Braided Bautu Knots

Big Mistake

A few days ago I plait my hair in two vertical corn rows.  The next day I unplait them in order to wash my hair.  I had a little problem unplaiting the end of one row, so I left it with the thought that while washing my hair I would have been able to unplait it easier.  That that was a big mistake!  I still could not unplait that end as a matter of fact it became more difficult after wetting my hair.  To be truthful I had to bust that knot out.  I was most upset after I had done that.  Big Mistake!!!

Vertical Corn Row

This is my daughter with her hair braided in vertical corn rows that she did herself. She is very good at that. The next picture is of her with the corn rows all combed out.  But before she did that, she put a curling rod at the ends of her hair to get that curl effect at the ends of her hair.

Lap Pet

I was invited to a function a few nights ago so I decided that since my hair was not looking the way that I would like it to look with my Bantu Knots comb out, I decided to purchase this hair piece. My son does not like it. She said that I looks a Lap Pet. I had to ask him what was that and he said that it is those dogs that people hold up in their arms like little dolls!

The picture to the bottom right is come costume jewellery that I purchase to attend to the function.  They are quite unique and I just had to showcase theme.  The wrist band looks quite good on my hand as my wrists are a bit on the chubby side.

Old Self

I am back to my old self again.  This is how I styled my relaxed hair to go to work on Christmas Eve.  The only thing that I did different this time is that I did not put any leave in conditioner in my hair.  That may have been the problem.
