Protective Styles: Marley Braids/Twists

This has to be one of my favourite protective styles because it gave me absolutely no stress.  My marley braids were done by "DazzlingBraidsByNell" and she did a great job.  The very first shot is my hair the morning before.  

Preparing my hair:

1. washing - I gave Angie a good scrub 
2. conditioning - you can use a deep conditioner but I used my favourite which is also a leave in 
3. leave in - I rinsed most of the knot today out of my hair and hopped out the shower. While my hair was still wet I added more knot today as my leave in 
4. leave more in - because moisture is important and I was using the dreaded heat (which I don't dread at all) as I sectioned my hair I sprayed on 
5. stretching - because my hair has massive shrinking issues I decided to make it easy for the stylist and blow dried my hair with a regular Conair blow dryer. So I A)sectioned B)conditioned C)added an oil
6. Sealed - with this oil which has an anti breakage serum. & I used my Denman and pulled my hair out. 

Below is the result:

Headed to submerge these twists

Getting the marley hair wet - it wasn't as heavy as I thought

Just showing you how much it's grown out

Then I took them all out - and got THIS:

 

Day 3: Stella Maris, Long Island

After a rainy morning the sun came out, beaming the blessings. Some people were learning how to scuba dive here, so after the man told me I didn't need to know how to swim to scuba... & I declined, we were off to the next pool. No Scuba Diving for ME.

Me and mum - profiling and semi smiling

Moonshine bar & grill was the most amazing spot...breeze better than A/C

By now you know my mom isn't the best photographer but I love this shot

                                                                                       And this one!

And shortly after this shot, we fell asleep

           Before we got ready for church we stuffed our guts; grouper fingers, fries and a salad

        I should have left a couple of fries on the plate to make it look like I'm not a gubba - but I can't be bothered, I'm a Gubba!

This is St. Mary's Anglican Church in Glintons; lovely service - they said farewell to a much loved priest  

After the service and meeting some of the locals....more exploring. 

And watched the sun set!

My belly needed some <3 so we had some mozzarella sticks

Until next time....
