Faux Locks Protective Style

For all of those that know me, you know that I like to change my hair style quite frequently. But this time around since I did cut my hair, I am trying to focus on maintaining a style for at least 4 weeks minimum. I had my HerGivenHair in before this style but decided to change it up a little before my weave reinstall. So I decided to do something fun and edgy and thought of faux locks. I installed this by crochet braiding them and the style took under 2 hours. Here are some pics:

My mother actually did my install and the hair cost me $7 a pack. I paid about $45 total. Share what you think of my new look :)

I was finally able to get my hands on this bad boy after refusing to go through another wash day without it. Ladies & gentlemen tonight I am going to introduce you to the brand Aquis. The product that I own from this company is called Lisse Luxe Hair Towel which is a microfiber hair towel which dries hair in such a short amount of time. I swear to you I had this towel wrapped around my hair for no more than 10 minutes and after my hair was only damp. I am sure if I would have kept it on longer my hair would of been dry completely but due to the fact that I was in a rush 10 minutes was all I had. But that was enough time for me to actually see if the product worked or not and please let me tell you it does. There is even a waffle luxe hair towel for more course hair (I probably should definitely own this one). The description specifically says African hair or Asian hair.

Yes everyone, I went there. After coming back from the salon (check old post) I noticed that my ends were still split. It got to a point of irritation and me realizing that my ends were fried (the whole bleached part). I actually just wanted to chop my hair off days after getting my silk press but decided against it and said that I would just grow my hair out. But the more I looked at my hair the more irritated and impatient I became so I finally decided to take another trip to the salon and this time I went to Carol's Daughter Mirror salon. My experience there was way different than with the place I went to 3 weeks ago. My stylist seemed to really care about her work and seemed extremely knowledgeable about what she was doing. I just told her I wanted healthy hair and to chop off how much she had to and she cut my hair in a rounded cut. I left the shop feeling much different but refreshed. I actually really like the short hair although I do plan on protective styling for the rest of the Winter. But I love it to the point where I feel like there is a chance when I do go back to visit my stylist I might get a styled cut but we will see... But photoed below is the outcome.

I also recorded my before and after experience so I'll post the videos here
