Hi people, what's been on?
Last weekend I went for my girlfriend's sister's traditional wedding and it was really cool because I hooked up with some friends way back when.
I wore my natural hair to the wedding as usual!
My sister had braided and twisted my hair about 5 days back in a faux Mohawk style in preparation for the twistout I'd use for the wedding.
Since the weather here is humid because it's rainy season in Nigeria and my twistouts were likely to poof up, I decided to leave in the twists until the night before the wedding.
I would have taken it down in the morning but you know how weddings are especially if you slept over....a mad rush to everything!
So I took it down the night before and wrapped it to preserve it the next day.
The resulting twistouts came out fabulous if I should say so myself...hehehe and I managed to nab one fine bobo too...*wink*
After the wedding, I decided to wash my hair because of all the sweat from dancing all night.
I've taken down the style and was about to prepoo for washing when I looked in the mirror and noticed an "Aevin Dugas" like afro and it seems my hair has grown more because I was beginning to feel the weight of it (or is it product buildup?!)
Well, I decided to skip the washday and call it a fro day!
Why is it that my hair becomes gorgeous on the day I decide to wash it????
....and Kay and Toyin (you should see the rest of her styles...fab!) also sent me pictures of their natural hair...
( I also won't mind sharing your swaggalicious natural hair do too!)
Now who says Nigerian natural hair has no swag?
