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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
