Going With It … Well, Not Really.

Standard

LOL!! So, yesterday, I showed you guys what happened to my hair on Wednesday. It went from this:

To this:

… in the matter of a few hours. So, on Thursday, I pulled it back into a French roll and puff of sorts, because the ends had some curl and the back was still pretty defined (sorry, no pics). But, last night, I decided to just go with it and do something I probably don’t do any more than once or twice a year. I decided to brush it out into my Diana Ross look ;).

I worked in medium sections, first applying some Wild Growth Hair Oil Light, then gently brushing with a paddle brush working up from the ends to the roots.

Of course, I can’t wear my hair like this to work. LOL!! So, I put it into two braids, spritzed them with some water, then I smoothed  down the top and edges with a mix of Eco Styler Olive Oil Gel and shea butter. Finally, I donned another “skull cap” I picked up at Sally’s and a satin bonnet for bed.

See my workday results here!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

So what’s up for the weekend?

One of my good friends is transitioning, but has been wearing her hair straight only. We are planning a “hair” party on Saturday so that I can help her experiment with a textured style :).

  2. I like your super big hair! Yeah Shelly, why cant you wear your hair to work? Girl, I’m a prosecutor/senior attorney and I’ve been rocking a super big Sylvers/Jackon 5 Afro all week! Yeah, it raised a few eyebrows, but I’m a Boss (lol). Lets integrate the business world! Sidebar, I’m an adjunct professor too ( I’m a hustler baby) and just ended teaching my summer course last night. When my students saw my crazy ass hair last night, I got so many questions about transitioning and natural hair. Expect some new lurkers to your website! Wear that beautiful hair out to work girl. We have to set the standard.

    • LOL!!! Queen, you are hilarious:)!!!! Don’t worry, I rocked the huge hair! Check out the post where I showed how I wore it to work. I just wanted to add a little wave to it, but knew it would still be big, soft and fluffy:).
