Happy Holidays

I just wanted to take this time to wish all of my friends a wonderful holiday season.  Be blessed my friends!

Last Wash and Hair Update

Just wanted to share some pics from my last wash and length check (my hair is at line 9). I dyed my hair with Loreal's Healthy Creme Gloss Color in "Cool Chestnut Brown."  I was really pleased with the color.  I styled my hair in pin curls and later put it up in a bun.

Hair Cuff Update

I finally ended my 38 week stretch on October 27, 2012.  I think I may have accidentally texlaxed, but I love the texture of my hair.  Originally I was planning to stretch for 6 months, but got busy and ended up going longer.  I learned this stretch that I could go even longer because I've figured out what my hair likes and needs during long stretches.  I decided to cut my thin ends about two weeks before I relaxed, so I went from MBL back to under my bra strap.  At first I wasn't sure how I felt about losing the length, but after I saw how thick and healthy my ends looked I was pleased.  Since I know that my hair can grow to MBL it was no big deal to start over with fresh ends.  I didn't flat iron after this touch up, so I'll post pics of my length next wash.  Here are pics of the hair cuff that I got from Nadege over at http://relaxedhairhealth.blogspot.com/

Thank You Nadege!!!

Spring and Summer Protective Style

My birthday was on Wednesday and I decided to do a style that I wore quite often before I started my hair journey.  This was a protective style (but at the time I didn't really know that lol)! I used to wear my hair like this especially in the summer when it was too hot for a ponytail or to wear my hair down.  The humidity and temperatures in MO can be quite something to deal with. 

In this particular pic I wanted a thicker bun, so I braided the extension hair in a thick, long braid and wrapped around my braid.  If I want it to be thinner, I just separate a smaller portion of braid hair and do exactly the same thing.  Sometimes I add hair candy to it.  I got lots of compliments on this style and it was quite cool for a spring day!!!  I think this is gonna be my go to style for the Sunday's we have picnic/church outside.  Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day my friends!!!
