Break

From the Protective Styling, Which has worked wonders for my hair. It feels stronger, and I can see the regrowth from my major trim a couple months ago.  Now I need to decide what will be Protective Style#3...PS3.  I think I will flat twist my hair in 9 to11 rows and crochet in the Afro bulk hair or some bohemian curl???  I really think someone braided my hair too tight, because my edges look mighty rough!!!

Anywho, the pics below are a twistout of PS2.  I love this hair. These started off as braids, and some folk thought it was my hair. Either it was super believable, they didn't know me, or they just don't pay me any attention.  Who knows, but it was a hit in my head. This was the style I wore to The Natural Hair Show in ATL.

2nd Style

I took down my protective Style #1, I loved this style although it was super  heavy on my head.  It lasted close to three weeks. I took out the crocheted Marley Braid hair and wore my hair loose in the top and pintucked it.  After that i washed and conditioned my hair well and I wore my Hair out in a regular fro for 4 days.  I say regular fro, because everyone is so used to my styles that a FRO? ain't good enough. Don't get it twisted I love my styles, but I am in love with my FRO!  I am using these protective styles to grow my FRO.  I cannot wait for that ridiculous FRO.

On to my Protective Style #2 for the next two weeks.  I have been on YouTube too much during my protective style challenge. I am living through the videos, I guess?  So I have been wondering how hard it would be to attempt the fluffy/puffy twists.  It wasn't so hard, but I definitely need to work on it.  I installed them on Monday between 730p and 1230a.  I had many breaks and K had to take a bath and go to bed, and other things! I would say it took three hours.  I used one bag of Living Color Afro Bulk 24".  It is a mix of Kanekelon and Toyokalon Fiber.  I went out and bought another bag for the next install.  The shape was not hot, so I was struggling on a way to style it.

On this past Friday, while perusing MAC, I saw a cute lil brunette lady with an even cuter hairstyle. She had on a sequined headband and tucked the hair in the back.  So after strugglin for about 20 minutes, I thought back to the headband tuck...
