Hi Ladies! I had the same dilemma. Ohhhh, the stress of what to do with this natural hair. I have 4a hair and have been natural for 2.5 years in April but was right at the 2 year mark when we got married at Iberostar Grand 10.26.13. I'm not an advocate of sew-ins just because I sweat in my head and hubby HATES weaves, knew I didn't want Senegalese Twists or braids and would never even think about wearing my hair loose in the humid Jamaica weather. After much contemplation and I decided on a DIY hairstyle. Having my hair, makeup and nails done were included in my wedding package however my sister and MOH is a MUA so she beat my face, and I didn't trust the resort beauty shop with this thick, natural hair. I just didn't. Maybe they would've done a great job but I could chance looking crazy on my special day. I also enjoy doing my own nails so I handled it. Youtube and the countless natural hair bloggers I watch gave me the inspiration. I knew I wanted a bun from hell-big, ostentatious and downright ridiculous- and I didn't have enough hair to get that accomplished. I bought a couple bags of cheap Kankelon and Marley hair and starting practicing my bun a month prior to the wedding. I liked the Marley bun but it wasn't glam enough for me. However, it received lots of play at work . I settled on the Kankelon bun (yeah with the $.99 or $1.99 a bag hair) and it turned out great. Im not going to lie the humidity got to these edges halfway through the night but that is to be expected. Go to Youtube and see if you find any inspiration. If you have any questions for me let me know. BTW....my hubby has locks and I re-twisted them the night before the wedding and our WC and Star Friend braided him up the day of. We even did TTD a couple days later and my bun was still holding strong after being fully submerged. I washed my hair after that and rocked a drawstring ponytail, twist out and wash n go for the remainder of our honeymoon. Happy Black History Month! Ciao! Keisha

Tesa, Thank you so much! I got the inspiration from this website and didnt even think about DIY'ing. We worked with a design/printer duo out of Illinois. They were referred to us by hubby's friend who uses them for promo work and other stuff.
