I’m taking the braids down

March 18, 2010 by 2 Comments

Ok, just a week after braiding my hair up I have had it! Every time I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror I get annoyed. I knew that I shouldn’t have done these extensions when I just wasn’t feeling it. Next time I will follow my intuition. I just want them outta my […]

  I completed the braids finally. You know, I don’t think I will braid my hair with extensions again. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t say that because I am exhausted but because throughout the process of braiding, I kept wishing I was braiding just my own hair. When I was about half way through, […]

Aveda did not stand the test of time this time

I’m afraid after 6 days of straight hair, aveda brilliant finally gave in to the humidity today! Technically, my hair was still straight but it was huge! It’s about time I wore some natural styles anyway so I don’t mind. I may just do some individual braids with my own hair or with the outre […]

  I just want to see what the fuss is about with these straighteners. I hear they get your hair straight and it stays straight for longer. If I could get a weeks wear out of it, bearing in mind that I work out 4 times per week, I will be a happy bunny. Major […]

Keeping my hair straight while I work out, an impossibility?

February 27, 2010 by 11 Comments

So this week I tried the straight hair look. The first day was fabulous, hair swinging everywhere! However, I’m trying to lose some weight (arent we all!) and as soon as I worked out, my roots reverted instantly. Aveda moisture block is usually fab for stopping reversion in it’s tracks in humid a atmosphere but […]
