Hair-DO or Hair-DONT

I'm gonna start a reoccuring feature on my blog entitled: Hair-DO or Hair-DON'T


What the feature will consist of: Whenever I find a style that I want to mimic I'll put the inspiration up here and try to recreate it...probably with a little alteration to it. I'll also put up a picture or video of my verion of the recreated style. If  I like the style I'll proclaim it a hair-DO, if it's a complete failure or I don't think I'll be doing the style very often it'll be proclaimed a Hair-DON'T. I'll also say what I liked or disliked about the style as well.


So..without further adieu!!!

Janelle Monae Inspired Hair-------DO!

Inspiration:

Style Recreated/ Altered:

How I wore it out later that night:

Verdict: I loved this style! I wore it on halloween to go with my 1920's Flapper Theme but it could easily be worn out at other outings. It was very edgy/funky and complimented my headshape.
How-To: It was not hard to do at all. I french braided the back upwards and pinned it down. Then I preceeded to pull all the loose braids forwards and twist them backwards into a bun shape. I then pinned the bun shape down in the middle. Sounds harder typed out than it actually was.
Downfall: I guess the hairstyles' only downfall would be that it isn't very conservative friendly, not really a go to church.... or run for presidency type of hairstyle lol.
The Obvious Alteration: I had to do it with my senegalese twists cause I'm still protective styling right now but it is definitely something I'd try out with my natural hair as well.

Hope you liked my first hair-DO or hair-DON'T post!
