Flip & Bun

Posted in Hairstyles by

I decided to try a style from Her Best Hair, which is day 7 of her “30 Styles in 30 Days” challenge. I love her styles!

Of course I did it with minor variations. I didn’t add the bang in the front because I like to keep my hair away from my face. I don’t want any unnecessary breakouts. I also bunned the back of my hair upward instead of bunning it downward because the top portion of my hair isn’t long enough for a smooth bun.

I like the way it came out and I’m pretty sure it’ll be my style for the week. I like that I can bun it without my bun-maker and it doesn’t look small.

Thanks to Tia- Shanté of Her Best Hair! Check out her YouTube video for this style!

The SSK Saga

The amount of single strand knots I have is absurd. I need to trim my hair more regularly. In fact, I need to trim off a good amount, but I refuse. I think the fact that I bun it while it’s wet contributes to the ssk’s. Ugh!

This weekend I blow dried my hair after I washed it. I didn’t blow dry it straight, just enough to dry my hair because I had to leave the house soon. Leaving the house with wet hair in this weather is a formula for trouble. It’s much easier to work with my hair when it’s blow dried. In addition, I use less gel.

I’m not sure that this will become an every week routine, but hey… you never know.

This has been my go-to style. Not the best shot, but you get the idea. I’ve posted pics before of it done on wet hair.
