For some stupid unknown reason, I decided to take my weave out last night without having made a future hairdressers appointment for the next weave. I must have hit my head and came to the decision that my natural hair needs to be out for a while so that it can breathe. I'm a very sick girl!
As soon as the last track was cut from my head, I instantly regretted it! Fair enough, I had that particular weave in for over 2 months so it was well past its sell by date but I miss the low maintenance. All I had to do was straighten the little bit of my hair that was left out, brush the weave and I would be good to go!
The length of my natural hair makes me look like a child, so I definitely had to purchase some new hair and weaving clips. The simple idea of clip ins is genius! As long as you buy the correct texture hair and correct colour, the clip ins will blend in very well with your hair...no doubt.
However, the initial creation of clip ins is a pain in the arse! Having to measure the tracks along your head and them having to sew them onto the little clips is long and annoying. But once that's done, you can just clip and go!
I'm not yet an expert at clip ins (I wish!) but I definitely feel that I have fooled quite a lot of people into thinking all the hair on my head is mine. I have difficulties doing the front of my hair, mostly because the front of my hair is quite thin and short so its not as easy disguising the clips but I'm able to work around it.
So whilst my hair is out, I will be experimenting with clip ins, and if I discover ways to make them look even better I will be sure to share them with you.
If you have any tips please do let me know!
