Faux Bun

New "go to" look. The hair is synthetic, and blends so well with my hair texture! Score!

Bun Season

It's November, and this marks my 1 1/2 year anniversary. I can now wear my "own" hair in a bun. Progress!!

Flexi Rods

I bought some flexi rods and tried them out on my straightened hair.

Time to straighten!

It's month 17, October!

I had my twists in since the end of June. I took them out and decided to flat iron my hair now that it's Fall...it will last longer w/less humidity. I've been thinking about being a "straight natural". I like it because it's easier to maintain. Cheers to growth!

Retwisted

So I decided to retwist my Marley twists. They are shorter now I reused the same hair. I used curling rods to curl the ends,  dipped them in steaming hot water and voila!

Marley twists

Its month 14. I've been wearing my natural hair for a few months now. Now it's time for a protective style. I'm in love!!!

Afro? Not quite

So, now that my twa has grown, I've been teeter tottering over the idea of wearing my hair as an afro...twist out afro, that is. I absolutely love the look on others, but on me? Not so much. I feel that my face is too elongated for this look, plus I'm used to the "my hair being pulled up" look. I'm inching my way there, though. I decided to wear an afro, but with a headband..lol. My goal is to wear my hair..with no help. No hair ties, head bands..etc. 

In due time..in due time..
