Stylin': V-Day edition

I hope you guys had a love-filled Valentine's Day! I unfortunately had to work the majority of the day but I had a great day none the less! I just wanted to stop by and show you how I wore my hair. I used the tutorial from the last post to pull off this Valentine head wrap. 

 The hair under the wrap are in twist and the hair on top is a twist out that I pinned down because it was way to long and defined for the look. The hair was looking a little Side-Show Bob-ish before I pinned them down. But all my ends are nice and hidden making this a really great protective style!

I used a bright red solid red colored bandanna. In the future I'll have to find some larger scarves because I have a very big head so I was fighting to make it tie in the front. (check out thrift stoes/department stores/ beauty supply stores/ boutiques for some stylish and cheap ones!) 

 

But overall I REALLY like this style. You can safely assume that this style is now a staple. Let me know how you like it!

*Happy Hair Days*

Stylin': Wrap it Up! (revisited)

A few days ago I posted about my new favorite go to style, The Head Wrap. The wraps I usually do are made with long scarves and mostly Pashimas. But after watching this video featuring on of my faves, Keisha, from Ashiek1118 on Youtube, I'll definitely be running to thrift store  tomorrow to find some scarves/shirts/fabrics that will give me these great looks! Check out the video below to see the jazzed up versions of the traditional turban look.

This winter has been all over the place.  Here in the district,  it's in the mid sixties one day and the next there's 3inches of snow!The weather has not only affected my immune system (I just got over the flu the other day) but it’s been doing some wear and tear on my hair. Although my hair has been in twists the entire month  of January, I can still feel how dry my hair is left feeling when I come from outside. So to keep my hair away from the harsh, up and down elements I've been wearing one of my signature styles from the summer; “The wrap.” I can tell you one thing. I’m so happy these are acceptable work-wear at my office because until the sun decides to have a consistent presence in my life these will most definitely be worn heavily.

           

I love how intricate you  can make one look yet it only takes about 30 seconds to wrap one. Below is an awesome tutorial on how I usually wrap my head scarves.  Let me know how you end up enjoying it, and if you’ll be incorporating them into your winter styles.
