Wild & Crazy


The woman in this photograph has a very unique style to her hair. This is all her natural hair. She colored her hair with blond streaks. It seems to me like she has a wet and wavy look going on with her hair. After she washed her hair, she let it air dry. In addition to letting the hair air dry, she added some hair mouse and spritz to the style. This helps the hair dry quicker and hardens the hair. She pulled a little hair from the side clipped it up with a bobbypin. She even has a crimpy side bang. She is really daring with hair colors. Many people are afraid to die their hair, but I think the color goes well with her complexion. Although the style is wild and crazy, it's also very cute. There is something really different about the hairstyle. I am going to give this a Hair Do!

What in the World?


The woman pictured in this photograph has kinky twists in her hair. Well, at least in the front of her head, she's wearing kinky twists. It seems like she decided to take some of the kinky twists out, but never finished taking the hair out in the front. I am going to flat out that this looks a hot mess. You can see her nappy/crimpy hair sticky up. It's not stylish at all. On a positive note, I really like the color of her kinky twist. The hair color goes extremely well with her skin complexion. I would actually suggest that she dye her hair that color. She should have just taken out all of her kinky twists before taking any pictures. After she takes out the remainding kinky twists, I'd advise that she get a perm as soon as posible. I'm sorry, but I have to give this style a Hair Don't!

Simply Bobbing


The young lady in this piture has a simple bob cut going on. She has tucked the left side of her hair in back of her ear and has the right side of her hair dangling in her face. The left side of her hair is actually cut shorter than the right side. I think this cut works perfectly with her face structure. She has a beautiful brownish colored hair. This definitely matches her skin complexion in a great way. I forgot to mention that this is all her real hair. No weave was added to this hairstyle. I think it's nice how she has her hair in her face but not enough to cover her eyes. I really enjoy simple hairstyle that look completely elegant. To maintain this style, all you'd have to do is curl the hair under just a tad bit. You would also have to wrap your hair up with a scarf. I'd give this style a Hair Do!

Yank that Wig Off ASAP

The young girl in this video has a full sewn-in weave. This means that all of her hair is braided underneath. Someone took a needle and thread and sewed the weave tracks onto her braided hair. This hairstyle keeps your natural hair safe and helps it grow. Some people wouldn't have even known that this was a sew-in weave. It really looks like a wig that you could easily yank off. The hairstyle looks a little lopsided on her face. The hair color is too dark for her complexion. She need a color that's lighter. The weave she's wearing looks really fake. I wouldn't be surprised if I found out that the hair was synthetic. This cannot be human hair because it look extremely too rough. Whoever cut her weave could have done a better job. They tried to cut it in layers, but it didn't turn out the best. The cutting of her bangs see alright. I absolutely positively have to give this style a Hair Don't!

Styling & Profiling

The young lady pictured in this photograph is shown with her natural hair. She has a little pump in the middle of her had. She even decided to include a side bang to her hairstyle. It's actually very interesting how she styled her bang. It kind of looks like she should have combed the bang to the right side. Either way, they hairstyle still works. Her hair is very wavy. She probably never straightened it after washing her hair. I can tell that she did straighten her bang though. The wavy effect makes her hair fuller. This was a very simple style, but turned out extremely cute. I'd have to give this a Hair Do!

Mini-Pump with Baby Hair on the Side


The young lady in this photograph has a simple yet stylish hairstyle. She has a mini pump in the middle and hair coming down on both sides. This is all her natural hair. She even has a little baby hair in the front. The baby hair gives the hairstyle an innocent look. She seems to have either a fresh perm or a recent straightening of the hair. For this style, all you need is a comb and rubberband. You use the comb to part your hair. The rubberband is used to create the pump and hold it it place. Some people also use bobbypins to create higher pumps. She has a low pump, so no bobbypins were needed. Her hair color is jet black, which goes great with her skin complexion. This easy hairstyle is definitely a Hair Do!

Oh No...What Were You Thinking?


The young lady pictured here in this photograph decided to walk out of the house without doing her hair. She actually went out in public and partook in many activities without any regard for her hair. On a positive note, here hair color goes extremely well with her skin complexion. It seems like she may have had a nice hairstyle going on a week or two ago, but just hasn't kept up with maintaining the style. I can tell that the humidity and even being around water has dried her hair out. All she would have to do is put a little grease in her hair and straighten it. I'd also suggest her curling her hair. If she bumped her hair under, it would look good as new! For now, I'm pretty sure you'd agree with me for giving this a Hair Don't!

