Show Me Your Closet

Over the past four years I have learned to love my hair, and in doing so, I have learned to love me.  There have been times when I really disliked the way my hair looked. Not because it was ugly. Because I couldn't get it to do what I wanted to do with my hair. It wouldn't get super straight, or as thin as some of my friends.  It would get so frizzy when wet, I didn't like being caught in the rain.  

I've got a new obsession. Yes, a new one, rainbow colored hair.  I am fascinated by the women who are bold enough to do this look. I did my own bold look two summers ago when I went a very daring red.   I am actually antsy and really want to try pink and blue and green...need I say more? LOL!  Because I have to keep my looks under wraps (at least for the next couple of months) so that I don't scare the very conservative people I work with.  I cannot be really "loud" with my hair.  In my heart I am a child of adventure and do not let others bother me but I must admit there are times when "they" will suppress my spirit. These days though I'm happy to say that I'm learning to live in the moments and I am again learning to let me be me. So yes, I will find a way to try new colors and I do like rainbow colors! How exciting. What I do like about rainbow colors are that there are some that are really LOUD , and others that make a statement without be...

Have you ever wanted to try a shorter hair style but didn't want to cut your own hair?  I have so many times curvy divas ; but my hair takes so long to grow; although I've been toying with the idea of chopping it all off again! One of the beauty of my hair is I can have it styled with the latest hair trend by my favorite stylist using fake hair to create the look I want.  I used to do that back in the day when I was a major player in the hair extension-wearing-land. Today I prefer to don a wig or just wear a hat. Lately I have been drooling over those women I see in magazines and on television with their half long, half shaved hair-do's ....  Since I'm not going to shave my head anytime soon (unless I get one of those crazy-flash-I don't-care-moments!lol!), in perusing elle.com/beauty/hair as I love to read everything Elle, and found a great "How to" and thought I would share . Long hair....to short....see below Do you have long hair?  Have you b...

I blew out my hair and gave it a few presses with the flat iron recently curvy divas , just lightly, not too intensely straight and you know what I noticed?   My hair has grown! Yes it has.  It is now below my neck, resting on my back, just so!  Here are a few selfie pics: One of my throw-back photos of my hair in transition, and not yet red . As my hair grew, the curls become more defined - in a dark red/auburn color My hair after a blow-out a few weeks ago My 'Fro after a blow-out and some straightening a few days ago (pinned into a pony tail style)   It is good to see my hair growing. I am not planning to get a hair cut just yet. I want to see how long it will grow. I will get a trim though....and I mean my ends trimmed, not a cut as these hair stylist like to do, so I may end up doing it myself!   A salon visit is planned for this year though, it's on my style resolution list after all! How is your hair health curvy divas ? ...

It has been approximately three  or four years since I have not relaxed my hair.   Relaxed as you  may know curvy divas, means using a chemical hair cream to straighten my hair .   It has been a long journey to where I am now with my hair being healthy, strong and beautiful. I took the plunge last summer and made my hair tbe color it is today and I have not regretted it! In the coming weeks, on a Wednesday, I will feature the various hair-looks I have had in the last four years , oh boy, has it been many!! A gentleman in my office often compliments my hair and marvels at the variety of looks my hair can do!lol!  I have to say I agree with him. I have twisted, blown out, curled, and worn up-do's. I sometimes wear hair accessories too, why not have fun with my 'Fro? !   :-)   .

One of the most favorite "go-to" hairstyle for women of most cultures is the ponytail.   It is a look that is loved by so many because it is easy to do.  You can wear your hair up high; down low, side-swept, in a bun, twisted, or with a part, or not!   It doesn't matter how you do it curvy divas , short of cutting your hair off, a ponytail is one of the best way to wear your hair for summer!

I don't know what it is curvy divas , just as much as I love stripes, I'm drawn to red hair like a moth to the flame! I absolutely LOVE RED Hair! Not just any red, my favorite red heads are of the copper-toned and deeper red-hued variety!  Ever since I grew up and could color my hair, as I loved to do even when I was wearing straight hair, my color choice would be a shade of red. Now that I am wearing my hair in it's natural (non-relaxer) curly state, I still do color, and I often opt for... RED !  I have been in search of that shade of red that will give my hair the oomph that I want to have.  My latest shade of red have received some complements and it's a color I have used again and again over the last two months. My hair color is a reddish-brown combination and works well for now! I read Marie Claire magazine online and they featured copper toned red hair in a recent article entitled "To-Die-for Copper Hair" , showcasing a number of celebriti...
