Beauty Africa Expo - 3 Days, 3 Hair Styles, My Way!

I've been feeling so bleh lately - not sure what exactly's been going on with me. Hopefully I'll snap out of it soon.  Anyway, still on the Beauty Africa Exhibition, I was so busy working at the stand, I didn't really have time to go round and take pictures the way I did last year - but what I did was I wear my hair in different styles for those days so will be showing you those styles today!

I've been protective styling a lot in the last 6 months and haven't really had a chance to enjoy my hair or wear it out so I decided that for each of  the 3 days of the exhibition , I was going to do something different.

My go to style - I now have to tuck the hair around the edges in  to give it a rounded look as my hair is longer and it kinda 'flops' when in a puff

So Day 1 - this one wasn't planned out in any way. I knew I wanted to wear my hair out but had no clue what exactly I wanted to do! I almost always wear a puff when my hair is out and I was tired of that - despite my desire NOT to wear a puff, I found myself pulling the hair up anyway (it's like my hands were on autopilot lol) and then decided to create a few rolls.

Thankfully I liked it so didn't have to spend another 30 minutes agonizing over what I would do instead (I've been known to spend 45 minutes going back and forth because I didn't like what I'd done to my hair)

Day 2
I decided I was going to wear it out in an unstructured fro. I'd put it in plaits the night before and so all I did was rub a little oil on my fingers, take out the plaits and then fluff it out a little.

When my hair is out, this is how I typically go to bed lol

 I then decided to brush up one side and pin it down with some decorative pins and voila! My hair was ready to be rocked. I got a lot of compliments on this one - even though I didn't do much  really lol.

Lol I won't even begin to tell you the conversation that had gone down before I posed (and as I was posing for this picture)

Day 3

Okay so it was the last day so decided to put in a little more effort for this one. Decided on  a combination of 2 styles I've done before - 2 flat twists on the side for definition and rolls in the back and on top. I loved it and so did a number of people it would seem. I got stopped quite a lot by random people and acquaintances to pose for pictures and I was happy enough to let them snap away :)

Something really special was happening here - shall bring you deets in subsequent posts!

And that was it! I wore the last style till Monday and then it was back in a protective style again!! I don't need to tell you what sort of style it was as everyone knows my favorite protective style now - however there was plenty drama involved there - shall be gisting you about it in my next post!
