The Evolution of a Crown
Hi luvs!
It’s not often that you’ll see me wearing curl defining styles. But when I do I’m always trying to find a way to take them from ordinary to extraordinary. Last week I filmed the evolution of this beautiful crown. Watch as I style my second day twist and curl out 3 different ways before I end up with this style I adored most. Check out the video here.
Foil Curls
Good morning luvs!
Big beautiful curls, who doesn’t love them?! When I learned about a technique using aluminum foil to achieve them, I had to give it a try. Here are my results
I fell in love with these curls. They’re super easy and quick to achieve, and the best thing is the foil serves as a barrier against the heat.

Teyonah Parris Inspired Vintage Look
Hi luvs!
I’d never attempted to re-create a look before but when I saw the picture below of Teyonah Parris’ beautiful vintage look for the African American Film Critics Gala in January, I thought this was one I definitely wanted to give a try.
Styled by the extremely talented Felicia Leatherwood, who I truly admire, I started thinking about how I could even remotely do this style justice. Well last week I went in on both the hair and makeup and here is how it turned out
Not bad right!? I was pretty pleased so you can only imagine my excitement when both Felicia Leatherwood AND Teyonah Parris said they also adored my finished product😝😝😝
Absolutely made my week! Want to see that step by step on how I got this entire look (hair & makeup)? Just click here.

Vintage Wand Curl Style
Good morning luvs!
Today I’ve got the how-to on a classic style. I used my new wand curler by One ‘N Only to achieve some super soft but textured curls, and styled them into this vintage updo.
I adored this looks and was really happy with results especially considering that this was my first time using a wand curler.

Twist & Curl – DIY Tutorial
Morning luvs!
Today I’ve got the deets on a curl defining style. I know, its a bit different for me right? I typically focus on unique updos but I recently did a curly hair series on my social networks for Valentine’s Day and one of those styles was this super cute and edgy twist and curl.
I wore these beautiful defined curls for three days although they could have lasted much longer. I loved them more and more each day.

Mini Twist Bantu Knot Out
Hi beauties!
Last week I decided to give my hair a break by installing mini twists. This is probably my go to protective style. They are super cute but still allow for some creative styling. In an effort to add some curls and make this style a little more fun I did a bantu knot out. LOVED the results
