Teyonah Parris Inspired Vintage Look

8 Comments

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

Leave a comment

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

2 Comments

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
