It seems that there are a lot of ways to spell Unbeweaveable. It’s a spin on the word unbelievable—my main character Mariah is addicted to her weave and discovers an unbelievable family secret—hence the title, Unbeweaveable. I’ve always spelled Unbeweaveable adding the –e before the –able. But unbelievable doesn’t have the –e, so many have it spelled like this: Unbeweavable. Small hiccup I know but I don’t want any of you guys getting confused. Unbeweaveable, Unbeweavable—it’s the same book and as long as you’re out there purchasing a copy—which I’m sure many of you have already done, pre-order now!—I don’t care much about the spelling. As long as it’s correct on the book, which it is, then it doesn’t bother me.
I know what a boiled egg feels like. Every time I step outside my door I run into a brick wall of heat. It can get intensely hot in Houston—and that leave’s a Weavy Wonder like me to answer some of your hair care dilemma’s this summer to keep the sweat off your neck and keep you fierce in this boiling summer heat.
Bob It
The obvious thing to do would be to cut all your hair off. (A bald head means a cool head right?) But if you’re not up for a big chop, try a bob. It’s the look I plan to wear this summer and to make it carefree I plan to add tousled loose waves like Selma Hayek on the June issue of InStyle.
Ladies, a bob is classy, chic, cool—three adjectives I know most women are going for this summer. So obviously, to keep sweat off your neck this summer rock a shorter style. Afraid to go this short? Have your stylist fake it out by pinning the back up with bobby pins and have your layered hair hang over. Or go for a full fake-out with a sew-in weave. You can braid up your long locks and add shorter hair for an instant update to your look.
Pin It
I am loving Jada Pinkett’s hair lately! One of my favorite looks, (besides her flawless waves) is when she wears a ponytail.
Too simple, you say? No way! A ponytail highlights your cheekbones, your eyes, and if tight enough can take ten years off your face. (Insert laughter here.) But seriously, it’s the rare woman that can’t pull off the ponytail, so play with what works for you. The goal is to have attention brought to your beautiful face. Now who wouldn’t love that?
Braid It
Braids are many women’s go-to source to beat-the-heat-beauty. And why not? If done correctly they provide your real hair with a break and are extremely low maintenance. (I said low maintenance, not no maintenance! Every style will require a few things to keep it up.)
You can rock an elaborate corn-rowed look like Jill Scott; 
or wear a romantic up-do like Mary Kate Olsen. Either way you cut it, both looks scream summer style, just make sure your stylist is experienced with different braiding techniques.
So there it is folks, my way to beat the heat this summer. Sweat on the neck is never a cute thing, but trying new looks to beat it is always in style. Besides you need room to put the ice-pack on your neck—did I mention how hot it is outside?
