Front Lace Instruction Video



A lace front is a unique wig that is attached directly to the head creating a "realistic" hairline. This is the same hairstyle that celebrites such as Beyonce wear. The video gives you a step by step guide on how to do your own lace front wig using double sided tape or glue.



The last post would let me add the picture so I did it on this one. Sorry its not together!

Micro Braids



This video shows how to do micro braids. The reason I chose this video (with its low quality lol) is because the braider puts the braid upon the edges which are very short. This is the same style I am wearing now. Its a good style to get for those who dont like to do their hair often or who are trying to grow their hair out without damaging it with heat and chemicals.

Here is a picture of my Micro Braids. I have had them up for 2 months and I plan to keep them up another month. These braids can cost anywhere from $75 when you get them done unprofessionally and up to $300 when done by the African hair braiders. Mine were done by Princess at Princess African Hair Braiders shop near Princeton Hospital.

NAILS NAILS AND NAILS!!!!



This is a picture straight from the archives of one of my childhood best friends nail book. Some people may consider these to be ghetto but I think they are plain AWESOME! Everything is done free hand and I look at this like an art. After all, when beauticians do hair shows the styles are always very "extra". This too is a bit much to wear on an everyday level but the artistic skills are definitly there. Shoutout to my friend Lavette Cephus for doing it big. You came a long way girl Do ya thang!!!!


PS
Doing this style of nails gets her $40 per customer and she had bought her first home at the age of 22. No degree, single mom, making it happen. SO PROUD OF YOU!

Booty Pop Commercial




The booty Pop underwear are padded undies that give the illusion that the Butt is bigger and more lifted. That video above argues that it does the same thing for the butt that the push up bra does for the breast. I however feel that these are a stretch. This is beyond false advertising and if you took your pants off and a man seen this... tisk tisk tisk. It would be a big gossip day the following morning about your fake buttox and how flat the real deal is. Ladies I know its easier said than done, but lets try to be oursleves a little more and loose the makeup, fake hair, push up bra's and booty pops..... naaaah. On the other hand lets keep our stupid little manmade treasures that make us feel more womanly. POWER OF THE P LADIES!!!!!!

BH Cosmetics


This 120 color Pallete works wonders. In comparison the my Victorias Secret Supermodel palettet this one passes with flying colors. This one cost the same price, has more colors and last all day without creasing when applied after primer.

 The only plus the VS kit possesses is the fact that it comes with blush, bronzer, and a million other things that sound cool but you'll never use. For thirty bucks Ill take the BH cosmetics palette please!
