This is not me, but her hair just gave me life Protective styling, I do it and I don't. I hate it and I love it. I love the hands off idea, I love the idea of potential growth(length), but I despise the process. Well, I may have found an answer to my problem. A faux bun and bang. I found it on YouTube here and here , and fell in love with the look, but most importantly, the EASE of completion. I immediately subscribed to both channels after watching their vids. Gonna give it a try and hope it looks BANGING!! I don't even have to run out and buy any hair because I'm going green baby!! Reduce, reuse, recycle the marley twist hair that I'm currently rockin'!! I planned to use this hair for my faux bang as well as for my bun, it was a total fail Related Posts Marley and Me

For my 4th nappiversary, I decided that my fingers needed a break, so I spent days on end installing some Marley twists. Ass-backward, yes, this I know. I watched a couple of.YouTube tutorials, then got to work on my head. I had a splitting migraine so I had to chop up the first couple of days. Then I had the brilliant idea to intall them shoulder length so it would look more natural. Bad idea, I had to redo about 30 twists. That is where the extra time came in. I planned to leave these in for 3 months, but at this point, it's been 5 weeks and I'm already itching to take them out. I'm already planning my style after I remove these, a faux bun.

I shampooed weekly with watered down cantu shampoo and conditioner and moisturized (sometimes)with watered down hawaiian silky 14 n 1. I will deep condition with a doctored up Suave Almond and Shea butter conditioner before re...

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...
