Hangtime!

Call me crazy, but I feel like my hair has grown a little since I cut it. Of course I have no measurements or anything yet, but my twistouts seem to hang a little longer and my ponytails doesn’t seem to be just a puff anymore. I think I may actually have a little hangtime!

I see the problem with doing protective styles on short hair. There are none! There are styles that are low-manipulation styles, but as far as protective styling goes… minimal! The only one I can actually think of is Bantu Knots. I’ve been having a lot of twistouts. When I know the weather is going to be bad, I have a ponytail.

My twistouts come out really nice now, the humidity just takes it to another level. I’ve decided that I’m going to stick with a ponytail during the week and save the twistouts or the weekends.

I notice that when my hair is in a ponytail, I don’t moisturize the ends as much as I should. This week I will make a conscious effort to moisturize my ends.

I think I’m finally starting to miss my long hair. I like long hairstyles better and after looking at pics, I like the way I look with long hair better. *shrugs* It’ll be back soon.

XOXO,

The beach & natural hair

I went for a stroll on the beach yesterday and this is what I ended up with. I must say that it wasn’t so much the humidity, but the gusty breeze really had its way with my hair.

Good thing I always carry my headband to rescue a twistout gone wrong. It’s not great, but definitely much improved.

I didn’t get to try out my new hair products because I haven’t had much hair time lately to do my deep conditions and really test out products. I’ll get to them soon though… and hopefully before I buy more

XOXO,
