Get Ready With Me – Louis Vuitton Exhibition

I recently met a woman who’s grandmother had just passed away. When she went through her grandmothers things, she found piles of clothes with tags still on and boxes of special china and silverware that had never been used. She said her grandmother was always waiting for a special occasion. Her story made me sad, but it also made me think.

Still Working a 9 to 5 Job?

I remember feeling a little bit ashamed that I’m not already a full time actress. I’ve felt like this for years, especially living in Los Angeles where the facade of living a glamorous life is amplified. I have a part time job, and though it’s not always how I’d like to spend my time, I’ve grown to relax into the process of my acting journey.

Post Pregnancy Hair Struggle

Ya’ll it’s been a JOURNEY loving my hair. I’ve been relaxed, natural, texturized, and back to natural. Today I wouldn’t trade my texture of hair for anyone else’s. I’m proud of it and I love it. Detangling: Wetting, Combing, applying product, and twisting. They are normal everyday ordinary things that most people do on a daily basis. The key for me was a shift in emotion and mindset.

4C Top Knot Bun WITHOUT The Sock

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdRDS439LXUTo create this top knot bun, it’s best to begin with dry, slightly stretched out hair. Styling my hair dry allows me to see more length in the finished hairstyle.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 Step 1 Detangle hair as much as you can without breakage.

The Fluffiest Twistout Tutorial on Type 4 Hair

In this tutorial, not only am I teaching how to create a fluffy twistout on type 4 natural hair, I'm also teaching how to style an updo with bangs. I found a really cute headband that I wanted to create a tutorial around. The headband is sold out, but I recommend going to Forever 21 and finding their cheap hair accessories to spruce up simple hairstyles.

Valentine’s Day Get Ready With Me (Short Film)

Valentine’s Day is approaching so I’ve decided to present a full “Get Ready With Me” short film taking your through my makeup, hair, and outfit for this special occasion. The makeup features soft pinks and the hair is a 4 c natural hair updo with clip in extensions. I don’t typically do makeup tutorials, but I thought it would be fun and interesting to do it in a way that told a story and revealed a little bit about myself. I hope my storytelling resonates with you and that you can take my ideas into a wonderful Valentine’s Day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srLI6BxMf8s…

My Second Big Chop

I did it! My 2nd big chop after 18 months transitioning from a texturizer. I have no regrets. I feel the most beautiful I have ever felt with my natural texture and I will continue to enjoy the multitude of things I can do with my hair. Weaves, wigs, and color are probably still on the horizon for me, but the most important thing is that I love my own hair. Yes, it will continue to drive me crazy the longer it gets when I need to detangle. Ugh! But it comes with the territory. I'm taking the good with…

How To Get an Defined Twistout on 4 C Hair

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGYJ3Kf9miIIn the video above, I've walked you through the whole process of achieving this flawless twist-out. However, in case you wanted a closer look, I've uploaded separate videos just for you below.The twist-out.  Many of us go YEARS without finding the product that will make the time we put into twisting our hair worth the while.  For example, I toil over my hair for, sometimes, hours of styling, but when I walk outside--POOF! All of my definition is lost, my hair shrinks and draws up, and it looks like I didn't put much effort into it at all. And sure, your…
