Installed a quick weave yesterday to hold me thru a business trip next week, but I despise the hair; made an appt on Monday with a new braider to get kinky twists installed.

I wish I had the time to install a set myself, but I don't.

& I'm still not looking forward to the big reveal. When I think of where my hair should be right now I feel like doing another bc instead of periodic mini chops. On the flip side, due to wigs & weaves I'm really enjoying the look of straight hair on myself & have been considering a relaxer; if my hair wasn't so fine I would have already taken that plunge.
 
:wave: Just saying hello to all. I haven't really snapped many pics lately. Here's some of my recent buns - not sure if I've posted them previously.

I pretty much twirl my hair up in the middle and put a hair stick in it. I can't twirl my hair the same way twice so it's just trial and error each and every time.

Still on the HYH challenge! I'm still in braids and about to wash my hair. I'll keep in these braids for another 2 - 3 weeks and then switch to cornrows or celies under my new lace front wig for a few weeks.

I used a pass for Easter. Well, sorta...I just wanted a smoother bun so I flat ironed it (which was horribly barely passable with my talents) and then still bunned it up. Here's a pic of it but as I said, it's not as straight or glorious as when a professional would do it but it's all I got!

I've been wearing a secured, twisted bun everyday. After cowashing:

1. Use a piece of stocking to secure a ponytail
2. Put open hair into three twists and tuck in ends with small bobby pins
3. Wrap the twisted bun with a plastic conditioning cap
4. Add the foot of a stocking or wig caps (maybe 3 to hide plastic cap completely) to secure the bun
5. Scarf method for sleekness

Midweek, I'll cowash and redo this bun but in a different position. Keeps my ends well moisturized. Sooooo simple. :yep:
 
Been wearing braid outs and puffs lately mixed in with my wigs. Love a little change in the game every now and then.
 
Hello Ladies,

I have been using my CUrlformers and haven't worn a wig in a minute yikes LOL
WHat I am going to do soon is get this hair braided so I can get some relaxtion with sleep LOL

I have cut my hair multiple times and looking at my curlformers it looks like cut time is going to have to happen soon again because it is about 1/2 inch away from the tips :(

I have revamped my goal length to waist only, instead of just letting it do it's thing. It's thing would have me limited and I love using the curlformers so that is no longer an option. It is a decent length and I get to style it!
 
Still in my spring twists:) and loving the simplicity:) and that I am not tempted to just chop my hair off so I don't have to do it:spinning: I am so hair lazy right now it is ridiculous but I know if I chop it off I will be in here :cry:

ETA: So I ended up chopping it off because of my butcher job on some tangles. Surprisingly I aint even sad:spinning: Because I know it is going to grow back longer and thicker

Hey! I'm hiding my hair till June 30th. I'm currently in crochet braids in the style of a curly Afro as my 'fro envy was getting bad LOL.

Will take them down in a month, wash, condition, dust and put it right back up
 
Still in Kinky Twists. Re-did the back Saturday night. Hope I don't need to touch them up before June.
 
Still wearing my twists. I wash once a week and am loving it. Keeping twists in for too long has always been a hassle taking down. Doing it once a week is so much easier and my scalp is happy :grin:
 
TheNDofUO What kind of hair did you use to achieve a fro look?? I'm about to install crochet braids, and I'm afraid this Marley Braid hair I have isn't going to give me the effect I'm looking for. :perplexed
 
I'm wearing two plaits with a part down the middle and satin pillow curlers on the ends. If I must get out, I will remove the curlers and pin the plaits up.

Click to expand...

I used bohemian curlsas they're slightly tighter than water wave

Marley is very tight and most who use it style the hair into twistouts or braids outs for more definition :yawn:
 
Still in senegalese twists. Its the start of my 3rd week with them :)

Yay, i passed my 2-week antsy stage where I wanna rip all the braids out of my head LOL
 
New install - Onyc kinky curl

Sorry for the side photo, it does that when I use my phone app.
 
Just sprayed my scalp and hair with Motions Nourish Leave-in Conditioner
 
I've been hiding my hair in twists. I love the ease of styling I have.
 
I straightened my hair yesterday and I'm ready to wash it out tonight. I'm glad that I did straighten it to trim the ends but yuck to this frizziness.
 
Just took my weave out conditioned it with mane and tail plus a little bit of oil washed with nexxus.

Forgot I had the samara girl half wig I'll be wearing that for the next 2 weeks until I dye my hair for graduation.
