Back in June I ordered hair from AliExpress, from the vendor Yvonne Hair Products. I wasn't using it and instead of being a hair hoarder, I decided to use it to give it to my friend.
Since It was kinky "Brazilian" hair with a curl pattern that reminded me of hers I figured, why not just do a sewin. So, while everyone was watching the VMAs, we had girls night and did her hair, while watching the Shrek marathon (i mean who doesn't love Shrek? lol). While I didn't style it, I thought that the hair, at least at first appearance was absolutely amazing and thought I'd share & document just so we can remember where the hair came from
Before:
What she used
what she used
After:
I absolutely love the way this look on her and hopefully the hair doesn't disappoint.
Being a true New Yorker the best thing I can say about living here is that even when you're not expecting to, you can always find something that's going on. I was in Union Square earlier with one of my best friends and we stumbled on a street fair. Unfortunately for us, we got there closer to closing but since this was a "cheat day" for me I had no complaints. I didn't take many snaps, but in the spirit of trying to put my camera to good use (and actually using my blog), I did manage to take these. Any potential photos went out the window after I got a few snacks. [lol]
So Sunday August 3rd, I attended a meet & greet in Manhattan at Toshi's Living Room & Penthouse [on Broadway & W. 26th] Where the attendees with with the owner of Lola's Hair, and Youtubers PeakMill, BeautyByJJ, LakiaStar & FabulasityIsMe. All 4 ladies were absolutely gorgeous and down to earth It was a nice get together & despite me trying to behave, I left the event with 4 bundles of hair. (It was only right lol). I purchased 4 bundles of hair:
1-16"
1-18"
2-20"
from the Malaysian body wave collection. Which in total ran me about $283 with tax, and no shipping was involved, because as I sad above, I purchased this hair at the meet and greet. Lola's staff was super sweet
Out of sheer laziness, I've waited 2 weeks before making and creating a u-part with with the hair. At the present moment in time I've created and installed the my unit, straightened and cut e few layers it, in addition to curling it with flexirods. So far I have no complaints, but will update if anything changes.
After to playing around, I'm not a fan of how the u-part came out. It was giving me a helmet/pageant feel. I'm not sure if I'll upload the video yet, but here are some screen caps:
P.S. I'm on a hunt for a Skirt like the one FabulasityIsMe wore to the meet & greet:
