30 Days 30 Ways

Like it described, I did a half up-do that had a slight hump at the top. In the front, I had a big swoop and the back was straight.

No pictures. When I got home from church, I just took my hair out and did not feel like recreating it.

It was cute though!

Attempted a braid out, but it looked horrible. I attempted to repair it to no available. This weekend I went to the lake for the Fourth, so my hair was just pinned up.

Here's the side ponytail I attempted.



Here's how it came out:

Here is the style I was attempting:

Here's how it turned out:

So, I got my hair trimmed again. This is my second trim in three weeks, and I still feel split ends. She cut my hair dry which I think contributed to her not getting all my split ends again. I just let it go this time because any shorter, and I was afraid I would get a Halle Berry haircut.


Obviously I'm not happy. And as I type this, I realize I will probably end up spending even money one day for someone to cut off all the hair I will grow over the next few months because it will be split. I hope this is not the case though.

Sigh. This is frustrating.

Today, I just had a small poof in the front. The loose hair on the sides were twisted and then pinned. The bottom was curled.

For this one, you cannot tell from the back what it is, so I've included pictures so you get the gist. This was not my original inspiration, but this was the general style. Here's what I got:

Today, I attempted to do this look:

Here's how I did:

Today, I attempted this look:

Instead of having the sides of my hair out, though, I pinned it all up because it just looked weird to me. Plus Abilene is so windy my hair would've been messy for real.

Here's how it came out.

It's a whole lot like the Day 1 look without the pompadour.

And here are some more pictures because I think they're fun!

I tried to do a roller-set on Sunday evening and failed miserably. My hair was frizzy and limp because parts were still wet. However, the top of my hair showed promise that if I could ever perfect the roller set, I could have curly/wavy hair all the time.

I will keep pressing on, but in the meantime I am two days behind. I will hopefully resume tomorrow to have my 30 ways in 30 days.

This hairstyle was supposed to be a flexi-rod set with waves and curls. It did not turn out so hot, so I pinned the sides. It made for a cute style in the back, the side profile is questionable, and the front was cute as well.

That stye is looking a bit better though!

I realized that when I went to get my hair trimmed last week, the stylist still left some of my split ends. I had so many split ends, the trim became a haircut, so I'm nervous to cut off more. However, this experience has taught me that I need to start off fresh and clean or else all my hair work will just be destroyed.

The only problem is I don't have the money to go to her again, so I'm thinking about trimming my hair myself. Between relaxing my own hair and trying new hairstyles, I'm just turning into a one-stop hair machine!

For this style, I sectioned a small part in front and created a pompadour by going old school using a folded sock instead of backcombing. I did not backcomb both because I did not think about it and because I'm not sure if this would promote breakage. Either way, the sock worked!
