What Is REAL? What Is REAL Now? Am I Still? Am I Here Now? If I'm Still, Will I Feel Now??...

After braids questions the second most common thing people e-mail me about is my REAL hair, i'm not sure what's so interesting about it and i've posted pics with it before but i'm gonna quickly address the main questions in this post.

I took my braids out this week so that I could rest my hair and rebraid it. I pin it inwards for styling but you can get the general idea of what it's like from these pics Sam snapped the other day...



  • Shirt- H&M
  • Necklace- Forever 21
  • Jeans- Bershka
  • Shoes- Primark


  • As you can see my natural texture has grown out a fair bit but I still have relaxed bits haunting me for an inch or 2 at the ends.

  • I don't take a great deal of interest in hair type and categories etc but from what i've seen over the years on the internet and in magazines my hair is probably best described as a combination of  4a and 4b. It is combed out in the pics though so you can't see the curl pattern.

  • When straight the longest part of my hair is now over 6 inches long 

  • In terms of protecting hair when sleeping I have pretty much the same routine as when my hair is in braids- P.M. night time oil and a satin cap, only difference is I also plait my hair before putting the cap on to minimise knotting and breakage during the night.

For those of you who have asked questions i've addressed I hope this is helpful, if anyone else has anything to ask about my reallllll hair just leave it as a comment or e-mail me and I will add it to this post just below!!

Additional Q's


  • Both sides of my head are shaved and about an inch of the back

If you're more interested in braids questions this post addresses all that! Off to work now. Boooooo.


Toodles to you bitches xx

Off With Your Head, Dance Till You're Dead...

I've been really crap with this blog business recently, keep doing these evening shifts at work and when I get home I just want to lie down and never get up. During this process i've been missing a lot of my favourite blogs but i've vowed to change that and will start sifting through you all tomorrow so don't give up on leaving your blog links!!!


Anyway, after a short rest from braids I was getting ready to start braiding my hair up again, just as I was about to open the first bag of hair it occurred to me that some of you will be curious to know what my real hair is looking like right now, another chapter of my 'Hairytale' as Lasophia put it, ha!


So here it is, my 50% frohawk...
Forgot about top...

...then remembered 'modesty' and whipped one on


If I can repeat this rate of growth next year i'll be so happy!!

And for those of you who keep asking me what hair I use to do my braids, even though i've told you guys a million times :p here it is...



Go buy some and get braiding!!!
Toodles to you bitches xx
