Up-do

I bought this wonderful new clip at the beauty supply store. They came in a pack of 3 and were about a dollar or two. They start out round, however they do not retain their shape so after using it a couple of times it became really stretched out. I love it cause I can tighten it or loosen it to have a smaller or larger puff. It is flexible and glides through my hair.

Neat hair accessory.

It does not retain its shape.

I used a piece of ribbon for my updo decor.

This is new from Shea Moisture, it is similar to Kinky Curly below, however it is a bit cheaper and you get more.

Shea moisture left, kinky curly right; as you can see the consistency is similar, both are 100% natural.

I used this gel on the back and sides.
