Though they’re EXCELLENT protective styles,  the ‘up do’ have always been a favorite of mine.  I like switching up  my hair sometimes because most of the time this THICK LONG CURLY HAIR OF MINES just hangs after doing a half hour to hour blowout  ( not fond of my God Given curls which is sacrilege I know ).   I usually rock my hair  looking between the 1970′s early 80′s Chaka and THE BOSS Diana  style -wild, flowing and free aka BED HED.  Though it may take up to three hours, sleek  up do’s are well worth it for me to rock from time to time. 

Not only are the ‘up do’s elegant, they are very versatile. Ponytails, love them! As the season progresses, I shall have some cool vitamin cocktails for the hair I want to share, along with  some cool moisturizing souffles I want to share with you all via deja post and on my online talk show that resumes next month.  Though I don’t rock my curly hair much, I shall be curly possibly a week out the month or two weeks out the month  as we move closer to winter. Though I say it’s my DIVA  LOOK, let me stop the frontin – LOL  

As soon as this hair is washed after  rocking my faithful blowout, it curls up.  I put on a good amount of leave in conditioner that moisturizes my hair, shape it as it does the shrinkage and that’s it.  It is easy to maintain, so it’s more LAZY LOOK than DIVA LOOK because the curls surprisingly are easier to keep up.  I have to blowout my hair every three days to keep me from looking like CURLYLOCKS  ( my sense of humor is off the Richter scale ) especially if I am in Florida where humidity is ooh.  Other states/cities on the east coast like ATL,GA, Charlotte, NC, SC VA, DC, MD, PA etc leaves my hair dry but not as bad as like the mid-west.  The west coast depending on where I am leaves my hair dry like the east or pretty much humidified like FLORIDAHHHHHHHH.  

A good friend of mine had brunch with me a few weeks ago before moving from NYC to LA to continue flourishing with her magazine and screenplays. She’s always had a thick mane of beautiful hair.  Just seeing the cute curls, how she maintains healthy hair too had me sitting there saying as we finished brunch with red velvet cupcakes, “Bebe… rock your curls more girlie.”  Bebe is an ADVOCATE for  women maintaining the EDGES of  their hair not being BALD around the EDGES.   The disappearing act of edges happens as women rock extensions caring more about the hair they purchased than their own.  Everyone is not blessed with a head full of hair so rock your extensions but maintain healthy hair no matter the hair type or length.  The code, maintain healthy hair chicas.

I plan on rocking a few up do’s.  They’re cute, flirty and if done right they can have a wicked flair of dominatrix ( wink ).  More post to come.  Love talking hair, sharing and hearing what you have to say should you leave a comment at the DEJA.  Here’s a few styles to enjoy.
