When In Doubt, Pin it Up

Monday, June 18, 2012


So we had a busy Father's Day Weekend.  I was bone tired when I finally got to bed and right before I closed my eyes, I realized that I did absolutely nothing to my hair.  No twists, flat twists, not even a head scarf.  I just said I'll deal with it in the morning. 

Ok - for  all you (4a/4b) naturals out there with medium length hair, you know that is a mistake.  I woke up this morning with dry hair all over my head .  When I hopped in the shower all I could think about was how am I going to get this done, because of course I woke up late!!!

First, I thought maybe a wash-n-go!  Nope, I have a meeting and wanted to feel more pulled togther..

Then I thought - a bun!  Nope, couldn't find what I needed to pull and keep my hair back... 

So finally, I thought I'll just have to pin it up and work it!

The mist and steam from the shower helped soften my hair up.  I added  a little shea butter oil and Shea Moisture Hair Milk to seal,  then threw a couple of twists at the top and clipped the back. After a few pins, it didn't look completely bad. 

On my drive in to the office, I untwisted the front added some earrings and lipstick.
Not half bad for a rainy Monday.
