Natural Afro Hair

My style for this week

After lounging about all day I finally forced myself to do my hair.

This took me about 5 hours as I was watching ‘Strictly’ and ‘Merlin’ and eating ravioli (yummy!). Yes I know how to multi-task!

For now I’ll try and work this for two weeks 🙂

This is my hair in January. I blow-dried, twisted then put it in a clip but those pesky clips itch my head! This wasn’t a long term solution.
