Bangs

For the longest time I wouldn’t wear bangs. My younger sister constantly teased me that my forehead was too small, and that bangs would overwhelm my face. Last winter, I proved her wrong and rocked bangs for the first time. I wore them full and just above my eyes like shown here. Sure, I could barely see and tripped over my own feet, but I felt it was a small price to pay for beauty.

It’s still too warm outside, but a cold front is supposed to move in Houston by tomorrow so I’m considering pulling out the bang look when I get my hair done today. What do you think? Are you a fan of bangs, or do you prefer having hair out of your face?

Have a banging weekend!

Going Blond

Most people who wear dark hair want a change now and then. I can remember a time when I didn’t care about the health of my hair–if I wanted a different color I did it.

But now I’m older. And now I see how pretty my weave is the longer my hair is, (Sounds silly I know, but us Weavy Wonders know that the longer and healthier your hair is, the more natural your weave looks. But I’ll save that for another post…) and so I keep my hair dark.

Now normally I love Rihanna’s look. I absolutely love her with dark hair.The dark hair brings out her features and doesn’t wash out her skin tone like her brown hair did.

(Plus with the brown hair she blended in too much with the other pop stars of the world. Beyonce, Ashanti…)

And yes I was one of the millions of women who copied her signature short hair cut.

This is what I’m used to when I see Rihanna. Now I know she had to change up her look. I know that. But to this?

I’m sure her look is temporary and was helped with blonde extensions, but I’m not feeling the blonde. Rihanna, come back to the dark side!

Hair-Tinted Glasses

The first thing I notice on a person is–you guessed it–their hair. I can’t help it! Old habits die hard.

When I re-read my second manuscript, I noticed that all the descriptions of my characters were not descriptions of them–I only described their hair. No strands were left uncovered. (Believe me I fixed this in my re-writes.)

So who’s hair am I feeling now? It would have to be Monica. The only word to describe her hair is FIERCE!

Next would be Taraji P. Henson. She is rocking that cut!

I feel like I have hair-tinted glasses on all the time. Whenever I describe someone in real life I always start with their hair.

“Did you see the girl with the angled bob cut?”

“No, not her, the one with all the split ends.”

Annoying?

Yes.

Will I do something about it?

Absolutely not!
