Microlocks Updo - no pins required :-)

This is a quick and easy updo, you don't need anything to do it.  Start by a bantu knot in the middle, wrap and tuck the rest of the hair around the knot in any pattern... I like crisscross...but you can sweep the hair to one side in a cone look...or whatever really. The beauty of this hairstyle is that it always comes out different each time you do it...you can do countless variations. Sometimes I twist the front in a cornrow look... I'm sure you get the idea... I added my blue clip...just because :D)...

Ps: my back has terrible buildup at the back, the white patches are after an ACV rinse (undiluted)??? I'm not sure what else to do except wear my hair down...as I don't use any heavy products..


Happy Styling...hope this inspires someone to create a lovely updo...

My New Fav Clips :)

I tend to overdo things.. I bought these clips (there's more colours) in a China City near my place.. and I always find an excuse to wear one. They are great for those careless hair-off-the-face days..the quick hairbuns...and of course the formal look.

I dress them up & down...ok, I just love these clips.

Please bear with me, until I get over my craze you'll see a LOT of these clips :)

Anyway, here's 2 pics of my casual styles with the clips...

Now friends with the WIND!!!

A windy day at the Camps Bay beach.. I love locks. I remember afro hair days and relaxer days when a step out in the vicious Cape Town wind would be THE END of a hairstyle :-)

On another note, my skin has cleared... no more rosacea for now.. very happy indeed. Skin problems are challenging, you get sensitive when a person stares at you..not to mention the ever ending advices even from complete strangers.. oh have you tried this or that?

I know most people mean well...

I'm seriously considering a colour change.. maybe a more solid black-ish colour..but I promised I would keep this for at least 3 years.. well.. in 5 months time it will be 2 years... not sure I can wait..

We'll see :-)
