Colors, Shapes And Hair Oh My!

I’ve been crazy busy all day but today’s outfit and hair have made it so much better! The way you dress can really have a positive affect on your day. Living proof right here!

Today I’ve got major color and shapes going on with one of my favorite shoulder cut out tops. And, my hair is in a high twisted bun. Easy and protective!

And on my lips is my favorite Milani lip color from the four I recently purchased, Flirty Fuchsia!

Rose Gold And Curls

Great morning!! Hubby surprised me with a beautiful rose gold and black watch which I am absolutely loving! Decided to sport it today along with a high curly ponytail and one of my new Milani lipsticks! This one is Flamingo Pose and it’s totally popping off my lips. It screams spring even on this rainy cool Florida day.

Straight Hair Problems

It’s been less than a week since I had my hair professionally highlighted and pressed but it’s official…I miss my curls!!

Typically straight hair is fun for me for about a week, then I tend to get bored. I’ve been trying to get a little creative with my straight hair but my stylist did such an incredible job on my press that my hair is too silky and straight to hold a style!

I started Tuesday with a nice side flat twist but by lunch it just refused to stay!

This whole plan of keeping my hair straight for two weeks is starting to go down hill. I’ll keep you guys posted! In the mean time here’s a look at my straight hair this week. Rolling with a simple low pony today.

Highlighted and Pressed!!

I finally did it! Last night I got my hair professionally highlighted and pressed!! The first time I’ve let anyone in my hair in 3 years! Needless to say I was extremely nervous. I entrusted my tresses to a young lady by the name of Toya Rucker and let me just say, she did an extraordinary job!

She started with a shampoo followed by a slight blowout and some time under the dryer. Next she applied a product by Redkin called Chromatic using the foil highlight method. It’s actually a clear formula that lifted the natural color of my hair 3 shades lighter. It was very cool!

Afterwards she washed and deep conditioned my hair. Following that she applied a color called Golden Apricot by Redkin to all of my hair and I spent about 20 minutes under the dryer. She washed and then it was on to to the blowout and press!

Before she started she applied a product called It’s a 10 Silk Express Miracle Silk Leave-in. You guys I have never felt my natural hair so straight and light! I was in awe! After the initial amazement came the unfortunate part…the trim. My hair needed a trim fairly bad and although she was delicate I pretty much threw my growth challenge out the window. On the upside my hair is healthier!

So…all in all I am over the moon with the results! Here are some pics of the details.
