looking at this photo can make anyone rush to be called “carrot top.” her hair is so pretty, isn’t it??!!
i’ve had redish hair before. there are pictures floating around here on the blog with my auburn and copper red hair. one thing i learned was that red hair can fade on you fast. if i ever decide to go red again, i’ll be rinsing my hair with natural rinses that can help me keep up the color, and if you are a red head too, you can use these natural at-home treatments to keep your red kinks and curls popping in between your color sessions.

while stalking the second best place on the internet to find fly natural hair styles ;), i spotted this haute natural hair style on a fave youtuber of mine, msvaugh. this style reminded me of the style that taren did called “side ways curls” that i also featured – actually this hairstyle is the same except this is how you would get this style on coarse and kinky hair that’s not naturally as curly as taren’s hair.

okay, my skeletons are out of the closet. i’m a smoker and i’m proud. yeah, i said it! and not only am i proud, i’m a smoke pusha!
don’t sleep on the smoke, bellas. i used to be scared of the smokey eye. a LOT can go wrong during application – so much so that if you are not careful, you could end up looking like you just left a bar fight and that my dears is a big fat no BUENO. but if you get the smoke right, then you will look smokin’ hot!

as soft spoken as she is, you’d never guess that this kinky girl runs with the big dogs, literally. with former tv anchor aspirations, tamara has turned her life into what she wants it to be. now working for a congressman as well as balancing her life as a writer and ruby woo lover, she sat down to talk to me like an old girlfriend would, giving us a peep inside her life full of shoes, makeup and hair acceptance.
when i reached out to tamara to do a type 4 feature, i realized that with a closet full of boss clothes she could also serve up a double whammy, so this interview is both a kinky girl and type 4 feature intertwined to entertain you the entire time.
be sure to click on any of the products or links throughout the interview to learn more about tamara’s products or to be inspired by her style.
so what’s the story behind your hair? [click to continue…]

it’s been a minute since i’ve ventured outside of the conditioner circle that i cherise – aussi moist and garnier moisture works – but while in whole paycheck the other night (whole foods for all of you who aren’t on) i saw a bottle of conditioner that i’d noticed a while back but put back down in lieu of another product.
now mind you, i had and still have a great, big, bottle of garnier sitting in my shower but tyrona biggums got the best of me and my inner pj made me buy this conditioner.

i’m one of those people who run in the opposite direction when i see the perfume girls at the entryway of the department stores. “please, no perfume samples.” i hate to walk out of a department store with a nose so chock full of scent that it takes me a half a day to get back on track.
recently i was hipped to miss dior chérie. “don’t avoid the perfume ladies for this one,” i was told, “you’re gonna love it!” and they were right. [click to continue…]
