Hey! So... my little cousin shows up to my husband's birthday celebration with this... doo. and it caught me off guard, not because it wasn't dope, but because I always associate her with a very girly and sleek look, so seeing her with such an earthy style was a slight shock. I asked her all kinds of monkey questions about them... very much like when straight-haired ppl ask questions about dreads or course hair... I was all kinds of out of the loop. I hadn't even heard of these... "Marley Twists". But, since I had been contemplating getting dreads for a little while, I thought this is thee perfect way to experience that look without the decision being permanent. I mean, what if I twist my hair up, and I hate it? With these, I just untwist that shit and pretend I never did it. ha!
After deciding that I must try this style... I couldn't find the hair in my bright ass blonde color! Granted, I only looked in 2 beauty supplies, but... well... ain't nobody got time for anymore than that! lol! Anyway, I went to the beauty supply owned by the creepiest men in the world, ran in, found my color, screamed out "TEN FUCKIN DOLLARS A PACK?!?!?!?!" u know... in my head, bought the damn hair and eventually installed my very own marley twists.... I ran into 2 problems: #1 my hair is not coarse at all so I couldn't use the common twist-in method. I had to start each one off by braiding and then transition into twists.. no big deal. #2 My hair is fine and trying to do these twists as big as my cousin did was NOT a good idea. I looked like Joy in "Friday".. u know, honda civic, bumpin luke and the 2live crew, booty shorts, crop top, "Foo!... Where Craig at?!" Joy?.... yea... Fuck that! so I had to take them all down, split each pre-divided section in to and make my parts smaller. Good times on the reg. After it was all said and done, I wasn't crazy about them, but they weren't so bad. I figured i'd give them a few days to marinate. It's been like 2 or 3 weeks now and I still don't know how much I really like them! hahahaha! But I get a shit-load of compliments on them and they are pretty convenient... plus i'm just too lazy to take them out. ha!
