Theyre shades of green and blue :).
Since I dyed them this color, people have either been liking it, or thinking it’s ugly, unappealing, and have been associating it/me with bad odors and musk. Because my hair is green. Idk, my hair resonates within me and makes me feel like Mother Earth, but sometimes the opinions get to me, and make me want to change it. All of my confidence is in my hair, literally.

Just wanted to share to this community who may understand

My almost 8-year old has a LOT of long, thick, beautiful hair. I’ve always kept it in twists because she’s extremely tender-headed and having to detangle her hair after it’s been out is a NIGHTMARE.

Recently she’s become interested in redoing some of her twists and doing her hair. Now she’s complaining that she doesn’t want her hair in twists anymore and wants to try other styles. She said she will detangle and moisturize her hair if it’s out.

I’m struggling with giving her independence to learn to do her hair and also keeping her hair healthy and manageable by keeping it in twists. Idk what to do 😩

I was thinking maybe if I get a good blow dryer I can stretch her hair and try different styles. She mentioned something like French braids (which I don’t know how to do) but I don’t think I can learn to do them properly if her hair is not stretched. Any tips on blow-dryers, styles, suggestions.

My locs are naturally layered, so my locs in the back are double the length of my locs in the front 😭 It’s slightly frustrating but I’ll take it, just amazed at how fast they’re growing

I did some cornrows under the wig and I used some fixing spray to melt the lace better. Kinky texture is my favourite in terms of wigs

I don’t rlly like ordering hair online bc they be scamming but I got this hair from Luvme and I’ve had it in for about a week. I will say this hair is so fullalaa I got 4 packs of crochet but you really could get away with 3 if you want it less full.
As for the maintenance, I’ve just been using water and a brush to refresh it in the morning. I’ll come back and give another update when I’ve had it in for longer. But so far so good!

Heyyy girliees! What type of extensions would achieve this look? I don’t think Xpression would achieve it and want to avoid human hair.

What do you recommend?
