Nancy and the no good bad hair day! 'Do 5 (10/3/14)

Have you ever seen a video on YouTube and went "Hey I can do that!" I have learned, no Nancy, you can not do that! Well that is how I felt starting out on this hair day 10/3/14. -Side note: Happy Birthday Nanny!!- (my grandmother)
Today I also conquered my fear of teasing my hair. I didn't tease much, I'm still scared of teasing a bit but I did it! And honestly, it is the only thing about this hair I did on the first go and got right and LIKED.

I decided to do this Hair style today: I am trying to get it to start at that particular hair style but it is not cooperating!! Go to the 6:12 mark and you have my hair style!

What I did different. I decided to have a little poof at the top of my head cause I need to get over this fear of teasing!

Look at me over there getting my tease on! To be honest I am really happy with the way it turned out. I used the Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray and it was so easy to brush out the next morning (10/4/14). 

Here I divided my hair into 3 parts : 

Nothing major, though the "bumpy" bits were a bit aggravating and I couldn't get them to smooth down for anything. 

Here is my first attempt: 

So crooked! my hair was getting tangled up in each other. When Trying to do the hair through the twisty bit I don't even know how much hair I pulled out of my head! 

Here I thought I would try just a "two twist" look. I didn't like it it. I felt like too much hair was getting in my face and it just didn't look completed. So I took it all down and re-sectioned it off again. This time I did something a little different. 

I decided to twist each pony into a bun while I did the next one. It really helped me from getting my hair from one pony tangled up in the next. I also added a small rubber band at the end of each pony (sorry no picture) to help with control pulling it through. I still got some tangle but over all those two ideas helped save me from just calling it a total fail and putting my hair up in one pony and calling it quits. 

And the finished look:

Pretty even, out of my face, pretty comfortable to wear. The only "bad" I have to say is I spent so long messing with it trying to get it to cooperate and do what I wanted it to do that it was super frizzy.

That frizz 'tho! 

I really wanted to go with a sleeker look more polished. 

Here are the finished side and front shots: 

A little lumpy, but after literal hours of fighting with it, I was just done. 

on a scale of 1-10 for easiness: 3

on a scale of 1-10 for "fun"; 5 

on a scale of 1-10 for durability*: 8 

over all like of the hair do: 6

Average: 5.5

On Durability: Once I got my hair up where I wanted it, it stayed. No falling or frumping. It was there and it wasn't moving. 

a note on the morning after: I had the bright idea to sleep in it, and I don't know what possessed me to this. I pulled my hair down. It got so tangled in the bands I had to break two of them to get it out of my hair. I brushed out the tease with relative ease. but the twists in back made me want to scream they were so tangled. I wasn't planning on washing my hair this morning but I had to it was just so crazy. It grew three sizes wide!!! Since I washed my hair I am changing my style for today but it is a fun one and ya'll will like it!