Long, Black, & Beautiful

The lady pictured in this photograph has beautiful long weave. She has weave tracks sewed into her hair. This means that some of her hair is braided and weave is sewn in. The front of her hair is actually her natural hair blended in with the weave. She even curled her natural hair similar to the curl pattern of the weave. She is wearing black weave, which matches her natural hair color. I think the color goes great with her complexion. I would even suggest her trying a lighter color. I could see her with a light brown weave. The hair she is wearing is extremely long. Long hair goes well with her small head. I am very impressed with the hairstyle. Its looks like it is her real hair. This style is truly a Hair Do!

Hair Swooping the Eye


The young lady pictured here has a simple hairstyle going on. She parted her hair on the left side and swooped it to cover her eye. She has the other side of her hair pinned over. Pretty much all her hair is on the right side of her head. This style is becoming very popular. It is quick to style and easy to maintain. Although the hairstyle is somewhat plain, it does have an elegant appeal to it. If you add some stylish clips to this hairstyle on the side, that would really spice the hair up. This style would eventually get on my nerves because I like being able to see with both my eyes. I have a feeling that she constantly moves the hair piece over so she is able to see better. The style is very cute and original. I'd have to give this a Hair Do!

Silky Smooth Perm


The young lady pictured here has a nice, sleek perm. Her hair is cut shoulder-lengthed. She has side bangs covering her right eye. The color of her hair looks like a brownish-blonde. This hair color really works with her skin complexion. Her hair color also matches her hazel eyes. This is a nice Spring hairstyle to wear. The hair is just the right lenght....not too long and not too short. Her hair is very sleek and smooth. It seems to have a shiny effect to it. I'm not sure how she is able to see with one of her eyes covered by the hair, but nonetheless, this is a cute style. I'd give this a Hair Do!

Short Hair...Don't Care


The young woman in this photograph is pictured with short hair. She seems to have some type of grease or gel in her hair. I see some shiny spots throughout her hair. Her hair seems to be a little curled, but it looks like most of her curls fell or got combed out. Maybe if her hair was curled a little tighter, it would look better. Her baby hair in the front looks nice and sleek. There are so many hairstyles that can be done with short hair. The young lady could even put some of her hair up in a clip. This style would give her hair a more classy look. I'm going to have to declare this a Hair Don't!

Afrocentric


The lady in this picture has a beautiful afro. Her afro looks like a result of her having her hair braided for a month and finally taking the braids out. The afro hair you see is actually all weave. She had this afro weave sewn into her hair. Sew-in weaves usually look extremely natural, as hers does. The hair fits her face perfectly. The afro looks a little wild, yet tamed all at the same time. It seems to me like she even has a long afro bang on one side, which is swooped near her eye. The afro is neither too long nor too short. It is just right for her face. The dark color of the hair, brings out her skin complexion nicely. This hairstyle to me is an afrocentric look. I would say that is a Hair Do!

Color Gone Bad

The young lady pictured here has her natural hair straight down, with one strip of purple weave in the back. To many, this style is different and creative. In my opinion, she should have avoided the purple weave totally. Maybe I'm just not use to seeing people with purple hair. On a positive note, the purple weave goes well with her complexion. The style of her hair is simple, yet cute. If she had the purple weave throughout her hair and not just on the bottom, it might look a little better. I was always told that "Less is Best". In this hairstyle, the purple weave in unnecessary. I am going to have to give this style a Hair Don't!

Simple Style, With a Hint of a Smile


The hairstyle in this photograph is very simple. The young woman has one side of her hair clipped back. The rest of her hair is straight down. She has a side bang, which is parted from the middle of her head. I see this hairstyle pretty often. Some people do not use the clips and instead just hold the hair with a rubber band or scrunchie. The clip really adds a lot to the hairstyle. She seems to have a fresh perm or freshly straightened hair. Although the style is simple, it really works for her. Her hair is just the right length; not too long nor not too short. There are many cute styles that do not require weave, and I believe that this is one of them. I'd give this style a Hair Do!

Elegant Orange

The young lady here pictured in this photograph has a lot going on with her hair. She has multi-colors throughtout her hair. You can see she has a little brown, a few streaks of blonde, and a whole lot of orange in her hair. The brown colored hair is this young lady's natural hair. The orange hair is actually weave. She has a very nice bang that is flipped over in a fancy way. The hairstyle altogether is very elegant and professional looking. The weave blends in nicely with her real hair. The orange hair color goes great with her complexion. The hair length fits her face perfectly. The stylist even cut the hair in very nice layers. This style is absolutely a Hair Do!

