the knots in place. Maybe I will try that next time. Everyday I had to tighten up loosed knots. Eventually the hair became so tangled that I did not even need to tighten the knots anymore. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which leads to my second issue with the hair. It tangles to easily. Now, I am a get up and go type person. I did not sleep with a satin scarf over this. I did not brush it or comb it, or even wash it. It is a weave so I feel it should be low maintence. After the third week I had to cut off chunks of the hair. </div>

As you can see by week two the hair looked less fuller because some of it was matted and knotted. Week Three it looked a total hot mess and I took it down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Would I buy Gogo Curl again? Nope. But, it was cute while it lasted. </div>

As the post says I love my hair but I am taking it down. I did such a horrible job braiding my real hair underneath it is completely loose and my real hair is coming out the braids. FOUNDATION IS EVERYTHING!!!! The reasons are discussed further in the video below:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I EFFIN LOVE THIS HAIR! It is so easy to deal with. Basically I just get up and go. I have had a few problems.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hair slipping out. This is mainly due to the fact that I did a super quick installation. Some people double knot. I did not. I know that when you don't double know it makes it easier for the hair to slip. It has only been three strands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My braids underneath are coming out. I knew this would happen because I am a terrible braider. I am hoping I can make it last for three weeks. We will see.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a few frizzies but I don't consider this a problem. It makes the hair look more natural!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than that...these are great! Here are a few pics of me and my peeps out on the town. We went to Kocktails and Koture in Nashville. The food was bleh. Very few vegetarian options. They managed to mess up fries. How can you mess up fries! They dipped them in duck fat which gave them a weird smell. But the music was bangin'! They were playing all old school music such as Sam Cooke "Twisting the Night Away" and Frankie Lymon "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" and Etta James. I was singing all night! That would be the only reason i would go there.</div>

Next we went to WKND on Church Street. The music there was updated and also good. They play some old school hits like "Can We Talk" by Teving Campbell. They also played "Drunk in Love" By Beyonce which sounds really nice in the club. I also tried hookah for the first time which was a massive fail. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello! Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas holiday! This holiday has been an emotional roller coaster. This whole year has been an emotional roller coaster for me. But I am making it out alive so I am thankful In 2014 I will have a clean slate to start from. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was in a hair rut about 1 month ago and I was very very tempted to cut my hair. I was especially tempted to do this when I saw my roomie Lola and her cute tapered cuts. But I fought the urge. Whenever I have these urges I know the best thing for me to do is to put some weave it my hair so I won't have to deal with it everyday. I was looking around the internet trying to find a cost effective weave and I stumbled upon crochet braids. I feel like this would be a good protective style to have. Plus I could have a little hair to swing around when I salsa dance. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>Attempt #1</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have tried to put them in my hair 3 separate times. The first time was a partial fail. Here is a pic:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ896YM48xiMs-LQryWjhaCnTMtGMAengJScB_nm9RP9g61IFc3zZbvCny9mg8m8yG5c-uQXCSIH4Ia9wXm13_dfhU5cCsu7CWCVrlAu9z16ygnXs1-17eTifJpfB6wINNwE1G3_7fDGI/s1600/photo+%25281%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ896YM48xiMs-LQryWjhaCnTMtGMAengJScB_nm9RP9g61IFc3zZbvCny9mg8m8yG5c-uQXCSIH4Ia9wXm13_dfhU5cCsu7CWCVrlAu9z16ygnXs1-17eTifJpfB6wINNwE1G3_7fDGI/s320/photo+%25281%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used marley hair for this look. The only problem I had was the layering. I did not cut the marley hair in half when I used it and it was way to long. I looked like a lion. I attempted to cut it myself and I was not happy with the results. I got a lot of compliments but I was not confident with this hair. I took it out after one week. Also, my mom braided the back to tight and I was getting little bumps along the hair line. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<b>Attempt #2</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, I saw a tutorial on YouTube and decided to try crochet braids with straight kanekalon hair. This was a complete fail. </div>

