these curlers

do you like working with these curlers? i always end up buying large rollers thinking my hair needs it. wrong? i got stronger curls with the smaller curlers. plus, i found the larger rollers take up so much space on my head that it's hard to sleep in. anyway, i won't spend any more money buying curling systems. i get the strongest holding curl when i use a pencil or a hair stick to roll my hair, pull the pencil out and then secure the roll with a hairpin. doesn't cost anything, doesn't take up space when i travel, and much easier to sleep.

Styling long hair

Thank you all for all your wonderful comments. Sorry i have not updated in months. The longer my hair gets, the more I'm running out of new style options. What are my options, hats, scarves, curls, straight, updo, knots, ponytail...then what? Have you got any suggestions? Right now i'm itching for a very angled, shoulder length, bob haircut. I don't have the nerve to chop yet and most people say not to cut it. My sister thinks the whole point of growing locks is: how long can you grow? Neat and even is what i want....i think. Anyway, this is what my hair looks like when it needs washing: limp curls and flat.


here it is nice and clean. My favorite go-to hairstyle. Easy, long lasting and edgy.

style party anyone?

This was the look I wanted to achieve when I tried to do a Dooby Wrap. This slight curl was achieved by rolling my damp hair with large perm rods (the green ones), rolling the hair forward or towards my face, dry overnight and then finger style it in the morning. You know what i would love? A locked hair styling party. Where people come with their tools, accessories for the hair, scarves or head coverings, styling products, etc. to share how their style is achieved. Would you come to that party?

Wild hair ties

i was trying to style my hair for the next day and came up with these wild ties simply by holding my hair in two sections at a time and tying them together.
