Hey Nubians!

"Invest In Your Hair Because It's The Crown You Never Take Off"
A lot of people have been complimenting my hair lately and asking where I get my color done which is super nice. I've used a large variety of products throughout the years but lately I've been sticking to mainly Aveda products and Aveda Color. I've been getting my hair colored a nice lavender shade and dark brown by my friend/senior stylist Maria at g Aveda Salon & Spa at Downtown Summerlin in Las Vegas. She's a super sweet heart. The type that talks to you about your life, dances while she mixes color ha ha she's great. 

My hair has gone through quite the journey to get to this happy place...

At some point in time my hair ended up looking like this photo below. It was a half blonde or I guess you can say blondish color and half dark brown. I was trying to slowly go platinum but decided to give up on that journey for now and focus on my hairs health after seeing some breakage.


A big perk with my color in particular is that it has faded very nicely as well. It looks like a silver kind of color now and I plan to keep it that way for a while. 

Thanks to those of you have kindly complimented my hair. If you have any questions, leave them in the comment box below.

There has been a fun new hair trend floating around on the internet lately, glitter hair! More like glitter roots actually. I myself wouldn't rock it during the day, but I think it's super fun and flirty for night life and partying. A good trend to kick up your beauty & hairstyles up a notch. I also believes it plays off your natural hair color growing out against your hair dye.

Cool Hair, Don't Care!

Hello my dears! I wanted to give you a quick peek at my new hair. I'm so excited about it. It's fun, fresh and unique. I was in the mood for something new and I had given my hair a little break from bleaching (my natural hair was already by my ears). Keeping you hair healthy is extremely important. My amazing sister-in-law Kaori knows how to do wonderful things with hair dye and she told me to think about what I wanted and let her know.

Thinking about what you want to do to your hair can be quite difficult...

Ok... so this isn't a life or death problem but it's something to think about. You don't want to walk around with something you don't like on top of your head! I searched the internet for hair and color inspiration and Kaori sent me a lot of photos too. There's so much rad hair colors and cuts out there... maybe I'll make a post of some of my favorite looks soon. After thinking for a while I still didn't really make a choice but decided to head to Sally Beauty to pick out some dye. I ended up buying ION hair dye because they're one of my go-to brands.

I picked up the semi permanent color Shark Blue and permanent High Life Ash Blonde and Blue Black. After that Kaori worked her magic and we ended up going with half of my head Blue Black, and the other half in Shark Blue on the bottom and half Blonde and Blue Black on the top.


This is a difficult job to do. You have to be careful when working with light and dark colors together. The dark color could easily bleed on to the blonde. You have to work in sections and wash and dry the hair separately in the beginning. Better safe than sorry.

Then BOOM! It was done. I'm smitten with the results and can't wait to style it more. It was time for a change.

How about you? Anyone planning to make any crazy hair changes soon? 

Hello My Beautiful Nubian Queens and Kings!

Hairstyle can very much make or break an outfit sometimes... seriously, have you ever noticed that? If you have an a gorgeous outfit but your hair looks BLAH, none of your photos will come out looking good I guarantee it! Nice cool hair is absolutely something you should always keep up with.

During Spring/Summer braids seem to be quite the lifestyle. For the most part braiding is easy and if you don't know have to make a specific braid, you can view one of the thousand tutorials up on YouTube (sheesh even I have some HERE). Also, a lot of braids can add cool texture to your hair and quite frankly they're just very fun!

Below see some photos for your viewing pleasure and inspiration of some of my favorite braids for this season.


Cage Herringbone Braid.

Hey Nubians,

Lately I've been running around a lot so my hair was pretty busted. I let my roots grow out WAY TOO LONG and was hiding them the best that I could by styling my hair certain ways.

I moved to Vegas from NYC for a while and couldn't fly back in time to visit my amazing stylist from the The Pewter Club Barber Spa in Jersey. Luckily my friend Jasmin know another amazing stylist right here in Vegas and she did Magic on my hair!

I've been trying to go back to a nice bleach blonde and I'm almost fully there which is such a relief! Even though I totally loved my RED phase, it stained my hair a lot and was hard to get out.
