Curls, Curls and more Curls!

I swear that i'm gonna get this making videos for youtube thing right, darnit! What i tried to do was record a demo of how make big spiral curls. Well...i made the vid. only problem is that the vid is too long! whereas, my usual problem is that the vid stops recording due to lack of memory. adios mio! in any event, the curl tutorial had to be scrapped. maybe i'll figure out how to edit it.

This past sunday i washed and flat ironed my Bobbi Boss IndiRemi French Wave. The following clip is very short...so watch!

After thoroughly drying, i flat ironed the hair. the hair was relatively easy to straighten and took me about 35 minutes. Then i went on to curl the hair...



The end result:

Pixie Cut - Full Head Weave

Weaves are my specialty.

Having said that, the following montage is of my latest work, with one of my favorite people ♥. As you will see, L has a full head of dense, super strong hair. She had been wearing a relaxer since the 90's and in October of 2010 she decided to break her chemical chains and go natural. But L, like so many (myself included), was and is unwilling to commit to the big chop. With all of that hair, i don't blame her...

So, for the past few months L and i have been weaving her hair up...and with great results. With every take down she gets some kind of intense conditioner (alternating between protein and moisture treatments) and a sweet scalp massage. She is steady growing her hair and most importantly, with this protective style, she's not manipulating her own hair on a daily basis. yay to that!!!

The hair used can be purchased at any beauty supply store and i highly recommend it! Outre Velvet Remi (27 piece, w/2, 4 and 6") comes in a nicely decorated, square, purple and silver box, and costs only $22. Trust and believe that L and i are hair snobs. But this BSS hair right here? wears for 6 weeks with no problem. I'm talking, our last install, L worked out religiously but the hair did not bunch, get clumpy/sticky, or show any adverse affects. As soon we washed it, it looked brand new again.

Anywho...she loves it!
