Let's see your summer styles!!!

[RabiaElaine]

Nice hair..what kind of braiding hair is that? Can I get it online? Thanks

Yes you can order online. It's from Adorables Hair company or something like that...they also have a store in Manhattan. I'll find the site for you and post it. The hair is a mix, 70% french refined and 30% spanish wavy hair. If you want that exact look give them that info and they mix it for you. I loved that hair...it was pricey though...I paid about 225 and I didn't even have enough for my head...I had to mix in some cheap bss hair which tangled in the back.

This time around I used cheaper hair which tangles too. That hair from last summer is the best for a curly look.

Pokahontas, your hair is beautiful!

I have been wearing a stretched out afro puff... but I need to give my hair a rest from all the dry combing... once I get this wash-n-go technique down, that will be my summer style.

Thanks Poohbear. Yeah, i'm doing wash n' go's now also. I think I've finally perfected mine, lol. It takes a lot of trial and error so I know what you mean.

I paid someone to do 'em just 'cause I was lazy. It took about 5 hours. I have a couple more pics in my album. But I have to tell you I don't like them at all. When I asked the braider to make them bigger and she showed me a picture, they didn't look like dukeys. I would have said . They're heavy (especially wet) and I think I look like a 5 year old. But I'm keeping them until August 3 as planned. Next time I'll check while she's braiding. This time I really wasn't paying attention because I thought we had a clear understanding.

Oh wow, I'd never guess it was just a banana clip. It looks like a fancy updo that would take forever to do. Great job. I love easy styles.

What do you apply to your hair when you do your wash n go's? Very nice

Thank You. For the last pics I posted all I used was Elucence Moisture Balance conditioner as a leave-in and I layered a small amount of Sunsilk No-Frizz over it. I brushed it through w/ my Denman brush which really helps w/ curl definition.

crlsweetie, please do tell how you acheived this style with a banana clip. It's cute. Thanx

Well kombov: I slicked back the sides with Glaze (elasta qp) then secured with a regular banana clip. Then I rolled the front/top and did the back last. I started from the crown and then did the nape last. Then I airdried overnight, smoothed the front cause I didn't want a lot of hair in my face (it's almost 100 degrees here) and then used a little coconut oil for shine!
