Makeup


Makeup. It enhances and conceals. Although sometimes people take it a bit too far with their caked on foundation and eyeliner up to their brows. On the other hand, I wear only eyeshadow mascara and eyeliner so no questions about face makeup because I am clueless. So here it is.

Straight Hair



































Long Silky Straight Hair. To give myself a break from my curls Ill straighten my hair a few times a year and it also looks pretty =] The journey of learning to straighten my hair...lol. Of course in the early '00s they had those horrible flat irons that burned your hair I used to put so much grease and heat in my hair it was gross. but now Ive learned a way that works for me. I dont blow dry my hair, I wash it the night before and let it air dry for a while then put it in two braids while I sleep and in the morning I straighten it. Now it takes 3 hours just to straighten it which is part of the reason I dont blow dry cause thats another hour plus more unnecessary heat. So here is the final result.

Wavy Hair




Soft Bouncy Waves. When I have to wake up early or just want a more "Dressy" look I French braid my hair the night before so it has time to dry. Sometimes its a little damp in the morning and depending on my mood ill either leave it damp or defuse it and this is what it looks like.

Curly Hair

 Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In and defusing

 Wet curls
 I think this was second day hair

Big Thick Soft Curly Hair. It took many years for me to understand and love my hair, but this past year I've learned a lot and have fallen in love with it. From what I've learned on YouTube, I think Im considered to be "Natural" Everyone has different thickness and texture so you have to find what works for you. Hopefully I can help you a long the way. Feel free to ask questions and make suggestions =]
