Protective Style'n

(image from http://www.allaboutmyhair.com)

As you all know I have been wearing my hair in PS's for weeks now. My braids did not last a month and I was slightly disappointed by that. I was hoping to get at least 4 weeks out of them but that failed. My hair got extremely frizzy and it started to look very raggedy in my opinion. Anyways, I decided it was time to go ahead and get WEAVED UP! I have been searching for the perfect hair for months now. Eryn over at Hair2ToeBeauty referred me to All About my Hair online and I found, literally, the PERFECT hair. It's called Kinky Curly wefted hair and it's amazing! Pricey BUT amazing. I believe in paying for quality and I am very happy with my purchase. 4 oz of this hair is $95 (for the shortest length). Most people need 8 oz of hair for a full weave like I got. I ended up getting 12 inch hair and paying *brace your self* $206.00 for it. Now, before y'all fall out, this hair can last me up to a year if I treat it right (which I will). I can re-use it over and over again and that is a PLUS. I have had the weave in since Friday and so far I haven't experienced any mattings or sheeding. I actually sealed the weft with "Aleene's No Fray" glue that I got at Michaels. My friend told me that sealing the weft was a good idea to prevent any access shedding that may occur while the weave is in. I am so satisfied with this hair, I actually co-washed it the other night and put 7 big twists in it. I am rocking a 2 day old T.O. and it looks GREAT!

I know y'all want to see pictures, so click the jump to see what all the fuss is about!

Yaaay!! It looks awesome!

vetty said...

Alisa said...

It looks great on you and really natural. But for me, the day I spend $200 on anything for my hair, I'm cutting it all off again lol!I hope that this lasts longer than all the other styles you've had...A new style every month may lead to a "protective style regimen" for you wallet!

Alexandra said...

Lol, thank beautiful ladies!

@Alisa girl, this stuff WILL LAST lol shoooooot. Plus this hair is reusable for up to a year. So even if I take it out I won't have to buy more. My other braided styles were with my own hair and were only meant to last 2.5 weeks. I figured a weave would be more cost efficient then spending $60 every 2 weeks to get my hair re-cornrowed. You're right it does get $$$$.
