December 8, 2011 by Alma Leave a Comment

So I wore my kinky curly weave for the last time. As gorgeous as the hair still was, the tangling became too much to bear and I had to take it down. I have had the hair just over a year and in fact it was in November of last year that I boiled it […]

June 8, 2010 by Alma 2 Comments

Straightened the weave

June 4, 2010 by Alma Leave a Comment

Changed things up again- a new install!

June 3, 2010 by Alma 1 Comment
