SCARVES: Fashion Favorite

I have been trying to successfully tie a scarf on my head but could never get it looking right. Finally Moptop Maven showed me how to do it. I posted a picture of my success on twitter about 2 weeks ago. I also spotted June Ambrose wearing decorative head scarves during NYFW. I love how everyone is getting into these scarves now, and June Ambrose fabulously executed the look. Here are a few of my favorite head scarf looks.

And me!!!

Beauty Bits!

Hello here is another video about some of the beauty products I've been using lately. I give my honest review on all of them, so hopefully it helps you out. The camera quality is so poor my apologies:( But I posted a picture below in the best light I could get. Hope you can see the colors. The foundation really makes my skin alive. Hope you enjoy. Peace!

Finally!!!!! Jazmine Sullivan: Holding you Down

I love Jazmine Sullivan and since her last album I have been youtubing practically all of her performences to get my Jazmine fix! Her new single Holding you Down is Ahhhmazing, and her video is so cute. I love how she looks like someone I would hang out with, I just love this girl. Here is the video below.
BTW her lightning bolt earrings are so cute, almost makes me wanna pierce my ears.

Solange in Pictures

Good Evening everyone! For awhile I have admired Solange Knowles style. Ever since she shaved her head, she just blossomed. For Solange I feel the weaves were a distraction from her style. Now her face pops, her clothes pop and she glows. Here are a few of my favorites of her pre and post Big Chop.

Beautiful Hair!!!

Good Afternoon everyone! I hope everyone is having a beautiful day:) Along with my Beauty Bits segement, I decided to start taking pictures of the hairstyles and looks I acheive and create somewhat of a lookbook for you all. Romeka is pictured below and is a good friend of mine who has never had a relaxer and loves to wear her hair natural. She decided to give her hair a rest and get a weave. Here are some pictures of her before middle and after stages.

Braided Down a Flat Foundation

Viola!!!

 The tools that are needed to upkeep this look are a paddle brush (like the one I mentioned in Beauty Bits from Forever 21), and Motions Sheen Spray. I usually never reccomend putting products in weaves because it makes the hair look dirty and smells after a while. However Motions Sheen Spray is very weightless, and creates instant shine without weighing the hair down. Less is more when considering how much product to put in your weave. I apologize for the clarity of the pictures, but you will still get the gist. Below is a video from Romeka giving her review on her new fabulous do!

                                          

Walk With the Family. Location: South Germantown

Yesterday my father, my older sister, and myself took a Sabbath stroll through South Germantown. The weather was perfect and so was the afternoon. I took some pictures, but of course my phone couldn't pick up all the beauty.

Wet Twist Out with Eco Styler- Olive Oil

I am doing my twist out this time with new Eco-Styler with Olive Oil. This product is very nice and it gives a strong hold with a soft feel. I am going to be using this product in the future and highly recommend it. I rubbed Kera Care Glossifier on my fingertips as I was twisting and taking the twists out. This was to promote shine.

Twists Complete (about 18-20)

Place Silk Bonnet on to sleep. Sitting under a hooded dryer for an hour is also an option if you want to go out the same day.

It was a little damp and increased in volume throughout the day

I applied the gel on my edges as well. Held so well without feeling hard!

I wore this hairstyle for about 3 days. At night I tucked my hair inside my silk bonnet and fluffed it out in the morning.
