Yarn Braid FAQ and Details

A few weeks ago, I blogged about my yarn braids. Well, I finally made a video with FAQ and details about the process, and how I maintain my braids. I will be filming several videos with more detailed info on the braids in the future. But for now, here is an overall video on my yarn braiding experience. Click here to see the video...Enjoy!

My First Half Wig: "Kelly" by New Born Free

Hello heart breakers! First, let me start by saying I missed you guys! I have been gone for a while, but I am back with a review! This is my first time ever trying a half wig, so I am super excited. I have been wearing my natural hair out in wash and goes all winter(even though it is cold). This means I leave the house with wet hair every morning. I decided to give my hair a break and try something new. I wanted to try a half wig because I wanted the option of wearing some of my own hair out and giving my hairline a break. So....I went on a search for the perfect kinky/curly lace wig and decided to go with "Kelly" from New Born Free. She was sent to me by divatress.com. She is sooooo fierce! I have been getting tons of compliments too. Overall, I am happy with my choice, and I think "Kelly" might become a fav of mine. I could go on, but I think you should just watch my video review instead. Click here to watch my Youtube review of  "Kelly." And of  course, here are a few pics. Toodles!

My Star Spangled Banner Themed Nails

Hello heartbreakers! When it comes to holidays, I love to go all out, and this includes my fashion as well! The fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays, so I love celebrating it in every way possible. I decided to wear a Star Spangled Banner theme on my finger nails. I used the Konad Stamping Nail Art Kit to create the awesome design.

Don't Call it a Comeback...Box Braids

It was the hottest hair trend in the 90's. Brandy had me wanting to be down, and Janet(Ms. Jackson if ya' nasty) had everyone seeking poetic justice. I have spent the past few months drooling over box braids (and dreadlock extensions). And it seems like I'm not alone, in loving the braided up look! In fact, box braids are apparently on their way to making a major come back. Solange Knowles has recently been spotted rocking some super long box braids. And the braid queen herself...Brandy Norwood has even gone back to rocking her bodacious box braids. I think I might have to give in to temptation and head down to my local braid shop stat...lol. This look will probably be great for the spring or even summer. Something, cute and low maintenance would be perfect for those (like myself) who are currently transitioning to natural hair. Heck, even if you aren't transitioning, this would still be a great protective style. I'm so happy to see textured styles making a comeback! So here's my question for you guys. Do you think box braids are ready for a comeback? Would you be bold enough to rock them??

Here are some fierce box braid wearers...

The queen of braids...Brandy

-Part of me wonders if it is a lacefront. There seems to be some glue residue on her hairline. Hmmm...either way, I LOVE IT!










Solange Knolwes:

-She really seems to be coming into her own lately. I think hers might be a tad to lengthy for me, but other than that...she looks fab. I dig her messy edges!






Jada Pinket Smith:

-She rocks her box braids sleek one day and funky the next....LOVE IT!









Willow Smith:

-Little Willow's box braid "whippage" is inspiring a new generation!







Rutina Wesley, star of HBO's True Blood:

-Her are a little closer to micros in size, but they are sooo fierce!
