A cure for boredom

I've been really bored with my hair. I thought adding in the color last month would ease my feelings of lame hair, but nope. Not even a little bit! So at the beginning of july I added in some butt length wanna be Naomi braids minus the straightness. The first day the hair was really big, bushy, and beautiful, but the next few weeks it turned into a frizzy, tangly mess. I needed a way to hide the tangly-ness. As a beauty school dropout, I knew rolls and updos, are a great way to make a bad hair day better (to me). I've never done this with extensions before but I think for a first try it came out good, and at least its better than before.

My version:

JUST A GIRL

Gwen Stefani has stepped into my hair radar. I've always loved her style , but her hair never interested me until now. I've been obsessively searching for new hairstyles to cure my itch to do something drastic to my hair. I've had every color under the sun in my hair and for once I would like to leave my natural color alone. I love how creative her recent hairstyling has been, (maybe thanks to a certain band reuniting) so I will attempt to recreate a few of them on afro hair. Stay tuned.

LOVE THE FRONT SWIRL ROLL FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CHECK MY FOTKI, THIS WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR MY "SHRIMP" STYLE

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS ON TEXTURED HAIR

side note: Gwen is also a heart!

OWNING YOUR HEART

On a recent search for the right glasses for my face, I came across a plethora of sites calling my shape "least desirable" of all shapes (oval is the "best"). Out of all the face shapes, the heart, inverted triangle, cat/ant, whatever you want to call it, seems to get the most shit. This shape is usually characterized by high cheekbones, wide set eyes, and broader forehead than chin. Hmmmmm. Personally I don't give a crap if you like my face or its shape or not, but its certainly unfair to discriminate. From what I noticed riding the subways all day, this shape is most common.

If you haven't noticed, hearts own the bob. Shoulder length or shorter works the best, anything that balances out the chin. The best glasses for a heart shape are square frames or rimless.

THE BIGGER THE BETTER
