Transformations

If you ask me what it is that I like about what I do, I would tell you it's the transformation process of it all and absolutely the final corollary. Many of us will stand in front of a mirror and neglect to see the real beauty God has given us.  I for one several years ago after relentlessly damaging my hair do to relaxers, trying to appear like someone that I am not, made the courageous decision to grow my hair out naturally in the way that God had intended it for me.  Surprisingly of course with a lot of encouragement, and floundering with many of my colleagues I learned that I was more attractive, youthful, and happier with my natural curly hair. 
 For me it was a life changing experience that I would love you for many to share with me...  As a hairdresser and curly hair specialist I have been able to transform not just the look or style, but the lives of so many other women and men alike. Like myself they too could not believe that they could look and feel so good in the nature of their hair the hair that is one if not the greatest accessory to any woman's look, and if you don't believe me here are some before and after looks of some women and men I have had the pleasure to work on.

Fight against Frizz

Most people agree that curly hair is glorious. However, it can be difficult to stop curls from turning to frizz, especially in humid weather.  The best way to prevent frizz is by controlling how much moisture your hair absorbs. Frizzy hair is often porous, absorbent hair that is thirsty for moisture. Too often, your hair absorbs humidity from the air, and ends up looking like a slightly relaxed cleaning pad. Your goal is to feed your hair the moisture that it needs, and then to prevent it from absorbing more later, and getting out of control

I speak for myself when I say that it's such a headache to straighten curly hair and it frizzes up in matter of seconds.  So I took the time to do some research on products that would help me and many of you out there that suffer from the same problem with your hair.  

Just this weekend I went camping with some friends and I was so concerned with my hair being extra dry and frizzy from me swimming in the pool, just then my best friend told me about this product she had purchased from hair show.  I was immediately intrigued to try something new for my hair with the hope that it would help at least for the weekend.  On my way to the shower she hands me her Pravana shampoo and conditioner; and I have to say it is a phenomenal product for curly and frizzy hair. My hair has not felt this soft in a long time and indeed my hair needed it... glad I was introduced to this product I would love to share it.

One of my favorite products comes from Italy not really carried at the beauty supply, but there are salons such as stoll salon that carry this product... I am talking about Barex Italiana























Barex Italiana Frizzy hair line















This line of products is an extraordinary one, its light on the hair and each product from shampoo to the gloss cristaline do the job without weighing the hair down  or causing buildup.  I highly recommend . this line for people who don't like to use products do to oily or flat hair..


If you seem to have a problem with frizz really look into these products, go to a near by beauty supply or salon and ask for samples of everyone of these hair care lines before you decide to purchase make sure its suitable for your hair type.

The Side Braid

Lately I have taken an interest in a style that can be worn to almost any event, it can be dressed down or dressed up... The side braid is fun, flirty and  has a sophisticated flare to it, and can also be worn by all ages... To make it more hip you can wear it messy, and for a more formal approach you can always polish it up... here are a few and distinct ways to wear a side braid.
I would say the fish tail is my favorite way to wear a side braid
