I’m all about a new edge, something that takes little to no time to do,  and I can be a show stopper with my protective style.  Of course we all know too well how the fellas can be, saying women wear to much weave and blah blah.  I noticed when rocking my Havana twist hairstyle though I get the second look from the men, because it looks like it could actually be my natural hair because of the texture of the hair and designs Havana twist gives off.  The style is a win-win across the border ladies, I know when I first saw the style it made me want to redo the style I had.  So glad that I did, and the stress of where I wear it, work or play it’s never an issue or concern anymore.
