My grandson was dedicated on Sunday October 28, 2012 in St. Thomas USVI. He was born there July 23, 2012. Of course your girl had to look 'fly' for the event, so I went to the hair dresser the day before and had my hair styled. My hair needed relaxing (that's the reason for the waves at the side of my head) but I decided to let a few more weeks pass before doing a 'touch up'.
Anyway I must say that my hairdresser did a great job. Her price was quite reasonable and I paid a little more as a token of my appreciation. I initially asked her to style the back of my hair in a donut but she did something different and I was extremely pleased. That is a 'hump' at the front - actually I got the idea when I went to a coffee shop in town and I saw a lady's hair styled like that.
I was originally thought of maybe getting a wig as wigs are in style now but don't know if that is really for me plus I sweat alot and know I might feel uncomfortable. So I choose an up-do. Styling my natural hair would not have lasted because, again, I sweat alot and my hair would have flopped.
Everyone at my work place, loved my hair style when they saw me the next day. But you can bet by Wednesday I had taken down my hair. My hairdresser put alot of hair styling lotion in my hair and I really do not like alot of these chemicals in my hair. In addition, she had to use a rubber band to hold my hair together - I don't like rubber bands in my hair either, they damage the hair.
I will do these fancy styles with styling lotions, gels and rubber bands for a special occasions and after about two days, I will wash out my hair. Not to mention, these chemicals damage the relaxed hair.
