My Black Beautiful Hair!

As a black woman i know we go through ALOT of frustration to make sure our hair looks good. I have been through it all and thought i would enlighten the girls in my life/ social network
on the different hair styles i have tryd on and the Ups and Downs to looking good.
then i will show you afew sexy hair styles by some sexy friends of mine!

Before i got some exposure into the outside world i always thought black americans always had naturaly good sleek hair, and i thoutht Kelly Rowland had Indian sleek black shiny hair, and If Nicky minaj hit the charts when i was much younger i bet i would have thought she is a natural blonde lol.




Personaly i think that its not acceptable to never have tryd a weave or in some serious situations lol a wig unless your hair is either a bundle of curly long soft hair or sleek flowing rich black hair, then
according to me your perfect just Style it.

As for the rest of us who were blessed with all the natural, strong, black, hard and dormant hair, i gues you are in the right place! I will give you afew of my tips and show you how to live and love it :-)

HUMAN  HAIR  V   SYNTHETIC HAIR
Human :
Can be curled or straightend with tongs or blowdryers to any style you want. Advantage is there is variety, disadvantage is that, it does not maintain the curls as long as  you would want and needs more attention to look good.
They can be used over and over if well maintained and therfore there is value for money. Disadvantage is that they are generaly more expensive.

Synthetic:
You can buy ones with whatever style you like, wether curly wavey or straight. advantage is that they will maintain this look all through and will look fresh, disadvantage is that you cant change the look and its permanent and they look rough when they wear out.
They are generaly cheaper but they can only be used Once! if you use it more than once just know It Does Not look good!

HOW DIFFERENT HAIR EXTENSIONS ARE PUT IN.

Bonding

• Bonding is the most common method of hair weaving, and lasts for a few weeks. It involves gluing weft weave hair in with natural hair for added length and fullness.

Sewn-In

• The natural hair is braided close to the head and weft weave hair is sewn into the braids. This is a variation of the bonding technique, and lasts for one to two months.

Braiding

• Loose-stranded weave hair is braided into the natural hair in different styles that can stay in for several months. Braids include box braids, tree braid, micro braids and twists.

Infusions

• Loose weave hair is bonded onto the natural hair in small sections with hot wax or hair glue. Infusions are very versatile and durable, lasting up to six months.

Lace-Front

• Lace-front weaving is more like wearing a wig. The front of the wig is natural-toned mesh material that sticks along the front of the hairline to look like natural hair

Before i finish this blog i just have to mention that it is VERY VERY annoyying when you have a hair extensions on with the inner part showing, where its attached to the head!
The whole point of having hair extensions is to give you a more stunning and natural look. Key point being NATURAL!! unfortunatly i dont have a picture of that, but i know it happens alot when people put full head weaves and they put a sideways split thats not well done to hide the threaded part of the extension!
