the video

okay, i reviewed the video and realized something....my camer does not record very well so it is kind of blurry and not as light as i would have liked....so i may post snippets of the video to show before and after, but i am gonna do another video with my computer so it is clearer. lol

Work!

I worked on the wig! So these are some new pictures of it! Isn't it cute????

I know it is not perfect yet....and some ppl said it looks like a wig still. I know! I'm gettin there!

I need to take down some of the volume on the sides, but lord, we lucky the bang dont look a hot mess lol, i will figure that out eventually.

Anywho, for this still be my first wig and my first time cutting any type of hair, i think it looks pretty good! Funny thing is, the fullness is probably how my hair would look in this style cuz it is so thick. Remember the red from last year before the first cut? Very voluminous. I pulled the front flatter and it was cuter, so it is a little more about smashing it down a little than real cutting. At lest for the sake of not messing it up, :)

I also tried it with one of those net thingys, it was cute. So maybe if i am uncomfy with the full volume, i'll where it with that. I liked it. And right after i took it off, the wig was flatter, and looked better. I think the bigg thing too is my hair! even with the wig cap, my hair is kind of big. So when i push down on my hair, it flattens out. I wish i could cornrow lol! or at least flat twist. I'll figure that out i guess.

VIDEO COMING TOMORROW!




I worked on the wig!

Nicki Minaj Wig!!!!

That's what I am calling my first wig lol! cuz everything i am bout to do to it is very much like her hair.

The bang

The color

I found a video on cutting a bang, so I know how to do that.

I want to buy a 1/4 or 1/2 pack of blonde so I can dye it (rinse it) pink or purple or both. And i will insert the 2 dyed track in the back on the under layer so i can pull them forward when i want to :)

Pictures soon!

Tyra Banks/Joy Bryant

Too happy i didn't care to try to see Tyra debut her "natural hair", lol! I just knoew it would be anticlimatic!!! Her heart was in the right place but how u gon have a relaxer talkin bout love your natural hair? smh!

Joy Bryant came out with a blog like a sarcastic ode to her weave. And one of the hair blogs i read i follow on twitter and FB....her and other subscribers were saying how they felt sorry for Joy Bryant and her insecurities.

Did we read different blogs? They say they got the sarcasm but read between the lines....i think they added between the lines. She talked about loving being able to switch it up. Duh! that's why ppl love them. Please beleive if i could afford them or had more money to make more wigs, i would be rockin them all the time! well not really but like often. Cuz i could be short and natural one day, long and straight the next without damaging my hair.

I personally like wigs more. Cuz I can easily get to my hair. I can wash it, moisturize it, then throw on a cap put the wig on and done.

I had a sew-in once and i wasn't feelin it. It didnt look bad but my hair didnt blend 100% with the hair cuz of color issues and length and humidty....which let's remove length and call it humidity cuz that was what was causing my hair to stick up. And then i never was a fan of cornrows.

I love how cute they are but after a couple days the cute goes away as i remember i cant easily stratch my head! ugh!

So I am more of a wig girl now that i learned how to make my own wigs.

But i just feel like a lot of women aren't open minded. They are either ultra relaxer, ultra natural. And very few of us fall in the middle where we understand it all!

I relaxed my hair last year for a new months and realized very fast that i was no longer into them and cut it off. I know i love my natural hair and don't want to harm it by straightening it too much. Also, when u straighten often your hair gets used to it and won't curl up after a while. I like my fro!

Full weaves are expensive and alot of ppl cant do them good. Plus the itchiness lol for me anyway.

So i am def a wig girl in the making!

Just need more money so i can afford more hair to make more wigs :D

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!

lol, i didn't do the video yet. Sorry! i was out of town and had alot going on this week. So perhaps next week, i will.

I so need to go get it trimmed though, i think i will do a before and after trim video/pictures, so yeah.

I am going to shampoo it this week to try to make more of this rinse wash out because I just want it out lol!

Oh and i am gonna cut my wig, with a bang cuz i wanna wear it for Halloween. I am gonna be a "Wizardary School Girl" so it would had too the nerdy if i have a bang lol! So cute!

one week

In 4 days it will be my anniverary! September 22, 2008, i cut off my hair after i had it relaxed for a few months trying to have a change and then realized i in fact was not a relaxer girl anymore lol!

So on that date, my hair was the extra low cut i love love love. I had pictures on my old phone, but if u look at any previous posting with my ultra low cut, thats what i had. Since then i have only had trims, not cutting! And it will be a whole 365 days of continuous growth!!!!!!!

I was considering picking it out today but i think i will wait until then. I think before i pick it out, i will flat iron a couple areas, cuz lord knows i dont feel like doing it all. But i might do a couple areas. If not, i will still pic it out for a good fro pic and I will also post photos of me pulling it straight in significant areas with postings of my hair straight before to show the length.

I am so excited

But i have had the itch to cut it. to prevent that, i am looking into ideas for new styles i could get when i get a job and get some money to keep up stuff.

In the mean time, i can start rocking my wig cuz it is getting cooler!

I am gonna see if I can get some more hair to do a new wig. If I am able to get the hair, i will be cutting the wig i have so it has a bang. I said before that it is a little thin near the swoop separating point so i would have to add hair. but if i keep it straight and just cut a bang, it is full enough.

I am still a broke student, so for real if my mom or anyone asks what i want for christmas/graduation, i will say money for hair! lol! and i will be down at the hair store, buying some more hair. I'll get a half bag of blonde too, so that i can rinse strips of it different colors and put them into my wigs when i want to! If i am able to cut this wig with a bang, it will def be Nicki Minaj inspired with color on the under layers.

I'll do a new post of styles i want to create with wigs....so my new hobby!

Big hair

My hair is still growing, getting bigger.

I have not deep conditioned in like 2 weeks and am so paranoid lol. I will finally have time tomorrow. So i will def do the 12 hour sitting. I'll also plan to pick it out, so i may have pictures to put with the ones from last time i picked it out in like June or something?

I have knots, ugh! i try to snip but i think it is just time for a real trim!
