Faux Shaved Side on Natural Hair Look #2

Link to my previous Faux Shaved Side look from yesterday



For this look all I did was swoop the twisted ends of my flat twists over the flat twists and then I braided the ends into one long braid.  I then took the braided tail and tucked it into the nape of my neck underneath of my fro.  I pinned the braid down using open hair pins.

The main reason I did this was because I was not too crazy about the look of the twisted ends being flat twisted into one long flat twist that I did yesterday.  It made the look too bulky looking and did not achieve the faux shaved side look that I was seeking.

Well guess what?  Neither does this look but I rocked it anyhow :P


Tomorrow I will be posting my third day look.  Ya'll know me, all this loose hair everywhere everyday is getting on my nerves forreal! I'm more of a protective style chick (aka lazy styling).


 So many people ask me how I get my hair to "grow so fast"...hunny, it is because I put it up in twists and leave it alone for weeks at a time! Your hair can't break off if you don't mess with it everyday lol.

 
Thank you everyone for stopping by and commenting! I really appreciate all of the feedback that I receive.


Take care,

Faux Shaved Side on Natural Hair

This hairstyle was inspired by the many other natural hair ladies who were daring enough to shave one side of their hair.  It didn't quite turn out the way I envisioned it in my head, but I rocked it anyway.  I received a lot of compliments for this look too!

I washed and conditioned my hair first, and then I twisted it up using my trusty dusty Worlds of Curls Curl activator gel.  I let it air dry overnight and the next evening I took down one side of the twists and then flat twisted my hair.  I used Fruit of the Earth aloe vera gel to flat twist my hair with only.

The best advice I can give to anyone trying to master the flat twist is to make sure that the section that you are working with is well detangled before you attempt to try flat twisting. 

And yes! I know, I know, I know, I promised a flat twist tutorial (and while we are at it, an updated hair routine video, retro natural hairdo tutorial and a few other videos) in the future, I haven't forgot!

I intentionally wanted my hair to be fluffy and undefined.  I got that look by just twisting my hair into the biggest size twists that my hair could hold on its own without having to use a hair tie to hold the ends together.
