First Protective Style of The Year - Crochet With Havana Mambo Twist.

In light of the fact that I'm continuing with my protective styling this year, I decided that after about 2 weeks of deep conditioning and moisturizing my hair while it was out; it was time for it to go back into hiding.

It took me a while to decide what exactly I wanted to do - which is quite strange for me. I'm usually decisive about what I want to do and will plan like 3 - 4 styles ahead of time. For the last couple of days, I lined up Finger comber Hair, Afri Naptural Reggae braid and marley bulk hair on my bed and kept contemplating on what look I was going for.

At the last minute I decided I was going to get Havana Twists by crocheting the Havana Mambo Twist hair ( which wasn't one my initial choices by the way lol) Once that was decided, I chose the shade I wanted (sort of an Ombre Burgundy) and was good to go.

Are those braids? Did you do 'brush' in front? It looks so different!! - My latest Crochet Style is getting questions!

So! After almost 2 months of wearing wigs, I was tired and needed to put the hair away in something that I wouldn't have to worry about for some time to come. Remember my Afro wig I'd blogged about earlier? Well I'd worn it till it was crying for mercy!

Then I also bought a few others when I was away in April/May but only got round to trying one of them - a curly blonde/brown wig that I loved upon sighting in my favourite Beauty supply Store in London (PAKS).

Anyway, after rocking wigs for that long, I decided I'd get some crochet braids (what else lol) in. I had bought these pretwisted packs of hair in Atlanta and seeing as I hadn't gotten braids in a while, what better way to revisit them than by combining my favourite look with my favourite technique!!!
