Hair Update- June 2011

Excuse the crazy face. Lol. Time for a hair update. I have been using Kinky Curly Curling Custard once a week and refresh my hair in the morning with a combination of Kinky Curly Gloss Pomade and Jane Carter's Nourish and Shine. My problem I have been facing is shedding; my hair never shed before, but it is summer so I have to pay attention to how my hair responds to the weather. I have to do my homework on that. Also, I have to make sure my hair is moisturized at night. I used to use oils but that wasn't working so next week I will use my Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and see if there's a difference....other than that....my hair has been growing since I chopped off the sides and most of the top. I have a wedding in September so I have to look for some ideas for hair pieces. Enough rambling for today. Be blessed.

New Haircut!!!!

It's very military inspired.

Short Hair, Don't Care!!!

"with short hair you begin to crave pearl necklaces, long earrings, and a variety of sunglasses. and you brush your teeth more often. short hair removes obvious femininity and replaces it with style. when it starts growing out a little and losing its style, you have to wear sunglasses until you can get it to the hairdresser. that's why you need a variety. short hair makes you aware of subtraction as style. you can no longer wear puffed sleeves or ruffles; the neat is suddenly preferable to the fussy. you eye the tweezers instead of the blusher. what else can you take away? you can't hide behind short hair... you may look a little androgynous, a little unfinished, a little bare... but your face is no longer a flat screen surrounded by a curtain: the world sees you in three dimensions."

Pics of The Haircut!!!

So it's been a little over a month since I BC (Big Chopped) my hair off. It's now blonde and starting to curl and coil everywhere. I have some pics (finally) of my hair before my recently haircut last Friday:


So I'm done being blonde. I have enjoyed it but with this crazy cold New York weather, I am not trying to get lifting my hair. From October to now I have lifted my hair 3 times!!! My hair is growing like crazy! I have been deep conditioning and treating it because I don't want damaged natural hair. So I'm going to........do an espresso or rich brown colour. I was tempted to do black but since my natural hair colour is in the sandy brown family that would be work that I don't need to do during the cold months, and also black colour always messes with my hair texture. I have no clue why.

Anyway, moving on. I have fell in love with this mens necklace that I purchased from Urban Outfitters. The line is called Waylaid and its a Ribcage! I love it! People ask me why I would buy it and my response is why not? The line has some awesome necklaces, I want to buy a couple more this winter. Well, that's all for now. Be blessed.

Emma Watson for Marie Claire US December 2010

I love this girl! I am actually upset that now that I barely have any hair, I am seeing all my fellow short hair girls on the covers of magazines. First, Ginnifer Goodwin on InStyle UK and now Emma. I love the styling from this shoot and wanted to post it:

Happy Birthday to ME!!

Ok, so I's officially 26 (12:08pm). I am so excited to see what this year will bring for me. I always remind myself of Jeremiah 29:11 when I feel like I'm at a low point. So, I have a new job and.......a new hairstyle. I have really, really cut my hair. I love it! It feels so liberating! It's golden blonde and so short I don't have to do anything but brush it...until it grows out, lol. It looks like Amber Rose cut but a warmer blonde. (I don't care what people say about her, I love a person who isn't afraid to take a chance with fashion). I posted a pic of her to give you an idea of the cut, I'll try to post pics of me soon. I'm not sure what I will do this weekend to celebrate but tonight I'm going to the 92nd Street Y with a couple of friends from Redeemer Artist Small Group. I haven't seen them in awhile so it will be cool to catch up. Also, I have some really great news but I can't tell you guys yet.....Soon. Until then, be blessed.

Headbands, Headband, Headbands!!

I am a headband addict! I admit it and I seek no desire to be cured from it. I love them! They are the best way to just spruce up an outfit or just change my mood. My favs by Jennifer Behr (I LUV HER!):
