Something new!

Tried out a new protective style today. I think I like it. I love how my highlights offer so much dimension.

This simple style is just 3 ponytails with two loosely twisted sections per ponytail. The twisted sections in the first ponytail are pinned back to the left side. And for the second and third ponytails I pinned one twist up and the other down. Super simple!

For products I just use Cantu Shea Butter’s Curl Creme and Eco Styler gel for my edges. That’s it! What do you think?

A Rockstar Jacket & New Updo

Happy Friday!!

Today I paired more thrifted items from my ATL trip that I absolutely love! I found this great cobalt Rockstar jacket and mustard skirt from the Goodwill. The jacket was $7 and I think the skirt was $6. LOVE this combination! The subtle shine from the jacket is so awesome.

I’m also trying out a new twisted updo today. Styles like this are great because they allow for a lot of creativity yet they’re easy and protective!

A Twisted Bun & Purple Face Beat

Even in spring I can’t escape my love for dark lips! Here’s today’s hair and makeup. A twisted high bun with purple tones. I have Revlon’s VaVa Violet and Berry Haute mixed on my lips, my shadow is from one of my BH Cosmetics pallets and earrings are from the World Natural Hair Show I attended this weekend.

Work Fro Fun

I work in a corporate environment and because of that one of the most fun things for me to do with my hair is rock a nice big curly fro. My co-workers are so intrigued and amazed by it. It’s far from conventional but my big goal is to kill it every time. I think I managed to do it again.

Message: don’t be afraid to rock a fro at work. You are beautiful and so is your fro!
