Plotting My NYE Style!!
Hello everyone!! Soooo, New Year’s eve is around the corner! I usually don’t do much by way of style. I’m quite satisfied with my twist-out/puff/bun/repeat routine. Until I saw this…
*faints* YAAAASSS!! BGLHonline did a feature on Laila (pictured), and she showed this gorgeous twisted updo she wore! I knew when I saw it, that I NEEDED to try it. You know what they say, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”, so I started lurking… I mean, planning. Laila has a YouTube page, so I lurked there to see if she made a tutorial. She didn’t, but I found this video with more pictures of the style. Since there’s no tutorial, I just studied the pictures as much as I could. This will essentially be a ‘style experiment’ (I’ve never done an updo on my hair before), so I need to do my research. I’ll keep plotting on the logistics; parting, products to use, etc. and I’ll let you all know how it turns out! If things go well, I may even record it! Hopefully, I’ll be able to recreate this style, how amazing would that be? Stay tuned, D-day is Thursday!
I’ll definitely twitpic the finished product, so if you’re on Twitter, follow me @CurlRehab. To see the video of the process when I upload it, subscribe to TheCurlyChemist on YouTube!!

I know you’ll be able to pull that off!! You’re the research queen! Just to let you know, when you do conquer it, we should conquer my head next!!
teehee! Ok girl!
Nice…I’ve been contemplating doing a flat twist French roll style myself. I’m on mobile right now so I’m coming back for a closer look at this.
Yeah, I’m super excited! Only thing keeping me from trying it now is b/c I want it to be FRESH for the weekend. *sigh*
