I LOVE ACCESSORIES!!!
I mean we have always had a nice little friendship going on. When I was loose, I was really into them when it was shorter and then when it got longer I sort of stopped sparkling it up. I really don't have a reason why, I just got lazy I guess or too irritated with detangling to really want to do much else by the time it was finished. I'm saying detangling wasn't horrible, but as I previously mentioned... I was lazy lol
So now I have all of this extra time and energy to devote to styling my hair instead of doing my hair. I'm saying with my loose hair, before work I would have to at least spritz my hair, fluff it, and touch it up in several places. That would take usually 15 - 18 minutes. If I did a full fledged wash and go, it would probably be about 22-26 minutes. (Which contained so much wash and so little go!) .
Now I either spray it with a water bottle or rinse it in the shower, then immediately spend time styling. 2-6 minutes tops. I feel sparkly again. :)
So let me show you how I've been decorating.
First I broke out some lock jewelry. I bought them before I ever locked my hair and when I wore one on my installation day, I had to pull 3 braids through it to get it to stay on. Now I only use one lock. I've worn this as pictured and also dangling from the end of a ponytail I bought this on Etsy from MsLadyLocks.
I also have this cute feather headband! It's from Forever21. They have a bunch of really cute hair accessories ranging for $1 to about $10. I bought 7 different things, and my bill was less that $25 with shipping and handling.
Now I've got this coil from Cherry! I actually got several different ones in gorgeous bright colors that I love, so be on the lookout for other colors/styles. I got a bunch of compliments on it today when I ran to the store. (LOL I got it today and had to use it immediately!) BTW: I always like purchasing things from nice people, and Cherry was such a delight to purchase from. Check out her website, I'll definitely be going back to it.
My 5 month anniversary is in 5 days (Whoop whoop!!) so I'll be back next weekend with an update. I've also been working on a style post. On top of that, I got a new moisturizer today that I'll be trying out, so I'll have a post about that coming up soon as well.
Keep it nappy y'all!!
*flips locks* Deuces!!
I love both of your loc jewelries! I'm making my own (a little) and I have bright red wire that I'll be trying out, but the blue is beautiful. Congrats on your five months! I just hit mine last week. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you as well! I haven't started making jewelry yet, I don't think I'm crafty enough for that. I'll be checking your blog to see what you make. :)
