Weave Update (PICS) Bob Haircut a la Nichi

[Ediese]

PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE PICS​

Here's a quick update of my sew-in. I got my hair done in December by Tinnell. I used Sensational Goddess Remi in 14". My experience hasnt been that great with this hair because it tends to shed A LOT, and it tangles a lot too.

Here's how it looked when I first got it done.

December







January



This is the first time I've gotten bored with an install. I think I definitely prefer kinky curly now. The bang was driving me crazy! I can't wear bangs for longer than a month without getting tired of it, and I've been having trouble with tangling around my neck area. (if you EVER hear me say I want a bang, please stop me!) Anyway, I looked in the mirror two weeks ago, and chopped the weave down to my shoulders. lol



After I saw Nichi's bob thread, I loved her bob soooo much, I decided to go to TGF Hair Cuttery and have them mimic it. It only cost me $17.95. The weave was really heavy and greasy, so I clarified before I got it done, and the results were amazing. I really love it! Thanks Nichi!! It's so easy, and it's tangle free now! I could definitely wear this until April. I feel like I got a whole new install.

***You'll notice that my bang is kinda high on my forehead compared to the first pic. My hair is growing out!! YIPEE!! Hopefully, I get the 2" I need to get to MBL.

Yea, my weave got some swang! lol It's so bouncy! I gotta figure out how to do the feathering stuff.

i like the weave even when it was long. Its one of the better weaves you see around!! Really nice

 

[ms.blue]

I love short weave styles and this style looks good on you.

 

[tailormade84]

girl you are so beautiful i think just about any cut would look nice on you

 

[liteskinshowdy]

it turned out great- how did they feel about cutting the weave? did they know before the actual cut?

 

[kami11213]

Very cute...

Nice - you look great at all 3 lenths.

You have nice eyebrows too!!

What are your hair plans once you have the weave removed this spring?

 

[BostonMaria]

OMG this is too cute! I love it! I can hardly wait till your big reveal in April

 

[Day Dreamer]

Thanks! I've gone the lady there before. She did my 'big chop' last year. She definitely knew it was a weave before she cut it.

Thanks! I took a little too much out of my eyebrows, so I'm in the awkward stage of growing it back.

I can't wait to take it in April. I'm going to have a lot of fun with my new products (L'Occitane and Quemet), and my steamer. I want this to be my last weave for a while. I think I'll still need 2" to WL. I might try another protective style, probably 2 strand twists. I don't know.

Then again, I might get another install since this ps helps me retain most growth. It really depends on where I'm at in April.

OMG this is too cute! I love it! I can hardly wait till your big reveal in April

Thanks BM! I can't wait! I really feel like this is my year to get to WL. Hopefully, that'll be by my 27th bday in September.

Beautiful!! =) what pattern did you use for bangs? im getting a sew in with bangs soon to hide my hair..

 

[Akemi]

Looks great! And you're gorgeous!

Thanks! I think she used the circular/beehive pattern, and left a tiny bit of hair out at the top.

 

[caligirl2385]

you are pretty and i love your hair

 

[Kneechay]

Nice! Ooh I like how they cut the back A LOT. Use a flat iron for the feathering. Just flick your wrist at the end and shake out with your hand.

Your hair shed and tangled? Wow, how often did you wash it?

I washed every weekend and it felt new everytime I washed. Had a whole new swang each weekend. I really liked the first cut you got also, I was tempted to do that to mine but I suck at cutting. I like your bangs, but I'm too scared of breaking out on my face because of the hair being on my face too much and me touching my face too much.

I was gonna take a weave break after April too. I didn't know you were too. I've seen so many cute twistouts, puffs, even buns that I want to wear. I miss my hair so much...

 

[LadyPBC]

I liked all three lengths too (at the risk of being redundant) you can obviously wear any style though beautiful lady. Thanks for sharing - this gives me ideas.

Yea, I'm not sure what's up with this hair, but it tangled a lot around my neck area. I washed every week.

For the first cut, I just hacked away at it. lol It wasn't even straight. I liked the bangs too, but I'm tired of it now. That always happens though. It's like I love the idea of bangs.

Yep, I think I'm in need of a weave break. It's always been my goal to stop cold turkey after I reached my length goal. That's definitely going to be sometime this year.

I'll be totally honest, the only other type of hair that I used from the BSS was Sensational Premium Now. I think I have pics of it in my fotki. It did shed a little, but I didn't have severe tangling issues like I'm having with this hair. Maybe I got a bad batch or something.

If I'm wearing straight hair, my ultimate preference would be Extensions Plus relaxed texture. 2nd preference would be Halleys Curls Salon Relaxed. I think the Hallys curls is pretty reasonable in price.

LOVE it Ediese!

 

[blksndrlla]

LOVE the CUT!

I had the HCSR...the actual weave was great and SOOOO natural looking!

 

[Mai Tai]

You and Nichi have the best weaves I have ever seen in Houston. If I ever got brave enough to get an install, I will definitely be harassing one of you on the PM. Just BEAUTIFUL!
