HELP Ladies! I need date hair in a HURRY!

[Ms. Alainious]

Hi Ladies!

I have a BIG problem.

I have a date tonight , and my hair is jacked!

It was a cute spiral set...but then I exercised. I thought I'd be able to salvage it, but this morning it was

I'm 9 weeks post relaxer.

I bought some flexi rods last night, and I'm thinking these might be my best bet for quick sexy hair. But can I get my hair together using these in under an hour (having never used them before)?

Do I need to wash my hair to use these, or can I just dampen with a spray bottle?

Please chime in with some suggestions ladies !

Thanks!

u could do a wet braid out u kno like do a cowash then braid it then take them out moisturize i dunno do u even like braidouts but thats all i can think of now sorry

 

[Ms. Alainious]

Thanks for the reply.

I thought about a braid out...maybe that's a better idea than curls.

I'm just nervous because I dont have any room for error....and my braidouts don't usually turn out that well when I have lot of time to do them!

I'm going to check youtube and see if I can get any ideas.

Maybe you could leave your hair in a french braid, messy bun, etc. That way he can see the beauty in your face

You can use the flexi rods on dry hair, I used to do that all the time, and it'll only take about 30 minutes or so to set. Maybe add a dab of a light oil to the ends so your hair won't be frizzy.

Hope you have a good time!

Yes, I think these will be very nice options. They are classy too.

I've been rocking a pony/bun for a few weeks now, and i think it looks OK with my work clothes and causal looks...but not for a date. I don't go on many dates, so I'm kinda giddy about this one and I wanna look great. I feel like i only look good with my bun.

Plus I probably watch too much 'Millionaire Matchmaker', where she's always tell the girls to have straight hair for dates...

I agree that they are classy...just dont think they look good on me and my Tyra forehead!

^^^Maybe you could try this and do a half up do. Whatever you decide to do with your hair shouldn't matter. Decide to have a good time!

Thanks ladies!

I think I'm going to try the flexi rods and probably pin up one side. I think this hairdo will have enough personality to go with my outfit.

I'm watching youtube vids for technique...man I wish I could leave work early to do my hair!

Im not usually this caught up with my hair (could be lying since i'm an LHCFer ), but I've never been out with this kind of guy before. I dont really subscribe to the superficial 'hollywood' behavior of the entertainment industry, but I do want to be in Hollywood bringing my A game and looking fab.

How was your hair when he met you? Maybe you could do a copycat of that day.

 

[Ms. Alainious]

It was straight. I'm not so good with the flat iron, so I knew I couldnt get it this way in time to meet him.

Can you rollerset and wrap for a nice straight look?

 

[Ms. Alainious]

Can you rollerset and wrap for a nice straight look?

I can, but at 9 weeks post, its only a matter of MINUTES before my roots puff up and take control ...plus i have less than 90 minutes to do my hair and get ready, so with a roller set I'd definitely be pushing it!

Just curious, what kind of guy is he?

 

[Ms. Alainious]

the 'creative' type...he's heavy in the entertainment industry, and I'm a chemical engineer...

Maybe add some fresh flowers?

Maybe add some fresh flowers?

That's something I hadn't thought of...

I'll see what kind they have outside my building on my way out (I dont have a yard, and if I did, I still doubt I'd have any flowers there!)

I wonder if I can get fired for stealing flowers from work...lol
