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!!

Protective style this week.....with pictures!!!! Got my cam :D Awesome stuff

I did the same style that I had told you about last week. But at least now you get to see it!! I am just really excited to have a camera now, because I have not been following my journey well, except mentally. Now I will be able to look back at pictures when my hair stretches down my back. lol. Well, that is what I am working for.

This time around I used Ampro style and jam to sleek my hair back with a boar bristle brush. I have spoken about this product before and I am still not a big fan of it. It has mineral oil as one of it's main ingredients. But I did not get to buy more gel(it finished on Saturday), so I had to improvise :( After next week I should be back on the anti-mineral oil train....I really do hate it. But hopefully a week of it won't kill me. Once again, not intending to pull this style out until Saturday or Sunday next week.

Hand in Hair syndrome. ARRGHH!!!!

Sigh, I am really proud of myself and all that, really. For moving from washing my hair everyday and constantly combing it, etc...to actually being able to keep a style for a whole week(roll eyes). But, I am soooo itching to pull my hair out right now. I want to go run it under the shower and give it a co-wash. But this girl is going to suffer. lol, because I am NOT, I repeat Not(trying to convince myself) going to pull this hair out until wash day...or the day before...at least.... Can't wait to get my camera! I feel tortured not being able to put up any pictures yet.
