How -to- instructions Flat Twist Knots





This model is wearing the Flat twist knots.
1. Her hair was shampooed and conditioned with NNR Rosemary Hair Mask
2. I then applied NNR Moisture Mousse and NNR 3n1 deep moisture treatment to her hair.
3.I then crescent parted her hair and started at the hairline with a flattwist.
4.Once I twisted a little pat the hairline I then looped the flat twist away from the scalp.
5.The flat twist should be twisted back to scalpthen secured at the nape with just twisting.
6.Once all of rows have been twisted the client should be put under the dryer with a sanex strip for 20-30 minutes.
7.After drying NNR hydrating sheen should be sprayed for sheen.
This hairstyle should last between 2-3 weeks.

Some people have asked me about the title of my blogspot ...I Love Nay Nay> Did you name it after I Love New York? NO!!! So I am sitting here sipping on my morning java and I start laughing to myself. I know some people know that my nickname is Nay Nay since I was a little girl.All of my family call me Nay Nay and that is that. When I moved to Atlanta back in 1994 to come to Cosmetology School and I would drop of the Nay's. I just wanted a more mature name...at least that's what I thought.When I met my husband he immediately called me Nekesa which is my first name. He told me how beautiful my name was and I started recieving alot of compliments on my "government name" lol.
When I decided to start this blog my husband and I were talking and going over names. When we started dating he always said to me ...if you had a tv show it would be like I love Lucy. I guess he knew how silly I am and always seem to be into some kind of adventure. This was in the late nineties so ...I did not copy off of I Love New York.LOL.I simply started to blog about my day to day life as a mom, wife, an beauty busineswoman.Stay tuned an now you know why I have named this blog I love Nay Nay!
Until Later ,

Summer updo's! It is too hot to be bother with hair. Go for a flat twist updo or two -strand twist updo.
As I am in my salon working on a client , I have taken the time to go over some issues in the haircare industry.My client and I were talking hair talk..you know hair product, style options and knowing your texture. I have to be honest with anyone out there that want to know the truth.There is NO MIRACLE TEXTURE CHANGING HAIR PRODUCT out there other than chemical relaxers,or curly perms aka jheri curl.There is enough business for all haircare professionals out here but I have to say that products like Ms.Jessie's designed by two black/asian sisters are not particularly for every hair texture, especially a texture like mine and 90% of my clients. I am in no way hating on these women, they inspire my but I have to be honest when it come to my clients and people with a tightly curly texture looking for a hair product. NNR hair products are designed to put moisture back into the hair.When your hair is very curly,of kinky it tends to be dry because by the time the natural oils go through the cuticle to the hair shaft it stops because of the tight curl. Straight hair is more oily because the keratin goes directly from the root to the end with nothing to stop it.People when it come to natural haircare iol and water are the best things to use. If you reflect on early childhood years those items use to train our ponytails. So try a little water which is a natural moisturizer for hair and NNR signature 3 n-1 deep moisturizer which is an olive oil base product.
Until Later more hair

It is not quite summer and I must say that it has been an eventful one. The children are out of school already. They get out so early here in GA, but they go back early August 10. Although my children asked for a non-agenda summer schedule I seem to still be so busy driving them from pool to park.Note to self we have got to get a real pool for next summer.I do plan on traveling this summer so I am quite excited about that.
As far as the business, I have been doing some salon renovations and we have a nail tech,jelewry designer Nikita Hollingsworth,@www.nikitascreations@blogspot.com and salon marketing person, Ms.Angela with Twenty6marketing@gmail.com. Planted seeds eventually harvest. "I AM MY HAIR ..Curly.Kinky,Wavy,Straight...but always healthy!" is a hair tour launched for this summer. It is the first one in years that I have done out of town.I have traveled to CA,TX,SC,CT,NY years ago to do several clients at a time but I have been keeping it local in Atl for a while now.I am so excited about this tour because I truely love educating clients about hteir hair, hair,and style options. I also enjoy pampering those who need it.As women, moms,sisters,daughters we rarely take time out for ourselves. We rush, rush, rush our hair, nails and beauty treatment process. I live by the motto if Mama not happy then noboby is happy.This tour is someting that I am creating to be a reoccuring event.Once a year I want it to be huge like a spa weekend geteay that comes to you.
So stay tuned for updates on the tour and if we are coming to your city.
Until Later
