Hi Beauties,
I wanted to share a DIY tutorial for a style that I did a couple of weeks back that I really loved. You guys know that I enjoy doing different faux styles, from my faux bob and faux knot to this new faux twisted bangs!
I was surprised at how pretty simple it was to achieve this look. It got a lot of attention and so I wanted to show you all the step by step tutorial on how you can achieve the same look. Click here to check it out.
XOXO,

Hi beauties!
Today I wanted to talk about 3 easy undercut styles that you can rock in a corporate environment. Now, I’ve personally worn a lot more out of the box styles to my corporate job but if you’re afraid to rock the boat or just aren’t ready to go too creative, here are a few styles you can add to your go to hairstyle arsenal.
1. Side Front flat twist – this style is very chic and conservative. It highlights just one side of the undercut and is a fairly easy and fit for a corporate workplace. Here are two different versions

2. Side Swept Mega French Roll/Twists – This is another chic and look that is more conservative for a undercut style. It also focuses on just one side of the undercut and is very sleek. Here are a couple different looks.

3. High Bun – Although this style does boast the entire undercut it is incredibly sleek and clean.
That’s it! Three easy go to undercut styles you can use if you work in corporate. I hope this was helpful!

Twists or twists outs? That’s the question for today! The answer isn’t quite that simple however. Let’s talk about the pros and cons of each.
Pros of Twists
1. I love the look – Generally speaking I love the way twists lookM on me.
2. They’re protective and give my hair a break – Lets face it, sometimes even I get tired of styling my hair. This is a great way to give it a break and its a great protective style! Twists are very low maintenance not requiring much at all.
3. They’re still versatile – I still have the luxury of being able to style twists which helps me not to get bored
Cons of Twists
1. Limited styling capability – Although I’m able to get a little creative with styling my twists I am definitely limited. I can’t do nearly as many creative styles as I can with a twist out.
2. I miss my texture – After about a week or so of wearing twists I very genuinely start missing my texture. I crave my chunky twisted updos
Pros of twist outs
1. Definition – I do enjoy curl defining styles every once in a while and this is probably the easiest way for me to achieve some great curl definition.
2. Unlimited styling capability – There is no end to styling options when working with a twist out
3. Fairly protective – although they don’t offer the same level of protectiveness or low maintenance as twists, twist out updos are still fairly protective.
Cons of twist outs
1. Longer to style – I don’t often care to wear my twist outs out. 90% of the time I style them in updos which believe it or not it always takes me a bit longer to style. I fight against the definition to get the shapes I want which means I end up using a ton of bobby pins.
So….as for preference, I honestly can’t chose! I love both of these styles. It really just depends on what I’m in the mood for. You’ll definitely continue to see me rock twists and twist outs.
What’s your preference?
Hey lovelies!

Hello beauties!
Probably one of my favorite all time buns and what I considered to be my go-to bun before I layered my hair is this super easy, edgy but chic bun hawk.
Bun hawk on wet hair
Bun hawk on semi-stretched hair
Bun hawk on semi-stretched hair
Bun hawk on completely stretched hair
The technique to get the look never changes but depending on the texture of your hair (wet, semi-dry/stretched or completely stretched) it can come out a little differently like you see above.
Before I started challenging myself to do something different every single day, this was an easy way to get a protective, creative yet simple style, especially if I was really short on time.
