Lace Front Wigs

Lately I have been thinking of wearing more protective styles for my hair. The easy go to for me is a wig. I have only owned one in my lifetime but I absolutely loved it.This is great for when I'm feeling lazy about styling my hair.

My last wig was a straight bob, very flattering for my face type, but I do so love curly hair so I'm thinking of investing in a curly lace front wig.

I've been doing a bit of research since I have absolutely no clue about fake hair, so I'm basically in the dark about hair quality and so forth.

I'm looking for something in this region.



Or Maybe



I've always admired Erykah Badu's array of afro wigs. I've got to hand it to that woman, even her fakes are true to who she is, but I need a bit of something to wear that in public.







Here are a couple of her refine styles that I like.

I love this Turban Headband from forever21.com. Use in place of your regular hair scarf for an alternate look. They come in different colors too. At $3.80 a pop,they are very affordable.

Honey Hair Conditioner

Try this at home. It's easy, cheap and effective.

2 Tbsp Honey
4 Cups warm water
1 tsp Baking soda

Mix it all together and apply to hair. Cover for 15 mins then wash out.
Look at how your hair glows.

Why honey?
Its molecules retains moisture which is great for dry hair.



Mix and Match recipes and find what works best for you. Don't go overboard on honey unless you want to attract bees!

Stuck in a Hairstyle Rut

That's it-! I'm in a style rut. My hair basically falls obediently into place for my usual ponytail. It's not that I don't have the time to style but I have gotten pretty lazy with my hair routine. My whole shampoo, deep conditioned styled hair is boring.

Now I know there are many styles out there to experiment with, but if you are like me with minimal ( I mean minimal) hairstyling skills then its not hard to see where the challenges lie.

The upsweep, twisties, ponytail and full 'fro is all I'm skilled to do. I see so many others with effortless style, but even with step by step tutorials my hair always looks very different from the original style.

So my resolution this week is to try a new hairstyle everyday and I'm sticking to that( at least I'll try)

Natural Beauty Danielia Cotton

I am excited about this month's natural beauty and I must admit I know next to nothing about her. The pictures of her dreads are exquisite.... Sigh- I wish I was brave to enough to loc my hair...well maybe sometime in the future.

Her name is Danielia Cotton and she is a rock artist. She released her first album in 2005 called Small White Town. Since I love me some rock I'm gonna check this out. Get back to you with that!
