Thanks ladies!

 

Janine, I got my sew in done in Atlanta before heading to Miami. The hair stylist/makeup artist is based out of Florida, "Beauty by Noel". He came to our hotel the morning of the wedding.

I'm hoping my plan works, I plan on getting a wash and set and relaxer before I leave. When I get to Jamaica, I plan on keeping it wrapped up as much as possible. I am bringing an arsenal with me of flat irons and bumpers. I am gonna let the stylist give me drop curls and pray they hold.... lol

Just had to change it up cuz my hair is curly/big/natural instead of bone straight like hers was in the pic.

 

So here's my first attempt: (more pix on my HAIR BLOG)

 

 

 

This awesome girl called WestIndianBeauty has a tutorial on how to do the style on straight hair:

THANK YOU!! I'm going to wash my hair and try again to make it look sleeker and more like the original alicia keys inspiration.

I'm hunting around for updos that will work with natural hair in the humidity.

Danyelle your natural hair is beautiful! You definitely dont need to ever relax your hair again. I havent had a relaxer in 5 years and I dont plan on getting one or allowing my daughter to get one.
