I'm partying tomorrow night wish me luck.

[Mook's hair]

OK, I am taking this natural hair for a party run.
Tomorrow night I'm going to a party in Atlantic City.
Here's the Kicker. It's at a state of the art indoor pool where they keep the temperature a constant 86 degrees; and its a bit humid in there too.

I will be sporting a Braidout which will surely transform into a 4B Fabulishious FRO starting from the moment I enter the room.

I will take photos for ya'll. This should be fun. I hope its not a disaster.
I plan to take some extra hair accessories in my purse (knowing that by the second hour I may have to turn it into a puff).

These are the cornrows that will turn into the braidout.
Click me to see the Pic.

Do ya'll have any other suggestions for me. I want to get the input today so that I can make preparations.

Good luck! Your hair is gonna look fab!

I don't think you need luck, your hair always looks great.

I do need you to take me with you to the party. LOL

My DH and I are going to stay at that hotel next month.

 

[Mook's hair]

Thanks ladies.
Bumping to see if I can get any suggestions or tips.

LUCK!

If you have Sabino MB I would use that to minimize the freak-out effect you're anticipating...but I think you will be fine. Have fun!

When I go out I always stash some good day hair pins, and a scarf headband in case I need to slap the do into a quick bun.

ETA: I'm really mad at my lack of cornrowing skills right now. NO FAIR. Do you have to look in the mirror to make your parts or are you just naturally gifted?

 

[Bigghair]

Have fun! Your hair will like the humidity.

 

[Dposh167]

well whatever you end up using to fight the frizz....please keep us posted. Cuz if your hair can withstand that.....then my hair can withstand a club. and i've been shopping around for a new product to help with frizz for when i go out

Usually I don't have to look in the mirror at all, unless I'm doing something very fancy. I just do it by feel at this point and I'll look in the mirror if I feel like I've made a jagged part.

Thanks.

Good luck, I can't wait to see how it turns out! Definitly take a scarf or ouchelss headband, along with a brush. You can just pull it back into a puff and brush the edges a bit if things get out of hand.

 

[anon123]

Is it tonight? Bring a headband and flower so you can put it in a puff if it turns into something you don't like. But I'm betting it will look really good!

Can't wait for 17th!

 

[Candycane044]

Mooks your hair will look fine even if it decides to frizz out! Your hair looks great no matter what!

 

[Highly Favored8]

Loving the hair. You will look good.

 

[oooop2]

You'll look cute w/ your braidout fro...Definitely throw some hair accessories in your bag. It's amazing w/ a simple flower clip/funky scarf can do...Have fun!!!

Well, last night was the party. It wasn't humid in there at all. And the temperature was moderate.
My hair was big and pretty. I know you are gonna scream at me but when I pulled out my camera to take photos...No flash card. Doh!
But I took some photos today. even though it doesn't look as good because I've been messing with it and I slept on it. Here they are. I got several positive comments. Men like the smell of Mango Butter. I learned that; lots of hair sniffers.

Love the style Mook!

 

[ladytee2]

Mook you are brading queen. Do you have any youtube tutorial? Braiding for dummies or something?

 

[nikki2229]

Your hair looked nice. Which mango butter did you use? Elasta QP or pure mango butter? Did you trim your relaxed ends yet? I hardly see any in your new photos on fotki.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

C'mon, Mook, you're the hair guru. You don't NEED luck. You will look so good that everyone will be pointing and whispering.:wink2:

 

[Leeda.the.Paladin]

Ooh it's SO gorgeous and lush! I'm glad it turned out well!! Great definition!!

 

[Mook's hair]

Mook you are brading queen. Do you have any youtube tutorial? Braiding for dummies or something?

I use the Elasta QP kind. But I always twist off the cap in the store to make sure its soft, creamy & fresh before I purchase.

Ladies. I'm natural now. I quietly did my Edward Scissorhands move early this morning.

Transition - From April 17 2007 through April 17 2009.
