Red Lipstick All on the Paper

Summer is truly all about color. Nothing says look at me like these lovely red lips. Combo includes Mac's Lady Bug and Victoria Secrets Cherry bomb lipgloss. Don't like it bright well layer a dark liner on first and add color. Wanna tone it down dab your lips with a tissue paper for a matte look!

My Curly Girl Hair Routine

Curly Girl: The HandbookThe curly girl handbook featured to the right provides tips about curly hair.  The book features women with different types of curl patterns and focuses on embracing natural texture. The "curly girl method" is well known in the natural world however every natural has their own unique styling method. It took me some time to figure out what my hair needed but it was well worth the journey!

My curly girl hair routine consist of the following:
1. Co-wash hair with Tressemme Natural Conditioner
    (a) Detangle, masssage scalp, and rinse conditioner with cold water.
    (b) Reapply Tressemme Natural Conditioner and leave in hair
2. Apply Mizani True Textures Curl Soft Leave in Conditioner
3. Apply Mixed Silk Elements Leaving In Conditioning Creme
4. Style hair as desired, diffuse with blow dryer or air dry.
This process reduces frizz, maintains moisture, and allows me to wear
my curls without re-washing for 5 days!

Night Time Routine
1. Place hair into a 3 pineapples using ouchless bans.
2. Spray water on each ponytail and add olive oil to seal in moisture.
3. Place bonnet on head and prepare for bed
4. If your scalp get dry at night, add a little bit of olive to your scalp

Morning Routine (2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th day hair routine)
