Growing Long Hair the Healthy Way
While I tend to spend all my time admiring beautiful long hair, and longing 4 length...I must admit lately its the medium length hairstyles that have been catching my eye! So many of my favorite stars seem to be going a bit shorter and I am LOVING it on all of them! The thing is, I never get the urge to cut MY hair, but I may be copping a wig or cutting a sew in weave to recreate one of these looks soon. Check these out: Kerry Washington … [Read more...]
After all the crushing I've been doing on Brandy's curly hair looks, I finally got my own kinky-curly steez! It's been a long-time coming, I was sent this hair from oWigs.com about 6 weeks ago, but it took me that long to make the wig and rebraid my hair in preparation for wearing this unit. First, check out my video showcasing the hair... httpv://youtu.be/XjSWawnUxhQ Okay, now for details on how I made my u-part wig. As I said in the … [Read more...]
I was visiting family over the weekend (this post is late) so my wash day was at their house. I love that so many of my friends and family have been taking my recommendations of hair practices and products, one because they have products that are hair friendly when I visit! So, I didn't have to pack an arsenal of stuff and basically followed my normal regimen: (1) Prepoo'd with heated EVCO (2) shampooed with sulfate free shampoo [Organix … [Read more...]
I’m so totally impressed with the amount of protective styling I’ve been doing lately! Weaves during November and December of last year, the protective styling challenge this year and the surprise of all surprises…I’m not (totally) losing my mind! On top of that, guess who I am inspired by for my summertime look? (Yes, I am already thinking about summer…ain’t nobody got time for these freezing temperatures!) Yaaaaasssss hunni, … [Read more...]
Remember I said I wouldn’t be going two weeks without washing my hair again? Well…see what had happened was…the water heater in my apartment broke last weekend! I was in the shower when all of a sudden it turned icy cold making my teeth chatter! So needless to say jumping in and out to wash my hair was out of the question. So I rocked a sloppy bun all week because I don’t know about you but once the window of time I have blocked … [Read more...]
For those who are unaware Miss Tracee Ellis Ross launched her own blogsite a few months ago along with a YouTube channel. After I posted my Goddess Braids Style inspiration, she posted on the same style and I was super psyched! Anyway, the other day she uploaded a vlog where she showed her amazing blown out hair and was as enthustastic over the bounce and swing as any of us would be - check it out … [Read more...]
Well, by now you know I am obsessed with love award shows and unlike last year I actually watched nearly all of the 2013 Grammys! I actually thought it was a decent show, no major sound issues and it encompassed many different genres of music quite well - although many twitter users complained about the lack of hip hop representation. I mean, there were collab performances from Wiz Khalifa, Jay-Z and LL Cool J hosted (not even mentioning the … [Read more...]
After posting my hair of the day a few weeks ago which was inspired by Tracee Ellis Ross, two of my good friends asked for tutorials. Although I know I'm not able to explain how to cornrow very well, I happily obliged and created a Goddess Braids Tutorial for you. httpv://youtu.be/BB94ras-o6w I know I've already explained how much I love this style, but lemme just say it again - I LOVE THIS STYLE! I am able to wear it for a few days without … [Read more...]
