Protective Styles & My Wishlist

Well, as I stated in my last post I have just been wearing a ponytail or wearing it down. I’m not as talented as some other folks on Hairlista and Youtube when it comes to styling and also because I don’t wear weave a lot that makes it even harder for me. Thanks to youtube I have gained a few ideals that’s gonna get me through my stretch…because I do plan to go a little longer than 12 weeks this time so I think I know what will work. The first thing that I had to do is to limit the amount of heat that I have been using over the past two weeks I am usually good with going without it but my hair appearance wise hasn’t been decent everyday so I do know that starting September I will be at least 5 weeks post and During weeks 5-10 I say maybe a month…I plan on just rocking a weave ponytail that matches my hair texture…and also to master this air drying issue cause I really need to lay off of the blow dryer at least with the heat and use cool after air drying for maybe an hour so I am researching on how to do a better airdry.

Also I forgot I am including goddess braids into my style list as well…my church is having their annual marriage retreat and honestly I don’t wanna worry about my hair so I plan to have goddess braids for about a week or two….

Now after week 10 I want to concentrate in just cornrows in the front and keeping a nice bun or ponytail in the back and just keeping it up for about two or three weeks and just keeping it moisturized and tied up I am raking up my girls to assist me in the braiding section because I am not quiet an expert in corn rowing my hair. Twists will also be included as well….. here are a few styles I wanna recreate......

           

 

I like these styles because the require low manipulation and it's protecting my ends and giving me liberty to retain length.....Alicia Keys is known for her cute braid styles so this is what i plan to do all through late September through November, and depending on how it goes maybe even december. This for me is something i can stick with. There are a few other styles that I will want to recreate along the way through my journey. I do see that this is somthing that I will just have to accept that as of right now styling my hair is not anything that I'm good at but i won't give up and i won't stop with my regimen....this is all a part of me keeping my hair protected. And aslo i can't seem to keep my hands out of my hair. So wish me luck that all of this will work out well for me.

Be Blessed....
