JUST ME TODAY. FLAT IRONED BECAUSE  I GOT TIRED OF DOING MY HAIR BEFORE WORK. =)

This woman is RIH -diculously gorgeous. From hair, to make-up, to her humble personality, to her style, Rihanna has it all on lock.  This summer, via her instagram, I noticed she is rockin' her natural (assumed) hair texture which makes her face stand out even more. She looks so young with her hair worn in this manner. I just had to drop a post about one of the baddest (IMO).  Take a look at her changes in hair over the years. 

I decided it was time I go back to the care I used to give my hair. I used to take the time to make sure my hair was feeling good. I noticed my hair was in it's healthiest state doing oil rinses back in 2011. I would oil rinse every two weeks. The week I wouldn't oil rinse, I was deep conditioning. I figured this weekend was as good as any to begin. Enjoy the pictorial. During oil rinsing. I used EVOO  and Africa's Best Hair/Skin Oil with a dab of Conditioner See the waves? My natural texture and glow after the oil rinse I decided to braid it for a gorgeous braidout in the morning. Let it airdry under the fan for a total of four hours. It didn't come out as fluffy as the last time but it still looked great to me. 

I logged on to twitter, which I do for entertainment only, and seen a tweet that had me cthu. I just thought I would share it with you all. He basically is saying: If Trinidad James can grow his hair out, why the hell can't other women? Lol I had to admit, he had a point.

As you know, I am currently writing an urban fiction novel entitled Broken Pieces.  Being in this field, I have met and talked with a lot of other authors. But one in general stood out to me - Joy Deja King. I read her books years ago. Started off with the Bitch Series  and so on. Anyway, I started to notice that is was the same woman on every single book. Curious to say, I dug and found out that in fact it was Deja King herself. The first thing I noticed about her was her  beautiful hair. This is before I was into the whole "is she natural or relaxed" craze. But now discovering that she just pretty much "let's her hair go" meaning leaves it alone, I am in love with it even more. Check out these pics and also check out her books. She also writes under the synonym Joy King. Also, she has a mixtape out as well. <iframe src="http://rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?t=scarhairobse-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=0984332510&ref=tf_til&

Simply put - IT'S GAAAWJUS! This style is beautiful. Can pretty much rock with with jeans and a dressy blouse, or can wear it on the Red Carpet, such as Chrissy Teigen did. All it is is a wrap-around braid that is tucked in at the center into a rounded bun.

I don't know what got into me. Recently I have been wearing nothing but this high bun. At first I thought my head was too big but oh well if it is. It looks cute.  Just thought I would share a few pics of it.

I never came back to upload the rest of the pictures. So here you go. Enjoy this quick and easy style. If you are lost as to what I am referring to, check this post .
