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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
