Barbie of the Week: Monique

Meet Monique an Event Planner and fonder of M & U Entertainment in Tokyo, Japan. You can find Monique at http://www.manduentertainment.com.

Why locks?
Well to be truthful I was living in Japan and alternative hairstyles were way too expensive , so I thought, why not try this?

How long have you had locks?

3&1/2 years

What's your favorite hair product? Why?
Favorite product is definitely - Oyin's Greg juice. It's so easy on my scalp and always revives my hair. It keeps it smelling good too.

 What or Who inspired you to lock?
Inspiration- can't really say. But the young lady that represented Jamaica at the Ms.World Pageant with her flowing locks made me proud.

What do you like most about locks?
 I like the strength of my hair the most. I have and can do so much to it without it falling off.

From perm to locks is a beautiful and rewarding experience. Black women on a whole need to stop putting so much money in to the entrepreneurs of Koreans and other groups in the form of weaves and hair perms.
1. The process isn't necessarily healthy and
2. We need to start spending BLACK. Take that money and spend at a loctitians salon.

 I'll try to explain the steps to Monique's hairstyle.

Instructions
Monique's hair is in plaits.
A portion from the front was taken out to make her bang.

Then, the back portion was woven to the top of her head with some hair from the sides left out. The woven portion was folded over to make a partial bun. The remaining hair from the sides were woven around and over the semi-bun. The hair was held in place by pins. The front portion was used to make her bang.

Recently, I have been experimenting with bangs. Today, I did an updo with a bang. This was very quick and easy yet edgy.

For this hairstyle, you will need hair pins, hair tie,and a scarf. Take a small portion from the front that you will use to make the bang.  The larger portion in the back put it in a ponytail then put it in a bun. 

You can add the scarf to your hair if you want. I did because I wanted a more dramatic yet simple look.

To make you bun pull your hair to the front. Then, to make sure that everything is even put the ends in and roll one or 2 times. 

After, twist slightly and hold in place with your pins. I'll be making a video for this one too soon so, if you can't do it from these steps don't sweat it I got you covered.

Completed the hairstyle by wearing a pair of skinny jeans, tissue tee, vest, over-sized glasses, a pair of flower earring and slippers. 

Thank you for reading my blog.