Why was this a fail? It was way to long. I felt like black Pocahontas. Also this hair shed like crazy. I was going for a different, much shorter look. Basically the girl on YouTube curled the ends with rollers dipped in hot water. That was the part that was a failure to me. The rollers/hot water did not take which resulted in the ends being curly but not curly enough. The look is not bad, it was just now what I was going for. I had this in for maybe 12 hours. I did not have to straighten my real hair for it to blend into the weave, I just had to blow dry it. The tutorial is listed below if you want to attempt this yourself:</div>

<b>Attempt #3</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay. I felt like I had to give it one more shot. The main problem with all this was the hair. So I ended up ordering some Freetress Bohemian Braid hair off the internet. When I put this hair in I felt pretty and confident. </div>

If at first you don't succeed...try try again! Ok, So i used a straight back braiding pattern. The braiding patterns under crochet braids vary a lot. I am not the best braider in the world (which is why I was ashamed to take a pic lol) So I just kept it simple. But the braiding is the most important part. It is the foundation. Next time I will get my mom to braid it for me. A good braid underneath helps to keep the style secure and last longer. I ended up using 4 packs of hair. I cut the hair in half. I ended up having a little bit of black and the golden color left. Here is a tutorial I used. </div>

This sista used Freetress Water Wave hair. I chose to use Bohemian Braid because it is closer to my natural hair texture. I like hers though and may use that in the future. I have learned that with crochet braids the possibilities are endless! Just do a YouTube search and you will see for yourself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I plan on keeping this in for at least 3 weeks. I am gonna aim for a month. I don't think my braids underneath will last that long. We will see. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a woman of habit when it comes to some things. I like to eat at the same places, I like to listen to the same type of music, and apparently I like to have the same hairstyles. I was looking through my Facebook pics and this is when I realized that I have 3 main styles that I go to. I like these styles because they are quick, versatile, and they look presentable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Fingercomber Wig</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my ALL TIME top fave hairstyle! I love love LOVE this wig! First, everyone thinks it is real lol. I have fooled so many people it aint even funny. I have fooled friends, coworkers, hair stylists. They start off by saying, "OMG I love you hair, I wish my hair would look so think and long like that!" Sometimes I tell them my secret, sometimes I don't. Secondly it is soooo easy to work with! All you do is put it on and go. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly this is a very very durable wig. I have had it since around March. It was def the best hair investment I made this year. The only thing I would say is PUT COMBS IN THE FRONT! This has saved my ass sooooo many times it is not even funny. This usually helps around men! Men love to touch and pull on my hair. I used to hold my breath and hope and pray that the wig would not come off, but now, I am not even bothered by it. If you put a comb in the front then the wig will for sure stay secured to your head. You can order your own finger comber <a href="http://fingercomber.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

After Fingercomber, two strand twists are probably my next fave style. Now, this style does take a while to do, but they can last a long time. This is my go-to style whenever I travel. I have taken these overseas and all across the US. I like this style when I travel because I won't have to lug around all my hair products. Also, when traveling overseas, at least in England, Paris, and Croatia, natural hair care products are hard to come by at the larger Walgreen type shops. I suggest you learn to do your own.You can save a ton of money. Also I reuse the hair for about 5 sets of twists lol. I'm super cheap. Just make sure you wash the hair or it will become kinda funky. </div>

