_Princess_'s Hair Journal

Ok, scratch gettin' my hair cut 2day, I forgot Miss Vanessa's closed on Mondays..So that means I'mma get it cut on Friday..So 2day I'mma decide on tha color I want n probably pick up tha hair @ tha same time...But I also then have ta decide on tha type of hair I'mma get...

But now that I looked @ tha calendar I gotta get my hair done ON Friday since she closed on Mondays...SO I'mma get my hair cut on Friday & done...So me decidin' on tha hair n color is a MUST now for 2day because I'm only free 2day & Friday..@ times I'm slo I swear!  But its ok, I'm not hidin' it or denyin' it!

Right now I have tha color narrowed down to a dark chestnut brown solid or a dark chestnut brown with nice golden brown/honey brown type highlights or mix (granted I don't see anotha color I really really really like n want @ tha BSS )

Aight well I got tha hair, wasn't in any of tha colors I would have preferred but it will do (F1B/30)..I'm stuck wit my long hair til Friday when I get it cut n braided up n on vacation for a while...Now I got my hair wrapped up in my du-rag, ready fa bed...

Ok so scratch tha whole straight hairstyle similar to Rih-Rih's, I'mma do that anotha time...I've decided on goin' with tha deep waves which I jus adore..What really sold me on it was jus tha way it looks when wet , I think that would be soo much easier tha manage than tha straight look n wit this internship, I don't got much time ta fuss wit my hair...

With that bein' said, 2morra I gotta go back to tha BSS & exchange tha straight for tha wavy, then head right fa Miss Vanessas' once thas all said n done (gonna be there for awhile) I gotta pick up my sista n might head to tha mall cause word has it that I'mma be goin' to Barbados baby!!

Ok, so I got my hair done 2day..Got my wavy/curly hair...No bangs, like I thought I was gonna get, but its thick as hell which I dont mind @ all cause my hair is thin as hell...Though it makes it look like I gotta big ol' fo'head, I'm jus not used ta havin' alla my hair pulled back...

Aight well 2days tha day I been waitin' fa..picture day, tha main reason I got my hair done..I jus gotta figure out what I'mma wear & figure out how ta fix tha front of my hair so that it is how Vanessa did it n hopefully it'll stay n not have tha tracks sho...So I gotta go experiment with that ASAP since its almost 12 n I gotta be out tha door by 2 & I gotta figure out what I'mma wear...

So I was able ta get tha front of my hair ta stay put & blend & cover tha track yay! Now I kno its possible (for my lil inexperienced-self) And for tha days I don't feel like goin' thru tha lil process (gellin'/greasin' up tha hair, blow dryin' it n sprayin' it down some n a lil more dryin') I can jus tie up my hair witta headband or scarf...But now tha otha thing gotta wait n see is how them pictures came out because that lady took them pictures mad quick..I wonder if their photo studio is close or find-able incase them pictures come out bad..

Ok so maybe Miss Nessa isn't closed on Mondays like I thought but now I have her #, lost tha card...

But yea, this gel I put on tha front of my hair ta keep it up & help it blend n alla that, isn't treatin' my hair too well..I went ta wash it out and a bunch of my hair fell out ..So I gotta get this mess outta my hair ASAP n keep from usin' it or figure out some sort of combination/concoction so that I can use it but have it less harsh on my hair because I'm not a headband person & I can't have my hair tied up all tha time, ie like 2morra when I go to tha Big East Career Fair..

Aight well I'm thinkin' of/tryin' ta picture how my hair'd look in rollers/do a roller set...This Friday my sista got somethin' planned fa my b-day so I'm thinkin' of givin' it a try/experimentin' wit it then...Kinda think it might look cute but then I kinda think it might look funny , which is why I gotta experiment so I shall kno fa sure...I shall be back wit tha results...

Even somethin' similar to what Jennifer Lopez has is cute...

Afta havin' almost 2 weeks of technical difficulites I'm bac wit some updates to my hair..On tha 3rd I got bored n cut my hair short, bout chin lenght and it came out lookin' cute...But that only lasted a week cause I got bored some more with it n took it all out las Thursday so now I'm back ta rockin' my short, fine, baby short hair.

OT, kinda interested in learnin' how ta Samba lol, hell wanna learn some of them dances they be doin' there lol..I wanna learn how ta dance man!

Ok, graduation is next Monday, and I'mma get my hair done on eitha Friday or Saturday and I'm goin' fa a head full of curls, already got my hair...Jus hopin' that I would leave with a full head of curls  I'm gonna be mad specific with Miss Nessa fa real fa real, I wasn't feelin' tha whole leavin' some hair out part, specially since my hair is mad thin n tha only way ta cover-up tha track or "blend" was ta use mad black gel-ish thing which made my hair mad hard n fall out...

Aight so I got my hair done on Friday, since she's not in on Saturdays...But yea I got my curls, I hadda get a lil bit of hair left out since a bang wouldn't of looked right with it..So I gotta attempt tha "blendin" thing again, which as I stated before sucks because my hair is mad thin so blended or not you can still see tha tracks and to try and hide tha tracks I gotta use this black gel stuff which makes my hair mad hard n fall out...But I'm not thinking about that now..My main concern is figuring out how ta 'set' my hair so that when I sleep, I don't smush/flatten tha curls which I jus adore and my parents seem to like as well ..I need batteries so that I can take pics of me & my new look..But I'mma get them soon, hell I gotta get some 2morra cause graduation is Monday and I'mma need them ta take pics!! And of course I'mma need them for when I go away on vacation.

Aight I'm about ta wash my hair for tha 1st time and this is my 1st time with curly hair, I really don't kno what ta do or whats tha best way ta wash curly hair without messin' up them curls...So its an experiment. And I thought I'd keep track of things I used/what works for this hair and for all the other hair I'll use or have used just for future refrence.

So I'll start with my 1st install: 12 inches, layered cut, straight hair, brand "Best Hairs" I believe, not certain b/c I unfortunately didn't get a good look @ tha package nor thought ta keep it n my girl done did toss it  but tha hair was sooo good fa me...

Alright so I washed my hair las night in hopes ta cleanse it of tha stuff I put in n ta detangle it but once tha hair absorbed tha water, I smelt tha smell perms have and my hair/curls started straightening out. So yea, I lost my pretty pretty curls  and now have long wavyish hair, but its human hair so I can straighten it out n use tha curling iron on it, but I doubt I can get back my curls.

I tried to make it work as long as I could (1 week and like 2 days), tha hair sucks once it was wet/curls were gone. Yes I had longer wavyish hair but it stunk. It still smelt like perm and wouldn't stop leaking color when wet, like tha dye kept washing off (which stunk some more and made everything a brownish color) NOT to mention it itched the hell out of me! I wouldn't stop itching OMG did it itch!

Ok since getting full head weaves cost so much I've been thinkin' of investing in some wigs since they cost less than buying tha hair and with how much it costs ta get it intalled you can get you a few wigs for that price.  Well I have 2 of them which I really like, I jus got tha 2nd one yestaday and I love it, gotta work with tha bangs some cause the kinda long, come past my eyes and don't wanna stay put , but its still cute, love tha color. And I gotta get ova tha fear that they gonna fall offa my head!  And I jus ordered a half wig, which I'm thinking might fit (be secured) like my clip on extensions with tha lil combs, but if all else fails and I feel like I need extra security, I'll jus sew on tha lil extension clips I have and make it work.
