I'm Finally Back!!!

Dear Readers,
I'm finally back home. I actually got back on the fourth but have been on a short vacation thingy with my parents and older siblings for the last week or so and have not been able to post anything earlier, even though I've been wanting to since the day I got back.
Alaska was awesome!!! I had a wonderful time. The time flew by so quickly. When it was over it was hard to believe that a month could go by so quick. :)  We went to so many places that they all get jumbled together in my head.  When I have more time I would love to put on pictures for you to look at. Right now I have to get to bed!     I will be back soon again, to give alot more detail and pictures on my trip, I hope. :)
  It's great to be back home.          God Bless,
                                                            Ashley ;)

The New Do!!!!

I got my hair done on Saturday at a Hiz and Herz Hair Salon.  It was really exciting. The woman that did my hair was a Christian and extremely helpful in giving instructions on how to take care of my hair. She and her daughter, who helped her out in the Salon, were kind, entertaining people.

Before she did the braiding she washed my hair with different kinds of moisturizing shampoos and conditioners because my hair was very dry and broken. After drying it, she cut off all the relaxed hair because it was all kinds of different lengths. Next she combed it and got the synthetic hair ready to put in. She then got some of the hair and braided it into my hair. It was very painful when she started the braid but as she got near the end of each one it wasn’t that bad. She had to do them tightly so they would stay in better.

While she was doing my hair we got to talking and my mom mentioned that I sang.  Farah, the stylist, asked me to sing a song for her;, so I sang Jesus Take the Wheel. 

After she got all the braiding done she divided all the braids and put them into three braids then she put them into a bun. She then made about four separate braids out of the leftover hair and wrapped them around the bun and put bobby and hair pins in to keep them in place. To prevent my hair from continuing to break off and to help it grow better I am to sleep with a night cap on.  I also need to wear a covering whenever I am getting a shower when I am not washing my hair.  She gave me a lot of other great tips that were very helpful. I was really amazed at how it was done and I love the style. I think it is pretty.