Braid Puff

The girl in this picture has cornrow braids in her hair.
She has a weave afro puff as her ponytail. The cornrows are in a neat creative design. Her weave afro puff seems to have tiny curls throughout. The puff goes very well with the cornrow braids. Her natural hair blends in nicely with the weave. Some would not even realize that the puff was weave, because it looks so natural. She even has baby hair in the front of her head, which works well with the braids. I'd have to declare this a Hair Do!

Side Pony or Just Plain Phony?

The young lady here is photographed with a side ponytail. She has her hair gelled into the weave ponytail. The weave ponytail uses combs and drawstrings to attach to her natural hair. The ponytail blends in very well with her natural hair color. In my opinion, she could have done a better job gelling her hair back into the ponytail. She may not have a perm and that is why her hair isn't as straight as the weave. All you would need is extra gel on your hair. If you wrapped your hair with a scarf for about 20 minutes, it would look just as straight as the weave ponytail. I would have to give this style a Hair Don't!

The Short Cut

The lady pictured here has a short cut hairstyle. The length of her hair is medium in the front and short in the back. The front actually has a few tracks of weave, which is glued into her hair. She has a shape up in the front of her hair, which gives her a nice hairline. Her short hair is cute in layers going down. She has a "swoop" in the front of her hair. The "swoop" is actually a side bang. Her bang is curled and flipped up. This fits her face very well. There is not too much you can do with this style. You pretty much have to keep it the same way. You could curl the hair under, but that is about it. This hairstyle typically last for about 2 weeks. I'd give this a Hair Do!

Old Micros or better yet, Bold Micros


The girl photographed in this picture has micros. The micros are not fresh looking though. They look like they've been in here hair for a good 2 months. From this picture, you can see her new growth hair. She has a medium brown color weave in her hair. It goes very well with her skin complexion. You can definitely see her black hair coming from the root of her hair. Her hair needs to be re-braided or just taken out. She is wearing wet & wavy braids. Wet and wavy braids begin to crimp when water is applied to them. They usually last for a month and a half. She kept her braids in way past that mark. This hairstyle is a Hair Don't!

Bob Cut or Blob Nut?

The hairstyle photographed to the right is called a bob cut. The bob cut style is typically cut straight around the head at about jaw length. The young lady's hair is long in the front. In the back of her head, the hair looks shorter, but its all cut at the same length. Bob cuts can be styled with the part in the middle or on different sides on your head. In this picture, the part is right in the middle of the young lady's head. She is actually wearing weave. Many people add weave to their hair, so that the stylist won't cut their real hair. The weave is what's being cut in the bob style. She chose a dark black weave. This blends in perfectly with her natural hair color. Some people wouldn't even know the difference between the weave and her real hair. I'd definitely give this a Hair Do!

Kinky or just plain Stinky?

The young lady pictured here has kinky twist braids in her hair. This style is similar to regular braid. Instead of using three strands of hair, this style on requires two strands to braid. All you do is twist the hair, with the two strands. The kinky twist in this photograph is shoulder-length. Depending on your preference, you could have the hair styled long or short. Kinky twist normally take about 6-8 hours to do, depending on the hairstylist. This style usually lasts for about 2-3 months. In this photo, the young lady has the front of her hair up in a pump. You can style the kinky twist in many different ways. This style in my opinion is a Hair Do!

Long Hair or Wrong Hair?


The young lady pictured in this photo gave me an exclusive look of here natural hair. She hasn't washed her hair in over a week. She feels that this will make her hair longer. The young lady is an athlete and sweats a lot, due to practice. She usually wears her hair in a bun, but she took the hair out for me. It seems like there are extremely tight curls throughout her hair. They actually give her hair a "dreadlock" effect. I was told that she hadn't combed her hair in a few days. When she finally does comb the tangled hair, I feel that she's going to have a hard time getting it nice and straight. Her hair is very long with the tangled dreadlock effect and when she does finally loosen the curls and straighten her hair, it'll be even longer. For now, I have to give this style a Hair Don't!

Cornrows or Corn-No?


The lady pictured in this photo has cornrow braids in her hair. The she has zig zag cornrows in the front of her head and individual braids in the back of her hair. There were about fifteen cornrow braids altogether. This hairstyle typically takes about 4 hours, due to the time consuming individual braids inthe back. The cornrows have to be braided tight so they can last. This style can usually last for a month, depending on how you take care of it. If you put a scarf on it at night, it'll look fresh for a long time. You can style the hair up in a ponytail, have all the hair down, or put half of the hair up and half down. These cornrows are very neat and well done. I would say this is a Hair Do!

