My hair has been in protective custody and it has not been that big of a deal! Here are a couple of looks and tries at 2 strand twists I did in January.
For February, I was mostly in buns. I've been rocking my buns in 1 of 2 ways pretty much. The first is a way that Ebony, our challenge host, did a messy bun a while ago. I believe she had a picture or two on Instagram and everyone was all, 'do a tutorial; do a tutorial!' Click here to check out the video. It is so simple and always looks so cute! Here are a few shots of my high messy bun:
Bun 2 is from a tutorial fgrogan on YouTube did last month. It's a sock bun covered with microfiber, but it's rolled as opposed to the hair being tucked around the sock bun and pinned. Click here to see her tutorial. It doesn't require any hair pins when done correctly, but my hair is not as long nor as thick as hers, so I would add a pin or two. But it really works and was a nice change from my messy bun.
All-Star Weekend was in Houston, TX this year and my husband and I went down for the Rising Stars game on Friday night. I decided to use my heat pass and use a 'down day' as well. I followed ulovemegz's tutorial on 'How "I" Get My Hair Laying' and used Elasta QP Design Silk (in place of the Nioxin) and the ORS Thermal Protect and Shine Spray. I used a mixture for my deep conditioner and applied it with an applicator brush; the Elasta QP was applied in sections and I detangled and blow-dried, and then the ORS spray was applied in sections and I flat-ironed.
Tried to get you a 'motion' shot - swangin' hair, haha!
