Glow Up Season: Tip #1 Hair
Essence

"It's All About the Inches Baby"! Ladies it is time to get out of your comfortable stuper and get active so you can get to the next level emotionally, spiritually and academically. But, as quoted by Alex Blackwell from The Bridgemaker, "To feel good on the inside means being good on the outside, too".

With the re- onset of the natural hair movement in the African American community, many feel pressured to join, but are disappointedly met with dry, breaking, over product hair. These deterrents thus lead to a back and forth battle with hair manipulation and frustration. But, luckily for all men and women the beauty market has been long developing the perfect hair alternatives to make you happy.

So if you are tired of spending hours on your hair, want to try a new texture, style, technique or just bored with your strands give these few styles a try from these trusted, quality sites!


The Loose Water Wave

Shown is the Brazilian Virgin Human Hair Water Wave Wig. The bonus of this luscious wig from ComingBuy.com, formerly known as YesAfrica, is that it comes with a thinned out pre- plucked hairline accompanied with baby hairs to give that perfect natural look. ComingBuy allows you to choose your desired hair density, cap size, color, construction, lace color, length and more! So if you want to be a "wavy girl" this season, give it a try!

The Curly Cutie

This short natural style will give you the perfect sexy edge this spring. WigsBuy offers an affordable variety of long and short natural hairstyles with colors ranging from 1 to 6. Here is the Short Small Curly Full Lace 100% Human Hair Wig that has a great length and quality that will help you avoid matting, tangling, excessive sweating or unwanted shine.

The Kinky/ Curly Diva

Think you are ready to "werk" these curls without having to spend hours framing your face? Then this look is for you! This style provides you with a carefree shoulder length look while also giving you the comfort of having stretched curls. This style along with a wide variety of curly textures can be found in both wig and weave form at one of the most esteemed natural hair providers, Kinky Curly Yaki.

The Nubian Queen

One of my personal favorites is the Nubian Twist. Like many hair styles these twists can be installed normally or through the crochet process which cuts down on installation time. The benefit of these twists is that you can reuse this hair as many times as needed and each install allows you to stretch your twists more and more. This style also gives you the flexibility to work up a sweat without the stress of tangles or unnecessary weight as these twists are light and bouncy. You can find the hair you need at Ebay or Amazon under Nubian Twist Braid Hair Twist and Lock.

Straight Yaki Micros

Silk or Natural Micro Extensions can be installed on a track, with a pincher heat tool, through loops or clamps giving you the chance to pick the safest quickest install method for your hair. Natural micro extensions allow you to have leave- out and a layered textured look making the extensions almost undetectable every time. Even though this method can be tedious, patience is key to to avoid breakage during your install while gaining the length you want. Micro loop hair extensions can be found at AliExpress.


Bad To The Bone

If you are a fan of the bone straight look with fullness this is the style for you! Pictured is a Human Hair Silky Straight Super Deep Middle Part Lace Front Wig. The pleasure of this unit is that a flawless silk base closure gives the appearance of a real scalp without visible knots; forcing people to always question how you grew your locks so fast. You can purchase this hair at Premier LaceWigs with the option of a pre- plucked hair line.

I hope that if you don't choose a conventional route on your hair journey that these options will give you the opportunity to explore new styles and install methods that will give you your desired look this glow up season!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
