Natural Hair Update: Braid out Pin up

Hello Luvs! I have so much to discuss in today. I will touching on the status of my NATURAL hair being COLOR TREATED, Hair School, and one of my most recent styled that I posted on YOUTUBE.

HAIR SCHOOL

As of the end of this month, I will be beginning classes at John Amico Beauty School. I had to home and take a break from school at ISU due to extenuating circumstances, and I decided in the mean while I might as well get my license.

COLOR TREATED NATURAL HAIR

 So as I discussed in my previous post, I colored my hair about 2 months ago. I did a copper color in the top. Not the whole front just the crown and a brown on the remainder. Prior to the color, I would say that my hair was a mixture of a 3c and a 4c. After washing my hair I did notice that my edges at the nape area, became completely loose, to the point where if I bushes it up or do a blow up it looks completely straight. For the most part, I like it because curls on rest of my head, is really pretty, but the texture definitely changed.



ONE OF MY MOST RECENT HAIR STYLES:

So I have just fallen in love with braid outs! I did a funky pin up and I loved it sooo much that I recreated in and did a video on it (below). What I did is co-washed it and did individual braids. Once they were dry, I pined up one side and the back and fluffed, and spiked the bangs. In this vid, I also did sort of a product review of the John Amico products that I received on my visits to the school. Check it out and see what I had to say about it!

Hair Update: Cut, Color, STRAIGHT!!!!!!

A couple of weeks of ago, I got bored with my hair (again) and I decided to do something different, so I went to Harmony Salon and Day Spa here in Bloomington and I got my hair colored and I got a "silk" flat iron.



I got my hair colored with a cooper red in the top and chocolate brown on the bottom.



But, of course that didn't last too long. A couple of days later my hair got puffy and I remember the one thing I hated about my hair when it was relaxed, It wouldn't behave and I would have to flat iron it. I'm not real big on putting a lot of heat on my hair so I just washed it.


I think it looks great and a lot more interesting with the color!!!

Back from My Hiatuis

Okay I know I've been slacking as far as update you guys whats going on with my hair. Well about a month and a half ago I put my yarn braids back in. LOVE them. I think that will forever go to protective style.




I began taking them down yesterday because some of them were lose and I wanted to tighten them up until I found this video on YouTube by trmic19977. So now I just want to take them down because I'm missing my quick weaves.


Now I'm kinda in between if I want to make a quick weave wig or just do a crochet. Once I make up my mind I will keep you guys updated!
