Hmmm what hairstyle to do ?!!

September 21, 2011 in My journey, Special Ocassions

Hey ladies (and perhaps gentlemen)!

I thought I’d share the events that took place (or more precisely thought processes!) when deciding what hairstyle I’d do for my birthday.

So for my 21st bday I had a nice little up do planned which I stumbled across on YouTube (video to be posted soon!) but then I change my mind and thought hmmm maybe I’ll just do an afropuff. My friends and I admittedly thought this was BORING! So I changed my mind again…and then I saw another hairstyle (by MsVaughnTV – YouTube) I wanted to do:

… But then I changed my mind back to the original hairstyle.

So the Saturday night before ‘D-day’, my friend and I started the prep. Long story short, it all went horribly wrong :’( My hair just wasn’t doing what I wanted it to.

So I restyled….
… Then restyled again

[1:40am or around so]

I was about to burst into tears (a slight exaggeration, it was more of a hissy fit tbh) and a thought came to me [lightbulb moment!]:

If you’re not succeeding with all these hair styles (and I couldn’t persist as I had church in a few hours – I needed to do something sensible with my hair!), why not just do what you do best – keep it simple. So I did! Stuck with my afropuff and learnt a lesson:

Don’t be afraid to keep it simple – sometimes it screams louder than extravagance

Encouragement to you ladies: if you’re looking for a hairstyle for a special event, there are loads around and YouTube offers a great range but sometimes, what you may find is the simple, everyday hairstyle may just do the trick
