How I Styled My Hair For Wedding In St. Vincent

Okay this is what I did with my hair for the wedding. I took my pom pom hair piece with me. One evening we were hanging out in the front porch at my mother-in-law's place in St. Vincent and I was telling my niece-in-law about my desire not to relax my hair. So she simply began to comb out my hair (she had a little problem) and applied some hair dress to my hair and scalp.  She even gave me a scalp massage.  It felt really good!

Then I realized she was parting my hair to plait it, I was about to protest but I allowed her to do her own thing. She braid the front of my head and left the back alone in order for me to pull it back in one and clip on my hair piece. I kept the hair style until I left the Island.

Before I left for St. Vincent I did a test of twisting my hair into small Bantu Knots but as I came out of the airplane and walked to the Airport terminal in Antigua, my curls were blown out. In addition to that, I sweat a lot so I decided against twisting my hair for the wedding.

One of my visitors suggested that I set my hair in small rollers. I did the test with my hair dry but the setting did not stay for too long.

I thought that it should work if my hair is wet, so I decided to wash my hair but as I have so much new growth, I had great difficulty parting my hair. What I should have done was to set my hair dry and THEN sprayed my hair with some water.  Unfortunately I was unable to get a really close up picture of the completed hairstyle.  Maybe you can see it in this picture on the right.
