So, after the curlformers fiasco, I had to style my hair for my Aunt's wedding in Chicago. I couldn't get anyone to do it. So, I washed and braided it the night before my flight. Once again, I left some soldiers on the floor while braiding. I left the braids in for the flight. Heck, they were in for nearly 9 hours and my hair still wasn't dry. Luckily, I had an old hooded dryer from when I tried doing my own hair in my college days (BTW, I only used it once. Whomp!). I sat under that sucker for about 30 minutes. It dried the front really well, but the back was still damp. However, my hair was beyond presentable for the wedding. I even got compliments on it.
The very next week, my friends were flying in from Florida. I had no time to style, I washed and let it air dry about 40%. That was enough to flatten the front, then I bunned. Because the front of my hair is so jacked up, I section the hair in three parts. Two parts in the front and the main part in the back. I place the back in a ponytail holder and make two twist. I wrap those around for a bun. Then, I two-strand twist the front two pieces back towards the bun and pin them underneath. I kind of look like a church girl, but I owned the look and I'm making it last a week. I think I'll keep bunning until I buy my hooded dryer.
On a side note: I just got my order of Shea Moisture products from Walgreen's. I'm really hoping they will work. I'll let you know how the washing and detangling goes from there.
I think I have some breakage in the crown area. I don't know if it was there already and I just started noticing it or I ripped it out. I'm leaning towards the latter. I think I need a new detangling comb. My current one misses some things and causes frustration. That's when I get to pulling and breaking.
I really need a hooded dryer. I want to buy this Babyliss one, but with shipping, it costs $103. I guess I need to stop being cheap. Then again, maybe they should be cheaper.
