Threaded Hair- The Wrap Up

 Hey Guys!
Have you caught part 1 of my threading video?
Quickly put- this entire thing took forever to complete.
Since my hair is already long, paired with filming, and some snack breaks in between, the whole process was just really labor intensive.
After the second piece of hair was threaded up under the water stream, I abandoned ship, and moved the entire operation onto dry land.  Why didn't anyone tell me that I'd be standing in the shower for years if I really wanted to completely thread each section of hair? Apparently, you can also get sick that way- cold symptoms and everything.

What else did I learn?

1.  As I'd decided to thread smaller sections to get the most stretch, it also took more time to complete.  Duh.

2.  As I'd decided to make sure the hair portions were completely covered in thread, it prolonged the completion time again (by the second portion of hair, I'd decided to at least thread the hair with the spaces, and re-thread them outside of the shower.

3.  Water usage!  As a quasi conservationist, I like to think that I live an eco-friendly lifestyle. I recycle. I live with a light nazi, who's always on my heels about leaving the lights on, and my showers are super quick- in under 15 minutes, all the essential parts are fresh and clean. That noted, I wasted so much water attempting this under the shower.

4.  My right wrist actually became achy midway through. 

:-/
But, I got it done.
I ended up removing the threaded hair and condensing the sections into four. This made for a faster takedown, when I was ready to remove them.

A braidout later, and the final result was all of this fabulousness.
There's nothing better than good hair on a good day.
