5-Minute Hair Style for the Lazy or Busy Naturalisa!

My hair has been put away and protected for MONTHS, so I've been enjoying an array of headwraps, and CovaGirls™ (if you're new here, that's what I call my wigs) while I decide that I want to do next.  I always enjoyed the exotical (yes, I know that's probably not a word, but I love it) way braids and twists made me feel, so I featured those looks all of last spring, summer, and fall.  

This winter, I stumbled upon a Sista-owned brand, Darcel's Tresses, that hand-makes various styles of  CovaGirls™ , and of course I picked up a braided one.

You know I'm always going to hook you up with the quick & simple, fun & versatile!  Check out my first impressions (video) on my latest CovaGirl™, that I picked up from 

Darcel's Tresses!

Thanks for reading and watching!

Below I included some braid sheen spray options, and a scalp oil that may come in handy during protective styling.

Stunning Box Braids in 5 Minutes!

I always wanted box braids, because they're so exotic, and beautiful.  However, I just can't see myself, spending the time, or money on getting them installed.  Not to mention, who wants to constantly remind the braidstress to not tug on her roots and edges?!  MM mmmm.

Anyway, my solution is a box braid CovaGirl™.   It's a great protective style, fly, it's only 5 minutes to style, and less than that to "take down". 

Sensationnel Empress Box Braid CovaGirl™

After seeing reviews and shopping around, I chose this one, by Sensationnel.  Check out my video for the deets!

Equal Box Braid CovaGirl™ GiveAway!

So....

I was at the beauty supply, minding my business, when suddenly our "eyes" met.

Finally, a braided unit that was not too long, with just the right amount of texture, and low sheen!  When I asked the clerk "How much is this unit?", she said, "Eighty-fih dollas"....  {blink blink}  Obviously, I was interrupting her meal.  O.o   

I digress.

.... Brand name (Equal Box Braid Lace Front) and other specs committed to memory, I high-tailed it to the house, popped open the laptop, and blow me down!  There she was...30 bucks!  Booyaah.  Did I NEED another box braid CovaGirl™?  Naw, but I couldn't let the deal slide, and for the price I had to also get a 2nd one for an illustrious member of my Afro squad!   

I'm a firm believer of protective styling as a tool to help retain length, especially during the cooler months.  Wearing CovaGirls™ is one of my favorite go to options during this time of year; your head is covered from the cold, and you can be stylish at the same time.  Functional beauty -- yeah, that's how I roll.

You're probably curious about the details of this braided baby.  Well, I gotcha covered!   Click on this photo (where I thought I was weeerking my eye makeup -- a look I "borrowed" from YouTube of course) to view my quick show and tell:
