11 MONTH SILVER BLING THING

Below is one of the many styles I wear my locks, with one of those fabric elasticated Alice band with the option to fan it out. My favourite style below.....letting it all hang out....lol

Where the bling is at folks.....on the crown area

My temple (right side) although there is growth the hairs sprouting here are still quite fine. So with this in mind I have decided to maintain this style option until density improves.
I retightened last weekend and decided to take a snap shot of what it looked like.

Shocked is the word that came to mind. I had no idea things had changed at the back so drastically. Ah well sh*t happens.

See what I mean folks.......Jeeese!

11 months worth of Silver Bling Things!

THE ART OF A WEST AFRICAN HEAD TIE

In the picture above I simply removed the head tie to take a closer look.

This is the view from the back of the head tie.

This shot is the front view.
The follow pictures are of a different design. The above pictures are from the head tie I wore.



This is my daughter in the completed head tie.

First of all you take the stiff but pliable fabric and fold almost in half.

Starting at the front to the back.......

do a cross over and return to the front....

and then cross over at the front to ........

finally secure at the back ........

with a knot, then

work the fabric into a shape that takes your fancy...

for example work into a flower petal...

Then tuck in any loose ends.....

Here you have the finished article

daughter and mother.

NOTE
Typically head ties are worn to complete the look to an African attire, not the worn with western closes like the pictures depict above. lol
