A new obsession....

I was on youtube the other day and I can across a video on "How to be Afro-Centric".  Yes, the video was crazy but I got some good tips from it.  So Friday I went to Sally's to pick up some Eco styler gel ($2.99)-so far I like it.
I also got one of these applicator bottles ($2.49) -->
I put my mix of Jojoba, Vitamin E, Peppermint, and Rosemary oil in it and I oiled my scalp (SUPER BOMB MIX BY THE WAY)

Any way I tried the flat twists.  I'm leaving them in until Thursday but I don't think they're going to come out like the lady's in the video that Cathy posted (thanks again Cathy, that was a really good tutorial).  But it was my first time so we'll see.

Anyway my new obsession is head wraps!!! I went to JoAnn's and got 8 yds of fabric (3 yds of black and 3 yds of red stretch cotton, 2 yds of the sheer fabric)  for $30 - $4/yrd for stretch cotton, $10/yd for sheer, scarf like material.  For those of you who don't know about fabric, I got a really good deal.  Here are the three videos I watched and then I used a mixture of all the technics to figure out how to get a bomb "Erykah Badu" wrap

Here is my first try from last night.  And yes that is an old ABC t-shirt that I turned into a tube dress (Watch part one of the crazy Afro-centric video if you wanna know how I did it)

VIDEOS

So I looked at all three videos (head wrap style 1, 2, 3) and then I picked pieces from them all and ended p with a pretty decent wrap.  I'll be rocking them spring quarter, so be on the look out

  2. You need 2 or 3 yards of fabric. I'd say go with 2 yds
