2010 hair!

Video coming about what's been going on and another video about my new hair style! There will be pictures too! Yea!

Oops! Hair update!!!

I had a trip where I needed travel size bottles. So I tried an all garnier fructis process! loved it!!!!

It was the daily fortifying shampoo and conditioner. Then I used the leave-in like normal. And then the sleek and shine styling cream. LOVES IT!

I'm so gonna start doing this way. My hair always comes out soft, but it was super soft. Also, it was not at all greasy. It could be a little shinier, but I'll work on that.

I STILL need to get my ends cut...lol, perhaps this week.

Also, I am gonna wait til Easter and then see how much growth there is and cut off the blonde. So once all the blonde is gone, that should take care of all the ends.

I'm doing that because I want black hair...

I want black and then I'm going to dye ONLY that center patch of hair this time. It will be a way lighter blonde than last time so that my rinses take better. And then I will be able to do my rinses without heat for more temporary coloring.

It is LONG! Can't wait until I get money to get it straightened!!! Yea!

winter style1

I finally remembered to post photos! These are with my hair, not the wig lol! Forgot to take pictures those days. So same idea but with a bang coming down. A few times I let the hair fall in the back but it got to be hot or itchy. As it gets colder I will let more hair hang when i rock the wig though.

For my hair, I just parted the "bang area" from the rest. Then I used bobby pins to hold the sides back. This was nice for the past 2 days as it has been rainy and kind of cold. So even though I had to wash my hair, and leave with it wet, my hair was protected and my head was kept warm. I made sure to put extra moisturizer on my hair. There is gell on the "bang area".

I think it's cute!

Fall hair!

I got some hats! I got 3 (so now i hve 4) from Forever 21. Yellow (mustard), hot pink, and gray. So cute! I will take pictures maybe tomorrow with them on. I never uploaded the video cuz i forgot lol!

I been thinkin bout straightening my hair myself. But it has been rainy and just got warm again...so if i do i migt have to wait until like the end of the month. We will see.

I am in school and have a new parttime job sooooo that will obviously factor into time and when/if i can do my hair. It is just soooo thick that i know it will take forever, it always has lol. Even in those pics i posted a longtime ago, and it was short (After the fiasco), it took like hours! But i do know some ways to help it andddd i also think the fact that the back is longer will help cuz it will be easier to grip.

The way i did before and will probably do when i finally get time is this (not spending any money except to get the ends clipped!):

wash, etc

leave-in conditioner and moisturizer mix like usual, no gel

here is the change....i will use a little extra moisturizer cuz the one i use is also a good heat protectant (the ORS olive oil lotion) mixed with some glossing polisher.

Gonna use my 1 inch ceramic iron and i'll do it in the same wrap style i always do. After that, i will go ahead and clip the ends i can or just go straight to get it trimmed. we will see about that part.

Oh! so i mentioned my hair being dry lately. So I have been off and on doing the wig with the beret thingy. Well today it was dry even after i added the moisturizer, i thought maybe an oil to seal it so i put glossing polisher on top, did the charm! Not greasy but it help the moisture in, i was glad! Feels good....plus it was warm today so that helped lol!

If i do straighten it this month, i will def take pictures and maybe do a video. I looked at my calendar today, i forgot I had sechedule myself to straighten my hair on the 25th lol! we will see, maybe i will!!!

Protctive hats

I posted this photo in my Protective style entry about my wig. I love these type of hats! so cute
These 2 pictures were from my phone, today i wore my wig out with this hat thingy on top.

So see mine is very plain jane. it was like $2 at Sallys or some other hair store.

Last night i looked up those hats....the cheapest i saw was like $5 at Forever 21. Okay that's cheap except i want like 5-10 of them. And i know me, i get bored over time and quit wearing stuff for a while only to pick it up in a few years (or the next cold season lol). And we know i'm broke. Investing $25 to $50 is not the business.

I started thinking, can i find fabric like this? Sweaters and such? I will have to see, but if it is over like $3 a yard, then i dont want it cu i might as well buy it. I did find really good simple patterns. Some involved knitting....I can sew but have no idea how to Knit. My mom said i could learn....so i am looking at youtube videos and u know what, duh i dont have time to LEARN a whole new skill like that right now!!!

Well when looking up stuff to see is it crocheting or knitting i saw dollies like ppl put on tables!

I had thought about cutting sweaters i buy at a thrift store but was like, can u cut sweaters? well perhaps i can go find dollies!!! they are already circles and such..and tend to be white or cream so they can be dyed. I am gonna look into this tomorrow.

Going to Hancocks and a thrift store.... and walmart if i do need to get yarn or sweater fabric. u can do it with like fleece and felt and stuff but i like the sweater look, it slouches better to me.

In case you forgot, the wig is not quite done and there are issues with the shaping, sooooo these hats let me be able to do something cute and me while wearing my wig and protecting my hair until i am able to full on wear the wig. Very similar to how i always wore different scraves when i had my sew-in

let's see how this play out tomorrow....i am gonna still look at see if i can learn to knit quickly or not, she says it is easy.....cuz there were tons of good quality yarns for $2!

Protective Style

Who knows if i'll be able to for real wear this wig for Halloween......wanna do spiral curls with the bang, it may help since it is so big anyway.

If all else fails i'll wear those little beanie hat things? idk what u call them, it's in the video. Point is this wig will be my protective winter style. It has only been cool a few days and my hair is already drier ugh.

So i def need to start wearing it soon.

I plan to be able to do less to my hair. But first i need to go get my hair trimmed. Since it is cool, i am debating on a few things.

I could straighten it myself and see how it looks plus wear it down a couple days and go get it trimmed at Great Clips.

They aren't the best but they are cheap and they do fairly well if you just tell them EXACTLY what you need from them.

Or I could go to a barbershop and have them do a shape up. Barber is $20 plus tip. Greatclips is $14 plus tip and may be less cuz i think i have a coupon. Idk if they are good with fros and not willing to take that chance. So Sunday morning I may wash and deep condition my hair and blow it out and straighten it, and then go to Great Clips. I think? gotta check their hours....They close at 5pm on Sundays....that wont work. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow instead even though i just deep conditioned yesterday. We'll see, I guess i need to detangle more that deep condition it :)

So it will just be for sake of looking and getting it cut cuz i'm sure it will only last a couple days, it's always humid here ugh.

After that, i'll be wearing the wig. I'll do all the normal stuff except i wont have to pick or style my hair after i moisturize it.

Also, i want a tighter wig cap cuz my hair is still big under mine and it makes the wig look weird.

I guess here is a picture of those hats.

Hats look really cute on me and i especially like these lately. i got one from a hair store less cute but it works well enough.

I want some more but i see they are a little pricey....to the thirft store i go or maybe platos closet i guess. I'm so broke.

If i can get a ton of cute hats and stuff, then i can wear the wig . we'll see what happens.

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
