Hair Sticks

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 how to make a simple french roll and I figured I'd give it a shot. I tried the french roll yesterday morning. It took me less than 10 minutes to do the french roll and it came out good. I think I have about 6 hair pins in my hair and the style held all day yesterday. I wrapped it with a doorag last night and it help up perfectly!

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.

New Addition to the Family

Hubby and I adopted a dog from a local kill shelter last Thursday. He is a 2 year old Rat Terrier and his name is Zeus. He is a little underweight at 9.1lbs, but we'll fatten him up a little.

New Color

So I decided I would dye my hair a little darker. Now it is warm mocha.

Here is a photo after a fresh wash. It's also getting longer and I am loving the length!

I decided to get my Locs styled...the style came out great.

Freshly washed locs

I dyed my hair again last week. I love the Dark and Lovely line of hair dye. This time I went with Golden Bronze. I'll post pictures of my new color ASAP.

Another Style

I spent the day with my honey and decided to go with a new style.

I found this style on a youtube...it took less than 10 minutes.

I added a few shells to my longest locs for decoration (you can't see them in the photo).

This was a quick, easy, cute style...

Pipe Cleaner Curls

 

I took the pipe cleaners out of my hair. Above are picture of what my hair looked like on day one. It is candy curlish. The curls in the back are not as tight as I had hoped for, but I like them. I'm pretty sure I'll try this style again in the future.

<---- This is what my hair looked like on day 2.

Pipe Cleaners

I have been checking out a lot of blogs out there and quite a few people have talked about curling their hair with pipe cleaners. I figured I'd try curling my hair with pipe cleaners to see how I like it. I washed and rolled my hair with the pipe cleaners and I'll post pictures of what it looks like. I'm going to sit under the dryer for an hour or so. I'll post some after pictures tomorrow.

I washed and briaded my hair back and stuck it in a ponytail for a few days.

This is what my hair looked like when I took the braids out.

I took a minute and a clip, then I was out of the house.

New Style

It took me like 45 minutes to do this style because I braid pretty slowly. I brided the front and put the back in a bun. This style should last about a week before I take it down.

LENGTH UPDATE

I am sooooooooooooo trying to do better about posting on a more regular basis. I got my locks re-tightened to day. My hair is getting long but the back is very uneven...I'm thinking about trimming it to even it out. I've been locked a little over 3 year. My permed ends were cut at the 2 year mark and I gave up about 3 or 4 inches...I'm sure if I want to cut them again or just let them do their thing.


Here are a few photos of my length.

I'm going to try a couple styles for church in the morning and I'll see what I come up with.
