beautiful and so thick
beautiful and so thick
Um....
Where's the SWANG?
I posted my hair goal in my siggy without really having an idea how long my hair was it had been so long since I'd straightened, so I guess my new goal is MBL blunt....but I'm very much satisfied with where I'm at right now
Hahahahaaaa I really don't know how ppl do those gifs wit their hair swingin but I'll do a 30 second vid of my hair swangin and b like this is dedicated to smartypants! lolUm....
Where's the SWANG?
I'll ask my dad, he's the one that gutted and remodeled our house so he'd knowGorgeous hair!!! And I love your bathroom tile. Is that tumbled travertine?
lmfao! too funnyLol I want to see the swang in action too!
But I'm sort of scared the glory of it might make folk start hyperventilating and fainting and mess.
I love it when its pinned up too! I feel so free but it's getting harder and harder to pin up lately I guess I gotta start using more clips....I so love the Pin up look! your hair is beautiful!!!
Umm I guess I can kinda claim BSL?Nice fluff! I aim to keep my hair thick too after my flat iron sessions. So what length are you claiming-- BSL (bra strap length)?? MBL or midback length is below bra strap length by 3-6 inches i believe.
Thank ya kindly I use the regular ole black con air ceramic flat iron you can get from the pharmacy for like $40....it works fine but its a few yrs old so I'm lookin for a new one. As long as its ceramic and has multiple heat settings, you're goodYour hair looks beautiful. What flat iron do you use?
Neither, I just twist the flat iron to create the curls.Pretty How did you curl the ends with rollers or a curling iron?
Actually....yes I was!!! lolWhere you on the LIRR this morning.. I swear I saw a girl with Hair just like yours today!! And I thought to my self how nice!!
Anyways it looks nice and so thick, yummy
lmao! WOW small world indeed!! Yea don't be afriad to say hi if we do cross paths again.OMG! What a small world! Honeychild your hair STOOD out like a sore thumb girl.. it was so thick and nice!! especially to a fellow LHCF member.. I would have said something, but you were on the platform, I was actually on the train headed to Penn! I'll keep an eye out for you now!
Lol I want to see the swang in action too!
But I'm sort of scared the glory of it might make folk start hyperventilating and fainting and mess.
My hurr got that SWANG again!!!
Hey yall, so I was tired of the pixies after having them in 3 1/2 weeks they looked fine but I was overdue for a trim and ready to see my true length so I took em down. I tend to only leave "long term styles" in for three weeks max before I'm bored and ready to switch it up
The crimped effect is actually really cute....I would've left it like this had it not been for the accumulated dead hair hidden in there lol
The Pixies held up wonderfully and had surprising unanticipated benefits to my hair that I noticed after the takedown. I anticipated the length retention but I didn't anticipate the increase in thickness....**I'll get into that in more depth on my blog post on this** (anyone can comment!)
Anywhoo here's what I did:
- Pre-Pooed generously with EVOO
- Braided the hair in eight sections
- Went to the sink nourishspa poo and condish in hand put the poo only on my scalp and used the SPECTACULAR condish for detangling *incredible slip!* on my hair and GENTLY detangled.
- Rebraided as I went then put and GENEROUS amount of LeKair Cholesterol throughout my hair with a bit of aphogee 2 minute keratin reconstructer Deep conditioned under the dryer for 35 minutes then rinsed out
- Sprayed my hair with a leave-in I didnt like lol (I would usually use ic fantasia aloe liquid leave in for dry damaged hair dilluted 1-5 ) and began to blow dry my hair braid by braid with a very moderately powered blow dryer.
- Took my ceramic flat iron and alternated between 360 and 395 tending more toward 360 (I decided to do only moderate heat tonight)
- Voila! Swingin Swangin hair!!!
***Much more detail and pictures have been posted on my blog including a texture shot and pix of my hair blown out**
