27 pieces...

I myself have never worn a 27 piece. However since I am a hairstylist I do them for others. My best friend wanted her hair done. She wanted something different because she is attempting to switch up her look for the summertime!! Everyone should look their best when the warm weather hits!

So I did her a quick cute 27 piece. I have not seen anyone wear it this way before. So here are the pics!!













She loves it!! I love it!! Im actually thinking of doing one on myself since my hair is shorter I can actually wear these types of styles now. I glued the hair to 3 wig caps to make sure that absolutely no glue touched her hair!

So what do you think??? Yay?? or Nay??

My lacefront and updates

Over the past month or so I have been wearing my hair braided underneath my lacefront wig. This is going to be my protective style for a little while longer. I do not glue it down every day when I wear it. I do however glue the front hairline down and tie it with a scarf for a few minutes when I am going to be out or if the wind is blowing to keep it secure. Don't want the wind to blow the hairline up while in the middle of a conversation you know.. lol

I wash my lace wig every other day to keep it looking fresh. I have found that the hair on this wig really needs to be freshly washed sometimes daily or it gets really tangled. I condition with every wash using a deep conditioner once a week.

As for styling the wig.. I mostly just wear it straight. This wig is light yaki chinese hair. And for me it is very hard to curl. I have spent countless hours in front of the mirror trying to get it to curl with my FHI iron. Only to achieve a bump at the ends.. lol Then the bum falls completely by the end of the day.... :/ Oh well.

I redo my braids every other week when they feel loose or too frizzy. I remove my wig every night and put it on my wig head. I tie my hair down with a satin scarf. I shampoo my scalp while my braids are still in every week to keep it nice and clean and itch free.

I have been using my scalp cream that I made every day as my topical growth aid. It contains both sulfur powder and MegaTek, along with a few essential oils.

I am working my way back to getting everything back on track!! I have started back on my vits been consistent for about a month or so. My skin is starting to clear up!! Yess!! I have noticed that I am a bit more energetic also. Yay for me!!

I actually bought this wig about 2 years ago from a chinese vendor. I have old pics in my fotki album HERE and I recently twitpic'd it HERE and HERE

The password to the LF album is ltyaki
All the specs on this particular wig are in the info portion of that album.

I do want to get another lace wig. Next time I will try out Indian hair!! Gotta do some research on the current vendor that are out there now.

Getting back on track!!

It can be very easy to lose your way and forget to keep up with your hair regimen. I myself have found that since I cut my hair I have not kept up with the things I used to do with my hair.
I have not been wearing my satin scarf every night, which in my experience is a huge nono...
I have been washing whenever I feel like instead of sticking to a weekly regimen of shampooing and deep conditioning...

Bad Bad Mar!!! Lol

However, I have kept up with my daily cowashing. This I can say makes up for my lack of consistency. My hair remains soft as ever and I do not experience too much breakage.

Don't get me wrong... If I do keep this up then I will not make much progress. I will not make it back to BSL. Therefore, I must nip this in the bud!! My life as a hard working single mom has been absolutely Crazy!! There is not much about myself that I do actually put online. However things are beginning to get a little easier... (I hope lol)

I have now made the decision to get my hair back where it needs to be. I am going to put myself through a personal challenge so that I can be better all around! Hair, health, all together healthy happy lifestyle for all of us in my household... Is that possible??

I recently moved into a new house. Met family members who I never knew existed!! And cut ties with more people who brought negativity to my otherwise happy life. Chopped off all my hair...

Ummm.... Yea I think it's about time to start fresh lol

My laptop is busted for now. I'm posting from my iPod.. :P I will be able to go into greater detail and post more often once I get it fixed.

But right now I am going to start off by shampooing and deep conditoning my hair. I am then going to throw in some French braids as my protective style for the week. By then my laptop should be fixed... I think...
In the mean time I am going to go through all my old posts for old techniques and such so that I can come up with a simple game plan.

That's all for now!!
Ttys!!

More on Brush Belts!

So I recorded a few vids on my brushes and this one on my brush belts. Youtube is acting up way to much and has bee for the past week or so! It is literally taking an entire day to upload 5 min videos!!
I mean WTF!! It usually only takes 20-30 mins!!

I have recorded a bunch of vids and this one was the only one that I was able to get through. I have one more trying to upload right now and that one is saying 35 hrs...

Any way here are my brush belts... One from ebay, one from coastal scents. You can actually find both on ebay. I love the big one! So happy I found it!! I might even buy another one just because.. :P
