Fourth day hair! It’s something I rarely strive for any more because I actually just really like washing my hair every other day or so, but for real— Lola was looking her best at Day Four after her color and set from Madusalon. Oh so very good that I had to record a little show’n'tell all about it!

I just peeped this over on BGLH and had-had-HAD to repost. There are some natural hair styles that we aim to achieve that can take hours upon hours, sometimes even days and are well worth the effort. But more often than not in today’s rat race of life, who in the world has hours and days to spend on their hair on a regular basis?! Certainly not this gal. Which is why I appreciate oh-so very much this video, in which Tamika from Natural Resources Salon demonstrates how to do four gorgeous and elegant styles in a matter of minutes. That is an average of 2.5 minutes per style, folks!

What Goes Up Must Come Down

The wedding updo was gorgeous and not only did it last through the whole night, but also through the entire next day without budging an inch. I would guess that this was a direct result of the fact that each section of my hair was sprayed with the new Deva Hairspray and secured with bobby pins. The last thing I wanted was to have a falling or frizzy updo and the result was a picture perfect, but totally rigid style. I thought about wearing the style for a couple of days, but not only were the bobby pins becoming uncomfortable, but also I began to fear that Lola was suffocating beneath all of that product.

I insisted upon two things for this black-tie only wedding hairstyle:

-no loose curls
-it must last 15 hours

Here’s how it turned out!
