True Life: I Locing My Hair.

True Life: I Locing My Hair.

I haven’t combed my hair in 81 days. In a way it’s the most freeing thing I guess you can save I’ve “never” done? You see this past summer I decided I had enough with my hair. I had enough with the washes and deep conditions. I had enough with the detangling, twisting and styling, and I had enough of trying to find the perfect products, and when I did, it was hoping the company wouldn’t change the formula. I decided to reclaim my time. I finally pulled the trigger on locing my hair. I’ve wanted to loc my hair…

Finding a Natural Hair Protective Style for the Summer

Finding a Natural Hair Protective Style for the Summer

**This post is sponsored by Head & Shoulders and SheKnows Media, all opinions are my own.** It’s crazy how time flies! My hair finally has some length to it, and this is with a 1inch trim to remove some of my not so happy ends. This time last year I was begging my hair stylist to tell me that my hair was long enough to be braided back so that I could wear a custom lace unit (I cringe every time someone calls it a wig) while my hair continued to grow out of that ugly, awkward phase.

Who knew a style as simple as this would turn into my go to hairstyle for evenings out during the summer? Since May, I’ve been wearing my hair braided down.

I wore this look for the Fourth of July and switched up the head wrap to wear it to an event last Thursday.  I’ve purchased all of my head wraps from small online shops, and of late…

I’m A Card Carrying HeadWrap Lover. Plus Where to Buy!

I’m still in love with my custom made hair unit, but for the past month, I’ve been rocking a headwrap almost daily. I didn’t jump on the headwrap wagon until this year. Before I wore them every now and again, but they were never a staple head accessory. Now that I’m just keeping my hair braided as a grow out my tapered cut they’ve just become part of my everyday outfit. I typically head over to Youtube to learn how to do different types of styles, and all I can say is practice practice practice. Some styles I can do…

The Weekend Calls for Runway Curls – Custom Crochet Wig

The Weekend Calls for Runway Curls – Custom Crochet Wig

[ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”] One of my favorite things to do is to go to work with a new hairstyle and watch all the confused looks I get from co-workers who don’t understand that to women of color hair is seen more so as an accessory rather than well just something that grows out of our heads. Some know what the deal is and others just don’t seem to catch on. My boss has stopped wondering and actually jokes that about he can never remember if my hair is the same from week to week. Lately, I’ve been wearing…
