BLEURGHair: The Bundles
Sunday 11 March 2012
So this is the style I was rocking in January, didn't last long...a total of 3 weeks and 5 days to be exact. So here's the back story. When in Nigeria, I had to buy hair (weave & extensions) for myself and my sister, and when I went to a great dealer (highly recommended), I caught sight of these gorgeous bundles. Now, I was never an advocate for 'virgin hair', but after calculating the amount of money I spend year in, year out, on store bought hair, I started to reason. I haggled the price down to the equivalent of £45 for 4 bundles of Indian Hair....BARGAIN!
After having the Invisible parting, i was hooked and wanted that to be my life! Having practically taught my hairdresser using youtube last time, i figured I couldn't go wrong on my own back, so I recruited the help of my sister, for the braid and set out to install the bundles.
Sadly, my sister's vision of the braid-pattern & how best it would work, clashed with mine, and the styling and weaving was another flop as I couldn't cut the weft (or the bundles would run risk of shedding). So I was left with a side-part that was practically a full-head weave. To make matters worse, in my rush to install the weave after my invisible parting was looking sheg'd, I didn't have time to dye the hair from its natural colour 4 (brown) to black. So here I was with an uber-curly brown mane on my head. I swear I didn't wanna leave my room, I felt like a Lioness! LOL Lolli & Tee can testify. So, no...to me, the bundles were a FAIL as I felt they totally didn't suit me.
After a fortnight, I washed it (BIG MISTAKE) and was unprepared for the mass-detaming sesh i was to endure! Thank GOD for YouTube! Resulted in using the John Frieda serum to tame the mess, and stuck them in bendy rollers I purchased from PoundLand and VOILA! All was well with the world...well, until I got sick of them and ripped them off in favour of full-head bangs, but I'm getting ahead of myself here. Coming soon ....

ReplyDeleteAwwwww thank you! I'm cheesing on an INSANE level!
ReplyDeleteFirstly i love your blog.
ReplyDeletesecondly £45(less than 15k) for 4bundles of brazillian ..*screams out* BARGAIIIN! but is the hair high quality though? i was told good virgin hair starts at 10k in nigeria. if this ones good i might need purchase some. same thing happend to me when i washed my current braz hair and no matter how much serum n conditioner i use the hair refuses to be tamed. dryness, frizz && no shine. its that peak and i spent £140.
Thirdly you're one gorg naija sista. xx
Thankyou sweetie! And yes....INSANE bargain! The hair quality wasn't all that though, but after I used the John Frieda serum on it, the texture improved! Also, you might like to try not shampooing it when washing, but using conditioner only, as shampoo dries it out. Definitely got my money's worth, and its saved for future use as its still in pretty good condition although i experienced some shedding in the latter weeks.
