I decided to have my sister install a weave and keep it in for atleast 2 months. By the way, check out her blog and youtube videos at http://www.hairdelacreme.com/. She has great information on growing and maintaining healthy hair.
My sister braided my hair in sort of an orange peel design.
She left out my edges in case I want to wear ponytails.
She then sewed the braids down.
This is the hair that was installed. There was a sale at my beauty supply store. I bought two packs, one is 14 inces for $59.99 and the other is 12 inches for $49.99. Duvessa is premium quality Remi hair designed to last longer. Its tangle free and easy to care for.
After installing the weave, I dyed my hair with a black rinse, blowdried and straightened. Here is my final result.
I am really loving the straight look. When I get bored I'll layer the front and curl it. I'll be sure to post those pics. Later guys!
