New Year New Hair: Marley Hair aka Crochet Braids Friday 09 January, 2015
Happy New Years Everyone! How is your 2015?!
Mine so far is going well. I really don’t do resolutions anymore – instead I decided to just switch up my hairstyle. I was wearing curly extensions believe it or not for three months, and decided I wanted to continue with another natural hair protective style. The winter and natural curly hair can be a bit much. I am really a wash & go kind of girl, but with the colder and unpredictable weather in Atlanta, doing mt hair is a haute mess. Its so brittle and seems like I can’t get enough moisture on my hair I just get fed up with it. So I am giving my hair an additional break with this new fun hairstyle!
For the first time I tried this option called Crochet Braids with Marley Hair. Its so big, wild and very textured! I love it so much, because as wild and thick as my normal hair usually is – this is hair has even more to work with. I promise you my hair is not this textured and I couldn’t get it to this textured if I tried. I love being natural and the fun part about being natural or just playing in hair period are the options! I can switch it up and make different styles and even choose different colors. I decided I am no longer coloring my hair, so it was fun adding this color blocking pattern to my style. That was totally an accident, my hair stylist just decided to make on side black and the other side brownish/blonde and it works! It’s different and most importantly – this hair is very affordable! I spend a total of $22 on all the hair on my head ($4.99 at my local beauty supply store) so 2 packs of black hair // 2 packs of blond/brown hair. I just really like this hair and best part…I dont have to touch my real hair!!!For the new year, I also bought myself some new camera eequipmentwith lights and a backdrop for better picture quality on this blog! So I look forward to having more fun mini photo shoots and product reviews! I feel its going to be an amazing year…and it just started! I am happy to start the new year with some new hair…hey sometimes that’s all you need to put a pep in your spirit! It worked for me (along with some bold lips)!

I got some photography equipment for Christmas. I still haven’t set it up. Ugh. I also need to figure out my timer and remote. I haven’t used that either. I am loving your hair. You always look so cute!
I am embarrassed to say I have not jump started my New Year yet. I have a lot of weight to lose and I am a bit overwhelmed. I am totally feeling your hair!
I love this hair! It’s beautiful and you look gorgeous. The two color tones are super cool. I too stopped coloring my hair, and it’s hard growing out my hair, but it’s going to help keep it healthy.
I chopped off over 13 inches and donated to women with cancer, the next thing I want to do for the new year is color, I have never colored my hair and want to try something new for the new year! I have the camera, now I need to set up my backdrop too! 🙂
You look fabulous! Love the color contrast (in a way, reminds me of the lightening that I’m doing to my hair – except it’s a 1-year gradual process… yours is more versatile!) and the texture. So fun~ <3 Happy new years!
Thank you for doing that! I donate mine every 18-24 months. I have been doing it for about 8 years now. It’s not quite long enough yet for another cut, but almost.
