3 blown out up-do styles

Here are a few collages of the 3 styles I created on my blown out hair. Overall - HATED IT... lol.

My hair is very fine, aka spiderwebby, when blown out. It is extremely fluffy and reactive to moisture, pressure, wind... Thus I could wear no "out styles" without anticipating full reversion within hours, leading to knots and tangles. So instead I kept it twisted or braided up, and I kept the ends tucked. I'm not sure how to explain exactly what I did! It may be clear from the different angles in the picts, but just let me know in the comments if I can clarify anything.

In my hair I used Hairveda's almond Glaze  At night I added some Shea moisture wrap foam stuff (not impressed- will remain unnamed...) to keep the 5-8 braids I would put in from getting too dry, and to encourage them to set stretched. I included picts of the am takedown texture/look at the end of this post.  Once I even touched the "chunks" they began to frizz out, so I was never able to wear it out :-(

  2. Those styles are sweet, you should have done some video tutorials on them. My flat twists and braiding skills are so so...lol. But I will definitely see if I can do this on my hair. It's a different texture than yours 4b but it should still work just after some practice.

  3. Your hair is beautiful! I have recently been trying out blow outs and last night I absolutely fell in love with Organix Morrocan Argan Oil Intensive Treatment and Blow Out Cream...along with some Cantu Shea Butter Hair Dressing Pomeade...When I say my super thick, fluffy hair has met it's match I definitely mean it...I am in love with these products.

  4. Thanks! :-D
    Organix you say?? I have used the foam and I liked it a lot and forgot about it! I will have to try it again instead of the Shea one I used this time.
