Weekend Hair

On Saturday I attempted to attend an event [shall remain nameless] but unfortunately, I could not find the building. There were some questionable characters hanging around outside of the area that the event should have been located so I was not about to get out my car and look for this place. I did my hair, makeup, and got dressed for nothing. I hate that.

I think my hubby felt bad for me so he took me out to eat, that truly made it all better. We tried out a new Mexican restaurant and the food was delicious. You know a place has good food when other patrons tell you (out of the blue) that you will enjoy your meal and they have been eating there for years. I love southern hospitality - yes, we talk to strangers down here.

As for my hair...On Friday night I put 6 plaits in my hair using on Karen's Body Beautiful Heavenly Jojoba Oil. It was a sample that I obtained at the Curly Girls Rock event. Samples are the best thing a company can do for itself (in my opinion). I would have never ordered this product on a whim but being able to try it increases the chances that I will order or share with someone that may want to order the product.

OK, back to my hair...On Saturday morning I removed the plaits and just fluffed until all the parts were no longer visible. My hair was really soft and moisturized throughout the weekend - this was the only product I used the entire weekend.

Hot, busy, and big hair weekend

On this past Saturday I had the opportunity to co-host a baby shower for an awesome couple. The wife is truly a wonderful friend of mine and deserved every bit of the work we put into the shower.

Between making games, buying food, making candy, and creating a cupcake display stand...

Cupcake Display

I found sometime to work in some hair care and styling. The pic below shows half of my hair with a non-fluffed defined twist-out and the other side is the same twist-out after fluffing.

My twist-outs are usually just a result of how I feel at the time and usually I feel like fluffing for big hair.

Fluffed

Defined

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

Central Children's Home Day

Oxford, NC

On Saturday my husband and I rode his motorcycle in the Central Children's Home (CCH) Day parade in Oxford, NC. CCH is a black orphanage in Oxford that was established August 1882. It felt great to do something for the kiddies and plus WE HAD FUN!

As for hair....I washed and conditioned my hair then put it in two low ponytails so that I could easily put my helmet on and take it off. Nothing fancy - it was too hot for that plus I was planning to rock an afro later at the NC Natural Hair Care Expo. I also wore a silk scarf on my hair to protect it from the friction of the helmet.

I also got on a horse for the very first time, take about SCARED!
