Natural Hair Pixie Cut For the Win

One of the best decisions I made in 2015 was getting my haircut. I didn't know how much energy I was putting into thinking about my hair until it wasn't there anymore.

When I mean to tell you that my haircut has changed my life I'm not kidding.

I was literally living in a ponytail...

I couldn't even find pictures for this post of me with my hair out. All of the pics on my computer have me rocking braids (which I love) or a ponytail. Sad. In 2015 I went back and forth with the idea of cutting my hair. I really didn't want to get a perm so finding a stylist that could cut and style natural hair was very important to me.

After a long search (it seriously took me all year) I found a stylist that I love. She's professional. She doesn't double book and she's very talented. 

It has made a world of a difference for me to no longer be worried about, "What am I going to do with my hair....". When my hair is straight I roll the top in rollers and I wrap the back in a silk scarf at night to sleep. It stays straight until it gets wet. 

I haven't worn my hair naturally curly since getting it cut until yesterday. My birthday is next week so I pushed my hair appointment back to have fresh birthday hair. I washed my hair using Cantu's shampoo and I used Savannah's Just For Me styling products. The results were incredible...

Gosh this post was full of selfies. Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, cutting my hair has been one of the best things I could have ever done for myself. I don't have much time these days to pull myself together and a haircut has made me look & feel pulled together without much effort.

Now if I could just make it to the gym I might be on my way to shutting 2016 all the way down...

Have you made any changes lately that have improved your quality of life? 

30th Birthday Countdown: Makeover Reveal

Did y'all see the Super Bowl last night? The most entertaining thing about it was Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The game was a total blowout. I'm not a Broncos or Seahawks fan but I at least wanted to see a good game. Didn't happen.

Anyway.

In much bigger and voluminous news. I had my hair appointment on Saturday. Remember the Vinuss hair I told you about a couple weeks ago? Well I finally got it installed. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Here is a selfie I took during the process.

And a close up of the ends that I showed you on Instagram…I am in love with the ombre color my stylist created for me.

A view from the back. Again. The color is exactly what I wanted. I love it when a plan comes together...

And here is a screen shot of all the different angels that I kind of stole from the instagram account of my stylist… Hope she doesn't mind!

If you want to see some hair get slayed and laid follow my girl Yama on IG here...

Saturday night before bed I rolled the hair on flexi rods. Below are the results. It was super curly and my hair had so much volume the next morning. Dare I say it… I was gone with the wind fabulous, LOL! Literally. Cause it was pretty windy here on Sunday...

Getting my hair done made me that much more excited for our trip and my birthday. I feel like a new woman. I probably look like one too. My hair appointment went smoothly. Yama is my stylist here in San Antonio. If you are in this area I would suggest calling her for your weave install. She has great customer service and is so polite. I emailed and texted her a bunch and she always responded in a timely manner. Very professional. Yama can be reached on her Style Seat site. I can't say enough about my experience. Not only did I get a new look but I also got some girl talk in too. Great way to spend my afternoon.

As for the hair, I'll be doing a video review as well but let me just say first impressions are everything and so far I am impressed. This Peruvian hair is so full and pretty. I have three bundles installed and it doesn't feel heavy at all. Even after coloring my hair is still super soft and tangle free. It was pretty windy on Sunday and I still didn't experience any tangles or ratchet hair behavior. Love. Love. Love.

So what do you think of my new look? Am I ready for my Flirty30 and trip to Vegas?
