Changing My Hairstyle-Looking good is a choice

Have you ever wondered what style of hair to make? What colour of extension to use? What style and who will give you that perfect style you want? I fell into this situation and I was confused as a result. I had to carry my last braid longer than I was supposed to.

I made zigzag hair style the last one. In fact, I love that style that it easily comes to my mind whenever I think of changing my hair style. But I needed something different this time. Something that will look unique, and affordable owing to the economy situation in the country.

Well, I quickly saw my hair stylist's hair and this style I am carrying now came to my mind. She made big braids that doesn't cost much, doesn't take much time to complete and it's somehow unique. I saw it in her status and I quickly told her that I will like to braid my hair. Well, we decided on a date and that was Friday last week.

I went as agreed and I had to make a choice of the colour of the extension to use. I didn't have so many options because the colours she displayed in her shop was just 3, black, golden and this one I am carrying now which is called burnt ginger. I was surprised to hear the name anyways. But that was the colour that I was attracted to from the ones available.

She also said she loved it and that it will fit me. I searched out the style and asked her if she can give me something like that and she agreed. That was how we started. First, I told her to paint my toe nails so that it will dry before we are done braiding the hair. I chose green colour for my nails which is the colour on my toes as shown in the picture below . She cleaned the one on it and painted this one.

Then she brought out the extension and cut it so as to get it ready. Thus it will be easier for her. She began the braiding by 11am and finished by 4pm. I needed short braids with 3 steps. The back o.es will be longer than the middle ones and then the front ones will be smaller than the middle, that way, they will overlap each other. Then the tips will be curled to add beauty to is.

I had in mind that the braids will be bigger in size but I found out that it will take more packs of extension and I don't have such money. I decided that it will be this size so that only one pack of extension will be used. At the end of the day we still used a pack and one quarter. What I love most is the fact that she took her time to beautify the hair as you can see.

After braiding the hair, she trimmed off the unwanted parts, then tied the tips for curling and then boiled hit water to perform the curling magic. Thank goodness that I was steady so that the hot water didn't touch me to hurt me. Everything went well. The hair was done and she untied the tips to achieve curling you see at the tips of each of the braids.

Next, I decided that I will fix eye lashes. Yes, it's been a little while. I decided to flex this time. I chose the design they called cat eyes where one part is shorter and the other part is longer. It was fixed carefully such that it didn't hurt my eyes. Then my eyebrows were shaped too.

That was it. Beauty costs money but this one at this time is a bit cheaper than any other one you can think of that is presentable as this one is. I am glad I got my hair style that gives me what I want at affordable price. Yes, it's good that I changed my style because I don't know when next I will have such opportunity. That Friday was my free day. But tell be the truth, what do you think about the style, the colour and the cost? @okere-blessing @m-fdo @drhira @dequeen @goodybest @eliany and others, ease gather
