Beyonce's New Cut Yay or Nay??

So I have been hearing the buzz about my girl Beyonce and her new short pixie cut. I am all for change and I personally think the cut looks good on her whether it is a wig, weave, or her natural hair. I just wish people would stop comparing her to other stars such as Rhianna...I do not think she is trying to be like anybody else besides herself and there is no crime against someone changing up their style. But you guys tell me what do you think of the new do...yay or nay??

Protective Styling Challenge

Hey guys!

I have decided to go on a protective style challenge for at least the next 6 months. I have realized that on my natural hair journey for healthy hair protective styling is a must. From just my personal experience I am realizing that protective styling helps my hair thrive and grow. Keeping my hair exposed to the elements only caused my hair to break and have split ends. So I have decided to get back on my protective style kick...when I first transitioned into being a #curlgirl that is all I wore were full sew-ins not leaving any hair out at all. I would simply take down one sew-in, wash and deep condition my hair and hurry up and get another one put in. My hair definitely grew a lot from that process, but once I started wearing my "natural" hair out in twist outs and other styles where my ends were not covered I noticed a difference in the state of my hair. I started giving myself more hot oil treatments and it worked a little bit but I still was not seeing the results I wanted to see. So that is what lead me to go back to the beginning of my hair journey; back to the basics and what I know works for me. My first month and half I decided to wear box braids or what some people are calling poetic justice braids and they are doing great! It is an easy protective style to keep up with and low maintenance. I have pics posted below and I think once I take these down I get another full sew-in just in time for my birthday! lol Oh and I promise to start posting my updates on this blog.

2nd Look at the Genesis Virgin Brazilian Wavy Hair

Hey Guys!

I know it has been a minute since my last post but I am back with my 2nd look at the Genesis Virgin Hair. Again the specs are on this hair are as follows: (1) 18" (1) 22" and (1) 24", the hair comes in a natural brown color. My hair is installed as full sew in meaning I have none of my "natural" hair left out. And so far the hair has stood up for this 2nd go round. I have experienced light shedding and tangling which I think is awesome. I know some people have not had such a great experience with this hair but all I can say is either they did not how to take care of the hair or maybe they received a bad batch. But for the price you will pay for this hair I have no complaints. I will be posting a video on YouTube to follow this post soon. I wanted to wait till I reached my month mark before producing another video and that month has passed so be expecting a video to be posted soon.

Now the reason why I decided to re-install my Genesis Virgin hair was because I got sick of working with natural hair and just needed a break from it for a while. I thought to myself a full closure sew in would be perfect to protect my real hair and at the same time give me a chance to  revisit the Genesis Virgin Hair. And after a month I think I made the right choice. My natural hair is protected underneath which is a great thing, I have been using coconut and grapeseed oil to moisturize my scalp during this time. But a month is a long time for me to go without washing or co-washing my hair so I will taking down this sew in really soon. If it still holds up I might re-install it again. Right now my goal is make sure my natural hair stays healthy so I am going to be rocking a lot of protective styles to make sure that happens. From full sew-ins to mini twist I will be rocking them all this spring and summer so please be on the lookout for more post in the near future. And remember being Natural doesn't mean you can not have fun with your hair...so be a FUN NATURAL and be you!

As always I can not leave without posting a few pictures so here you guys go:
