Review: Turbie Twist Towel

So, this is it-My second review! Yay.
This review comes to announce:  that my hair is FINALLY being protected after every wash. Yes, after the co-washing, pre-pooing, and clarifying washes I now use this neat, little microfiber towel that I bought at my local Dollar Tree store for, $1.00.

Disclaimer: The towel itself, It is not actually sold under the Turbie Twist brand name, but I had already opened, used and tossed the package.....I used the Turbie Twist name and pic for comparison only!!!!!
First, the feel of the microfiber towel, as with any other microfiber product, it was Super soft to the touch! I love the way it feels....Reminds me of cashmere.

Secondly, we shall discuss the TASTE, SMELL, AND SOUND Have all been Obviously omitted. And Lastly, there's Appearance. ...it is so cute!!! It looks like a  cute little turban hat, that has a little button to keep it securely snapped in place on the top of your head, and it comes in a variety of colors....SO who wouldn't love that!?
My hair loves this towel and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. Great quality, great product, and my hair was Ubber soft....So, I say for the price...It was an fantastic steal!

What do you think of my pics? What do you use to dry your head? Would you  consider a turbie twist?Let a sistah know below...........................

So, If you are a fan of BSBLOGS, you should have read a post about my niece, Kyla's natural hair. Read it Here.
OK, and dandy good deed . Now that We're all caught up, I 'll have you to note that I have more than 1 niece and more than 1 natural niece.
Meet Aariyah. She is all of 6 year old, and so adorable with her 6 going on 36 attitude and almond shaped eyes!
Yes, she is natural and I wanted to share a few snapshots of her that I snabbed of her during our Fourth of July festivities. Enjoy!

SN: Yes the little goofy one in red is my son,JJ. Check his blog here: JJ's Blog

Spotlight: Brooke

From time to time, We here at BSBlogs love to shine a Spotlight on Beautiful, naturals that we have become acquainted with. The naturals chosen are inspiring , admirable and VERY influential. This little one you will read about today is a phenomenal child, Blogger, Vlogger, Actress and Model, and a very good friend. Please get to know Little Miss Brooke Aaliyah, she will definitely be in the REAL "spotlight" soon enough!
Read Her Interview Here:

  BlackSistah: Straight or curly?

Brooke: My hair is naturally curly and I love my curly hair. I get my hair flat ironed twice a year by my hair stylist Rose....at Christmas time and on my birthday. She really knows my hair texture.

BlackSistah:Accessories or no?

Brooke:

Yes, I love hair accessories. My fave ones are the ones with flowers and bling. I love flowers and bling. 

BlackSistah:What's your favorite natural hair product?Why?

Brooke:

We love to try new hair products. I love the ones that make my hair soft and allows me to wear it down. I would say that my fave hair products at the moment is Curly Q's. I love the smell, the bottle it comes in and I love that it doesn't make my hair puffy. I like to wear my hair down and when my mom uses Curly Q's, then I get to wear my hair out. My hair also loves Manetane Beauty's hair food. 

BlackSistah:What do you say to kids styling their own hair?

Brooke:

I think that's great. I wish I could do it. 

I would love to style my own hair but my mom says that I'm too young. I gotta wait until I'm older but sometimes she does let me brush it but only when 's wet.

BlackSistah:You prefer mom's styling or Brooke's styling? 

Brooke:

Well since you asked. I like to choose the style and mom does it. . :)

BlackSistah:Whose hair do you prefer best: Skai Jackson Willow Smith?Why?

Brooke:

I like Skai Jackson because her hair is always big and she has cool styles. I really don't want to cut my hair like Willow did but she is pretty with short hair. 

BlackSistah: Do you feel its important for kids to see natural hair in TV, film and commercials? Why? 

Brooke:

Yes....Because if other kids see my cool natural hair in movies and commercials they will love their cool natural hair too. I really like my curly natural hair. 

BlackSistah:What's your favorite hair style?

Brooke:

I love to wear my hair down, twists, braids and in a pony tail. 

 BlackSistah:What's the most important thing you've learned about your hair?

Brooke:

My hair gets tangled so mom is very gentle when she combs it. I have to keep my hair moisturized to keep it soft. My hair gets puffy and dry if I don't use the right products. 

BlackSistah:Anything else you'd like to add?

H.O.T.D-3/ 17/2012

Today's H.O.T.D comes to you via my cousin.....Britney. She is about 8 years younger than me and has a son. She keeps his hair braided in nice cornrows and so I decided to call her up this Spring Break week, and ask if she would braid my hair. She humbly obliged and said I didn't have to pay because we're family and she needs the practice, so I was excited. Now, Ladies and gents.....I still paid her but after seeing the finished results I believe I look all of 12 years old. Shaking my head. I think I wanna take them down. I don't know, HMMMMM. The excitement has left. Proud of me for venturing out to try more styles, But.....
Then, her dad, my uncle said, I have a "BIG HUGE FOREHEAD."
What to do , what to do? Wear this to church, and rock it, or take it down and start fresh?

----------------------------------------
Note: I do have church in the a.m. Oh, and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hey All! Here is my hair for today. It's all twisted up. First, I detangled my hair with my finger to remove any and all shed hair. Then I used my comb, and my paddle brush to detangle FULLY. Next, I applied my Shea butter. Sealed my ends with castor oil. I am on a protective style challenge til March 19th. Let's see if I last.LOL
