A New Natural: Angeline

This is Angeline. Angeline wanted to do the big chop so on 05/30/11, she did! Angeline's hair was very damaged from heat, perms, and lack of moisture. She saw that her hair could be made beautiful, but it was very unhealthy. After watching the success of my hair as well as Christina's she decided that enough was enough and she wanted to start over on a clean natural slate! SEE THE VIDEO BELOW!

Great Cheap Track: Dreamweaver Pose

Cost: $10-$30
Texture: 7/10 (it ain't remy to all my bosses, lol)
Styling Potential: 7/10
Overall Satisfaction: 7.5/10


Sometimes track is very expensive. One cannot afford it by the pound and others cannot afford Remy, Saga, or all of those other high end brands. And if you do your hair every two weeks, who is going to drop mad money for fresh tracks? Well a friend of mines told me about this cheap nice quality track. it is soft and has great swing and thickness. it comes in several lengths and is from $10-$30 a pack depending on where you shop. There is also a good amount of hair on the waft and it does not shed badly. It is also 100% human hair and it flat irons and curls beautifully. i did a roller set on this once and the curls came out excellent with out any heat! I would recommended this to the on a budget chick who wants to style their hair often with fresh track. This track can last however if you want to wear it for a while. 

Roller Set 4C / 4B Hair

These are the products I used:

Olive Oil Hair Lotion

Motions Extra Firm Wrapping Lotion

Diane Rollers (with spikes)

I basically took small sections and roller set my entire head. I did not worry about positioning because I like to pluck the curls out alot. 

I wore this hair style to two events. One event was a luncheon and the other event was an Awards Ceremony. This is the finished product:

How to Crochet Braid

This hairstyle is actually a 3 day style because on the third day it was such a fail I had to take it out. Now the end may not look like a fail but the upkeep and maintence of THIS TYPE OF HAIR is very hard. Now crochet braids with other types of hair I can maintain. This hair was truly a hard task and I could not take it but here is the how to. 

First you want to start off with freshly washed, conditioned, moisturized and corn rolled hair.

You take the latch hook and you slide it under your cornroll while the hook is OPEN. 

You then place a loop of the hair onto the latch hook and you close the latch. Be very careful because you do not want to snag any of your hair in the process. 

You then pull the hair through underneath the corn roll. 

You will be left with a loop of hair, You then do a slip knot with the hair from the other side. 

After you make the knot or loop you simply pull the hair through. 

Once you get the hang of it you will have beautiful and uniform knots with hair on them. 

This is my big crazy hair! 

To maintain this look you must braid your hair up every night! Small tight braids so it can last. They you simply pluck it out in the morning.
