Hairstyle Fails - Transition from Relaxed to Natural

I talk about the good and bad in my transition, but rarely do I show the ugly. What I'm talking about are my failed hairstyles. I have tried many styles while transitioning, but I typically post the ones that actually come out nice and not the ones that are busts. 

I decided to share a few of my #fails! 

Some of these actually made it out the house and to work(oh the horror!)..I'm sure you will be able to tell which ones by the background. 



I was trying to do a high puff, but it turned  into a ponytail and  because my new-growth shrinks up so much..it turned into a teeny-weeny ponytail. I was 41 weeks post relaxer hair 



I was about 20 weeks post relaxer here and I wanted to try something funky. Lo and behold it turned out  funny looking. haha. My skin was looking horrific as well. :-O

This is a braid-n-curl done with only 5 braids. I was being extremely lazy and knew there wouldn't be much definition. I also knew with less braids, the more shrinkage I would have. Not to mention it was muggy outside and it dropped every curl I had. I was 42 weeks post here. 

This is so the 80's.  LOL. I wanted to try a side puff and it did not come out how I pictured it would. I was 36 weeks post.  

This is a bun, but because my hair is a little thick..it poofed up and I couldn't  get that slicked back look. #ohwell I was 42 weeks post here. 

So..here you have it. It's not all loli-pops and roses over here. lol..I don't even think that's a real saying.
