my protective styling is back again in full force this year.

i’ve decided to keep my hair covered to maximize growth, a.k.a protective styled, until early fall of this year.

in sept??? of 09 (may have been late aug) i started wearing my lace wig. i’m protective styling to retain length and to mix it up a bit. also, i want to do so many different things that i know if i did these things to my hair, i’d screw it up and end up some kinda bald headed! no, no, no.

so to have fun with my hair, i’m just going to buy some more hair!

my plan is to install a fresh set of cornrows every two months – moisturize daily or when needed, wash twice a month and apply my lace wigs (or a wig that i’m contemplating making) as i go along.

i plan to start off with “big hair”, but when the real heat of summer hits, it’s going to be wayyyyy to much hair so i’m going to do a fake “chop.”

and then late summer, even more of a “chop!” yep, i have it allll planned out. if all goes well, my hairstyles are gong to go look similar to these styles (my inspirations), in this order:

this is for you awhley

we’ve seen them everywhere – but mostly on celebs, and when we do see them – they fit like a charm, like a custom made charm. i’m talking leather pants.

most women covet leather pants and either love them or hate them, and i hate to be the bearer of bad news (well, depending on how you look at it), but leather pants are for women on the slim side. this may be a little un-pc, but the bigger you are, the less appealing leather pants are. and i say this with all good intention. i honestly think after a size 10, you are skating into hooch territory with slim fits, though you may be able to get away with a looser fit up to a 12. but hey, that’s just my fashion OPINION. in no way, shape, or form am i being discriminatory; only sharing fashion advice.

with that being said. let’s go over some basic rules to choosing the perfect pair of leather pants.

want legs for days? opt for nude pumps.

match the pumps like you would match a nude bra, with your skin tone.

because nude pumps give the illusion that there is no break between where your foot stops and the shoe starts, you can walk tall in these leg lengthening, powerhouse shoes!
