Whew it's week 10 already? Here goes:

WEEK 10 - DOIN' THE TWIST PART DEUX

I used a loose elastic and put my hair into a low ponytail. I parted the base of the ponytail above the elastic, looped my ponytail up and through the part and let the ends hang free. It formed kind of a bun with a little tail. Then I popped on a flower so I could be like the lovely flower ladies all through this thread!

Loving this style, it looks great on you. Defn. need to get me some flowers.....

WEEK 11 - WORLDS OF CURLS

I can't believe I forgot about this style, it was one of my staples. Basically a wet set with curls hanging in the front and a french roll in the back. Usually it's a lot fuller but I used larger rollers so it's more of a wave.

So cute! Do you rollerset your whole hair of just the sides and the tips or the french roll???
Off topic: I'm curious to see your relaxer results........you might be MBL

Love these last looks! Beautiful. Keep em coming.

I rolled my entire head this time. I have been experimenting lately with pony tail sets and they are awesome! The curls are loose because I used huge rollers. It's okay if you want the curls to hang lower, but it doesn't work as well if you want the curls to last several days.

I doubt I'm MBL, but I sure would be happy!!!!!

 

[Butterfly08]

I'm going to post the new week's style tomorrow!

 

[hairdrama:{]

This is the other (I call it reversed) French braid. I did it on straightened hair so it looks silkier comparing it to the one I did last week on air dried hair; although my hair was kind of messy already by the time I took these pictures.


Reversed French Braid:

 

[MoniintheMiddle]

I will be doing french rolls for the entire duration

 

[wavezncurlz]

hairdrama - that reverse french braid brings back memories. I wore this style the whole time I was in school. And as I recall, my hair grew like mad. thanks for the trip down memory lane. I'll be using this hairstyle more often.

Yes, I used to do it more often as well, so now I'm revisiting my good ole styles, I love it, it's very "protective", that is something I like about braids, hair stays moisturized all day and when I take it down I love the soft waves I get from it.......

I remember this style. We called it something else though! It looks really nice on you!

I'm behind again with the style of the week so I will just post 2 on Thursday. I have one that I need to download but I'll wait and do both at the same time.

Keep the styles comin' ladies!

Week 12 (yes I'm 2 weeks behind ): Spring Flowers:

I let my hair air dry, twisted up into a french roll and let the ends free. Then I added a flower.
I am 19 weeks post, almost 20!!! Perming this Saturday! :woohoo:

WEEK 13: STICK A FLOWER ON IT AGAIN!

I promise I'll have some better styles for the next few weeks!

If you have a boring ole bun, just stick a flower on it to liven it up. I found tons of great ones at the DOLLAR TREE! I got orange and purple but plan to go back for red, hot pink and white.

I like the first bun. How did you do it? I like the fact that the ends are protected.

 

[Asia Part II]

Thanks! You remember topsy tail from back in the day? Basically an inside-out pony tail? That's what I did. Then I tucked the ends up and under and pinned them. Excuse the lopsidedness. I fixed it after I took the pic, but didn't have time to take another. I also tried this with braiding the ends before I tucked them under. That wasn't bad, either.

 

[donewit-it]

Yeah I remember. I used to have one.
