Hello everyone! I hope your having a fantastic weekend. Wanted to share the newest edition to my shop from an archived piece that has been updated for the shop.

Also I will be heading to the humidity of Austin shortly and cannot help but think about what to do with my hair... I know so important, but really in the grand scheme of it all, a bad hair day can effect my entire day. I have naturally curly hair, which gives me options that I appreciate as I get older actually instead of looking at it as a bad thing as I did most of my childhood, but when visiting high humidity places it begins growing sideways in an uncomfortable and annoying manner, add heat to that and I just want it out of the way. I have not yet found a magical product that will keep my hair from misbehaving, so yes an up-do will have to do. Here are a few of my inspirations I will be taking with me.

Valentino's Braid

I have to admit, I am one of those when it comes to hair styles that stick to a basic few, (only 3) straighten my natural curly hair, wear it natural and use the curling iron, and "I do not have time for my hair today and it is pissing me off" toss of a ponytail. But looking at this top photo of the gorgeous Karmen Pedaru looking so chic with her updo and braid I cannot help but think, I never take time to really try new styles with my hair.

I am not sure why, I just stick with the basic what works out of habit.. It could be though when I was working in a salon many years ago that I had someone give me a new style,

"Why not, whatever you think looks amazing and different". That obviously did not work for me (or anyone for that matter) and left looking like this,

Pucci Spring 2009

Ok maybe not that bad, but I sure did feel like it while walking around downtown running errands after my hair was 80s fied.

What about you? Do you tend to stick with a few styles out of habit, or do you take the time for creative styles with your hair?

Today I vow!!

Today I vow to let my natural curly hair just be more often... I have been trying to grow out my layers and the length for what seems forever!! I really do not mind the long layers I used to have, but once I cut those below my chin and my hair became shorter as a result... I have entered the long process of wanting it back.. A few years now have passed and I have yet to see it again! So I think what is best for now is air drying, no brushes, hiding of the blow dryer, straitening iron, and going darker again (which I think looks better) now looking back.
Here is a photo ( I had a retarded expression, why the black box) of me back in 2005, that is my motivation..SO much longer and thicker... What happened?


So today with it air dried and pulled in a low loose chiffon I have to admit not bad, I just honestly believe if you are not happy with the hair on your head it effects so much of your self esteem..


So what are your hair tricks to growing your hair out? Or regrets of color/cuts.. Share with me.
