Half Wigs FTW !!!

Another life saver of mine: half wigs! They’re affordable, easy to use and a serious time saver. I like to braid the front to add style, because when I just pull my hair back it looks frizzy and just bad. Braiding helps to create a seamless illusion. I throw some cornrows in there, a few two strand twists. You’ll come to see that I repeat a braiding pattern that I like with three braids on the side, and two perimeter flat twists. The rest is messily cornrowed straight back because I dont care muahahahah.

Ahem, anyway  lol. Visit your local beauty supply and check out their drawstring ponytails and half wig collection. This one is supposedly 100% human hair , I got it from my grandma actually LOL. So I don’t how much it costs, but shouldn’t be more than $30. Then again she has expensive tastes so I wouldn’t be surprised if it were around $50. But #aintnobodygottimeforthat I’m still in a post college broke phase lol. So again, *cough* local beauty supply drawstring section.

That’s it , hope my tip helped out a bit n_n

Until next time 🙂


French Crown Braids FTW!

French Crown Braids for the win!!!!

Latest Stuff to Sort 027

So I’ve been obsessed with this style lately. I like it because its easy to do, lasts for 3-7 days if you sleep with a satin cap, and can be modified in a variety of different ways (adding a marley hair bun, flat twist bangs, etc.) It can take me from work, to class, to cocktails, so I’m loving it!

It’s great for summer and keeps me from throwing on my hair extensions in a panic lol.

The Transition Phase: November 2013 -07/05/14

TWA Stage (Phase 1)

Awkward Stage (Phase 2)

Too long to be TWA, but too short to be styled well
