Hiii! & Hair ;)

I know.  I have totally neglected this blog.

My dearest sis/cuzin Ellen Joy just fb walled me to update my blogs!  I needed that reminder and it was just on the day that I discovered an additional destresser for myself!

Hair!....Having an older sister who always did my hair I never knew how to do my own hair...but now I'm forced to try it on my own and I'm so happy that I can actually do something about my hair!

After 24 years I actually know how to french braid!

Anyways, yesterday while chatting with my sister she showed me some videos on youtube about braiding and stuff.  So I browsed through other videos and started playing around with my hair and I actually learnt a thing or two that I could use on myself and would like to share it with you!

First and foremost...if I can do it you can! (SERIOUSLY- I was/am a handicapped and doing my own hair)

Here are a few pictures

(I go to work without make up on so yeah...bare faced! haha) While waiting on my kids I practiced on my hair =)

This is the fishtail braid.

Fishtail braid close up.  It took me a few times to finally get it to look pretty decent.
It does take practice and it's fun and suprisingly easy.

I tried to do what bubzbeauty someone I subscribed to on youtube was doing.  She has other cute hair tutorials too.
This is my attempt on making a side braid.  Just type in "side braid" on youtube and there are so many tutorials and techniques that can be learnt.  I'm still practicing this it look easy to do but it's not..:(  Hopefully I can give a better picture one day!
This is a rope braid I got this from lilithedarkmoon another on I subscribe to.  She has so many awesome hair ideas and she explains it really well.  

Sorry this is not clear but after making the rope braid she also shows us how to make it into a formal up-do.

My favorite and the one I'm most proud of is the fishbraid.  It looks nice and easy to do!  I'm going to attempt doing my first french braid on my own from top to bottom and see how it turns out ;)

Hopefully I'll have more to show you as I practice and put to test what I've been watching.  There is so much and it's not as difficult as I thought it would be =)

  1. Wow, hahaha! Congratulations on learning to French braid. I like the fish tail and the formal up do one. Did you try the one of the link i gave. I think that's cute. But doesn't look as good on my hair coz its so thin and limp. I think on your hair would look good.

    Really enjoying the blog! Love you!
