We always want to be reminded that whatever we do really helps someone to be inspired to do more. I have the awesome opportunity to to share not just my gift but my own story and journey.
This passed week I received an email which started off by saying “I just went through each and every post and pic from your wordpress site and am compelled to send you a big hug. Your site is absolutely amazing and a true godsend for me”.
Now for sure this had me definitely motivated to read the entire mail and it continued with the sharing of how I’ve given her the desire to do a make over and embrace being beautiful with crochet braids.
I was so bowled away by this and it had me smiling all day. As promised she sent her pics of the first attempt at installing crochet braids and I am sooooo proud of her. Bella Elaine has taken a leap of faith and has done something she’s never done before.
She looks amazing and her hair is FAAAAB. Kudos to you mama. It’s testimonies like these that make me know that my decision to share my gift is worth the investment and I’m so motivated to continue.
It doesn’t matter where you are in the world you too can embrace a unique protective style that protects your hair, promotes growth, and aids in retaining length. In addition crochet braids is flexible and fashionable.
I love #crochetbraids and I love #teambella.

Just wanted to share my new crochet braid hairstyle and also give you some necessary tips. Hope this helps #teambella #cheers
There’s just something about big curly hair. For this new set of crochet braids, I decided to test a new hair with the desire of having it big, curly and free to blow in the wind. The hair selected was called Gogo Curl. Now in Jamaica the word gogo is kind the name you would want to associate good hair to, but I’ll do a video for sure to bring you up to speed. I’m reallly impressed with this hair and the results are absolutely phenominal.
For the record this installation took longer that what I’m used to because I tried my best to juggle it with my business schedule and so time wasn’t totally on my side.
What I can say so far is this totally gives me a new look so much so that I definitely want to explore using the hair with other colours. Like really can you just imagine this hair in blonde.
I’ve started to use some new products for my crochet braids and I’ve also been recommending them to my clients.These I wiill talk about in a later post.
Of course you can stay connected to see how I rock this hair for the next couple of weeks.

Hey Family,
So I decided to install a new set of crochet braids, but as you know I still have to deal with my regular schedule which can be a good busy. With that said I’m about 3/4 way completed with just a few rows at the front.
As you can see I used a scarf to style as a headband and pretty much let the hair blow in the wind. :). I’ll definitely talk about the hair that I’m using and the look that I’m actually going for. As a hint I am feeling the big and curly, but let’s see how it turns out.
Talk to you lata.

About a week ago I had an entire bridal party including bride and bridesmaid that wanted to be “Bellad” It’s so exciting to know that many are intrigued by my work and have a desire for me to style their hair.
I really love seeing how my Bellas take their style and make it their own. In the photo above from left to right Bella Danielle wore Tango Curl, Bella Shermaine rocked Water Wave and Bella Kysha chose Appeal. All hair types are from the Freetress Brand.
I should be posting pics of the bride very soon so just stay tuned for that.

It’s amazing how after washing your hair, it looks as though you have no hair on your head :). I took the liberty to stretch my hair so you can see what I’m really talking about. The good thing is that, I understand how it is and I’m ok with it and that’s really very important. So it ‘s been about 2 weeks and some days since I’ve been wearing my own hair and I’m really growing to understand how to make it work and wear it well and that for me is very exciting.
Now that I’m given my hair some sweetness, It’s now time to install a new set of crochet braids. I’m using crochet braids as my main protective style so that my hair can grow, retain length and keep it’s fullness. I’ve decided to use a new hair type from the Freetress Brand. I won’t give a name just yet but will show you a snippet.
Something tells me that I’m really going to love this hair. I will keep you all posted for sure and hopefully I’ll get the chance to install this beauty very soon. As always thanks for stopping by and being apart of my journey. Have a great day #teambella
I finally got the chance to take down my crochet braids even though I had a busy schedule. So my natural hair is out and about and I must say that I’m pleased with the way it looks and feels. Some of you may know that I’ve been a natural all my life but I’m just now learning how to really take care of my natural hair. Acquiring information is just so important and I’ve been making it my point of duty to find the resources and also people who share their knowledge of hair. One of the things that I’ve been learning is the importance of doing protective styling on my own hair. Now for the most part crochet braids has been my protective style, however it’s really new for me to be doing natural hair protective styling. What’s most important is that I’m really willing to learn and that definitely keeps me going.
Some people may say, I’m not a hair person and I can’t do the things necessary to take care of my hair. Like everything else it’s just something you can learn to do. Learning takes time and effort but you can do it. All you need to do is find the resources and gain the knowledge you need to do what you need to do.
I wanted to talk about the products that I used after taking out my crochet braids. Now it’s very important that you always give your hair a nice wash and deep condition. Giving your hair some TLC really works and also getting products that will work for your hair. My advice is keep it simple. Many times people become product junkies because they want to try so many products at one time and in the process they don’t really give the product the chance to work.
I will be sharing a video that I watched yesterday from a youtuber that I found who shares her haircare tips for 2013.
Ok so back to the products I used.
Amazing Botanicals Black Soap Poo
I used this product to shampoo my hair and it really removed all the grease and really left my hair feeling clean. Now you don’t have to use this exact product, you can just use the natural black soap and it will definitely get the job done.
Quick Note: Always wash your hair in sections. I most times section my hair in four. Trust me bellas your hair will definitely be easier to detangle and definitely don’t forget a wide tooth comb.
#2 – Curls Unleashed No Restrictions Moisturizing Conditioner
OMG this stuff is the best thing that I’ve ever used on my hair. I’ve been watching reviews on youtube and I finally decided to give it a try. Trust me family I’m so happy I did. Talk about my hair actually loving this stuff from the start. After applying the conditioner section by section I made it sit for a bit then rinse it out with water. This product will definitely be apart of my inventory for quite a while.
#3 – Giovanni Leave In Conditioner
This was also product that I wanted to try and I love it. After washing my hair and shaking out the excess water, I then used this lightweight leave in conditioner in each section, sealed each section with extra virgin olive oil and then did some chunky twist before bedtime.
My hair looks amazing and feels super soft which is awesome. For the last couple of days I have been wearing protective styles and that’s going to continue for about another week and a half before I put in another set of crochet braids.
I’m really happy that I now appreciate my hair and I want to do the right things so it can flourish and retain length. I really hope this helps. Have a great day until we talk soon.

There is never a dull moment with #teambella and today was super exciting. I had the awesome opportunity to be stylist ,MUA(makeup artist) and photographer for Bella Melissa. As you can see she’s more than pleased with her look and if she’s happy then I’m happy.
For her crochet braids we chose to use Freetress water wave in #30 (honey gold) and 1B(off black). One of the things that I wanted to show was the flexibility in styling. With crochet braids you have the awesome opportunity to play around with your hair and create different looks. Bella Melissa shows three different styles and that’s just a tip of the iceberg.
So it really doesn’t matter where you re in the world. Once you love crochet braids you are for sure apart of #teambella. I do hope this inspires you as always to do more with your crochet braids.
#cheers
BELLA BEAUTIFUL
