Voila! Here is my new curl pattern. I miss my ringlets. But I love the length. I used @hairrules Kinky Curling Cream to style my hair. #naturalhair

I twisted my hair tonight with these 3 products. Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque is my staple but I found the other two when I was moving. So I decided to give them a try. I wanted to use the HydroVeil because I thought my hair needed a little protein. I used I Love My Fro on my ends. Are any of you familiar with these products? Do you like them and how do you use them?

I have been M.I.A. for a bit.  I have been crazy busy trying to get my life together. LOL. Now that I’m headed in the right direction, I just wanted to update you on a cute manicure that I found browsing the net.  I owe you one since I missed last Monday. 

It’s a cute cloud design tutorial by Nailside. And it looks super easy.  I may have to try it myself.  Who am I kidding? I’m doing good with just a basic manicure.  I don’t have the patience to let my nails dry enough to do a design.  But maybe you are better than me.

I’d love to know if you try it. Send me a picture and I will post it.

Vogue Magazine recently did a spread featuring their natural haired Booking Associate, Simone Tetteh. The photoshoot titled Five Days, Five Looks, One Girl features Simone’s hair styled by Anthony Dickey of Hair Rules salon. You guys already know I’m a client of Dickey, so I will use any chance I get to highlight is work.

Check out the rest of the spread here. It’s so good to see mainstream magazines embracing women of color. My favorite is the updo look with the scarf. What is your favorite?

The Beauty Department has a great tutorial on how to do the herringbone manicure. This is on my “to do” list.

I just received another perk from Klout in the mail today!! Yay! And it’s Essie Nail Polish Luxeffects in Stroke of Brilliance. Isn’t it pretty? It reminds me of an old Wet n’ Wild color I used to rock back in middle school. 

If you missed out on this Klout Perk, I found a great tutorial for making your own glitter nail polish on EBeautyBlog. Check it out!
