Stretched Twisted Curly Hair
This is from last week when i defined my curls with going-natural herbal gel. I made this style last and stretched it out. At night when my hair is completly dry i put my hair in big twist. My hair is still soft to the touch. Moist and now have more body. Oh the things […]
Far-Fetched Changeable Hair Style

Chic Updo with a Sense of “Attitude”
Wearing a designer dress made by Rodney Alexander’s definitely makes me feel elegant. It was only natural for me to pair it with a chic updo and a sense of “attitude”.

Getting back to beauty without the beastliness
If you’re anything like me at all then you’ll find that when you’re making that transition to all natural hair (or even when you’ve been there a while) you want to switch things up a little and come out with a different look.When that feeling moves us, most of us turn to either braids or […]
The best thing about Good Hair
After so much hype, discussion and speculation about Good Hair, I was eager to go watch the movie and see it for myself. The youtube clips were fun to watch, the online discussions were pretty predictable and while the Oprah show showed all different opinions, the most controversial ones stayed in the back of […]
