Faux Updo on a TWA

My friend got married yesterday (yes, on a Tuesday). This was my first "formal" event since going natural (unless you count going to church). I wasn't sure how I wanted to style my hair, but I felt "BIG HAIR" would be appropriate for such a grande occassion. :)

I thought my TWA had styling limitations since I cannot put it in a ponytail to attach a phony puff. But where there's a will, there's a way. So after experimenting a little...here's my faux updo on my TWA...

I'll post a vid tutorial on it later...

RIP to An Icon of Style

Naomi Sims passed away last week...

For those of you that aren't familiar with her, chances are you saw her work on any stylish wig-wearing family member. You were officially considered "balling status" if you rocked a Naomi Sims wig. For people of color, Naomi Sims was the cadillac of hair. Don't believe me, ask your grandmother or older aunt.

But before her infamous line of wigs and certainly before Naomi Campbell, Tyra, Alek Wek, Iman and Beverly Johnson, there was Naomi. There are numerous tributes around the net that can certainly give more justice to Sims than I can...but just know that a true icon of style is no longer with us...but her style lives on.

My own tribute is a look at my versatility of style thanks to women like Naomi Sims...

My fellow twitter friend Afrobella has done a smashing tribute to Sims...check it out here.

Two-Strand Twistout August 2009

I'm on Day 3 of a Two Strand Twistout I did Saturday night. The definition is bananas! It's as curly as Day 1 but getting fuller...

In order to maintain, all I do is throw on my satin bonnet at night and re-moisturize with my mixed buttercreme in the AM. A shot of shine and I'm done in about 5 minutes...and curl definition that lasts all day, actually multiple days!

Check it out....
