Wigging It Out-This Months Protective Style

This blog is all about me trying to grow my natural hair long to it's full potential according to genetics, hence the name. But growing natural hair out can be a very tricky thing with single strand knots, tangles, split ends, and breakage thrown into the mix. Because of this, protective styles will be the most suggested to those who are trying to find ways to grow their hair to long natural lengths and I am on that train. Choo! choo! LOL

So far I have tried twists, flat twists, braids with my own hair and with yarn. Now I am trying out..a wig! All of the other styles I have tried require me to manipulate it in some way to make it presentable whenever I'm heading out. So this time I wanted to try one that would allow me the ease of looking good without manipulating my hair at all, excepting on wash days. Which are really just 2 days out of the week. I have gotten too used to my weekly washes and have no intention of changing that unless I get a revelation at the point that my hair starts getting much longer. 

I made the wig myself and I call her Ms. Chynn, because of what I have been hearing since wearing her. Words such as "You like a likkle Chiney" and "It makes you look sorta Asian" were enough to make the name fitting. Haha!

I really didn't do anything fancy, it's just a wig cap with some tracks glued on and then cut to how I wanted it. I did a little amateur shoot wearing her. Here she is;






Now you know a girl is just having fun right? So this is  no perfect shots-just me and Ms. Chynn. I hope to keep her for the rest of this month, unless she starts looking real untidy, because there is no way I will be doing that look for Christmas. Well I am off to my jobby now. Have to pay the bills, so; have a great hump day!!

The Curly Girl Collective’s Curl Crush Event in NYC | Black Girl with Long Hair

This natural hair meet up looks like it was a total blast!! It's whenever I see these things that I wish I could just fly up for the evEnts and then hop on a plane and find myself back home. But of course, it never is that easy *shake my head* Not to dispair though, Jamaica is slowly but surely getting on the meet-up train. I missed two so far, thanks to finding out two late on both occasions. But never again I say!

On another note, check out The Curly Girl Collective’s Curl Crush Event in NYC | Black Girl with Long Hair the pictures are amazing! Some real beautiful natural ladies were gracing the building with their auras; chatting, exchanging tips, playing games and just having a happy time.

My finger coils are on their  last. But I'm making it work, not bad though seeing that I washed them on Wednesday.
