Update on my Bobraz

Hola Chickas!!!!
I deep conditioned my hair this weekend and decided to DC the bobraz as well. The hair came out nice and pretty :-)
Here's the results....


I ended up taking the 14inches out because the blending was horrid! I ended up using the rest of the 12inches i bought and the install looked much better.

How Do I Style?: At night i would divide my hair in 7 sections (4 in the front, two on the bottom and 1 section on the top). I would take each section and double twist my hair then put a roller at the end. I use Cantu Shea Butter to make my curls nice, soft and shiny.
Here's some pics of the process...well the end of the process...lol

Bohyme Brazilian Wave Revisited!

Hey Ladies,
Last week i installed my last weave for 2010. I went back to my trusty Bobraz...i bought a new pack (12inches, #2) and added it to my old stash (14inches, 1B). Below you will find pics of my hair after i installed it the night before.






I double strand twist my hair in the middle to mimic the texture of the hair. As far as making the curls pop on the actual bohyme....i washed and conditioned the hair after installing it, applied Cantu leave in, and then double strand twist the hair and put tiny rollers on the hair. I then sat under the dryer until the hair was about 80% dry (i only let it dry about 80% because i was running late for my dinner with friends). The hair gets very big!

If you have any more questions about this install...email me!

Weave for September



So it's been officially 1 week since I installed my weave for the month (i plan on taking it out Oct 9th for a event on the 10th). I was tired of doing my own hair so I installed this weave to give me variety without me damaging my real hair. The hair I decided to purchase is from the Dream Weaver's Model Model line and the style is Body Wave in 16 inches, 14 inches and 12 inches. I used about 2 1/2 packs of hair. The hair in total came up to $100 with a 10% back to school discount at my local beauty supply store. I was skeptical after buying the hair because the price was so cheap. After doing my research on hairsisters.com I found out that there were good reviews for the hair:

Ms. REDICT - Hello Ladies" This hair is so pretty. i been wearing it since May, same weave. I mixed this hair with the Model Model SOHO Curl. I just love it!!! DO NOT USE ANY HAIR PRODUCTS ON THIS HAIR, other than a little spray shine. I use Bonfi Wig Spray Shine in the purple bottle and that is about all I have put on this hair.. I shampoo it 1-2 times a week with with Pantene or Infusim23 shampoos. I like big curls so I use a curling rod on this hair once a week. It has lot of body and movement, and hold a beautiful curl.. Ms Johnson the 12" will come right a your shoulders or slightly pass, but not much. If you want a longer look, I recommend you purchase one 16" an 12". Put the 16" on bottom tracks and 12" on top. This will give you a natural layered curly look.. You have to remember hair is measure for length in its straight form before process with chemical to give it its wavy look. So a 12" curly / wavy hair is going to look like 10" when wavy / curly. This applies to all weaving hair brands."

Ms. CRAWFORD - "I got a sew-in with this hair yesterday. It is so soft and does not tangle. It looks absolutely beautiful. I got so many compliments and its only been two days. I bought two packs of 1B, I had a little hair left over. I am going to Miami for vacation for a week so I will give an update when I come back to let you guys know how it holds up."

Ms. GOMEZ - "I purchased this hair on July 10th for my family vac to Disney World, I was able to go to the water parks, swim, get in hot tub without any TANGLES it was wonderful once wet the waves loosen up but I have flat iron my hair it it still looks GREAT I have very course hair and this texture matched PERFECTLY. I have worn Saga, Bohyme, and even this hair from CA called extensions plus which is $200 per 2oz. This hair is truly worth trying once because you'll never wear anything else for sure! I ordered 2 pks of 14in"



I freaking LOVE this hair!!! When I walked into work on Friday I got so many compliments from my co-workers. Even my manager (who is a white male) stopped mid sentence to tell me "I LOVE YOUR HAIR!" Ladies this hair is a keeper and my money was well spent.

Without further ado...here's my pics:
