A Day in the Life of My Natural Hair (Picture Heavy)

Okay, so I had twists in my hair from Monday-Sunday. On Sunday AM, I looked in the mirror(at my raggedy twists) and didn't like what I saw. I looked a hot mess and thought to myself, "life is too short to feel ugly." So, I took them out Sunday Morning.

This is what transpired after the twists removal.
*Keep in mind that my hair is oily and weighed down which is why it looks so thin.*

 

Directly after removing twists.

 

Didn't separate yet

 

My hair shrinks at least 50 percent

 

Tried to pin it back without separating, but my hair looked too thin

 

Tried a half up half down style but my hair looked crazy because the ends weren't separated

 

 

Tried a pompadour pony style, but wasn't feeling it

 

 

Tried a side-puff, but wasn't feeling that either

 

So, I put it in a regular puff and that looked a hot mess because the hair was somewhat stretched

 

So, I changed my shirt and earrings then settled on a ponytail.

 

 

See! All of that just for a dang ponytail. LOL. Gotta love the trials and errors of hair styling.

 

 ...and let me add that my hair never looks the same after removing twists(it all has to do with the size, how you care for  them and how you treat the hair after removing them)

This was my hair a few weeks ago after removing and finger combing  larger twists
