Cultured in Media

Today is June 29th, a Sunday, so i did not do anything to my hair as of yet except washed, deep conditioned, conditioned, and oiled my scalp because it was severely dry that I had no choice. Now I am sitting here with big hair that is thrown back into a ponytail, and no idea what to do with it. (See image below) Any help anyone? Times like these are what leads me to flat ironing. Sigh. I know, I know, I am still sticking to the "No (Summer) Heat Challenge." I pray this brings me some growth, retention, and thickness to these strands. Now I am stuck as to what to do with my hair for this week. I really love the results that I got by wearing two buns overnight. The pictures below are all no heat styled curls. So what should I do with my hair for tomorrow at least? Should I bun it? Braid out? Twist out? Bun-out? Bantu Knot out? What? I do know that I am not doing a Wash N Go, because it just like "Oh Hell No" every time I try it. I t...

I love taking pictures of different hairstyles I do. And just like last time with this challenge, I will document many different styles I create. So far for days one through five, I washed my hair, deep conditioned it, and wore a bun for the first three days. For the last two days, I wore a braid out. Nothing spectacular but a lot of my patients loved the big hair. This is my hair with no product after a fresh wash: This is a reverse bun that I did. I loved how big and full it was. I received many compliments on it. And the braid out I have wore yesterday.  Tonight, I may cowash, and wear a big bun or wear a nice wash and go to one side, or I may try to find someway to preserve this braidout. Either way, I will snap a few pictures. I fought so hard not to use the flat iron on Monday. Lol

Alright, soooo the wig thing is just not for me. Maybe if I found a human hair one that looked beyond great on me, I would rock it but for now, no thank you. For this week, everyday, I have been wearing my hair in a fabulous braid out that I have been doing on unwashed hair. The last time I washed my hair was two weeks ago this upcoming Sunday. Each night before I go to bed, I braid hair into five long cornrows. Not too tight, and not too loose. The ends I roll up into each other and secure with a bobby pin. I have been getting so many compliments that I think I will wear this same style next week. The rate this is going, I may extend this "NO HEAT CHALLENGE" until April 12th. Who knows. Here are some pictures from this week so far.

madison_5th One thing I love to do is search the web. I love looking at hair styles, whether they are natural, relaxed, transitioning, or texturized. So I thought it would be fun to look at different Holiday hair styles from Instagram. I hope you enjoy a few styles from fellow instagramers. If you do not see their instagram names under the picture, just click the picture and the name will appear.
