Who Loves Hair Bows As Much As I DO???


When it comes to my natural hair I always love a simple yet "Demanding Attention" look. Between high buns, twist outs, wash n go's.... who can go wrong with hair bows? It's a very easy and quick way to add pizzaz to any hairstyle.


The scarf shown in the picture was from the lovely Elizabeth Weekes. I love this bow she created because it's perfect for people who have a hard time finding the perfect material to tie a bow with. All you have to do is double knot the scarf and there you have it... perfect bow every time in less than 15 seconds! Check out her site to see all she has to offer!

Natural Hair Growth

Natural Hair Growth



While this isn't my most recent hair length check... I thought it would be better to upload this one to the blog before the new one. This will give those of you who aren't following me on Youtube a better idea of the growth I have experienced within the last year. I made this video at about my 2 1/2 year mark of being natural. Natural hair rocks and I hope I can inspire and encourage you guys to start your own journey and thrive within it. Enjoy!
