Hubby and I went out for the night. I did a quick cute style and we were out of the door. I braided the front in 5 braids then put the back in a bun. I posted a smilar style in 2010. The only real diference this time is my bun is much larger and I used a thin net to round my bun instead of a scrunchie.
I love my new color. :) I am really starting to get some length too. My next retighten is next week. I will post some photos of my length after the retighten.
I tried a new dye tonight. I was a little nervous because I normally use the Dark and Lovely band hair dyes. The dye is Clairol Balsam color. The dye was actually MUCH cheaper than Dark and Lovely and I'd heard from a few people that it was a great product. The color is medium bronze brown. So far it looks a little darker than I expected, but it is still soaking wet...we'll see in the morning. I will post some photos tomorrow. :)
I put my hair in a high ponytail, but I left out a few locs in the front (on the left and right side of my head). I then crisscrossed the hair that was loose and wrapped the ends around my ponytail holder. I was done and out the door in 5 minutes. :)
I am a Youtube hair video sytle stalker. Lol. I love to watch differen loc videos and attemp the styles. This style was quick and very simple. I think I may have taken me 10 or 15 minutes to do. I washed my hair then braided it while it was wet. I put the braids in a high ponytail. Then I wrapped the locs (some going forward and some going backwards) around my ponytail holder and mad a bun. Then I stuck a shell in it and I was out the door.
I ordered a few hair sticks on Ebay. They were not was expensive as I thought they would be and they look fantastic!
I saw a video on YouTube with this style. I parted the front of my hair into a 4 sections (left, right, center, and back). and I did a basket weave for the left, right, and center sections. I then pulled the 3 sections back and used the loose hair in the back and did a basket weave in the back. I think it came out pretty good.
