An Old Style Revisited

So remember the Two Flat Twists & A Bun that I tried before? I got the style idea from Mrs. The Bronx over at Heavenly Hues & Hair Do’s <~~ That's her version of the style. I absolutely LOVE the style on her, but I didn't really love it so much on myself. It might have something to do with her gorgeous hair color too.

In any case, I decided to revisit the style for three main reasons:

1. I wouldn't have to put gel in the front of my hair

2. The shorter pieces in the front wouldn't get strangled daily by the ponytail holder

3. I discovered that my hair can go into a bun, so my ends would be protected.

Sounds like I'm winning all around!

…and here it is! Look, I even put a flower in it! So what if it's black and camouflages. Lol.

Quickie Twistout

This weekend I did a quickie twistout. I was supposed to wash my hair on Friday so it would be clean and styled for the baby shower I was going to on Saturday, but I was too tired. Instead, I went to sleep. On Saturday I had a thousand errands to run and I knew that if I washed my hair, it wouldn’t dry in time. I decided to just twist it, after my hair had been pulled back into a ponypuff/bunnytail all week.

I used a little Organic Root Stimulator – Twist & Lock Gel. I twisted it a little smaller than I usually do just so I can have more definition. I expected it to come out really well because my hair was stretched already from the ponypuff/bunnytail… and it did!

I always feel like I have to have a fierce twistout when I’m seeing people that I haven’t seen in a long time. Especially when this is the first time they’re seeing me with short hair.

Mission accomplished!
