New Hair and Naturally Glam for 2014

When it comes to my hair I am constantly changing my look. One reason is because I am a Hairstylist and I love reinvention of hair and fashion. Another reason is because I am always looking for something fly, sexy and that I can wake up looking the same way. I enjoy having low maintenance hair. I, like most of my clients also like workout friendly hair. So after my gym visit last night I decided to spend the time and create this look that I have been envisioning for some time now.
Two hours and a episode of Martin:) a masterpiece was created. here are some quick selfie shots of my new creation. I call it “Textured Fusion Latching” which takes 2.5 hours to complete.It is one of the best “protective styles” that I have had thus far. The shampoo, condition treatment, added hair, style and shaping are included. The intro rate for this style is 175.00. It last for 8 -10 weeks with bi-weekly maintenance. This style can be done in a large array of shapes like an inverted bob fro, short and long layers, textured pixie fro, and tapered fro hawks etc.

The Creative

Last night I watched Kanye on the Jimmy Kimmel show. I am tired of seeing Kanye in certain situations, as I am sure he is tired as well. In a nut shell, I really respect what he was saying. I respect it because I am a creative. I am a hairstylist slash slash slash. I am at my best when I am able to innovate and create. I have made a film, decorated homes, designed clothes, jewelry and style. I even design the food I prepare and cook.
I believe that we should stop putting ourselves in a box! Do what makes your heart beat. Learn to please yourself instead of everyone, even if you are in the back of the class by yourself. Sing, dance, love, create and be naturally radiant!

Back to School

Back to School.

When enough is enough!

I have been preparing to blog on the first of the year more consistently. I made this decision back in October when I realized that I didn’t have the time, and sometimes the right content. I didn’t want this blog to be a haven for celebrity news and nonsense. I wanted Doing it Her Way to be a Movement towards enhancing lives. The one thing about enhancing lives is that you must enhance your own life! Being a salon owner/stylist, wife and mom often leaves me depleted of energy for myself. I have no new years resolutions, however I have decided to let go of these extra pounds piled on from a number of things like being a full time student on top of all of the hats I already wear.
My knee has had some fluid on it for over a year now.it would swell after I has been working in the salon or standing excessively. After having my knee drained and a MRI and no exact diagnosis, I knew exactly what I needed to do….it was past time for me to loose weight. 5’3. and 175 pounds masked very well had to go.
I have made the choice to Do it MY Way as it refers to MY HEALTH. I am a successful business owner, happy wide and mother, and a candidate for Spelman College 2013 graduate class. This blog will document the journey of truely being naturally radiant inside out. I will focus on hair, as it relates to working out etc. I will feature clean food recipes, workouts, natural hair options while working out, hair and akin products and everything else you would need to progress forward towards being the best you!
One day at a time,

Seasons Change

There are many reasons to like the fall season. In addition time being born on the fall, I also like all the rust, yellows and green colors that cover the trees. The trees changing colors are a sign of change which is good. Change is not easy and sometimes feels anything but good, but as nature shows us it is necessary. I challenge you to be like nature and allow change to happen on your life, at least seasonally which is quarterly. Change your hair, add a new color to your home or wardrobe. Things things can enhance your life and recharge your energy.
