Any who, this Sunday (the 26th) will mark my 15th month since my BC! I decided to get my hair done in a special style for not only the holidays but also because I have made it 15 months natural, with no regrets or dissatisfaction. The lady that did my weave and kinky twists has been braiding my hair for years now, even back when I had a relaxer. Luckily for me, she lives in my neighborhood (FTW) so whenever I want to get jazzy with my hair I can literally WALK to her house. Today I took her a few style pictures that I was interested in and explained to her that the last cornrow style I had made me look like a 10 year old child. I wanted something sassy, fun and age appropriate. I'm grown. LOL I don't want to look like a kid. She is an excellent braider and I am very pleased with the results. My hair is cornrowed up with a nice design on the side and back of my head and the top bang area is in tiny twists. I decided to set them on rods when I got home so add some "umph" to the style. I kind of feel like my hair is "Goapele inspired" which I LOVE.

I am planning on going to her once a month to get my hair braided up.
I'm also aiming for BSL hair this time NEXT year.
Retaining length is super important to me so I guess protective styles are a must.
How are you wearing your hair for the holidays?
xoxo,
Alex
(Stay tuned for more pics tomorrow after I take the rods down.)

Oooh pretty. Looking forward to seeing it all curled up.
I LUV it. I'm aiming for BSL in 2011. I have a really great chance at getting it. Happy Holidays!
Love it! Umm... I may hit her up (I'll contact you for her info after the holiday). I've wanted cornrows but kept putting it off & just haven't had time. But this is so low maintenance and cute.
I wish there was someone in my neighborhood who braided as well as the lady in your's boo!! I especially appreciate that she braided down on your edges. That style will be quite nice to them!
the girl got some skills l wish l could find someone to braid my hair like that
