Gallery of looks!

This is just a compilation of makeup looks that I put together.
Enjoy!

Shambles!

Because I was rushed my hair didnt come out as smooth as I would have liked. That was fine with me because I got to see where i was really at. There is not much damage, however there are a ton of split ends and single strand knots. I bought some scissors and got to work.

The last few inches were so thinned out, I attribute that to the shedding which also lead to breakage.

This is the same thing that I had to deal with a few years ago. Its going to take a lot of hard work to get it back to what it was. I am still at BSL however I am not happy with how it looks. I am going to be doing a ton of protective styles until I get back to where I need to be. Starting with my kinky twists which will be done within the next week or so. :)

The wedding!

So today was a CRAZY one!! I had to finish up someones hair, which did not come out as neat as I would have liked because I was having a terrible asthma attack! I was so messed up but I didn't want to leave her hanging... :P I pushed on! lol

It turned out good & she got a lot of compliments.

Aside from the hair, I was running around like a mad woman and was running way late as was everyone else. The wedding started 2.5 hrs after everyone got there!

So when I got there I got down to business. I did a few of the bridesmaids makeup. The rest did their own or didnt want makeup. The bride had another makeup artist because of the shambles stated previously and because everyone was rushing she thought I wasn't coming. :/ I got there in enough time. To bad I didn't get to do hers cause my girls makeup looked way better than everyone else's.. lol And my girls got the most compliments! The bride said that my girls looked better than everyone in the wedding!

I didn't get hardly any good pics but I will do a tutorial of what I did. The bouquet shown above was an actual bouquet from the wedding. The wedding was beautiful. I loved the color scheme! Its was fabulous! I did the makeup to follow along with the color scheme of the wedding. I did everyones makeup a little different than the last in order to go along with their skin tone, face, and eye shape. Those who had lashes got lashes. They all looked FAB!!

All in all it was a success! The wedding was gorgeous! I was happy to be a part of it! :)

For the wedding

So for the wedding this saturday I decided that I will be straightening my hair out. Its not as rainy as it has been and the temps have dropped. So now i the perfect time! You know, no humidity and no sweating out my hair! Oh yes! lol

So this is what I am going to do!

1. Shampoo & Deep condition the hair overnight with motions cpr
2. In the am do a hot oil treatment with olive oil, rinse
3. Let the hair airdry 90%, then blowdry while holding the hair taught to stretch
4. Apply CHI Silk Infusion and Flat iron.
5. Lastly I will do a silk wrap using some shea butter
6. Leave it wrapped so that it will lay and fall right when taken down!
7. I will finally either trim myself or go & get a hair cut from supercuts or something.

Its kind of a long process but the end results are always worth it! Since my hair has thinned out I really am wanting to see how it looks and if I can tell how much hair I have lost. I KNOW I need a haircut so I might go in tomorrow or saturday morning before the wedding. I just hope that they don't chop too much off.

I'm going to be taking pictures of my hair of the entire process from beginning to end! From deep condition to haircut! I cant wait! I may actually post the pics on this blog for the first time! :P

My shedding is slowing down more and more and is almost back to normal. Finally! I just really want to see how my hair looks straight cause its so very hard to see where I am as a natural with all this shedding. Its damn near impossible! Hopefully its all good for me.

I do have a few inches of new hair that is growing back in that may make it look a bit awkward. You know thick roots, thin ends. Same problem I had before from birth control while I was transitioning out of my texturizer. Another problem is that I have a TON of those single strand knots. The haircut will take care of that. :)

Wedding Party!!

I am doing my cousins wedding this weekend! I am very happy to be a part of it! However some may dought my abilities and assume that I lack professionalism. :P Too bad you don't have to get your makeup done by me! lol But everyone else will look fabulous!!

I have done makeup for people so please believe that I know what I am doing. And what they don't realize is that you do not need to be licensed in order to be a freelance makeup artist.

However, I aside from that I am very excited to be the one doing the makeup! I cant wait! If she says its ok I will most definitely be posting pictures! I'm going to be doing a demo for her tonight and I hope she is as excited about it as I am!! XD

This is my first wedding and hopefully not the last! ;)
