Cultured in Media

This week's hairstyle will be a simple braids (cornrows) to the side with a portion of "bang" area left out for either twists or a twist out. I haven't decided if I was going to take the twists out for tomorrow or wait until mid week so the curls will be tighter. Personally, I don't look right with the twist.  I'm still in the "no heat" challenge so this is helping me cope without straightening. I will use my one heat pass for when I go away on vacation on August 2nd, but I am trying to think of an alternate style to wear away so I can be purely heat free for the summer. 

Everything came out better than I expected. I looooove these braids. Had them in for a week now. Just posting to show you the finished result. It took me a total of 12 hours to complete considering I had to take care of a baby plus my grandfather just had triple bypass surgery. Now everybody is asking me to do theirs. Lol

I found a way to keep heat out of my hair temporarily. I don't have to flat iron to get straight hair. I just simply have to wash as normal, condition, then apply wrap/setting lotion to my hair along with some oil. Apply it to the hair in a beehive form. Make sure it's nice and flat. Then wrap with a scarf. Allow it to dry overnight. The next morning, you should see a straighter style without the use of heat. I usually put the front up in a bun and leave the back down. It actually works and this will be my go-to way of straight hair instead of heat until summer.
