Koils-n-Kinks

After spending hours washing, drying, straightening, and braiding, I put my wig on and was totally unsatisfied. I mean, I wasted an entire morning trying to apply it and I failed miserably. I didn't even take a picture, that's how unhappy I was. I have worn this wig in the past, when my hair was much easier to put under a wig cap. That picture could not be located. I was in a bikini anyway!! I guess it's time to buy a new one, this one was a bit too small anyway. THIS IS MY WIG PURCHASED FROM HAIRSISTERS.COM HAIR TIDY FOR WIG APPLICATION, I GUESS I LEFT TOO MUCH HAIR OUT After much frustration with the wig, I decided I had enough hair and did not need to hide it underneath a wig. I almost looked exactly like my real hair anyway. LACE FRONT I BOUGHT FOR MY BIG CHOP, THIS LASTED 2 WEEKS BEFORE I DECIDED I DIDN'T NEED THIS EITHER HOMEMADE WIG, THIS WAS MY FAVE ONE AND IT FIT PERFECTLY AND COST LIKE $10 AND LASTED A L...

I have been getting my hair braided for years. Box braids, micros, kinky twists, weaves, cornrows. Last year I stumbled upon "tree braids" while online, and fell in love with them. They look like free flowing hair, almost like a weave, but without the sewing or the dreadful glueing. You can choose any type hair, and do many styles. Checking out the style on my way home I live in Madison, WI, and there are a handful of African braiding shops. They are always booked, and they are always small, and as always, PRICEY!!. I have never been afraid to spend some dough and spend some time on getting my hair braided up, but I have developed a small problem. Socializing, that alone, made me keep my distance, thus not being able to get my beloved tree braids!! That and the fact that I couldn't find any info on tree braiders for my area. I finally stumbled across someone who can do it, from their home!! Yay!! Let me tell you, it took me a good week to call her and make my a...

Every now and then, I feel the need to have long hair or straight hair, or long curly hair. When this undeniable feeling creeps into my bones, I go to my trusty hair pieces. Wigs, Falls, Hats, Pieces, or whatever you may call them, they all serve a purpose, to make you look like eye candy!! Let's face it, not everyone likes the natural look. I only do this on special occasions, when I feel my natural may not be appropriate. That feeling is coming less often and the  last time I did wear one my boyfriend says "Oh, I wanted  you to wear it curly". Can't win either way!! How often do you don your piece?
