Chocolate Brides: Locs, braids, etc.

Hello Beautiful Brides!

 

I've seen a few posts here and there so I thought I'd start a new thread for the natural haired women in my midst, especially those with locs or braids.  Any ideas or suggestions?

 

I've been growing my locs for about 4 years and maintain them myself.  For the special day, I want a great updo but have not decided on a style yet.  What have you ladies done/do you have planned?

I'm natural as well and I've been wondering what would be the prettiest style for me. I just cut my hair really short a month before my FI proposed. Now I'm wondering if I should have done that. I have until October so I think I will be wearing my hair in tiny twists as a low maintenance protective style so it can grow. As long as I keep it healthy and moisturized I should gain 4 inches by then.

I know they do hair in the DR but I'm not sure how well they do natural hair. I try to avoid heat. But I'm fine with heat to style my hair for the wedding. I just don't want excessive heat on my hair. I say just make sure you have plenty of conditioner and oil with you for the trip so you can keep your hair protected while you enjoy the beach.

Have any of you tried a product called Kinky Curly?? Google it....it may be an option for you.

My other suggestions would be:

  • straw set
  • cane row braids the night before wedding into a side part style. Undo the day of and leave it crinkly and put a beautiful big funky flower on one side
  • Twists (then you can do a half up/down style depending on length)
  • slick it back into a ponytail if its long enough and do a side low bun (you can even buy amazing bun pieces to put in)
  • high bun. Make sure the sides are well slicked tho

Gosh...I could talk hair all day. Lol!
