Braidout Styles

So, this continues my ''messing with the braidout'' to come up with cute Up-do's and stuff.

It's nothing awesome, but I like it.

The back: I scooped the back of my hair up (I like the look doing this method gives) and I pinned it in the middle.

I used about 4 or 5 bobbypins to make sure it's secured -- since it's pretty loose back there.

The front: I swooped the front to the left and pinned it. :) I like.

The Back: I had taken the pins out and pinned everything to the side (more than to the middle) to see if I liked the look better.

Side: This angle shows how messy this style is. Because I just grabbed and pinned.

Overall, I love it. This one goes into the ''style file'' :)

I'll keep messing with braidouts to see what other messy do's I can slap together.

Praying For The South

My prayers are going out out to the victims of the tornadoes.

My God give them strength and comfort at this time of suffering.

Be Back Soon

I've been taking some, very much needed, time off to work on my spiritual growth.

I'll be back soon, with all things hair.

Messing With The Braid-Out

...For the sake of coming up with new styles and looks.

I braided over an old braid and curl a few days ago.
I just sprayed it with water since there was conditioner (Hello Hydration + Suave pro.) left over from the braid and curl.

So I tried to do a little something with some bobby pins and I don't think it came out that terrible.

Excuse the pictures, I was working with my webcam and a mirror.

I pinned the sides back, creating a pouf. Then I pulled the back up (holding the nap and moving my hands up) and pinned it in the middle.
Then I just used more pins to hide most of the hair that was sticking out.
And BAM!

The front pouf -- I didn't want to make it too large

 I'll use (old) braid outs for experimenting with styles and keep you guys posted.
...'till next time...

I Think I Need Something New

I'm getting really tired of looking the same every day...every week.

I always wear my braid/twist and curl the same! Either all down, pulled back with a headband or pulled up into a ponytail.

Or every so often I'd get the itch to do a little something with some bobby pins.But even that never looks any different.

I did another braid and curl on Friday the 8th, and this is how I wore it looks:

I pinned it back with bobby pins and got the same look I would with a headband! It's really sad.

But I don't really like this braid and curl, so I am going to use this opportunity to mess with it and come up with some new styles.

We'll see what that will look like...

'till next time

Four Days Later...

So, bigger is better, right?

This is day 4 hair. Not bad, but I have to re-do it soon to prevent serious tangling.

 Today's a windy day, so I pinned the front to the side.



Braid And Curl Results

I love it! It was really soft and really shiny!

I love my hair like this -- it looks and feels so healthy!

I used little rollers to curl the ends of my hair (a little less then 3/4 of an inch) which gives it the appearance of a regular braid-out.
Not the look I was going for, but I don't mind because it does look more natural and it still had more bounce and volume than a regular braid out.

There's a lot of shrinkage (which is to be expected) and I usually like my braid/twist outs to reach my chin in the front and shoulders in the back, but this is still cute.

Overall, I like it. Not bad, not bad.
