The look I'm going for/thinking of gettin' done for my cousins wedding if I do an up-do is:
My hair is currently too short for it (almost shoulder length) and way too thin for it to come out looking as in the picture so I'm wondering if it can be achieved w/ extensions

Oh and anotha thing, if I do decide to get a weave again, I gotta find me a new stylist. Now I do like Miss Vanessa and all but if I do get anotha install, its gonna be curls and I'm gonna want a full head of curls, no hair left out what-so-ever! And she says that it won't look right with a bang and I really don't want a bang, I want a full head of curls and I've seen people who have full head curly weaves, with NO HAIR LEFT OUT! And thats what I want so I gotta find somebody who can make that work, so tha stylist hunt is on!

Ok since getting full head weaves cost so much I've been thinkin' of investing in some wigs since they cost less than buying tha hair and with how much it costs ta get it intalled you can get you a few wigs for that price. Well I have 2 of them which I really like, I jus got tha 2nd one yestaday and I love it, gotta work with tha bangs some cause the kinda long, come past my eyes and don't wanna stay put , but its still cute, love tha color. And I gotta get ova tha fear that they gonna fall offa my head! And I jus ordered a half wig, which I'm thinking might fit (be secured) like my clip on extensions with tha lil combs, but if all else fails and I feel like I need extra security, I'll jus sew on tha lil extension clips I have and make it work.

I tried to make it work as long as I could (1 week and like 2 days), tha hair sucks once it was wet/curls were gone. Yes I had longer wavyish hair but it stunk. It still smelt like perm and wouldn't stop leaking color when wet, like tha dye kept washing off (which stunk some more and made everything a brownish color) NOT to mention it itched the hell out of me! I wouldn't stop itching OMG did it itch!
So now I'm kinda torn between using that hair again, mainly because the curls the hair has before tha wash are soooo pretty and I just adore them, but I kno it can't be washed or wet, which makes detangling it one hell of a feat, so if I do decide to get another sew-in, I'd have ta find anotha brand of hair ta try cause I'm not too sure if I'd trust back Sensationnel's human curly hair...

Alright so I washed my hair las night in hopes ta cleanse it of tha stuff I put in n ta detangle it but once tha hair absorbed tha water, I smelt tha smell perms have and my hair/curls started straightening out. So yea, I lost my pretty pretty curls and now have long wavyish hair, but its human hair so I can straighten it out n use tha curling iron on it, but I doubt I can get back my curls.
@ least now I kno how they get them pretty curls, they perm tha hair wit them size rollers...But tha thing I don't get is that they say on tha package that tha hair can be washed n this n that but when you go ta wash it, whomp whomp, you loose tha look you was goin' fa, tha style you bought tha hair for in tha 1st place.
But don't get it twisted, I'mma make it work. I like playin' with my hair n tryin' different tings, and I still gotta full head of hair w/ this install, jus gotta get all tha tangles outta it and go from there...

Aight I'm about ta wash my hair for tha 1st time and this is my 1st time with curly hair, I really don't kno what ta do or whats tha best way ta wash curly hair without messin' up them curls...So its an experiment. And I thought I'd keep track of things I used/what works for this hair and for all the other hair I'll use or have used just for future refrence.
So I'll start with my 1st install: 12 inches, layered cut, straight hair, brand "Best Hairs" I believe, not certain b/c I unfortunately didn't get a good look @ tha package nor thought ta keep it n my girl done did toss it but tha hair was sooo good fa me...
- I detangled/combed it out every day/night (nothin' major)
- Used very lil shampoo (diluted)
-Diluted conditioner in spray bottle (also sprayed inbetween tracks/braids)
-Tea tree oil/shampoo diluted in spray bottle for braids
- Very lil/light hair conditioner/creme

Aight so I got my hair done on Friday, since she's not in on Saturdays...But yea I got my curls, I hadda get a lil bit of hair left out since a bang wouldn't of looked right with it..So I gotta attempt tha "blendin" thing again, which as I stated before sucks because my hair is mad thin so blended or not you can still see tha tracks and to try and hide tha tracks I gotta use this black gel stuff which makes my hair mad hard n fall out...But I'm not thinking about that now..My main concern is figuring out how ta 'set' my hair so that when I sleep, I don't smush/flatten tha curls which I jus adore and my parents seem to like as well ..I need batteries so that I can take pics of me & my new look..But I'mma get them soon, hell I gotta get some 2morra cause graduation is Monday and I'mma need them ta take pics!! And of course I'mma need them for when I go away on vacation.

Ok so maybe Miss Nessa isn't closed on Mondays like I thought but now I have her #, lost tha card...
But yea, this gel I put on tha front of my hair ta keep it up & help it blend n alla that, isn't treatin' my hair too well..I went ta wash it out and a bunch of my hair fell out ..So I gotta get this mess outta my hair ASAP n keep from usin' it or figure out some sort of combination/concoction so that I can use it but have it less harsh on my hair because I'm not a headband person & I can't have my hair tied up all tha time, ie like 2morra when I go to tha Big East Career Fair..

I kno what else I'mma do with this journal, I'mma put pics of different hairstyles n stuff I wanna try n different looks I wanna go with for future reference:
So I was able ta get tha front of my hair ta stay put & blend & cover tha track yay! Now I kno its possible (for my lil inexperienced-self) And for tha days I don't feel like goin' thru tha lil process (gellin'/greasin' up tha hair, blow dryin' it n sprayin' it down some n a lil more dryin') I can jus tie up my hair witta headband or scarf...But now tha otha thing gotta wait n see is how them pictures came out because that lady took them pictures mad quick..I wonder if their photo studio is close or find-able incase them pictures come out bad..
