Pipe Cleaners

In a previous post I had mentioned that I was getting a little bored with the length of my hair and that I was considering cutting my locks out. Someone commented that I should try pipe cleaners as a sytle option. Well I did and these pics are the result. I wore the pipe cleaners for a couple of days and then I took them out. The pics really don't do the style justice. I really liked it and received a lot of compliments. In my next post I will show pics of what it looked like when I took them out.

Love my locks but....

Thinking of cutting them off. It will be five years this November and I am seriously considering it. Not sure yet, but maybe. I will never to go back straight but I will not have locks. Have not made my mind up yet though. It's just one of those things when it's time for a new beginning. IF and I do mean if I do, it will be one of the hardest things I've done in my life. My locks are a part of me. Decisions, decisions!!!?????

PS Does anyone know of a good natural stylist in the Detroit area?

My Bun

I put my hair in a high ponytail and tucked it under in the back securing it with bobby pins. It literally only takes about 5-10 minutes to do. And it only takes that long cause I like a smoothe bun. I like it. I can see me wearing this a lot this summer cause it is off my neck. I was all dolled up for a date with hubby.......












But this is how I usually wear my hair. I keep saying that after my re-tights I am going to give myself a wet set so that I can have a little style to my hair on a daily basis but it never happens. LOL

Me before locks

This is a pic of me when I was 29 and had a perm. I am going to post some more pics of me with a perm when I was about 38 and my hair was long right before the big chop, but for now have a look at this. LOL!

Up Do

This is me back in December of 2010. I had wet set my hair on sponge rollers and got under the dryer. Then I put it up in this up do. I literally just grabbed some hair and started pinning it up with bobbie pins. I liked the end result. More pics to come of my hair in 2011 As always stay blessed! :-)

Rocking my highlights! I love them and all but I will say that it changed the way my hair felt. It was harder! It is better now that I have been deep conditioning it and everything but at first I was thinking....."What have I done!" One thing that I stumbled on that REALLY helped was a steam suana. My hair loved it! And it really helped it get on the road to being back the way it was before the color. I wish I had access to one more often. Aahhh the pains of being beautiful! LOL! Stay blessed everyone! :-)

What change you say? Sista girl done went off and got hightlights! I like them but I guess I gotta get used to them. Sometimes I look at them and like them. Other times I look at them and think I need more in certain areas or wish they were all the same color. Like them or not here they are right?! LOL! BTW that is my mom in law peeking over my shoulder in the up do pic. LOL!
