In my last post I told y'all I would be repping my fave hair brand Aunt Jackie's Curls and Coils at the World Natural Hair Show (see previous post). It was my first time working a hair show & I had a BLAST!! I got to spend 2 days meeting fabulous Naturals and talk about all things natural hair & beauty! We had some amazing guests in our booth!

Blondie on the Mic: Your Fave Ambassador

Reds

Last spring I attended the 20th Annual World Natural Hair Show in Atlanta with one goal in mind: SOMEBODY is going to hire me & these blonde tresses as a hair model!! I had a few companies in mind but at the top of that list was Aunt Jackie's Curls & Coils, an Atlanta based hair brand who's products I've used on my hair for years. When I got to the booth I spoke to the first person I made eye contact with -who turned out to be their Global Marketing Director! She loved my energy & wanted me on the team!! I expected things to pop off IMMEDIATELY but that's not always how things work. Months went by & nothing had changed, but I wasn't discouraged! I was more…

The Ultimate Lash Love!!

Neutrals

The more I get into makeup the more my love grows for my newest favorite accessory *LASHES*!!! There's so many different styles, textures, materials... Do you want subtle? or maybe sex kitten? or bold & dramatic? Whatever your mood there's a lash for every occasion -just like lipstick! So you can imagine my excitement when I was contacted by Esqido Lashes to do a review on their gorgeous mink lashes!! I fell in love with every single style but narrowed down my choices to the flirty Lashmopolitan and the luscious Midnight Symphony When my lashes arrived I was immediately impressed by the attention to detail! Inside the branded package were my two pairs of lashes plus their signature Companion Eyelash Glue, which starts white but dries clear. Each box of lashes…

Blondie’s Custom Wigs

Neutrals

What started out as a last minute addition to a Halloween costume has blossomed into a new passion! Wig making! This summer I fell in love with crochet. It was so easy to switch my hairstyle up & have a new do in 2hrs or less! I ran into a problem though. I had this HUGE hair -& I LOVE me some big hair- but this was so big I was struggling to pull shirts over my head & it didn't even fit in a bonnet at night! I thought if I could take this hair off at night it would make it sooooo much easier! Did a little research, headed to my local beauty supply & viola! https://youtu.be/QnwQc8szqU0 I noticed when buying a wig you're at the mercy of…

Curly Hair Questions

Neutrals

Our hair does amazing things & there are so many textures, colors and types! "Black hair" encompasses a VERY broad spectrum so people, expand your mind beyond that teeny tiny box that says it's either weave or it's nappy. I get that people don't know but some things people ask are just ridiculous!! Here are some of the Curly Hair Questions I get almost daily: Is that a wig? Lol! No. & no you can't touch it. Can you do my hair like that?! No, I'm not a hair stylist. But you can watch how I did it on YouTube. How does your hair do that? I went to bed with my hair twisted, plaited, knotted, rolled or contorted some kind of way & more than likely it was not cute.…

Who Stole What Now?!

Plums

This generation is doomed. Not the babies just being born but the ones in grade school right now, these 90's babies. They got the game, the players, & life in general all effed up! I was doing my usual peruse through the Shade Room & came across this: MiMi put it nicer than I EVER could have! My response would've been along the lines of "Oh you poor, sad, ignant, misguided child! You should use the same phone you used to type that bulls**t to google 'braids' or 'cornrows', see who's pictures pop up, learn something & then #sitdownandshutup" So child -lawd I hope that's a child & not somebody grown- you mean to tell me that you grew up with the Internet, have it at your fingertips, but you REFUSE…
