Tuesday, I will be at the 14-month mark. And I got the "I need to do something different with my hair or Ima do something drastic like cut it all off" urge. So, as fate would have it, I went to nappy headed black girl's page &, whaddaya know, she had a vid of someone tutorializing, don't try to patent my word, a short updo.
Now, I will forewarn you by saying that my style is not exactly like the one in the vid. However, it gave me an idea & I free-styled the rest. So, check out the tute, ck out my pics, then let me know whatcha think? K?
All down...

Oh, I almost forgot to mention one key component to this whole thing....I did this without being able to see the back of my head. A few weeks ago my handheld mirror just poof and disappeared. Nooobody has seen it. Kinda strange to me, but I digress. Anyhoo, I think I did an ok job to not have been able to see what the heck I was doing back there. I am going to buy another mirror in the very near future, though. But until then....
Love the updo, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteOooh I like, I like, very nice.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your milestone!!
ReplyDeleteI am LOVIN this!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind kind of pins did you use? 'Coz I'm totally frustrated with bobby pins. They last maybe 2 or three uses b4 that liitle ball that's supposed to protect the hair starts to come off and get caught in the hair.
**senior moment** Oh shoot, I forgot to say congrats on your 14 month mark! They looking might snazzy there. lol
ReplyDeletethanks so much everybody. i got so many compliments on this hairstyle, including one from my hubby...which is quite rare considering he wishes i would remove all my locs & go back to straight hair --not gonna happen. lol.
ReplyDeletemsfullroller, i used the open pins; the ones without the "protective ball" on the ends. those ones irk me anyway. lol. i think i used maybe 4-5 pins tops.
I absolutely love this style......AND will be stealing it!!!!! Congratulations on your progress. Your locs look alive and healthy. Keep up the good work.

ReplyDeleteI'm really diggin' this! So much so that I was about to ask how you did it...until I realized that it's from my blog!

ReplyDeleteI am soo loving this updo! I just wish I could have the talent to fix it like this....I know that for most girls this is easy but not for me.
ReplyDeleteI PROMISE MYSELF that I will work on that for 2011
atelys, i feel ya. believe me, it's no easy feat for me either. i start out w/one idea n my head & it turns into something altogether different. majority of the time, i end up with a style that's completely different from my initial intentions...LOL. practice makes perfect. make sure u post pics of ur work :)
