There are some times when I just don't feel like wearing my hair out...when I want to switch some things up. Like this morning, for example. I fell asleep last night with a head band on my head. So this morning, my curls were ALL OVER THE PLACE. So...today will be one of those days when I will be switching it up. So I have several options to choose from:
1. Wear another head band. I like big band, loose head bands. They are not as tight and less stressful on my head...so no headaches.
2. Wear a high ponytail. My little secret is that I use a shoelace instead of a ponytail holder to hold my hair up. Yes, a shoelace :). It makes my pony tail loose and high. It also gives the allusion that I have more hair than I have. :)
3. Wear my afro puffs. This is more of a casual look for me. Its quick, easy and fun. It also makes me look a lot younger than what I am! :)
Here's some pics of my different hairstyles. If you have any cute pics and/or tips to share, please do!
I'm a curliecue too. I've been wearing my hair curlie for about 2 months now. Before that I was pressing it for 10 years. The hard part I'm finding about wearing it curlie is finding the right product and deciding who has the best advice. The stylist I go to now is encouraging a wet set and charges more than when I got my hair pressed. She says I shouldn't wash it more than once a week and recommends that I twist it. I love my curls but can't find a way to define my curls and keep it moisturized.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and will be checking it often for more information on how to maintain my curls without frequent trips to the shop.
Thanks for your interest in my blog. Your experience is a common one among my curliecue friends. What I have found is those who regularly press their hair have a hard time with their curls springing back. They have to "re-train'" their curls by laying off the pressing for a while. I very rarely blow dry my hair straight. In fact, I haven't done it since earlier this year. I wear my hair curly more often than I do straight...and that only happens once every other month in the fall, winter and spring seasons. I never wear my hair straight in the summertime. So, maybe you just need to "re-train' your curls by letting them run free for a while. Stay tuned for advice on how to maintain your curls.
