Cute New Hairstyle

LOVINGGGGG my new hair!!! Never did try to upload the video again because was too lazy. Made nother but yeah, need to edit it. So this is my new style....inspired by the one below!!!!!

Had my friend do the braids, so my whole head is braided going toward the direction of the ponytail. It is a drawstring kinky afro ponytail.

Differences:

Me: $10.00 drawstring ponytail smaller, less full......synthetic hair

Her: $250, not sure what kind of of weave it is but it is human kinky....like i dont know if it is drawstring or what.

I got this done 5 days ago, and i am trying...TRYING to keep it 2 weeks at least. I have a very dry scalp so it is itchy. I try to moisturize my scalp every day or 2 but still itchy like under the braids. Anywho, I want to try to get new braids every 2 weeks. 

I want to redo this style but lower because the ponytail is a little high and short but i still like it. But not on the same side, I am gonna switch sides so both sides get the same thing done to them. 

I like it alot though, and it am able to leave my hair alone better. No cutting or coloring!!!! Yea!!!! So I should do good. I think i am just gonna kind of continuously do this for bout 3 months (til July) then i will do a rest period and check my growth and all. Then keep it braided up again until October, and check my progress. It will be the warm months so i have to do it because these are the months where i generally will cut my hair off or try a new color. But yeah, so gotta find some more styles but for now i will keep rocking this one.

I really like the ponytail, i want to find some more ponytails though. This was my first drawstring ponytail ever!!! Yea!!!

I am oiling it using an applicator bottle that has ORS olive oil lotion mixed with some Parnevu Tea Tree Oil I had, it makes it easy. I just squeeze it onto my scalp and then rub it in between all the braids then i go back and rub it on the braids and on my edges.

MArch Update....video!

Made a video but these  things load so slow....idk why....so will do later....

i discuss my hair growth! It is roughly where it was when it was straight in june...looks like a short mushroom cut....it will be cute as a long one in October! Yea!!!!

Gonna try coil outs, twistouts, and braids to help with the growth!

Still plan to wait to color and straighten til October. Still plan on doing the blonde so I can rinse any color I want after that with my black. So excited about my growth!

Will post the video later today promise!

The Keri Hilson pic is of the style i am refering to in the video....the longer mushroom....that is also about the length i hope my hair is by then. I like it because it is versitile. You can wear it like that or you can change up the front for swoops and such. Kind of will let me cheat and have a bang!

As for the color pattern....I think i am just gonna go in a do it like randomly....like not have a set pattern like the front of the back or whatever, i am just gonna do what I feel cuz I want it to look good in a fro, and i want it to be kind of random not calculated. We will see.... I gotta get a highlight cap thing cuz i usually do my whole head.

But yeah, SO THE 2 pics of me above Keri are old from last summer....but like thats bout where my hai is when I pull it out! So it is actually growing a little better than i thought. Cuz like that was 7 months and this now is 6 months....haha, one month less. Soooooo 6 months, is twice of what is on my head now, that should be keri length even if it dont grow faster during the warmer months!!!!!

LONG HAIR DON'T CARE....YEAAAAAA! 

March Hair

I know i have been slacking off... i have been busy. So in a little bit I will go wash my hair and detangle and take photos. I never did before, so now i can't really tell how much my hair has grown, lol! So yeah will be doing that.

I detangled the other day and not much hair came out on the comb, that was good! So i think i am good on that. Not much shedding. But i have been stressed out so my hair is probably not growing like it should. I may have to get some biotin to help it along. Prefer not to cuz vitamins tend to do weird stuff for me. lol! We will wait and see. Otherwise, I have not changed much. I just try to stick with my plan. My hair seems to be doing well. It has been itching more lately, so hopefully that is growth and not dryness. I am gonna have to start applying moisturizer to my scalp at night since i dont apply it directly anymore. I just put the gel and mix in my hand and pull it through from root to ends. So yeah.  Anywho, will be back with photos. 

I have a friend whose hair looks great! I want mine to look like hers! It is so long! But she didn't cut hers for a whole year, lol. I have 7 months to go. Ugh and my hair is still so short! I gotta relax so it can grow like i want it to. 

Oh also, i need to get stain pillow cases....because it gets hot in my room at night and wearing that bonnet does not help. At all....I feel like i am on fire sometimes it is so hot up there. like i was stuck in a oven while i was sleep! So yeah, i gotta work on that Because oh it is not working.

7 months left.....AHHHHHHHHHH. Lol....that means in 2 months i will get that itch to cut it. I already got the itch to color it, but i have been resisting because I know i can't until it is the amount i want. I hope all the cutting has not messed me up. Ppl always say that if you keep it short it wont grow....i hope that is a myth cuz i was cuttin like crazy. 7 month...october......oh Lord!
