Protective Designs: BANTU KNOTS.

I've been experimenting a lot lately with different protective styles that I can actually do myself. When I was pregnant and couldn't do my own hair, I spent too much ca$h getting my hair braided at the salon, and the thought of spending more than $150 was so painful that I swore to do my own hair once I was done with the pregnancy business. Although I barely get the time to do my hair now that am a mommy, I try my best to find time, sometimes its impossible, but I make sure it's darn possible! For example, the other day I woke up at 4 in the AM to wash my hair, cause this was the time my baby was sound asleep and i knew once he woke up, I could kiss free hot shower and hair washing time goodbye. So you know, I don't mind a little sleep sacrifice for a clean hair! Anyways, I digress. Bantu knots, oh i love em'! They are so simple to do and take me less than half an hour! And the added bonus is: they make my hair look so fly when I take them out! Take a look:

I'm never keen on parting my hair because it stresses me out and I can never get the lines straight. #partitionanxiety
Sometime when I'm just in the house I throw on a scarf and call it a day, but when I have some errands to run, of course the knots come apart! 

I see length! This was after cutting a good inch off because my hair was a split ends circus.

GERMANY! I'm Back.

Back at it again in Germany, Love this place. The people, the beautiful colored houses, the vast fields of greens, the cool trains, the amazing white chocolate, the relaxed way of life. I could sing of my love for Germany forever!


So....My Senegalese twists did not even make it to two weeks before I got bored and took them out. *Sigh* I decided to do my signature style for my Germany trip, Janet collection Kinky braids! Hair styled up and barely visible in this pic, but more to come...SOON!
