STYLE ALERT: Flatiron Flow

I very rarely flatiron my hair…Probably not even a good 10 times in all of my life. This holiday season though, I got the urge to straighten it for whatever reason and I was quite happy with the results. I would probably do it more often if it weren't so much maintenance and lasted longer. 

Style Alert: Side Bun

I started the month out talking about a very convenient, quick, and easy style: The Bun. So I wanted to close out the month with an equally convenient, quick and easy style that gives a slight variation to the former post…the SIDE bun!

Style Alert: The Bun

Probably my most frequented hairstyle is the bun. It is a quick, simple, and cute style and perfect for those hot summer days when the last thing I want is 36 inches of hair heating my back and neck! I pair the bun with a variety of styles on the front, unlocked part of my hair from one and two strand twists to flat twists and braids. 

Style Alert: Roll, Wrap, & Tuck

(protective style good for dreadlocks; box braids; havana/senegalese/marley etc twists; BS/MB length and longer)

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

* styling gel
* grease
* comb
* spray water bottle
* small brush (optional)
* 3-5 hair ties/elastic bands
* 1 bobby pin (use more at your discretion)

HOW TO:

STYLE ALERT: Ponytail

A couple weeks ago I posted, STYLE ALERT: Pigtails to give a quick and easy style that worked for different occasions. This week's follow-up to that is the ponytail.

Style Alert: FoHawk

So last week's post was basically just an advertisement for my show celebrating the one year anniversary of my debut album, "Love, Loss, Lies", haha, so I wanted to give another style update/tutorial this week.

I was deciding between a couple options for how I wanted to wear my hair for the concert and finally went with a fohawk look. Here's how to achieve the look!

STYLE ALERT: Pigtails

A simple to achieve, cute, and quick hairdo is PIGTAILS :) 

I really like this "blast to the past" style and it can be dressed up, funky, or cutesy… Here's an example from an interview I did wearing some funky pigtails with a twist: I used fishtail braid technique instead of a regular 3 strand plait.
