This Hair...

This hairstyle has been a fan favorite! This is how it was done.
My hair was shampooed and deep conditioned before being cornrowed. Then, the hair I bought was weaved in with a crochet hook. It's close to what my hair texture will look like if I grow my hair out. So I wanted to try it and see how I would like it. This process is called Latch Hook. Relatively speaking, it's one of the quicker styles to have done. About 40 minutes for the wash and condition, 20 minutes to braid, and 2 hours to crochet. And it can last from 4-12 weeks depending on how well I take care of it.



Other styles...


The bun is an attachment piece.

Wash N Go with a head band and some leave in conditioner.

Just out the shower.


Blowdrying...

More blowdrying...


Commence the flatiron! A rare thing, as I don't put much heat on my hair and it is time consuming...

Yup, that's right. Look at the picture from fresh wash above and this one of a straightened lock. Shrinkage is about 75% when my hair gets wet. And to get to this point where the flatiron made it's appearance took close to 2 hours....One more reason going natural is amazing! 


My arms hurt, so the rest was swept up in back.

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

The Weekends

The weekends have a new meaning to me now.  Saturdays are the perfect day because I get unlimited access to Cassidy. During the week I have to share my time between work, chores, tasks, and more. Sunday we have church and prep time for the week. But Saturday is magical. Saturday is for adventures in the park and incredible views in the mountains you can only reach by foot. Saturdays are for sleeping in or getting up early and making a big breakfast. Saturdays we sometimes stay in our pajamas, and others times we get all dressed up for no reason. On this particular Saturday Cassidy and I met up with some friends at church for the first End of Summer Fair. We had a good time...

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!