Ponytail or Ponyfail?

This is a photograph of a young lady whose hair is pulled back into a ponytail. She decided to add a braided piece of weave and clipped it to the front of her hair. The braided weave was suppose to be her bang. She has a neat ponytail. Her hair is nice, straight, and long. You can see her sleek babyhair. I just don't understand why she would add that fake bang to the front of her hair. It messed up the whole hairstyle. If you look closely at the picture, you can see the random clip thats holding her weave in place. You can also see some of the braided weave sticking out in the middle of her head. The only good thing about the braided weave is that the color blends in nicely with her hair. This hairstyle is a ponyfail. I have to declare this a Hair Don't!

New Weave on the Block!

I am pictured in this photo wearing a new type of weave. This is called a Lace Front Wig. Lace fronts are wigs that come with a natural hairline. The wigs usually look like real hair is coming from the scalp. The hairline you see in the picture is not mine, but instead the wig's. You can also part about an inch of the hair in the front. The particular lace front I am wearing comes from the company Sensationnel. The name of this wig is called Serena. The hair is black with brown streaks in it. The wig is actually layered very nicely. The back of the hair is very long. This lace front can be styled in many different ways. These wigs typically last for a month and a half. The Serena Lace Front is indeed a Hair Do!

Rainbow Braids


This young lady photographed has micro braids. These type of braids are extremely thin and tight. It typically takes about an 8-10 hours to complete the hairstyle. She has two-tone micro braids. The top portion of her micros is a blondish color, while the rest of her hair is black. This two-tone style works very well together. The micro braids are versatile. The young lady has her hair up in a nice bun, yet you can style the braid in many ways. You could let the micro braids can hang down, have it in a ponytail, or even curl and crimp the hair. Micros usually last for about two months. Many hairstylists charge $150-$200 dollars to do the braids. The young lady's micros are very unique. I would definitely say that this style is a Hair Do!

Lopsided Wig


This photograph displays a young lady with a wig on. Her wig seems to be a little lopsided. The hair is cut in a short style. Short hairstyles are best in the summer, because they are easy to maintain, with less weight on your shoulders. I believe the wig is too small for her head. The color of the wig is a dirty brown. I think that the color matches her complexion perfectly. A lighter brown hair color would also be a great look for her. If she turns the wig around a little and combs it out, I think the style would look better. She could really make this wig work with some tweeks to it. For now, I'd declare this a Hair Don't!

The Fro Has Got To Go!


I want to declare this afro a Hair Don't from the start. Prior to the "fro", I had cornrowed braids in my hair and I took them out. The horrible afro was the result of taking out my braids. My hair was crimpy and nappy all at the same time. I was at home when this photograph was taken, so I really didn't care if my family saw my bad hair. I wouldn't ever go outside with this hairstyle though. Here are a few suggestions to improving the hairstye: Pull it back into a ponytail and put a head-band over the hair, Re-braid the hair and apply a weave to it, or Get a perm and have the hair straight and silky. Again, this afro hairstyle is definitely a Hair Don't!

UnbeWeavable

This photograph shows a picture of me this Summer. The hair you see is all weave. This hairstyle only requires a stocking cap, hair tracks and hair glue; which can all be purchased at Beauty Supply Stores worldwide. The weave I used was the Duby Wrap. I put the stocking cap on my head and glued the hair tracks onto the cap; starting from the bottom on up. I then added an addition weave closure to the crown of my hair cap. The problem was that the first weave I used was human hair and the hair closure was synthetic. The difference between the two is that you can curl human hair, while most synthetic hair cannot be curled. I forgot that I had two kinds of weave in my hair and curled all of it. This was not a good idea at all. The synthetic weave ended up burning a little, which completely messed the hairstyle up. I tried all I could to make the style work, and wore the weave for one day only. I'd absolutely have to give this style a "Hair Don't!"

Fresh Relaxer or Fresh Disaster?


This photograph displays me with a fresh perm, also known as a fresh relaxer. This picture was taken about a year ago. I used the hair product Dark & Lovely Relaxer: Regular for my perm. Prior to getting my hair done, I began to have split ends; so I decided to also get my hair trimmed. This hairstyle was cut in nice layers. The length of my hair in this picture is to my neck. The hair length is not too short and not too long. I constantly change hairstyles, but I kept this style for about a month and a half. This is an easy hairdo that does not require much effort. At night all you have to do is wrap your hair with a scarf and you'll be set. In the morning, comb out your wrap and the curl should still be there. I'd say this hairstyle is a "Hair Do!"
