Protective Hairstyles.

I loooovvvveeeee my hair and always want to keep it protected. But some protective styles are just NOT cute. lol

And its really hard to find cute protective styles for short hair. But oh well, we must make do.

Below are some options I frequently use:

Single braids are ALWAYS a classic protective style.

The only thing is, you have to be extremely careful of your edges. If you are like me and you have weak edges, you CANNOT do any of the following:

• Keep you braids in for too long (longer than one month)
• Braid the edges too tight or too small. (use equal amount extension and hair- you do not want to weigh down those fragile edges).
• Leave your hair unwashed for more than 2 weeks. The dirt builds up and keeps your hair from benefiting from the new nutrients and oils being added.
• Forget to moisturize either daily or once every 2 days.

Best protective style EVERRRRRR!!! Love it!!

And of course, there is always the infamous hat- especially in winter.

I don't always wear hats, but when I do, I go for the ones with a little subtle design. Like the flower on this one. (I will post pics later of how I personally transform a plain ol' hat to something pretty that you would want to wear every day lol)

When wearing hats, it is important to make sure that you hair is at least a little presentable. Accidents happen ladies!! lol

I remember seeing this picture and wishing so damn badly that I could duplicate this style. But knowing oh so well that my short hair would never be able to do this.

But being as stubborn as I am, i refused to let a little thing like length get in the way. So I did this:

I totally loved and enjoyed the attention this style got me. PLUS my hair is protected fully at the back!! 

That is all for now lovelies!!

And remember, always LYH!!!

Wave Nouveau

These are the wave nouveau products I use.

Once I apply the moisturizing finishing lotion on a clean head of hair. I  am good to go till the next wash. Every morning, I freshen my curls with the Finishing Mist.

I use the hair pudding or the smooth edge gel to keep my edges down if they don't wanna stay on their own. 

Wave Nouveau on freshly washed hair... worn as a wash and go. 

The best part of this is that unlike gel, it keeps your hair moisturized and does not flake.

Back with updates!! :)

I've been gone for a while...

I am not really used to having a blog so keeping it updated has been sort of a challenge for me. But I am back with some updates.

So last time I was here, I was trying out the Mane n' Tail brand. Well, sorry to say, that didn't really work for me. So I left it alone.

I am back to what last worked for me and that is my wave nouveau. I started using this product about a year ago and I am really not sure why I stopped using it to try something else. I think its because I was looking for something that would give me a miracle growth (lol).

But honestly, the wave nouveau has grown my hair faster than any other hair product.I chopped off about 3 inches in the summer and when I checked in January, my hair is back exactly where it was before I cut it. I was amazed by this only because normally my hair grows slower than this. But nonetheless, I was quite happy about the progress.

I will be making another post with picture of styles I wore throughout this period other than my staple style in my previous post.

LYH (Love Your Hair)
