My Yarn Braid Pictures!

So, a few months or so ago I stumbled across a video about this hair style called yarn braids. Prior to that, I had no clue what yarn braids even were lol. Basically, they are braids that look like dread locs. They are temporary though, and you can wash them like you would your hair. Yarn braids are also commonly referred to as "Genie Locs" as well. I've been thinking for a while now, that it would be nice to try some longggg and thick "Janet Jacksonesque" box braids. So... I finally gave in and made the commitment via yarn braids. It took me 17 hours to braid my hair. I spent 8 hours one night doing the top half, and 9 the next night doing the back half. I wanted to try some color as well, so I decided to add a bold pop of blue in the back. I was inspired by fellow Youtuber "shewillbe" to try this style. I love it! I love the look it gives and the fact that I am trying something new. Most of all, I am proud that I did it myself! I have never braided my hair before, and never knew I could do this on my own. But thanks to Youtube tutorials, anything is possible.  I will be posting more blogs and videos soon with details on how I actually braided my hair, so stay tuned for that. For now, please just enjoy my slide show of lovely pictures showing off my great work. Toodles!

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!