My hump hairstyle is what I go to when I need something a little fancy but is super easy and quick. I started doing this hairstyle when I was about 9 months into my hair growing out so you don't need superlong hair to do it. Of course as your hair grows out it will get bigger. This hairstyle always gets lots of stares and compliments from all types of people. This is another hairstyle that people like to touch so make sure you get lots of hairpins to secure it. It can last for 2-3 days. The only downside is that you need quite a bit of hairpins. The tutorial is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTGt75SEjBc" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw a <a href="http://blackgirllonghair.com/2013/12/5-ways-to-rock-a-beanie-hat-on-your-natural-hair-this-winter/" target="_blank">post </a>on my FAVE hair website Black Girl Long Hair about beanies and natural hair. Of course I had to try them out. I went to Target and bought a beanie. Here are the looks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started out with blow dried hair. This was my least favorite look. I just put the beanie on over my loose hair. This is also a recipe for breakage and tangles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhojnWvEK-4_RZUnV3oKSUiWXAphDaXmdsm49-jf6YqR5utLHXqXkGRSf_AUQAq0aUwWUgAGHg31ay03L_vNDUpKqziJq_w9hnkoaz_9RsjupUTUcEnfIlDdHggQuieyaal6VWsSInSaGM/s1600/photo_4%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhojnWvEK-4_RZUnV3oKSUiWXAphDaXmdsm49-jf6YqR5utLHXqXkGRSf_AUQAq0aUwWUgAGHg31ay03L_vNDUpKqziJq_w9hnkoaz_9RsjupUTUcEnfIlDdHggQuieyaal6VWsSInSaGM/s320/photo_4%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I just put the beanie on completly over my head. This is a great protective style because all your fragile ends are covered. If I did this I would do my hair in chunky two strand twists underneath to keep it from getting tangled. With this look the emphasis is completely on your lovely face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0a-CVYib-dpr3B_hEgiRC379wicTEvXWHIioSppzi3nxVkLznaavs7fSqv4NbW3p7lYv75op_jwHvwTHs9Ulx8xOvq5UORrV9owpxV94vaxSSSpMM8NSZ2SCKv-mTJHtyNZH2gkftqxA/s1600/photo_3%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0a-CVYib-dpr3B_hEgiRC379wicTEvXWHIioSppzi3nxVkLznaavs7fSqv4NbW3p7lYv75op_jwHvwTHs9Ulx8xOvq5UORrV9owpxV94vaxSSSpMM8NSZ2SCKv-mTJHtyNZH2gkftqxA/s320/photo_3%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this next look I two strand twisted the front in a large chunky twist. I started with a very deep side part shown here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAxETp6LoGbS0kc9DpAiTpcmNO0so5VTppOfwyAzWy17_2Svbcc9eXD5L0O4-SSfnZz69ByTYA0AFPq1D_RnIUit7Iw_AMgJAzPbp78SBmhUUvBBvelO2P0RZEu8BQlqISbv-ZFUa7cfk/s1600/photo_1%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAxETp6LoGbS0kc9DpAiTpcmNO0so5VTppOfwyAzWy17_2Svbcc9eXD5L0O4-SSfnZz69ByTYA0AFPq1D_RnIUit7Iw_AMgJAzPbp78SBmhUUvBBvelO2P0RZEu8BQlqISbv-ZFUa7cfk/s320/photo_1%255B1%255D.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I twisted to the other side. I was being lazy so I did not do it all the way to the back, but if I was going out I would. Last I just put the beanie on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my fave look, though it was not very functional lol. I would probably put a few hair pins in the style to secure the beanie in place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here are a few of my looks! I will try a few more when my hair has been in two strand twists a few days.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I was pressed for time. Yesterday I put lots of Eco-Styler gel in my hair and smoothed it back into a puff. Of course this caused it to tangle but it was ok b/c today I planned to wash and style my hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, today I was pressed for time and I did not have time to do my usual wash day routine which consists of the following:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coconut oil and Honey pre poo conditioning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
De-tangle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shampoo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rinsed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Conditioner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rinsed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shea butter and coconut oil creme application</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
style</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This usually takes me about one to two hours to complete.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I said I was pressed for time so I cut out a few steps. I did the following:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shampoo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put conditioner in my hair</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Detangled</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rinsed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shea butter and coconut oil creme application</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guess what I discovered...my hair felt just as soft!!! And it only took 20 minutes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OMG This is gonna change my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Crochet braids update</h3>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a few adjustments I actually grew to like how they looked. It was super easy to get up in the morning and just go. However, my mom braided my hair too tight, or my scalp is just super sensitive. I started to get little bumps on the back of my hair line at the nape of my neck and it hurt a little. it felt like hair were being pulled. I plan to get them again and in the future I will leave my hair line out. This will eliminate tension and it may even make the braids look more natural. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey yall! So I did my hair in two strand twists for my Paris trip in a week. I am glad I did them early because I am having a few problems! i used the invisible twist method. If you are not familiar with this it is explained in the video below:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/cn1VnJrjwKw?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the way that the hair looks like it is coming from your scalp. So I tried it on my own hair. It turned out pretty well. I had a few issues at the front of my hair because my hair is fine but overall it turned out good. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then I washed my hair. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the wash my roots completely came undone, some of the twist hair started sticking out, it was looking a mess. So I am having to redo my hair. More explanations in the video below:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I originally found this hairstyle on YouTube. The girl who was in the vid had hair that was super long to her knees so I was not sure if this would work for me. I tried it about a month ago and could not make it work. I tried it again on Friday and it worked! So ladies don't give up on hair styles. My hair is between 6.5 and 7 inches. So it is not that long. It was super easy too. The tutorial is below. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this is my first tutorial video. It has some issues in the beginning. I don't know what happened lol. This video actually shows the second time I did it. I did it way better the first time so I need to start taping the first time I do hair styles. Hope you enjoy!</div>

