Twist/Twist-out Faux-hawk

Last weekend I went out with the girls and I wanted to wear a fun & funky style that would last. I posted a few days ago that I wanted to try out some "Goapele braids" and that weekend seemed to be the best time to do it so I gave it a try. 

I didn't do super small cornrows because I didn't have much time so I would like to try this look again with some itty bitty cornrows. The style was actually pretty easy to accomplish once I got my hair parted into the major sections. 

Here's my interpretation:

There is also a YouTube tutorial to go along with this style: 2-N-1 Faux-hawk

Braidout...

Inspired by: Moptop Maven

First I set my hair:

Then I let it dry overnight, took out the braids, fluffed and:

My braidout isn't as fluffy and full as the Moptop Maven's and I know why. I braided my hair when it was soaking wet (I wasn't thinking). The drier my hair the bigger my hair when I do braidouts or twist outs. What I really liked about this style was the time that it took to achieve and the simplicity of the process.

Sunday Style: Pin-curl Braidout

Sunday 08/29/2010

The braid and pin-curl was a style inspired by Koos over at The Fiesty House blogspot.

Due to the thickness of my hair I had to do quite a few braids. So it did take me about an hour to set my hair for this style. I like that this style stretched my hair out and showed off some of my length. The best part...it was easy to sleep in!

Check out my YouTube channel to see how I did the style.

An Inside Look

1 Corinthians 8:4-9, 1 Corinthians 10:23-33

For those in the church, the Bible is our guidebook. The "church" in this context refers to the living entity as well as the congregation- it's organic. In the text the people were concerned about meat - a petty issue. The concern about what meat was proper to eat was a surface issue for a deeper matter and that was: "What do you do when the people in the church are not on one accord?" When you have matured in Christ be careful that your freedom does not become a stumbling block for others (as with the weaker Christians and the ones with knowledge in the text). We were all once babes in Christ. When the church is in you, you will focus on what gives God glory and NOT YOUR gratification.
