FEVAH....Giving me Fevah

I have been very much on the fence about what is next for what is going on up top, yes the top of my head. This would be the second week wearing my natural hair and I love it, but I think I want it shorter...I know yesterday I wanted it longer but TODAY I think I want to go shorter. Now for the record I really only have one week to decide and I am toiling. But let me tell you when I came across this picture of Taraji....I was sold, short hair ....it's gonna be. Her bob is giving me all types of fevah...yes it is HOT! So that solves it, I will be weaving me a bob, short and sassy while keeping my growing locks in tact (no. 1 reason I love wearing a weave). So I will be sure to post pics.

2 Minute Hair

If you are like me, I am NOT a morning person, which is one of the reasons I love my 2 minute hair style. When most people get a weave, they always ask me "How do you wrap your hair up at night?" Well too be honest it really depends on where I am going the next day and how I am planning on wearing my hair that day. But more times that not I prepare my hair for bed using my two minute method so when I wake up I only have to spend two minutes on my hair. To do the same thing all you need is few flexirods (I only use two large ones) (pictured below) and a couple of bobby pins (I only use two). The number of both really depends on your desired style. I first part my leaveout or bang in the front and loosely pincurl it laying flat (the tighter you roll it, the tighter your curl will be) one pin curl on each side of my part. This takes care of the entire front of my hair. I then part the back into two section and roll my hair with one flexirod on each side, tie my scarf and I''m done. In the morning, I unroll the flexirods and take out the bobby pins, shake my head up and down to loosen the curls and go. Miraculously it appears like I have a head full of curls and a perfect bang. *Tip: If my curls are too tight, I take a low heat flat iron or curling iron and go over the curl to loosen it up a little bit.

Flexi rods (they come in different colors, I use the purple ones for medium size curls)



Here is a youtube video on flexi rods and pin curling

Pincurling


The best thing about both is you are minimizing the amount of heat you put on your hair, and whether you are wearing a weave or your natural hair, the less heat the better.

Hair Art or Hair Horror

If you have ever taken the time to browse YouTube you know that you are likely to come across a little bit of everything. I often cruise Youtube watching makeup reviews, tutorials, hair tutorials, etc. Well this past weekend while on YouTube I came across a slew of videos by a hairstylist by the name of Seaborn. Now, I have heard of this stylist before on a hair board but didn't take the time to watch the videos. But on this particular day, I decided to check him out......and WOW!!!!!
Don't get me wrong, I am a "whatever floats your boat" type of girl, but at what point does creativity cross the line of being art to being just down right atrocious. After watching the videos, I will be the first to admin, Mr. Seaborn, is c-r-e-a-t-i-v-e and have skills, but really? However in the same token, it doesn't seem like he is hurting for clients. I have no judgement either way because as the old adage says "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", but I am asking you...would you behold any of these styles?
