Me, My Hair, & the City

I’ve always admired the look of a messy bun positioned on the top of a nicely dressed women’s head.

There is something about a “top knot” that I find wildly chic. To me it says, “I’m polished but, I don’t’ take myself too seriously.”

Ok, I may be reading a little too much into this hairstyle, but since my mane is currently straight I thought I would give the top knot a try.  Read more...

Tuesday night I took an hour and a half out of my self allotted “tv time” to wash and style my hair. I wanted to give any old style a try so I decided on three strand flat twist.

It had been a while since I flat twisted my hair so I was eager to get it done and see my results.

I used the same products and twisting techniques as I had before so I knew nothing could go wrong. I was completely incorrect.  Read more...

As time progresses my hair continues to grow, and, so does my puff.

I love big hair. But, I found myself in a state of awe when I gazed upon the monstrous ball I sported on the top of my head yesterday.

This weekend I blew out my hair, to style it for a blown out twist-out (photos coming soon). Well, hours later I decided to pull my hair into a puff.  Read more...

While looking at my hair Monday I thought: “what parallel universe have I entered?” Really, what is going on?”

I was in a state of confusion because, for some reason, after using the same techniques and products, my twist out results were less than stellar.

I normally achieve the “look” I’m going for in my first day hair. But, for some strange reason, or wierd luck of fate, my first day hair was defined ball of frizz.  Read more...

Last Friday, while sitting at my desk, a male a co-worker came up to me and said, “I like your hair like that Adrienne. You look like Princess Leia.”

Thinking back on my “Sideshow Bob episode“, I laughed and said thank you.

After he walked away, I couldn’t help but wonder how my flat two strand twists looked the same as Princess Leia’s huge buns on the side of her head.

I’m convinced that I am the official recipient of awkward hair comments…  Read more...

Yesterday evening, to get a jump-start on Fashion Week, I made the voyage from Atlanta to New York.

After checking the Weather Channel learning I was traveling into days of rain I decided to reevaluate my hair plans. To prepare my mane for the journey I opted out of wearing it out and wore two strand twist.

I rarely wear two-strand twist as a style. I find them to be beautiful on others but for some reason do not care to sport them myself. So, to camouflage my twists, and protect my hair from the rain and humidity, I covered some of my twists with a black corduroy hat.  Read more...
