Day 67


please excuse my stank face I am tired. but this is how the hair has progressed through the day/rain. I used Organix Styling Whip on my ends to get more definition and it shows. :D

Day 67


This is a dry braid-n-curl I did after I pulled my hair into a low puff for a few days and it dried that way. Pre-fluff or separating.

Day 65


I need to find a gel with more hold and I’m looking for suggestions and reviews. Any suggestions?
I currently use Fantasia IC gel and Garnier Fructis Curl Scuplting Cream-gel, but the 4a sections of my hair don’t hold as well as the 3c sections. 

Day 64


The updo pics have arrived.

Day 62

I did a few updos these past couple days so pics of those will be up tonight (possibly after midnight). My singing group’s final concert is tonight so I had to look fresh.

Day 60


My hair is still straight and I’m yearning for some curls. I’m going to try and wash it and do a T-n-C tonight. I also need to DC with oil and heat. It is kinda a plus since I’ve been bunning aka protective styling this past week. 
I hop everyone’s Thanksgiving was wonderful :D.

Day 58


Day 58.
I was supposed to go to the hairdresser this ‘break’ but I’ll probably end up going mid-late December to get my roots touched up. I’m so very tired right now, and I have to get up at 7:30a for church, drive back to Richmond, work the game, take singing group pictures, the second to last rehearsal of the semester before the final concert :O, and group meetings for like 4 of my 5 classes.Tomorrow Today might kill me. 
Good night!

Day 54


I’m really sad cause I did an AMAZING style today and I didn’t have time to take pictures. I got mad compliments :D. I’ll try to recreate it soon. It was done on the flat ironed hair below (I braid at night for waves).

The black has kind of faded already, but I got more dye for January (when I will dye it again). 
In case I don’t post much this week, have a happy Thanksgiving :)

Day 52


I also tried the funky retro updo last week from A Curl’s Best Friend and these were my results

Day 52


I used a thermal brush to blowdry my hair and it worked really well for achieving straight ends. I could tell after I had blowdried that it wasn’t going to be the same (of course) as when I got it done at the hairdressers, so I’m going to be wearing it wavy and playing with updos until I go to the hairdresser within the week. When I do go, I’m getting my roots touched up, and my blonde in the front mixed with the red. You can kinda see here how much it’s grown out. The red was to my roots.

This is after blowdrying.

The following are my failed attempts as the retro french braid by A Curl’s Best Friend. I attribute it to my inability to cornrow well.
