Slick Back Ponytail Tutorial

I’ve always had fun playing around with different hairstyles. Those of you who’ve been here for a minute have seen the many versions of hairstyles I’ve had over the years. I’ve kept it longer for a while now because it’s just easier to keep up with and requires fewer trips to the salon, but I do like playing around with different ways to style it. When I was in Sea…

How I Tame My Baby Hairs

Y’all know my hair has been a JOURNEY for me since having Four. Of all the things I expected postpartum, hair growth was not one of them. I’m definitely not complaining because I’d rather have hair growth than hair loss as many women experience, but it does force me to get creative when styling my hair — especially if I’m going to be wearing it pulled back. I tried all kinds…

Beauty Review: Dyson Airwrap

For years, I heard people raving about the Dyson Airwrap, but I never really considered getting it because it was a pretty big investment, and I was always happy with the curling wand or iron I was using.

Thankfully, I did persevere, LOL, and I’m excited to show you what I learned when comparing curling irons and wands! First things first, there is A LOT of subjectivity to this situation. Obviously I…

How I’m Transitioning My Beauty for Spring

Sometime over the last five years or so I learned the importance of switching up your beauty routine based on the season.

So expert or not, I have picked up a thing or two over the…

I never need it more than 2x a year and I think it’s because of a few things. One, my hairdresser does…

How I Do My Loose Waves

Ever since I cut my hair, I haven’t really experimented with it much. I usually just round brush it dry, maybe do a little velcro-roller action, and then I’m done. But when I was at the beach last month with my friend Liz, she told me she is obsessed with her Beachwaver and inspired me to try mine. I’ve actually had this bad boy in my bathroom for almost 2…
