My Hair | A French Braid and Another Updo

5.9.14

Don't be deceived, those bobby pins can be a sure cause of mind numbing headache.
A couple of hours after my super, duper, Janelle Monae inspired pompadour, the headache began. By the close of work that day I had taken out about half of the pins holding the rolls at the back. So I tried something else.
First, you have to understand that my scalp is very sensitive and the slightest tension in it causes me a headache. I have taken a razor to cut the start point of cornrows before because they began at the same point and i ABSOLUTELY couldn't take it anymore. I took down the pompadour that night.

But I succumbed to all the compliments I got that day and tried to do the pompadour in another way. This time, with less tension. A french braid sufficed. I did a french braid up to three quarters of my hair, and loosely tucked in the rest of the hair at the crown of my head. This is what it looked like
