Girl On Fire

Dear Girls On Fire,

Alicia Keys has done it again! Rate for yourself!

Hairstyles Part 1.

I love Janet's slicked sides and touseled top.  This look is best achieved with shorter length hair slicked with a non greasy pomade on sides and flat iron curled.  On longer hair, bobby pins can create the touseled top look.

The 1920s Jazzy look is always a favorite.  This can be achieved with long hairpins.  Look for the tutorials on youtube.  There are also many whole cap wigs and lacefronts that give you this look. [Mommy Wig]

 Ms. Fenty's cropped cap cut brings out your eyes and face.  It can be played up with color added.  There are also wigs that can create this cute look.

 It's sophisticated looking. Something Deena Jones would say.  This is a classic hairstyle that can be achieved with a pnoytail with a long two strand twist.  There are also pre sculptured topbuns like this at beauty supply stores.

 I will not be able to forget this look as it is my favorite.  A Bob with subtle highlights and a feathered bang.  When I was in high school in 2006 this was a very popular hairstyle in Baltimore.  It still is a go to! Quick and simple.  Achieved with Weave[Duby], Wigs, or a Flatiron and a great barber.

 I believe this is how I would like to see Ms. Minaj.  The mushroomed bangs in this color.  Wigs like this are available or your weaveologist can creat this.

 Sanaa Lathan's very elegant and regal slicked back bum with a grecian braid.  The braid can be achieved from a pack of synthetic braiding hair.

 The pixie cut on Ms. Fenty looks soo cute I want to call her Tinkerbell! This can be achieved with short hair, weave, or wigs.  Many wigs like this are available at Samsbeauty.com

 Look Fabtastic with this edgy but glamourous do.  This can be created with short hair, weave, or a wig.  I saw a wig like this at samsbeauty.com

I graduated in 2007 with this hairstyle! Regal and simple tousled curly bob!

Brandy x[Two Eleven]x

Dear Brandy Fans,

Brandy's new album is certainly filling a void in my R&B life right now! I have always been a Brandy supporter.  Her voice just takes me to paradise!  Make sure you go and purchase Two Eleven.  I will be buying for gifts with my fellow Brandy lovers!  I am searching high and low for the vinyl format!

Vatika Coconut Oil Review and Giveaway!

Dear Readers,


Whether or not you are Natural or Relaxed, this contest is for you. I have heard sooo much about Vatika from youtube.  Coconut oil is very good for my texture of hair.  It really moisturizes, and shines.  Something my hair needs much of during this winter!  The smell is like coconut water but it grows on you.  It has made my hair softer and more manageable.

Sincerely,

Oh Holiday Tree, Oh Holiday Tree.... Where are your clothes?

Dear Reader,


Do you live in an apartment or a dorm, or just a small space?  Is there too much to do this season that a tree seems more of a hassle?  Try this on for size! Be a little different!

When I first googled "Christmas Tree Ideas" and this came up I was more than excited.  My 600 something square foot apartment just couldn't handle a big fir! Not only is this a fast and inexpensive way to decorate, it's a chic play on the "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree." 

Go on a walk to a park and pick up unique looking brances. 
Go to a dollar store and purchase chic trimmings.
Ikea, Walmart, Or a Dollar Store should have a big enough vase for you to store it in!

This tree can be used for any of the holidays coming up from Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, to New Years!

Enjoy Your Space!

Yours Truly,
Prim & Purple
