Crochet Braids Week Two Update: I Love my hair but I am taking it down


NYE Party in ATL

What an eventful week this was. NYE party!!! I got the chance to bring in the New Year in Atlanta. I love this place. It has a great salsa dancing community. Here are a few pics

Me and my date Mamadou. He is a great salsa dancer!

Mamadou and Benjamin

As the post says I love my hair but I am taking it down. I did such a horrible job braiding my real hair underneath it is completely loose and my real hair is coming out the braids. FOUNDATION IS EVERYTHING!!!! The reasons are discussed further in the video below:

Kinky Twists update

So yeah, I LOVE the twists. They are super easy to take care of, they swing, they can be used as a pillow, i can use them to hit people.... So many pluses.

The pics above are me with my dance group Nashville Rueda. I am the one in the middle.


I have been having a few problems though....

 First they keep on slipping out the back. I guess this is due to my hair being super short in the back. Plus the texture is a lot straighter and finer back there. Also I am getting kinda bored with them. And when I washed my hair they were soooo heavy. I had to take a few out and do them over b/c they had slipped some.

So I am going to try Afro Puffy twists next. I ordered hair Nafy Afro Puffy Hair. It should come in a few days! I am super excited to see what new hair adventures I will have. I am going to attempt to do some "Havana twists". If my hair is not long enough for this then I will just do some really thick twists.
