Hi All -

Its been awhile. Life has been keeping me extremely busy. BUT(!), I just wanted to share a few updos i was able to create to go along with the look i was trying to achieve for all the events i had up an comin in this month of July. I wasnt able to go and get my hair done professionally so i did the best that i could myself. I was a bridesmaid in my cousins wedding on July 8th (Congratulations Tamarah!), and i had two other dressy events i had to get dolled up for. Im still new at styling my hair so this was a challenge for me. Nonetheless i was pleased how it turned out and i just wanted to share my results. I was not able to take pictures of all my actual hair styles. Instead i have a few pictures from these occasions that i hope will suffice.

I had to spend several hours on youtube lol and just playin around in my hair daily trying to create my desired look. And for the wedding I think it turned out great. I was very proud of myself. Ive always went and gotten my hair done for weddings in the past and HATED it. I knew what i wanted this time around, and i didnt feel like paying an arm an leg to have someone jack my hair up and not give me what i really wanted. So i was so proud that i was able to pull it off myself. I wish i had gotten more pics of my actual hairstyle, but the day was so crazy and hectic this will have to do. :drunk:

My Second Look :

Its kinda dark. I apologize. I just did a pin and tuck bun in three layers on top of my head. Tunred out well. I didnt get many up close pics that day, but you get the idea.

I actually took pictures of the process for this one. But ill only show the before and afters. My step by step photos are posted on my Fotki. I didnt think all that was necessary lol. But you can always visit my Fotki albums if your curiosity takes you by storm lol.

If your curious on how it all turned out together there are a few pictures in my "Go With The Fro" album on my Fotki page (listed in my siggy) as well. Thanks for letting me share. Have a wonderful day everyone! :yep:
 
Very pretty! both you and your hair
I like that "southern tease" bun, it looks great and not only for special occasions
 
Your hair is stunning!!! I do not blame you for having a stylist do this. You did such a beautiful job on your own! :)
