SALVAGED ROLLERSET

After my epic fail, I had to salvage my hair some kind of way. So my friend (who also had an epic failed set) suggested I pin curl it. I really didn't want to. I wanted to complain and mope and grope, but after a while I just whatever and pin curled it. Turned out okay actually.

(Sorry so fuzzy)

What do you think? Did I salvage my horrendous hair moment?

EPIC FAIL...AGAIN

Thoroughly inspired by this, I decided to give it one more go... I put 110% into it, I took my time did my DC the night before, I mean I was ready! I was determined to get this thing straight and........ well you can tell from the title what happened :..................(

The result:

EPIC FAIL!!!

Sooooo this is where I need your help. I have NO idea why this didn't work out. I swore my hair was completely dry (I watched 4 episodes of SATC), put EVOO on it before I wrapped it up and everything...IDK. I quit...well til tomorrow. I have GOT to get this thing straight. HELP!!! SOS!!!!!

PRODUCT TESTIMONIAL: LINDSAY

For all the Naturalites who are busting a serious sweat...this is for US!

"At Sallys Beauty Supply, I found a line called Dri Sweat. It's used for puting your hair up when working out. The headband that I got was Edge Women's Active Wear Headband in Black. I found that there was no extra sweat build up in my hair and kept my hair pretty dry and straight. Love it!! Also they have a cap to put on over your whole head."

Browsing the net, they have these all over the place including Walgreens. They sell for around $4 which is a steal!

Thanks Lindsay!!

NOTSO EDGY TWIST OUT

I was totally inspired by this video, but as you can see it's not as edgy as I would have liked, but it still worked out (after I fluffed a little more at work).

Happy Styling!!

I ALWAYS have the hardest time making my rollersets turn out even half way decent with my Natural hair, but upon seeing this video and subsequent pics- I am inspired.

NATURAL HAIR RULES

Hey guys! Saw this and thought it'd be good to share. What do you think? What are some of your Natural Hair Rules?

SWITCH!

{Source}

Hey y'all! After having my trim {insert sad face}, I've concluded I need to switch up my regimen. But my question is why didn't I recognize this before? I definitely could tell my hair was going through a phase of some sort, but why didn't it trigger me to take a step back and look at what I was doing to my hair? *stumped* I think I was in denial and caught up in the length. I will admit, I am semi-obsessed with length....but if it's damaged why hold on to it??

Here's the HARD lesson I've learned:

Your regimen has to be able to address your hair needs at any given moment in time. You have to be flexible and intuitive enough to know when it's time for a change. There are so many factors such as hairstyles, eating habits, and stress level that affect our hair that if we're not careful will damage our crowns of glory. For instance, if you rock twists a lot, that will require a different level of maintenance and product usage than a W&G. You should be constantly assessing the effectiveness of your hair maintenance routine.

However, your hair can get used to products, this is when you really know it's time to switch it on up. Sometimes you need to give it a little shock therapy.

What say you good people, how do you know when you need to change your regimen? And just b/c I'm nosey what do you do? Do you automatically give up the conditioner and a get a sulfate free 'poo or what?

BUN'D UP

I've never actually tried to do a bun before for fear of me not having enough hair...SO WRONG!! I was looking for a quick style I could do in 20 mins. or less and came across this vid...

Ok, so I know she did a high bun, but mine didn't work out so well lolol I don't even know why...I think I was tripping, but anyway here's the finished product w/a flower of course:

What ya think? I was proud of myself for it being my first time *CHEERS - GO ME*

COLOR COLOR COLOR

Hey guys!! Sooooooo I've decided to color my hair (I say this every year around my birthday, lol) but I have NO clue what color to go with. I've had red or something in the red family every time I've gotten my hair colored and want to try something different, but don't know what. *decisions decisions*

I'm pretty simple, so I'm thinking something in the brown/copper family. I may even just go with highlights. *here comes my indecisiveness* Then again, I do want something with a little interest....IDK.

What say you good people? What color should I try this go round?

And YES I still consider myself Natural! So don't get to tripping out on me please lolol :)
