The LF has arrived...

My lf finally came and it is pretty as hell. very nice hair the only complaint that I have is that the hairline that I requested to be natural is crooked as hell and it is a little too small. The ear to ear
across forehead is too short and I'm pretty sure I measured that big enough. It would fit alot better if I had less or no hair.
I'm working on my app, the first I used safegrip and blueliner and it barely held for five minutes.
The second I used supertape and davlyn waterproof. That was soooo much better but it did pull up on the sides because of the tension from it being too small.
It looks way too wiggy at the moment, I need to get it cut. I want to put some pretty layers into it.
I have everything that I need except the rit dye. I keep forgetting to get it when I go to walmart.
I am definitely going to order another one. A curly from Rex, maybe next month.
I am going to try another braid pattern to see if I can get a better fit. I think I will be able to but I worry about how the wig will look on top. The way I am thinking should take a few inches out and make it look more natural. I HOPE!
We will see...

Baby born!

My baby boy was born 4/26/08 in the elevator of the hospital. It was quite a scene. I will not go into detail here. He is so cute and looks just like his brother and sister.

Impatiently Waiting

Still waiting for the LF to arrive. It has been 4 weeks now so it should be done within the next week or so (I hope). I am also waiting on a few other things, such as the birth of my son. I have been contracting and hoping he comes sooner rather than later.

After my baby is born I am going to spend some time beautifying myself. I am practicing some makeup techniques, shopping, buying new clothes, my LFW, my nails, working out. I want to get my B4 baby figure back. This is number three and I'm not out of shape or overweight ( I'm probably a little underweight) I just hate having that pouch of fat in front from the baby. With every pregnancy it gets a little bigger. I'm still not used to it, having an extremely flat stomach all my life.
I want rock hard, well defined abs! I plan on getting the contour after the baby. I also want to get my first tattoo, a little butterfly with my children's names.

On to the hair...
I have been wearing it in two strand twists for the past month or so. Still neglecting it and not wearing a scarf. I have been so stressed it makes no sense and the stupid people around me are not making it any easier. I have been just cowashing every couple of days and retwisting when needed. I trimmed some of the ends off and will cut it down some more when the wig gets here.

March purchases

I have bought a few things this month. first I finally decided what kind of lace front I wanted to start off with and who I wanted to order from.

My lace wig specifications are as follows:

• chinese remy light yaki
• length- 22"
• color- #2
• full french lace with stretch from ear to ear
• baby hair around perimeter
• bleached knots
• freestyle parting
• natural hairline
• density- light at hairline medium everywhere else

The price of the wig was $240 which included shipping costs. Plus $14 for western union fees it came up to $254. I bought 91% alcohol, acetone, acrylic spray, and fray block. All I really need now is the rit dye, glue, tape, scalp protector. I was thinking of getting safe grip, davlyn waterproof, supertape, blue lace support tape, proflex no shine for my starting adhesives. Then if these don't work (which I'm sure at least some of them will or in combination will) I will get ultra hold and vapon no tape.

I do plan on getting at least 1-2 more lf. I want a curly one and if the chinese yaki refuses to hold a curl for very long I will get a wavy indian remy one.

Also I decided to get back into doing my nails. I bought a gel nail kit and will get an acrylic set also. I used to do my nails all the time and was inspired by some beautiful 3d acrylic art to get back into it. when I decide to do it I will put pics in the fotki.

Finally about my hair, I am now wearing my hair in twists until I get my wig next month. When I get the wig my hair will be put away in braids underneath until the end of the year.

Measurements March 2008

So I finally measured my hair... here they are nothing spectacular

front 12.5"
back 11.5"
middle 11.5"

so I am right where I thought I was as stated in the fotki. I have 21 months worth of growth since the texturizer. That is 10.5" of natural hair with about 1-2" of texturized ends. I have a little bit left to cut off, so I'm happy about that. I only need about 4" to be BSL so I will make that in about 8 more months, maybe sooner when I go back on the vits.
