[supersweetsong]

That's beautiful!!! I love that on you.

[po3ticphlonaz]

My scalp get irritated by bobby pin of all types any alternative suggestions?

[ade52286]

Your hair looks pretty. I just took out ky mini twists, and I will never put them in again... if someone volunteers, fine, but at almost mid-back, there is no way I will do it again, so now I am putting in small twists. This is great inspiration.

[BlakIzBeautyful]

CUTE!

[brownshuga24]

You've got skillz, Darling!

[msquayla]

I totally agree with you with the enjoying the length you are at... I KIA e my hair and like you I've been wearing it out for a long time. Just finished some small two strand twists yesterday. I think I might join you and stay protected until April!

[jusny4u]

super cute

[ThePrettyNappyGirl]

Will keep that in mind. Thanks again!

[Summyr1988]

@ThePrettyNappyGirl Your welcome!! :)

[ThePrettyNappyGirl]

Thank you so much for the tips. I have cut out pork already, thank goodness...... I will definitely try your way. Afraid of giving up the cheese. Lol

[Summyr1988]

@ThePrettyNappyGirl That's why I said it last. Cheese was my favorite, but you can find vegan cheeses at whole foods.

[ernstlubin]

wow, this is sooo cute!! I will definitely try this style 

[ThePrettyNappyGirl]

Off topic, any tips for going vegan?

[Summyr1988]

@ThePrettyNappyGirl Sure, Do it gradually, if you are currently a meat eater. I would say give up pork, then later beef. You know kinda phase your way in. If you are veg I would say switch to soy or almond milk first, then eggs, cheese would be my last step. If you take baby steps into it you won't feel overwhelmed.

[lilallnatural1]

Hey summyr you look great!!! You know I have to ask where did you get your earrings they are so cute!!

[Summyr1988]

@lilallnatural1 Thank You!! I got them a few years ago at Lennox Mall in Atlanta. They were sold at a kiosk and they were handmade.

[nbilladeau]

do u ever use lock it up for wash and goes?



[Summyr1988]

@nbilladeau I've thought about it, but never tried it.

[RosiLeouis80]

This is so cute.

[yosoyb1]

Where did you get your earrings?

[Summyr1988]

@yosoyb1 At a kiosk in Lennox Mall in Atlanta.

[bajan4metia]

These twists are beautiful. I am definitely gonna try them because I just took out my yarn braids and i feel like i lost alot of moisture. workin to get it back.

[1988collegegurl4sure]

I love the earrings!

[tokyosuni]

LIKE OH MY GOSH!!!! THAT IS FREAKING CUTE!!!!!!

[SigNificent5]

I love this style. I've been trying to get someone to do my hair like this since I saw it in your journey video (I can't flat twist ).

[meadowarch]

I love this style on you, I rock this on my hair which is way shorter than yours thanks for sharing

[GKiwiM2010]

I have hair envy everytime I see your hair. I luv how fast it grows. OH and you wear the flyest earrings

[TokyoUnwanted]

super cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AuNaturaleFrench]

How do you stay protective for so long? I get soo bored with being protected all the time and I like to see my hair out. And how has the working out been, you haven't updated us on it in a while. And your hair looks great btw.. :-)

[Summyr1988]

@AuNaturaleFrench I have had my hair out for like 2 months and I was itching to put it away. I just prefer protective styles. There isn't really alot to say. I workout after work and it's coming off really slowly. I wanted to wait for a significant loss before discussing it here. I tweet about it though.

[shany9988]

Very cute and simple.

[sultrydoll]

missed you. love the hair. i think i wanna try a mohawk...i got the lock it up gel based off your rec' and i'm on jar 2...i love love love it!

[Summyr1988]

@sultrydoll It's great stuff!! I wouldn't steer you wrong. :)

[whoissugar]

Ugh. I can't stand you! J/K I'm mad jealous tho.

[Summyr1988]

@whoissugar Lol!! You make me not like you sometimes too. You soo fabulous!! You learned how to cornrow, so you could do this easy!!

[AmeeraHill]

I. Love it!!!!!!

[godsflame2]

I like this on you. Its really cute. I agree with what you're saying about enjoying the stage that you are currently in. I look back on my TWA' days(which did not last long) and wish that I would have worn my hair out more at that stage. And you're right when it starts getting longer some styles just dont look the same.

[MsNaturallyHealthy78]

Love it!

[lookingforachange]

this style looks great on you

[ketket1]

I love lock it up and i thank you for putting me onto it

[Summyr1988]

@ketket1 You're welcome!! It's my favorite!!

[babegirl7997]

Your hair is beautiful!

[MsChelCD]

If you like the mixed chicks try mixed silk at sallys its suppose to be a dupe its only 6 bucks

[Summyr1988]

@MsChelCD I do like it, but I don't like the price tag. I'll check for that when I run out of my mixed chicks.

[RosiLeouis80]

@MsChelCD I tried mixed silk and it flakes up on me. Just like Eco Styler gel, it flakes on my hair too! Maybe I put too much on lol.

[MsChelCD]

@RosiLeouis80 Yeah it did that to me when I used to much. You just have to find the right amount. I just don't like the feel of it or the smell but a lot of people love that stuff.

[VickyVue]

What's up chica!!! Girl, I started back doing the protective styles back in August of this year because Michigan weather, well u guys know. The Mohawk style is gorgeous!!! Aaahhhh gotta definitely try it, once I decide to let go of my favorite protective style....WIGS!!!lol

[msdelle22]

[naturally4us]

Beautiful!!!!! LOL :-)

[uniquechild68]

and where have you been beautiful? i missed your videos, love the mohawk :)

[Summyr1988]

@uniquechild68 I was gonna do a vid last week, but I had a sty and it was NOT cute!! lol

[mskinkybeauty]

Do you style other people's hair?

[Summyr1988]

@mskinkybeauty No. I've only done my own. It would feel strange doing someone else's, but I'd try if the price was right. lol

[trecey920]

that video I sent to you was close to what you did with your hair. Love it!! I have to try the tuck and pin method.

[90wilcox]

Loving this style!!

[leneahunts]

[leneahunts]

[Summyr1988]

@mrsv2you You'll love it!! The Lock it Up is awesome!! I've never seen it at my Walgreens. I guess I live in the wrong city :( Thank God for the internet!!

[Summyr1988]

@wandapride Thank you!! I do an hour of cardio after work everyday. Nothing major, but more than I was doing before. :)

[VictoriousLat]

nice!

[HappyNappyKinks]

I love this protective style! I just can't do protective styling right now...I'm really loving wearing my hair out. On something completely random, are you still juicing?

[Summyr1988]

@HappyNappyKinks `I love protective styling. I was just being lazy. I am juicing every once in a while. I did the New Moon Fast a while ago and I was drinking only juice and water.

[iM2MUCH19]

I love all your videos. I toke notice on what you said about loving your hair no matter what length it is. I agree with u because ive been relaxer free for about a year now and natural for about 9 months. I didnt start apreciating my hair enough until recently because it wasnt long enough for me. But you gave me great inspiration to love it no matter what length it is. Another thing your absolutly right about styles not being exactly the same when you get more length. Thanks 4 the inspiration :)

[marinusc8]

your earrings are AWESOME!! NODS :D



[Summyr1988]

@marinusc8 :) Thank you!

[DaviaAfroDiva]

I love it!!

[Summyr1988]
