Black Women Gone Blonde!

Hello heart breakers! If you are familiar with my Youtube channel, then you've probably heard me discuss coloring my hair. I've never dyed my hair before, and I have been looking into it for a few years. In fact, one of the main reasons I went natural was so I could experiment with color as safely as possible.My relaxed hair was healthy, but I didn't want to risk having two chemicals in my hair at once. I've heard many horror stories about coloring while relaxed. And the women in my family always suffered from a setback if they added color to their healthy relaxed hair. At any rate, I really want to take the plunge this summer and go some shade of light brown with blonde highlights. Possibly 4/27, or something closer to the freetress wigs that I wear in the color F33/32/240. Now, it is just a matter of finding someone to get the job done. Wish me luck guys! In the meantime, here are some pictures of me rocking blonde tones. I plan to stick to something more similar to the wig "Nari" below.

In this week's celeb makeover news Rihanna has been seen sporting a new do'. The Barbadian singer has been  known to change it up pretty often. This time she is rocking a blonde wig, or perhaps it is a full sew-in. Either way it looks like she is channeling Tina Turner and Heather Locklear back in the 80s. I think the 80s and 90s are back in style, but she is incorporating too many elements in this one look. She comes across as trashy and dumpster chic...minus the chic.

The shorts are in style again, and can look decent depending on how you wear them. Thigh high "hooker" boots are also all the rage these days. But I think they are a bit classier when paired with black skinny pants/jeans and a nice blouse. It looks a little more sexy and high class that way instead of coming off like a street walker. 

 

And lastly, there's the horrible blonde weave or wig. I love blonde hair on black women, and I think many of of us can pull it off because it contrasts with our skin and "pops" so to speak. However, she chose a horrible wig. It looks a bit ratty and trailer park-ish. I'm guessing this is what she was going for, but it is so unflattering. If I saw her walking down the street, I would definitely think she was a street walker. The look is so cheap and tacky! I feel like she is on her way to one of those 80s rock videos. You know, the ones with the women in daisy dukes and bikini tops dancing on the hood of a red corvette or something lol. Great, now I can't get "Pour Some Sugar on Me" out of my head. Personally, I would like to see Rihanna try wearing braids or dread locs. She could even wear them in red, blonde or some funky color that would suit her! I think that would look really nice on her and accentuate her island side. We haven't seen her island flavor in a while, so braids/locs would be refreshing. Plus, it would be a little different from what most pop stars are wearing right now. Other than Solange, most people are rocking a very cookie-cutter look. 

So, what do you think...Is Rihanna's new look hot or a hot mess?

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!

Meet My New Blonde Bob wig "Toby"

Holas mis amigas! I am back with a wig review for you guys! I have been hearing and seeing rave reviews about "Toby" from the Vanessa 5th Avenue Collection, so I decided to give her a try! I'm wearing her in the color V613, which is a platinum blonde frosted over an off black color. This was my first time wearing a short straight/bob style before, so I was super excited about it! The bold pop of color also lured me in as well. Overall...I would say I like this wig. I would definitely order it again! To see my detailed review, please watch my review video. In the video, I give a complete list of pros and cons on the wig and more! Plus you will also get a closer look at the wig in action! Click here to watch my review! Also, this wig was sent to me by samsbeauty.com, but my review of it is 100 % honest. Toby  is currently priced at $25.99 on their site. Click here to purchase her!  Also, here's a look at seven hot ways to rock  Miss Toby...

Look # 1...An exaggerated feathered swoop, and a part on the left side!

 

Look # 2...A normal swoop with the part on the left. The sideburns are tucked behind my ears for this look!

 

Look # 3... I added a cute little bow! Looks kind of emo right? :)

Look # 4:...Parted on the right side with a normal swoop. All sideburns are combed down!

Look # 5.... Add a beanie!

Look #6......I combed all of the blonde bangs over to the left side. This gives a dramatic two-toned effect. Very punk rock!

Look # 7...A headband added to the look above!

Your Big A** Afro Is in the Way!?

Big hair is fierce, fun, and sexy...but can it be an inconvenience to those around you in public?? This is one question that has stood out in my mind lately. I look forward to having a long/big afro one day(hopefully by the end of this year), and I have been thinking about how it will effect those around me. See the video below for a full explanation. Also, feel free to chime in with responses in the comment section of this post.
