Bailey’s Big Chop | Toddler Regimen
We all have a niche or two, right? Well, hair has always been mine… I started doing my own hair sometime around the tender age ten. Yes, ten. It was the best decision for our household as I did not like my mom doing my hair. Kids know so much, don’t they. I did…

Style Diary: Nikita
I don’t really have a story about my style journey. I mostly put on what I see first when I open my drawer or closet, or in the midst of tumbling I go, “BINGO! Clothes sorted out”. I was born and raised in Guyana, South America and came to the U.S. when I was 11…

Style Diary: Shaquoya
It was hard at first to become natural because I loved weave and perms. But I got tired of paying 100s of dollars for hair, plus [the time it takes] to get it done…what I love about being natural is YOU being YOU! There is nothing added. It’s your hair. Instagram: naturally_teal Want to…

My HAIRspiration for the day: My blow out/pin up
