I promise this isn't a post about that horrific book and from what I hear that mildly but not really sexual movie. So I got my hair twisted. As usual it's a godsend. Somewhat atypical I am doing a better job of using the moisturizing spray and leave in conditioner on the length of my hair like Gina Marie mentioned in a video not too long ago. Now that I have recommitted to getting my 100 workouts in this year, not having to toy with my hair is much appreciated. I am six away from that for those who are wondering. But as is also usual the gray hair that stays mostly hidden for a week or so is like yeah chick I'm back. I know it's not likely that the braid shop keeps it in stock and not wanting them to order a bunch just for me I went looking for gray braiding hair. Go figure that was trendy this year for some reason. Edgy and different to purposely dye your hair gray instead of letting nature do it to you slowly over a prolonged period of time I get it. I think it's weird but I get it lol. There seem to be no shortage of braiding hair brands and options online. I know what I'm Looking for in terms of color but what I'm finding is there is no standard gray.
There's a gray and black ombre. If the color pattern was flipped it might be okay but not my favorite look.
There's what looks to be a medium gray as well but it seems too dark for my hair which is closer to white than a straight gray.
There is also a mix but I can only find that on Amazon and one local store and the hair felt like crap so I left it there. The look is cute on the blogger (SimplyGorgeousNic) that I saw but the hair isn't local. Random aside: as I went to check out the blog to properly give her credit she's raving about the hair so I trolled a few videos and found it at BNG hair. I may have completed my search, we'll see.
And then there's just plain old white which seems way too drastic for my hair and face even though my hair has begun to abandon all pigment like an evil little color sucking troll camped out and went to town.
Blah, all in an effort to blend my hair into the braids better I'm on the great gray braiding hair hunt. Here's a photo of me shortly after they were installed.
And one from a few days ago I think.
It was clearly sloppy pull back day. But it works and I like them so much more than the last time I had them done. I greatly appreciate one of the stylists well not two in the shop that do my hair because they pay attention and they work quickly without being weird or eating in my ear---I seriously cannot explain how much I seriously hate that.
So what do you think of gray/silver/white braids? I'm excited about the possibility even though I think it will just confuse people more. The woman at the braid shop thought I wanted the silver hair to be cute until she saw my damn near white hair and said my hair doesn't match my face and I look much younger. I'll take it, especially less than a week from my next birthday but the gray hair has been my friend since I was twelve, so a long damn time lol.
