H.O.T.D-2/20/2012

Hello my Faithful BSBlog lovers:
Sorry I have not been updating these last two weeks or so.
I have been feeling blah, and in a rut, and things just haven't  been going as I planned.
Ever had one of these days? LOL.

Well, I have been relieved a bit today, because I honestly felt better than I have in 7 days!
 I took a pic of my hair. *I have included my hair pic for your viewing pleasure*. Mom says its a no go-But she is unsupportive at ALL times!
I loved this look, and even wore it to work.

It was constructed by simply washing my hair to prep for a wash n' go. I added my leave-in, coconut oil, and some Pink Oil Moisturizer Lotion. I pulled my hair in 5 taut ponies, and allowed it to air dry overnight. I picked out and added the part, plus 2 hair clips in the a.m.
Hope you enjoy!

Hair How-To: Finger Coils

So, this week on Sunday or Monday, I did coils in my hair. I really love the style. It is effortless, simple, and plain ole convenient.
I did find a down side to my style of choice this week, and it was my gel. After the hair dried, For the first time EVER -My hair dried white, with flaky white residue. Ewwww.
It's barely even noticeable, but I wanted to share my method. Hope you enjoy it anyhow. Peace!

Discussion #6

OMG! Over the weekend, I had a friend of mine post a pic on her Facebook wall. Nothing unusual about that, huh? Well, the pic was of Kim Wayans.

It should ring bells to hear Wayans alone. Yes she is one part of the notorious Wayans family. Her siblings are Shawn, Marlon, Keenan, etc....They are the creative forces behind White Chicks, The Wayans Brothers, and In Living Color, the HUGELY successful 90's variety show!
So, anyhow, the pic was of her sporting her own natural hair.Kim Wayans, natural-Who knew? The picture was simply gorgeous, and I loved it. Wanted to share and get your opinions on her look......Enjoy!
