I WANT HER HAIR

May 23, 2011 HAIR LUST

it’s that time of the year again! to start thinking about even bigger hair, short shorts and two-piece bikinis. you should have seen me this morning. i got out of the bed and looked in the mirror and had the immediate inclination to try on my striped black and turquoise bikini from last year. i [...]

i want her hair! genie braids (as an alternative to locs)

May 13, 2011 HAIR LUST

i’ve always been a fan of genie/yarn braids from afar. my hesitation stems from a couple of things – impatience to sit for hours and get my hair braided and the fear of the yarn drying my hair out. though you can rock genie braids without dry hair, you just have to pick the right [...]

i want her hair!: big heat-free flexirod curls

May 10, 2011 HAIR LUST

i have a ton of flexirods sitting underneath my bathroom counter collecting dust. the last time i used them i was left with a hairstyle that had me looking like somebody’s grandma. no bueno. after watching african export do her thing with her flexirods, i’m inclined to dig those jokers out from behind my old [...]

i want her hair!: big chop redo

April 13, 2011 HAIR LUST

every now and again i think many of us go through that, “maybe i should big chop” phase long after we’ve grown our hair. or sometimes we go through it because of hair disaster setbacks like heat damage or a bad hair cut or a break up – i always thought this was a myth [...]

i want her hair!: hawk twa twistout

April 7, 2011 HAIR LUST

ebony is a makeup boss. if you are not watching her on youtube, you should get familiar. i can actually watch her tutorials all the way through and that’s saying a lot for me. if you don’t garner my attention in the first few seconds – i’m out and have clicked off of your page, [...]

i want her hair!: natural hair blow-dry braid out

March 29, 2011 HAIR LUST

african export is one of my fave youtubers. i love her realistic/around the way approach to hair. if she knows something she shares it and if she doesn’t she says she does not. recently she straightened her hair and has been playing with styles to get the most out of her blow dried tresses. going [...]

i want her hair!: cropped twists and locs

March 14, 2011 HAIR LUST

oh my goodness! how cute is this hairstyle?! i don’t know who this chica is but what i do know is that this hairstyle is boss. perhaps she is growing out her locs and saved a bit just to rock this hairstyle, or maybe this was all impromptu. whatever the story behind this style, it’s [...]

i want her hair!: lady gaga natural hair bow

March 12, 2011 HAIR LUST

you know, when i saw lady gaga rocking her hair bow, i thought, “well, i really like that!” the idea was so simple and so slept on. who would have thought to make a hair bow out of…hair? and who would have thought to try to replicate this hairstyle on natural hair and rock this [...]

i want her hair!: sassy scünci updo

March 9, 2011 HAIR LUST

confession time!!! a long while ago, i saw these scünci hair zings in my local drug store and i thought, “what an old fashion looking hair pin – so not my style.” let’s see, we had beads and elastic and clips – just one look at this thing and it’s just way too confusing to [...]

i want her hair!: knotted puff

March 1, 2011 HAIR LUST

kinky girl tamara is looking flawless in this beautiful knotted bun hairstyle. a hairstyle that she makes well known is quick and easy to do. i often get puff exhaustion after a day or less – shoot, sometimes in the first few hours, so it’s nice to find a hairstyle you can do that mixes [...]

i want her hair: chunky flat twist updo

February 11, 2011 HAIR LUST

i love this style and recently, i’ve been wearing my hair the exact same way. this is such an easy and super quick style to do that takes no time and looks great on 2 to 3 day old hair. i like to do this style with my hair pinned up in colorful bobbi pins [...]
