Havana Twists...a breakup and the make-up......

Hola!

Man, what a crazy 3 days, so let's get right into it. As you know my hair has been a hot mess for a while. I've been dealing with disappearing edges, dryness and split ends. I felt it was time that my hair got a much needed break and Havana Twists was the way to go. The time finally came for the twists to be installed and I was EXCITED! I spent hours drooling over pictures of Havana twists, dreaming of the ways I was going to rock this style.....

Until...

I got them done and I hated them.

*stops the presses*

This was my hair after my cousin installed the twists. Initially it was kinda hard to get the invisible root method but afterwards my cousin was able to do it...or so I thought. Afterwards, once she was done, this is what my hair looked like. I...liked it? But it wasn't love. Why didn't I love it? 

The shit felt like a ton of bricks on my head. It was HEAVY. I couldn't fit my hair into a bun, I couldn't sleep because it was so long and difficult to manage. It was so long that I had to throw my hair over the pillow just to sleep comfortably. That morning, I decided to cut them but to no avail, it was too heavy. Not only was the hair was too heavy but my cousin wasn't able to do the invisible root method so my gut was telling me my edges were suffering.  So I decided to take the bulls by the horn and re-twist my own hair.

WHO. THE.  HELL. TOLD. ME. TO . DO . THAT. Long story short, it took my 4 hours to get the invisible twist method, and finally, I did it!

Now....I LOVE my hair!


It feels so light that I can't believe there's extensions in my hair. I feel so good about this style that I'm going to do my little sister's hair. I'm so happy!

See??? It blends perfectly with my natural hair. 

Till next time!
