Coming Soon: Melanie Fiona inspired hair

So, I was looking on the internet and found this hairstyle on Melanie Fiona that I want so bad.

It is youthful, but very adult, in my opinion. The only problem is....my hair is obviously not long enough for that side braid. I tried it with my real hair. It was a cute hair style for the beach, but it is not what I am exactly looking for. So I went to BSS and bought a pack of PERM YAKY BRAID hair. I am going to use this hair for my braid. I am still working out the kinks of how I am going insert the hair to look natural. I am six weeks post, looking a hot mess, lol, so I believe this will help my hair and the weave look cohesive, if anything. I will probably be doing hairstyle in the next few days...so be looking out for the end results, comparison, my opinion and a tutorial.

with love,
Lex

Researching For My Hair's Sake

So, I am home for this Labor Day weekend. I washed my hair today. I look into the mirror at my airdrying hair, and I am so bored with it. I am getting frustrated with so many things about my hair that I have two choices: find some solutions asap or cut it all off. Since no one is gonna go for that last one, I am going to attempt to research all of September to get on board by October or this ish is getting the boot. I have so many problems that I am about to face:

boring hairstyles - need to find better styles with little manipulation and heat

breakage - my bonnet is breaking off my edges all the way around my head

thin ends - that should be easy to treat

overall thickness - something should help it

more growth - i would like to see an extra but of NG with my relaxers

lack of moisture - ehh

find balance with protein - ehh

The list goes on and on. I am so ready for change, regardless of the overall result. Ugh!!!!!! Wish me luck...I'll keep you updated.
