Side Swept in Full

It's here guys!
Thank you for patiently waiting.

 Extra down time from the regular work life hustle, always turns into creativity. A couple of weeks ago, I channeled this energy into some hair play.  Believe it or not, I haven't gotten to experiment with it, in months.  

So, without further ado, we're gonna get right to it.

The Hair

Freshly washed and stretched through threading and a light blow dry

The Players

As I Am CocoShea Whip

Curls Cashmere Curl Jelly

The Technique

My hair had been stretched by threading, so there were already predefined sections of hair, that I decided to simply work with.  I parted my hair on the right, moisturized with the CocoShea Whip, further sectioned out pieces for my flat twists, and added a dime sized amount of the curl jelly before flat twisting down.  The ends were curled around a single flexi rod.

For the section of hair on the right, I brushed it all back, added a small amount of the gel and twisted it into a tiny bun.  The style was then secured with my scarf for the rest of the day, allowing it to set. 

Some apologies are due here, as I forgot to take pictures of the flexi-rodded hair.
A year long hiatus from this space, has made me a tad rusty, but I'll get it together.

Promise!

The next day, the rod was removed and the twists were unraveled and separated.
I also unraveled the tiny bunned section, rolled the hair upwards and inwards, and secured with bobby pins.

It came out pretty cute and it lasted for just that day.
My hair has definitely grown, but I'm currently focused on improving it's health.  That battle is a constant one.

Stay tuned for more.

Also stick around for the upcoming video tutorial on this style.
