Cut a Long Story Short

Don't be startled, I did not cut my hair. Today, I wore my hair in a low bun and all the fuzz from my scarf was in my hair. As a result of this, I have decided to wear my hair in coils tomorrow.

All I did for this hairstyle was to put my hair in coils. You can also use bantu knots. When the hairstyle was finished, I added a flower that I bought in H & M (100 yen or $1).

I was in the beach mood which is quite rare seeing that I am not a fan of the beach. So, to complete my look, I wore a long skirt as a dress, a sports bra as a bathing suit top, beetle broach/hair accessory, sunglasses and drop earring.

Above is the complete look. What do you think?

Thank you for reading.

Kujichagulia: Self determination

Today I was playing around with various hairstyles but was not satisfied with what I was creating. I have been tired from traveling long distances for work therefore, I had no inspiration nor motivation to create a chic hairstyle. Also, I have the limitation of my hair being in plaits and can be quite difficult to style. I was determined to create a hairstyle that was pleasing to me and that you my readers would like.

But wait, you would not guess what gave me the inspiration for this hairstyle. As I told you guys before I'll be leaving soon for my Christmas vacation. I have been trying on clothes and shoes to see what I should take as well as playing around with hairstyles. Anyway, I stumbled on this African print skirt  which sparkled my interest in creating a hairstyle that depicted some aspect of the African culture.

I wore the skirt as a blouse because I think it is too short and looks better as a top.

What I did for this hairstyle was take a few of the plaits, twist them and lay them on the top of my head. I did this from the front to the back.

I then use a few pins to hold the hair in place.

After that I made a flower from a scarf, tied it to a hair tie and put it around my head like a headband.
 I also went ahead and added an African printed earring, a mustard belt and leggings to complete my look.

You may also wear this hairstyle with about anything.  It can be worn casually or you can dress it up. Whichever you choose have fun with it.
