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.

Fekkai Brilliant Glossing cream

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.

My Cinderella☂

 Not to long ago I blogged of a beautiful and inspiring young lady who truly inspires me, not just as a woman but also as a human being.  Danisia Anderson is remarkable teen in control of her future, a charitable and rap poetic she touches the heart of many  including myself.  Not long ago Danisia attended her High School prom and she asked me to be her fairy godmother and make her over lol...
  Overjoyed to take on this task and I accepted, along with styling her hair I also did her make up and helped her out here and there with some style tips and accessories. The outcome of this event was superb and she was gleaming with joy and looking as beautiful  as I knew she would; she was euphoric with gratitude making my heart skip a beat.

  Through this process we were able to bond and become really close, sharing ideas, laughter, and plenty of time. Here are her before and after photos of her Cinderella transformation...

Excited!

Danisia and I

Finally with her date

Some of my recent work....✌

                                   http://www.SarahJanePhotography.com

I enjoy what I do, and I love to have fun doing it... it ignites my creative drive which makes me so passionate about art as a whole.  I believe hair like women/men is beautiful and it comes in different color shapes and style and brings out that much a unique touch to every look... ❀Hair N Roses❀

Why Madonna is the shit!

I don't know why they say that Christina Aguilera is trying to be like Lady Gaga, when in my opinion I believe they are all trying to be like Madonna...

Madonna is the best and although she is getting older, she still reigns as the ultimate bad girl..

A Petal to a Rose on Prom night ❀

  So it's prom season and I have the pleasure of working with one of the most amazing and inspiring teens I've met in a long time.  So dedicated, devoted and always passionate of the everything she sets out to do.... Danisia Anderson is a senior at Health Opportunities Secondary School in the Bronx,  aside from being sweet, funny and creative along with many other talents; Volunteering and poetry are two of my favorite of her attributes. As a poet her words are so powerful, sharp, vivid, witty, and graceful, creating a world to the mind and piercing through the heart with such unyielding metaphors.

  Danisia is a volunteer with The Nakande's Project , in addition to the Build-on foundation, ( buildOn is a non-profit organization that empowers primarily urban US high school students through in-class and intensive after-school programs. In addition to tremendous contributions of community service in their own cities and neighborhoods, buildOn youth actually build schools and bring literacy to children and adults in developing countries around the world. buildOn programs are designed to build confidence and real-world capabilities in American youth while also empowering communities world-wide to overcome the crippling cycle of illiteracy, poverty and low expectations by opening the door to education.) an organization dedicated by contributing to society and even the human race... changing the lives of many.
  Going forward, she has asked me to style her hair and do her make up for her senior prom, and delighted to do so I accepted with great joy and enthusiasm; Not so much because I'm doing what I love to do, but rather because of whom I'm doing it for. A celebrity in my eyes a humble-some young woman, capable of challenging and encouraging herself, her peers and even her elders.
  Danisia will be wearing a lovely one shoulder flower dimensional black dress, and with that she requested to wear her hair on one side with soft curls, adding more flare and beauty to her already beautiful dress.  Excited to be a part of her soon to be extraordinary night I have been doing some searching and will show samples of the style I will be creating for Ms. Anderson... 

 Almost a very similar look to what Danisia will be wearing to her Prom

 A classic, elegant, and yet sexy, young and playful look, fit  for both women and young women in our modern age.. I encourage many other teens looking for a great look to pair up with their dress and date, and who want to look beautiful on their night... its a great and vivacious look for that evening.

Helping Danisia in making her night a memorable and magical night , by allowing her to feel confidant, radiant, and  exuberant, through pure beauty;  Soon as we complete our look I will post pictures of the work done and the very lovely teen before and after...

I would say the fish tail is my favorite way to wear a side braid

Phenomenal Woman❁

Dear Lovely Roses,

  Beneath our skin lies the most beautiful woman any eye can meet, Being beautiful is not about the clothes that we wear, or the way we style our hair; it is the confidence that we sometimes hide inside and forget to project.  For many of us having a junoesque shape, lustrous hair, the perfect nose, lips, and cheek bones is what makes us complete; it is not merely what captures life... How we feel within our own skin and think of ourselves is   truly what surfaces and grasps everything around us.

  We are all designed in a unique and distinguished form, with a purpose to give life to all that surrounds us with our presence.  For the love we give ourselves is the only one we can offer to others... so lets be Radiant, Resilient, and Radical; for our Creator gave us the gift to give life and nurture it as he has done with us, which I believe is the greatest gift one can possess.  Be blessed for we are women phenomenally, phenomenal women is what we are. ; )
