Cultured in Media

Again, I did absolutely nothing at all to my hair. Lol I have just been hair lazy. I wore a bun all day. No pics to show because I slept most of the day away. However, I know you all love pictures as much as I do, so I will show you a style that I am really in love with. It's making me want to cut my bangs to fit this style into my "styles to go to" list.

A style that I found quick and easy to get me through one of those "unsure" days was a bun with a front swoop (which I call an accent). I applied some hair lotion, a little bit of jam for the edges, and a little bit of olive oil to the ends throughout my hair. Section off a portion in the front to make the "accent." It's up to you how much of an accent you want to swoop over. Until you are ready to mess with it, pin it down so you can focus on creating your bun. The the bun in the back, the more bushier your hair, the bigger your bun will be. My hair is naturally bushy when it is air dried. I have thick hair. What I did was wet it a little bit to make it easier to stay in place once I started bobby-pinning it down. I took the hair into both hands and started twisting in one twist all the way down to the ends loosely. Upon reaching the end of the twist, lightly roll up the hair and then pin down to the scalp. The sides should be very loose at this point a...

Day 19 through 21: Okay, oil rinsed Wednesday night, and dry wrapped hair again. I wore the following styles all week. Saturday, I washed and conditioned. After letting hair air dry over night, I decided to flat iron. It came out beautifully. I made sure I used heat protectant as always. So no complaints over here. ETA: Okay well day 23 was pure hell for me. First I OD on Nyquil. So I was extra drowsy. Plus it was rainy outside all day, so I was just miserable. Now to complete this messed up day, I went left work, headed to my car that was parked down the block to find this: A DAMN FLAT TIRE. IN THE RAIN. WITH THIS FRESHLY FLAT IRONED HAIR. AAAAHHHH. I looked a pure mess afterwards. All that time flat ironing went to waste. So I am here tonight as I type this update, re-flat ironing. Don't worry, this is my last time flat ironing for a while. My friend, who is natural, did not flat iron her hair for a whole year and finally did it for Christma...

For day 3, again, I didn't do much. I had a hard time trying to figure out how to style it but I ended up using a quarter size amount of Profectiv Hair Lotion. I Then left out a small section of hair for a front hump/bang. With the rest of the hair, I brushed back into a banana clip.  Since I combed the hair from the braidout, the banana clip  was hard to close, but I made it happen. I then twisted sections of the hair in the banana clip into two strand twists, pinning them around the banana clip. It actually came out really cute. 

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.
