Straw Set ~ short natural hair

This style was a long time coming. I put it off because I knew it would take up a lot of time and would be quite tedious to accomplish, especially on short hair.
Well my cousin offered to help. Four hands are better than two (in this case) so we went for it.

State of Hair
- dry, stretched and sectioned

Products Used
- small straws (cut in halves and thirds)
-coconut oil (for scalp)
- As I Am twist define cream
-gel
-comb
-bob pins

Time
- about 2.5 hrs

Set Time
- from about 6pm-1.30pm (next day)

Next day Results



2nd day Results




Thoughts
I had a lot of flake-age the next day. The straws and clips were extremely uncomfortable to
sleep with, BUT I will try this style again in a couple months using different 
products and probably bigger straws ;)

Basically a pair of cute shorts, with a top/blouse and a sleek blazer. My hair is a fresh bantu-out, necklace and tank from h&m, "shorts" from Danice, shoes from random store down town Manhattan (I was actually trying to sell these...and still kinda am lol), scarf from random store and bag from Rainbow Now a little info on the shorts...

Big Chopped!

Image
So yes I big chopped! I have about 1-2 inched of hair on my head right now and I gotta tell you, I'm loving it! LOL It was sort of a spur of the moment decision. I mean, I was thinking about it for a while (since I took out the crochet braids) but never thought I would do it. Then one night, in the middle of Prison Break I just went for it. Just. Like. That. That was November 1st. Well, since then I've bin doing twist outs with my usual products (blue magic leave in, almond oil), but I just purchased a new twist out product from the 'As I Am' brand. I heard good things about the line and can't wait to try it! It's all about healthy hair for me now. I'm not stressing it. No color (hopefully, cause I'm thinking of  blue black *sigh*) and definitely no heat. I want my hair to grow out healthy and strong; looking, feeling and being. If that makes sense.  I would be trying out different things like rod sets (if possible), straw sets, wash and go ...
