I remember in my youth, I was helping Kid Sis #2 with some sort of assignment she was doing for school. She had to create a commercial and I still don't remember what the class was, but I helped. The product was the A.H.C. - I don't remember what that stood for, but I was one of the voices of the commercial that used the product successfully. I just remember using a strong Nigerian accent and saying something about how the A.H.C. would make your hair "teeek and full of bo-deeee!" We all still laugh at that commercial.
I think I have been secretly using this product since my hair is so thick and full of body requiring me to use more of the extensions than other people for the twists. Despite getting the amount she said that everyone needs, we ran out before my hair was 3/4 finished.
I had to go to the store with 3/4 of my hair completed in braids and a small afro puff.
I looked crazy.
Two good things did happen, though.
- There was no one else in the store when I went in there, so no one except the cashier saw me looking crazy.
- The hairdresser put my hair in an afropuff, so I now know I can rock a bunch of those when the twists eventually come out.
A third thing happened about 3 hours after the store run... she finished the twists and I was able to go home, clean up, and sleep. Fourth good thing that happened is that I slammed down some diner pancakes, bacon, and eggs the next morning to make up for not eating much during the marathon twisting session.
12 hours of looking in a mirror??!!!!!! I would have absolutely freaked out!!
ReplyDeleteFortunately, there was no mirror. It was done in her apartment, so I sat in an uncomfortable chair and watched 6 and a half movies and her twin two-year old daughters the entire time.
Delete12 hours aint no joke at all. So what do you use to make your hair full though? I need help with mine
ReplyDeleteNo joke indeed.
DeleteI've basically been off most chemicals in my hair and take Biotin vitamins and use Coconut oil. I try not to manipulate it too much after the morning comb (when it is in the afro) and had started to twist it each Sunday and then twist out on Wednesday/Thursday.
Other than that, I think it is just naturally thick.
Twelve hours my word girl you have some long suffering points in your bag!! LOL woowee that is a long time of hair pulling, I hope though you enjoy the gal who does your hair because that visiting can make up for the hours spent sitting?? I think you rocked that picture :)) you have very pretty eyes so I wasn't noticing the hair so much haha. Enjoy your new hair :}
ReplyDeleteThanks for the eye compliment!!
DeleteIt was definitely a long time and a LOT of hair pulling!
TWELVE HOURS!!!! How did you do that? Sit there? Love the poofs! Those would be really cute. You certainly deserved that bacon!
ReplyDeleteBacon is well deserved any time for me!
DeleteI don't know how I managed... watching the movies really made time fly faster, though.
Thanks on the poofs! I'll definitely try them out.
