Yarn Wraps

YARN WRAPS:
Ive always loved dreads. Thought about actually doing it with my own hair before but its too much of a permanent thing. I love changing my hair a lot so thats another reason why i decided not to. Well at least not right now.

The next best thing to dreads are these yarn wraps so i decided to try it. My best friend spent 10 hours doing it all from beginning to end.

REASONS AND MAIN POINTS:
1.Cheap:I used about 2 big rolls. bought them at Walmart for $6 a roll
2.Protects hair: I have natural hair and the cold makes it dry and brittle so this was a great way to protect my hair.
3. It totally looks like dreads. I got comments everyday on my hair, i even fooled dread heads( not that it was my goal to fool them)
4. The older they got, the more natural they look.
5. Only negative thing: Yarn does suck out the moisture from your hair so you must make sure to moisturize it everyday. I simply spritzed my hair everyday with a mixture of water, coconut oil, and olive oil.
This hair style was inspired by Susy (@africancreature) herself. Check out her tutorial video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GR1I83Vqrk
