| | Olablessings has BC'ed AGAIN and needs hairstyles!'s Journals Recent Comments Somehow i managed to do everyone else's hair this weekend, except my own! I need a protective hairstyle, but i dont know which one! When my hair was shorter i used to get braids as a protective hairstyle. Now my hair is longer (5 1/2 in.) and it would take me forever to put braids in. I dont know what to do! I want something that would last and something i can do by myself. I've been checking out some other fotki albums and another hairstyle i've been thinking about is two strand twist. I JUST DON'T KNOW!! and i HATE being indecisive! I also want to challenge myself and not use heat, brushes, and actually keep it up for a month! keeping a hairstyle in is the HARDEST PART FOR ME! I always find new and see new hairstyles and immediately want to try it! i'm upset and frustrated! aaaahhhhhhh!!! lol both hairstyles will need heat, though. so i guess there not that protective. this is ridiculous. over the weekend i tried flat twist with extensions, but i hated how the ends looked! i stopped like barely halfway. i think i'm going to do the twist and see how it comes out, then if i dont like it...i'll do the braids. HOPEFULLY & PRAYERFULLY, i will LOVE it and it will be beautiful, and i'll keep it in! okay so about a week ago, i finally got my hands on some ACV, and boy was i excited! maybe a little bit too excited!! i used it to rinse my hair and had like, 1/3 acv and 2/3 water. THAT WAS A MISTAKE!! there was way too much ACV!! i ended up burning my nose!! lol i never thought that was possible, until now! I had the whole house smelling horrible too!! Now thats its over and i've learned my lesson, i can laugh at it, but while it was happening i could have cried! lol well at least my hair is clean. :D i started putting in my braids on May 17th...or the 19th. i cant remember which day, but anyway it's been a while and i havent completed much. Now i'm thinking about not finishing! it's summer time and i want my hair out! i miss my hair already! this is so pathetic. i decided to put the braids in as a protective hairstyle to let my hair rest some more (the 17th was also the last day for my protective hairstyle challenge). at the same time that's exactly why i need the braids, to keep me from doing my hair all the time. on the other hand i just got these oils and i found some hibiscus and i wanna put henna in my hair. i dont know what i should do...except pray on it. I'm in the process of taking down my braids that i never finished putting up. It was intended to be a protective challenge and last 6 weeks. Now it's being aborted 4 days short of being 4 weeks. I miss my hair!!! I could have done it, but i was fed up with these braids. I also have two different kind of weaves. One is kanokelon (sp?) and the other... i'm not so sure what it is. Although the texture of this other weave is not far from the kanokelon, when it is braided and put into the hot water, its curliness does not last. So my ends were not to my satisfaction. i here now declare this mission aborted/failed.
While putting up and taking down these braids i did learn that my hair is EXTREMELY uneven. This is my own doing. In November, i think it was November, i cut my own ends for the first time. I cut a lot of in the back and less in the middle and front. The length in the back is maybe about a 1/2 shorter than the front. in december i think i'll go to a stylist and have them even it out. I do my own hair so that is definitely scary for me. I'm definitely going to keep it in prayer.
Besides that, my hair is doing excellent. I'm happy, proud of myself, and truly blessed. | | |
