The day is finally here! The challenge is finally over and I have now compiled all the
31 styles that I wore, along with the
name I gave the styles and the name of the
places I went to take pictures at below. I hope you've gotten to know a bit about my city in the past five weeks. Also, I hope you've been inspired by my level of creativity with the texture and length of my hair. And I challenge you to do the same!
Like I mentioned in week 5 post, I had to make up most of these styles which I am proud of. I tried to copy some styles online, but couldn't because it was either that my hair wasn't stretched enough, a different texture, volume or length or the style didn't go with the theme of the week. So, I just
let my hands, hair and mood decide the style of the day!
Also, because this is also a contest, I have
announced the name of the winner at the end of this post. So scroll down to find out.

lol, congrats! and thanks for following each week.
DeleteBeautiful, Gorgeous Hair styles. How versatile our afro textured hair is.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!! for sharing I'll be trying to copy many of these styles.
Thanks, please remember to share when you do replicate these styles
DeleteLovely!!! It was great meeting you!!! Thanks for stopping by the store :) Did you try the red ochre yet?
ReplyDeletehey,
DeleteI haven't tried the ochre yet and I can't seem to find a YT tutorial or anything on it. I might need to ask you how to use it. I plan to try the rhassoul clay this week though.
Ok no problem enjoy the Rhassoul! not surprised you can't find anything red ochre - it's indigenous to the Himba tribe in Namibia. Very little has been written on this tribe. We have 2 of the artists visiting for 3 weeks -they arrive on Tuesday; join Nharo on FB so that you can meet & greet them and ask about the ochre and their culture as well.
Deletegreat, thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye on the facebook fan page to watch out for the meet and greet. pictures of last years event already has me excited.
DeleteOk, you have inspired me. I have been stuck on twists for a while!
ReplyDeletethanks girl! please do share some of your styles when you eventually get off the twists ;)
DeleteNice styles! I love all the hair styles and what do you use on your face? It is soooooooo smooth!
ReplyDeletehi TWA4now, thanks for the compliment. It's funny you mentioned, I actually just started a "disciplined" natural skin care regimen after going through some of these pictures and thought I could do better. As you can see from the pictures, I wore very little make up as I am still on a search for a natural make up line. So I guess not wearing make up too much make up and even skipping it on some days and using natural skin care products have really helped my skin.
DeleteI actually plan to start posting about natural skin care and healthy eating starting next week, so make sure you keep an eye out for the posts ;)
Thank you for putting this up! I am going to run and get my comb and work it! You lookin good!
ReplyDeletelol, please share some of your styles with us.
