I’m Like One Away And About To Explode!

by Monique on June 21, 2008


So, this is post #99… and I haven’t been posting because I have had so much to say and didn’t want to pass my 100th post without it’s due celebration and answer the questions that were asked of me.

Anyway… I have a lot to discuss.

For starters, my braids:

I think they look amazing. I didn’t get them braided all the way down. Instead, without realizing it, I chose to have her braid like 2 inches of hair and leave the rest loose. When I realized the error of my decision I was devastated but it was too late for me to have her go back and do more braiding. She did these itty bitty braids that I personally doubt I could be patient enough to do for 30 minutes. It took her over 7 hours to do mine.

When she got done, I was pain free, but I looked like some off version of Diana Ross. I had so much wacky hair and she left it the same length it was so it was down to my ass. Not fun.

I got home and opted to not take pictures cause the braids were stiff and the hair was too long. I had no idea what I was going to do with the hair because there was no way in hell I was going to walk around with Diana Ross hair down to my ass. SO, I grabbed my scissors and got to cutting. It’s finally loosened up, and it’s fallen and acting like normal hair. One of the things I am not too happy about it that I wasn’t able to get the hair I wanted to. I bought some really cheap human hair which gets tangled and easily looks frizzy. But next time I will not make the same mistake.

Anyway, here is what I look like this week (I look awful so don’t look too hard):

I am having so much fun with it, and I get way too many compliments on my new slimmer version of Chaka Khan’s hairdo… not that Chaka is any better than Diana’s wide fro… But it’s my hair now and I’m loving it. Plus it’s really entertaining when people stare at me and then want to touch it and ask me a million questions. I’m not allowing myself to think about when I have to take them down or even when I have to sit down again for another seven hours. How ever will I duplicate my amazing haircut?!?!?
