Weekend Updates

So I owe you guys TWO weekend updates. (I really need to work on keeping up with my 

blogs! Smh)

Anywho! The past 2 weekends my hair has been natural yet again (and by natural I mean no straightening/flat ironing).

Two weekends ago, my hairstyle didn't come out at all how I wanted it to, but it worked! I was originally going for faux 50's bang with just a pin up in the back, but the faux bangs just DID NOT work. It's okay though, because it actually came out really nice. The pin up came out better than expected (because I was originally just trying to cover up my banana clip lol) and the bang turned into a pretty pompadour-puff. It came out really nice!

The past weekend actually, I did straighten my hair and when I showered in the morn, I replace my satin head wrap with my regular scarf and the steam un-straightened (not a word, I know, but I'm still using it) my hair and it was back to natural in a matter of 20 minutes. I actually really liked how it came when I took my pin curls down, so I may do that more often - on purpose of course. On Saturday however, church was SO hot that my curls dropped faster than usual. Luckily, I snapped some pics in earlier in the morning!

Pinned up after the curls dropped.

Try something new!! :)

Weekend Update: Nappy Girlll :)

FOUR Hairstyles!
Soooo this (and the last 2 weekends) I went with my natural, beautiful, nappy hair =). I did a style that I've done before (2 weekends ago) which was the pomp and cinnabon look, but last weekend, I tried something new. I washed my hair, blow dried it, twisted it,and then I put rollers in (The Medusa hairstyle, as it has been so cleverly named lol). At first,  I was a little skeptical about the look, but it actuall came out WAYY nicer than I anticipated. I originally planned on undo-ing the twists completely, but I actually liked how it looked! It was not exactly what I thought it would be, but nonetheless, I loved it. Chances are, I'll be repeating this hairstyle soon! 
Somewhere between weekend 2 and 3 (lol) I got bored of my hair just being in braids and I twisted it. I had just washed it, I detangled it, moisturized it, and I twisted it, all while it was still wet. I wore it down and pinned in various ways for a couple of days, and then I undid the twists and pinned it up. It too came out very nicely :)
I also did a 1940's vintage-like hairstyle-- this weekend (which was also my favorite)-- (like in the video posted on the Helpful Videos page). I changed it up to my own tastes, and again, I was a little doubtful, but it came out great! This hairstyle will also be repeated soon. AND yet another hairstyle that I tried out this weekend -- Saturday night-- (I forgot to take pics with the bandanna NOT on my head -- sorry lol) was the Infinity Bun. This hairstyle I really REALLY loved. I'll be wearing my hair as such to school sometime this week to school! HEY! Have fun experimenting! There will be new videos up this week for the hairstyle I've done these past few weekends. Pics below!
