Hi All -

Its been awhile. Life has been keeping me extremely busy. BUT(!), I just wanted to share a few updos i was able to create to go along with the look i was trying to achieve for all the events i had up an comin in this month of July. I wasnt able to go and get my hair done professionally so i did the best that i could myself. I was a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding on July 8th (Congratulations Tamarah!), and i had two other dressy events i had to get dolled up for. Im still new at styling my hair so this was a challenge for me. Nonetheless i was pleased how it turned out and i just wanted to share my results. I was not able to take pictures of all my actual hair styles. Instead i have a few pictures from these occasions that i hope will suffice.

I had to spend several hours on youtube lol and just playin around in my hair daily trying to create my desired look. And for the wedding I think it turned out great. I was very proud of myself. Ive always went and gotten my hair done for weddings in the past and HATED it. I knew what i wanted this time around, and i didnt feel like paying an arm an leg to have someone jack my hair up and not give me what i really wanted. So i was so proud that i was able to pull it off myself. I wish i had gotten more pics of my actual hairstyle, but the day was so crazy and hectic this will have to do. :drunk:

If your curious on how it all turned out together there are a few pictures in my "Go With The Fro" album on my Fotki page (listed in my siggy) as well. Thanks for letting me share. Have a wonderful day everyone! :yep:
 
Very pretty! both you and your hair
I like that "southern tease" bun, it looks great and not only for special occasions
 
Your hair is stunning!!! I do not blame you for having a stylist do this. You did such a beautiful job on your own! :)
