My New Kinky Weave (Of Course Pic HEAVY)

Ediese said:
You guys already know how I do with the pics.:grin::grin:

I just wanted to share pics of my RHO/AAMH kinky install. Please read this before asking questions. I'm going to try to try to address all questions here.

Specs: RHO Old Kinky (realhairexclusive.com) 5 pieces (3 - 16", 2 - 20")
AAMH - only used two pieces at the top of my head 20" - allaboutmyhair.com. If this hair was just as long as RHO, I would use it instead because it's such a perfect match. I bought 20", but it was way too short.

I colored the hair with Bigen Oriental Black. I did not seal any wefts. I had Shekore from Elevations install my hair. Her contact # is 2817876041. She braided my hair straight back in really small cornrows, and sewed the ends. She left a tiny bit at the top probably 2", and .5 on the sides and back.

I really like my hair. I think I'll get it layered in the front to frame my face better, and trimmed a little. I didn't let her cut it, and she folded the wefts. I'm not use to having hair this long. Since I want my hair to be this long in its natural state, I guess I have to get use to it. :yep: I think that blending it with AAMH worked out well because the RHO isn't that kinky. It has a much looser texture. If you have 4a or 4b hair, you will definitely have to mix it with a coarser/kinkier texture hair for it to blend. In the last pics, I didn't use any product I just wet the hair. This is definitely going to be my summer install. I'm going to start working out, and this is perfect hair for that.

Here are the pics. I have more in my fotki.

I put it in a pony on my way home.


Half up.


Slightly damp no product

Dry hair (haven't tried to define curls yet. It looks like a twist out now because I put it in some twists for bed)

GORGEOUS!!
 
Your hair looks fab- I love it. I had a weave done by Shakore some months back, and she did a really good job. Highly recommend.

Perrrrrfet timing cos I plan on getting my curly install end of June.

Your hair looks lovely as always :yep:

Why did you mix the two textures, instead of using the AAMH alone?

Which brand do you prefer out of RHO, AAMH and the Kinky Kurly you had a few months back.

Thanks! I mixed it because the RHO is not as coarse as the AAMH, and I wanted to wear a long/looser texture kinky this time. The one I had last month was too big for me, and took too much work to detangle. It was even more work than my natural hair. :ohwell: The longest AAMH is 20". When I put it against my nape, it was about APL. I'm 5'9 with a long neck though. I wanted it more like BSL.

I had her put the AAMH at the top so that it would blend in with my 4a hair. The RHO is more like 3c/3b. I think if the AAMH was much longer it would be a perfect texture match for 4a natural hair. However, I really like the RHO because it's much easier to detangle (cowashed this morning), and you can straighten it more easily. Although the AAMH is a perfect match, it's more afroish, takes more work to straighten, and it get's really big. If you like that, it would work for you. I wanted something longer, and with a looser texture this time. I'm planning to straigthen next month.

I just got it installed on Friday, but so far it has been easy. I cowashed this morning, and it looks FABULOUS!! I left some conditioner in the hair, and put a little kinky custard to blend. I then brushed with my denman, and the curls are popping.:yep:

Noir said:
ohhhh ok so the AAMH 20" is too short? Where exactly does the length fall on you?

It's about APL on me.
 
That looks beautiful! It matches so well, I would have never known it was a weave! Just gorgeous!
 
It looks really good! :yep:

I think the layers would look nice too. It looks kind of blunt right now, length-wise, and that's the only thing that would make me suspect that it wasn't all yours. But the color, texture, everything looks great!

You gonna need a bodyguard this summer! :grin:
 
Ediese,

Your hair is amazing! I was thrilled to see a Houston phone number. I will definitely give this lady a call. Your hair is gorgeous!

Oh no, that might not work for me then. Would you say the kinky curly you had last month and the AAMH are similar texture?

Wow 5'9"! I'm 5'3" so the 20 inch AAMH should be fine. I want the length of hair to fall slightly below APL.

Thanks for answering my questions :)
 
Really nice Edise!! Have you ever had a guy question you as to whether that was REALLY your hair or not? If so, what did you say? Or what would you say if you are asked?

I ask because I have a curly half wig and when I wear it it blends. While wearing it this guys asked me if it was mine. To save him the trouble, I just said yeah! :rolleyes: Now, why should he have had to continue perpetuating the stereotype that Black women don't have long hair....even though it wasn't all mine. Im sure some out there has hair as long as my half wig!! :grin::lachen:

Oops...I meant back in January/February. I think they're similiar texture, but the AAMH is better quality and better curls.
