I'm Closing In.....

So I am finally taking the plunge and trying a closure. For those who are not familiar with a closure, it is a hairpiece that is sewn where your leave out would normally be, it closes off a full weave so to speak. I have been very hesitant to try one because of the concern that it wouldn't look realistic. Well I decided to take the plunge and just do it, who better to be a tester for my own product than myself....right? Since I have been wearing a straight weave, I have had to flatiron my hair and being that I am going 100% natural through weaving, I don't want my natural curl pattern to be destroyed by the constant heat I am subjecting it to. So stay tuned, I should have a new style, new closure and new look in about a week and half or so. Oh and did I forget to say a new color? Since I don't have to worry about damaging my own hair with hair color (since none will be left out) I am going to try something new. I want to go as light as I can go being a dark skin brown girl without looking C-R-A-Z-Y. What colors do you suggest? Here are a few of my fave brown girls doing color right (IMO).