Overall the wig was super easy to use. It did get hot sometimes while dancing. And I kinda was afraid at times someone was going to spin me the wrong way and it was going to fall out. A few times random folks just put their hands in it. So ladies I HIGHLY recommend that combs are put into the front. Those combs saved me lol. Otherwise you are going to be in an embarrassing situation cause the wig will easily come off with out combs put into the front. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would say my hair grew at least an inch during the two months I wore the wig. It easily accommodated my two strand twists underneath. And everyone thought it was real! It blended perfectly with my kinky 4a and 4b hair. <br />
<br />
Why did I stop wearing it? Hmmm. Simply because I grew bored of it. I still love it though and I am sure I will wear in randomly in the future. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would say the Finger Comber wig is well worth it's money. I have convinced 3 of my friends to buy one and they love it too!</div>

I did a simple roll tuck pin hairstyle. I really just wanted an excuse to spend time with her. It is so funny, growing up, she always wore wigs cause she said her hair would not grow. Now that she has stopped wearing wigs her hair has grown longer than it has ever been. She even remarked "Now that I am about to die, my hair wants to grow." </div>

I used this product called Curl La La that I found at the Family Dollar Store. I was attempting to do a product review for this blog. This quickly reminded me of why I do not like to use store bought products on my hair. I did a twist out in my normal fashion using the product. By morning my hair was not dry. I was super annoyed by this. I put a head wrap on and continued throughout my day. By afternoon my hair STILL was not dry. I can't wear a headwrap to nursing school so I just untwisted my hair damp, twisted the front to the side and put the back in a puff. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will do a full reveiw of Curl La La at a later date. So far, they are not getting good review from me. I only bought the product because it was five dollars. </div>

Overall it was a great event. The best part was seeing so many natural haired ladies around. The only thing that was kinda suspect was this Design Essential's "no damage" straightening treatment that is supposed to not make your hair permanently straight. Other than that, it was all good!</div>

I have a few ideas in mind. I will more than likely do my favorite hair style that always gets tons of compliments and is super super easy to do. If you have been a follower of the blog it should be of no surprise to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hint: It is a roll, tuck, pin hairstyle. I will reveal it tomorrow!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am very excited about this event. I plan on meeting a few people there. There is a natural chica named Amber of Nashville Natty's who is doing a documentary about natural hair so we will meet up tomorrow. On Facebook it says this lady whose kids I used to babysit will be there so maybe I will see her. The day is sure to be full of surprises! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out Amber's blog <a href="http://bespokecurry.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. She was also recently featured on <a href="http://blackgirllonghair.com/2013/05/bglh-style-amber-in-tennessee/" target="_blank">Black Girl Long Hair</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are natural in Nashville and would like to be a part of her film then check out the film's <a href="http://www.streetandroids.com/casting/nashville-nattys/" target="_blank">website</a> and contact her. <br />
