Braided Up

***I wrote this post weeks ago, but it didn't publish. This is my post about the mini braids...sorry :( ***
So I have been wanting to do a set of mini twists for the longest, so Saturday morning I woke up and washed my hair and sat in front of the tv for what would be a long day. As soon as I started I didn't like the way the twists looked so I grabbed my blow dryer and lightly with low heat blew my hair out. I went back to my spot on the couch and at 9am decided to do mini braids. I have never done them before, when I first went natural I put my hair in some small braids and loved the look. These braids took me 11 hours and I was so excited to finish them. I plan on leaving them in for about 6 weeks. See the pictures below

Faux Ombré Hair

So my mini braids have been hanging in pretty well. I recently have been wanting to do something new with my hair and came across a post on Curlynikki.com about using the Maybelline Color Tattoos for a pop of color on hair. These are cream eyeshadows and not permanent at all. I used "bold gold" which I already have on hand and applied it to the ends of my hair. I love the color it is subtle and I got a few compliments.
XOXO,

Vacation and Braid Update

So I had an awesome time on vacation, I went to Panama City Beach,FL. My hair held up well since I wore it up when I went to the beach...I can't wait to go back.

Headed To The Beach!

So it has been a while since my last vacation so I am headed to the beach this weekend for a little R & R. My braids are almost two weeks old and are holding up well. Of course I have experienced a little shrinkage but not like I do with my twists. Every few days I oil my scalp with castor oil and tie them up at night. See the pics below.
