So remember when I posted a few weeks ago that I was uber frustrated with my hair?
::If you don't it's okay, here's the link:: Well a few days later on a whim I decided to quit whining and do something about it......
STRAW CURLS.

| Right after I took them out...... |

| After about 3 days, I started to separate them. |
Although you can blatantly see my new growth courtesy of the flash on my phone and they don't look the best/professionally done, I think this hairstyle did a good job of giving my hair a fresh look. It was a much needed changed from the everyday bun/clip routine I had fallen into. All I used was a cap full of setting lotion (that blue liquid in a spray bottle full of water) Smooth Shine Polishing foam mousse (got mine from Family Dollar store for $2.75), drinking straws and bobby pins. This hair style lasted me a week; from Labor Day until this past Monday. The only reason why I took it down was because I had separated the front so much that they were starting to lose definition, other wise they would still be up.
Currently 7wks post now..... Got 5 more wks and I will be relaxing. I may have to revisit this style in the future.
What ya think? Did I do a good job? Have any tips or suggestions for other hair styles or how I could make this one last longer? COMMENT!
ooooo the curls look so cute! How you do have the patience to put in all those straws?? lol I can see that they're a great low manipulation style, though. Good luck with the rest of your relaxer stretch!
ReplyDeleteI love the definition of the curls, and it looks so shiny. Would love to see some of the styles that you did - that's where I would struggle on my own hair, but it has given me food for thought.
