Hairstyle for 25/12/2010

So I'm going to break down to you how I did my hair for the 25th December (finished product should be shown at the bottom of this post)

1. Separate hair into 8 sections (depending on your hair length. In my case, 8 sections did the trick).
2. I used Dia's rosewater spray mix first to hydrate my hair. Select your first section, and hydrate it.
3. To seal in moisture, I used Afrocenchix's daily conditioning oil. Apply this (or an alternative) to that same section of hair to seal in moisture. http://www.afrocenchix.com/
4. After applying that, I applied Dia's Avocado and Coconut Oil Leave-In Conditioner. This left my hair softer than ever before and FREE of tangles. http://www.dias-allnatural.co.uk/
5. Plait up that section and repeat on all other sections until you have something a little like this going on:

After this, I put on my du-rag and went to sleep (eventually). I kept my hair protected like this for about 3 days. When 3 days were up, I took the plaits out and used Sazzy Waves Styling Gel with Aloe Vera (the only unnatural product I use) and a hard brush to flatten the sides and top. To hold it in place, I used one of my hair heroes.. BOBBY PINS! You can fiddle about with it to style it however you like at this point.

Here's how mine turned out!:

Day One

Finally decided to get on the blogger bandwagon. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING! Everytime I type something, seconds later, it's apparently been automatically saved as a draft. Sorry, a draft to where?!
ANYWAY most of my blogs are going to revolve around the experiments that I'll be doing with my hair.. Although, it's not out of the ordinary for me to go off on a tangent, so be prepared! You should find some pictures of some random hair play just above this text. Nothing impressive, but it was sweet and simple. Two fat flat twists leading into two small cinnabuns.
