I'd been rocking a bob of several variations, for a while and wanted a longer style that was feminine and accentuated my facial features. I've always LOVED side fringes, but have always struggled to find a good-enough hairdresser to get it JUST right. So who better than me? I'm growing my health-risked natural hair underneath, and wanted to still keep it in a protective style, and after MONTHS of Lolli from LolliHearts selling me the pros of 'invisible parting', I decided to give it a go.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with this technique, you basically braid your entire hair in the pattern of your parting, with no leave-outs. Then you sew in 4/5ths of your weave leaving about an inch in front, where you will either sew/glue in tracks, horizontally towards your face. If that made no sense to you whatsoever? Then you're probably sailing in the same boat as my hairdresser, and I will tell you exactly what I told her (or showed her, after instructing her to take out the mess she had sewn on my head...yeah! I'm a difficult client, get over it)...WATCH YOUTUBE!
I left her with a HUGE smile on my face, and went home to curl the hair into a wavy finish, and trim a side-sweep-fringe for myself. I LOVED this hair...it was full, dark and wispy. The perfect combination. What do you darls think? And are any of you invisible-part addicts? LOL
Onyxsta says...BLEURGH!! Sweep the fringe with a hair slide, you still can't spot the tracks on an invisible side. Xisses
I actually just had this done. My hairdresser is a pro at it. He even convinced me to do. I found the tracks we're pulling off though after a few weeks! Rock it and Love it! That's all I can say!

Thanks darls xx
ReplyDelete@Promise, yeah Lolli warned me about that but my tracks only came off when I washed my hair, and that was to be expected. I loved it until the day I took it off and it got nappy as hell LOL
Girl... I had the invisible side part a year ago but 1) it only lasted me 2weeks. $90 for two weeks? I said never again and 2) I didnt realize you couldnt wash the hair! I tried to give my head a nice little scrub and the center piece came falling out.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had/have better luck! This seems more practical for folks like yourself who know how to do and maintain hair
