I've been anticipating seeing Amel Larrieux at this year's Summer Stage concert in Central Park, and last Sunday, I finally got to watch her perform. Ya'll remember her from 90's R&B Duo Groove Theory? Yep, Bryce * swoon* was there too.

A moment of silence for the lusciousness that is this woman's hair.

Before we saw Amel perform, I made a beeline to the food vendors first. I was starving, so I stopped at the shortest line -Mile End.
Close to an hour later, (we
had to stand in one line to order the food and in another, to get the
food), I anxiously bit into a pita wrap.
Let's just say that a one hour wait and missing The Roots entire set was worth it. This stuff was delicious.
Per these types of events, the eclectic crowd was out in full force- a photographer's dream.
Fun times.
I noticed a lot of stares, so I figured my hair must've looked huge. Lol. Naturals always get noticed.

The Technique
I lightly misted my hair with water, and then applied two pumps of Jane Carter Solution Wrap and Roll, to big sections of hair, which were allowed it to set for a few hours. Afterwards, I was left with stretched, puffy hair.
In the morning, I unraveled
the curls and undid the twists, and then separated my hair.
Tip: Whenever I separate braids or twists to create volume, I do not separate my hair completely at the ends. I concentrate on fluffing the upper portion of the twists/braids. This helps to cut down on tangles that would occur if I completely separated and fluffed out the entire length of hair.

Note the fluffier upper portion of hair vs. ends that still retain the twist out/perm rod curl |
By the night's end, my hair was swollen with fabulous dopeness!
Fabulous!!!!! Yup, Naturals always get stared at....lol..
