Genie loc-Yarn braiding hair style love

New yarn twist and braid style.

From beginner it only took me two summers of trying. From mt last post about this genie loc style. Youtuber blackonxy was my genie lock guru her video's rock. This style is amazing protection last for 4 weeks while maintaining all hair care routines.  I simply love this hair style for making crazy updo's and twisty bun things. It took my 5 hour loads with breaks unlike my first attempt which I had to coordinate between work....It took days. Longer and small braids looked awesome but the time to recreate it I would rather spend making jewelery.

  I Started out my braid in a three strand braid followed by two strand twist and  finished off with three strand braid and burning the ends with a lighter. Sticking my head over a pot of hot water is not my  cup of tea. This photo shows what the finished look is

my hair at shoulder length layered

 As my hair grows to new lengths I try to choose style that reflect my idle length. Also Toronto is freaking heating up to new hot clammy days. As always ill be in my studio creating something fun or out in the garden or at my other office chilling. Salmon Out!

Family thang! hair fun

Hair care day having a chance to research and use ayurvedic herbal hair treatments. Just search  youtube and someone is sure to show you recipes annd how to's all the benefit.

I just found just one easily accessible store that carries Amla neem etc so that i  can see what al the fuss is about. I have a  month to go still before I   am able to notice any positive signs. Richer darker shine and strengthening is what i am hoping to have at the end.

Oh yes and after months of having my Sister's hair in genie locks "the horror". Her hair is a knotted confusing that only I have any hope of smoothing out. This is the first real conditioning in a long while. Air drying and still damp I would like her hair to look this  under control when fully fry.

Length check on my way to bra strap lenght slowly and steadily as I keep my ends safe this winter. The golf may have my bones but it will not take my hair.






Here is her fro-magesty in all its pillowie softness. I needed to rubber band stretch  her hair due to the foreseen shrinkage when full dried.
