The Ultimate Twist, Pull & Pin Style

He luvs!

I wanted to share the video tutorial to my absolute favorite twist, pull & pin style variation that’s also one of my top 5 TJluvsbeingnatural styles ever!

Last week I was playing with twisted updos and created this!

  
Do you see this shape?! I absolutely adore this look.  It’s so unique but eye catching. Well, it was voted the #1 style last week and so I’m happy to share just how easy it was for me to get this look. Check it out here

Enjoy!

Twister

Hi beauties

Today I’ve got a video tutorial for a unique updo from last week. 

 

The circular shape and funnel feel of this look reminded me a lot of a twister. I just love the way it came out. This style was voted the #1 look of the week on Instagram last week.

Structured Hair

Hi luvs!

I absolutely adore the look of structured hairstyles. They’re so clean and sleek. Last week I decided to rock a structured style of my own with this mega French roll.

  
This is just one of many structured styles of mine but a lot of them tend to be French rolls. Although they may seem limited in versatility there are tons of ways to wear them. Check out more on the versatility of French rolls here.

As for this look. Love, love it!

  

Honey Blonde

Sooo…for the past couple of weeks I’ve been rocking a new color on my undercut. Staying faithful to the brand and line that has treated my hair well I decided to go with the Creme of Nature Shine in cColor line. As for color I thought it would be nice to truly embrace the season of fall by adding a lighter color to contrast with the red and darker hues in my hair. My selection, this beautiful honey blonde.

The application was easy and the result has been everything!  To see a video on the application process click here.
  

I will most definitely re-up on this color through fall.

Bold In Blue

Hi luvs!

Today I wanted to share the key deets on this look from last week. I was going for something really dark, crisp and dramatic.

  

There are a few products that helped me accomplish this. First is my go to 2nd Edition 120 color BH Cosmetics eyeshadow pallet. I used the navy and black shadow for my eyes and on the lips is this NYX Wicked lippie in the color Sinful

   
 
I absolutely love this color! It’s so bold but beautiful. I paired it with some big silver earrings that offered a really great contrast to the look. 

   
 
What’s your favorite bold lippie?

3 Day Wash & Go Series

Hi beauties!

It’s not often that you’ll see me wearing a wash and go, but when I do you know I have to make it different! Last weekend I decided I wanted to define my curls. I used the Krystal Eco Styler Gel for definition.

  

This worked ok but I prefer the Olive Oil Eco Styler. It’s a lot more flexible. At any rate the next three days looked like this.

Day 1 – Messy curls

You can’t go wrong with messy defined curls. After all, that’s pretty much the point of a wash and go. It’s not often that I love day 1 hair but this was life!

  
Day 2 – High pompadour

Pompadours are one of my absolute favorite styles, so of course I decided to take my day 2 wash and go and throw it up into a bold high pompadour and pair it with some beautiful purple hues.

   
 
Day 3 – Head wrapped 

A head wrap is a great way to take almost any style  and give it some flare. That’s exactly what I did with my day 3 wash and go hair. Although I don’t have a how to on tying head wraps my lovely @nellynelle19 has a great tutorial on tying headwraps that I took some tips from. You can check it out here

 

  
 I had a lot of fun with these looks. Which one do you like best?
