Watch your back, Tanika Ray!

Okay, I'll admit it...I am a hair stalker. No, really. I absolutely love Tanika Ray's hair. I watch Extra just to get a quick glance at it from time to time. It inspires me that she has embraced her natural hair texture (and beauty) in an industry filled with Barbie doll look-a-likes and Beyonce wannabees. She rocks this style so well and I have been trying unsucessfully to find anything online about what she does to maintain it...what kind of hair products she uses, where does she go to get it done, what is her hair routine...anything! This style is all about low maintenance fabulosity...and its just what I need in my life right now. Really, how cute is she?

Hair Hell Week

I have been battling my hair for about a week now and I am on the losing end. One of the problems is, that I have a multitude of textures on my head. Not quite straight, not quite curly...entirely frustrating. I don't have a relaxer, but I do fry the hell out of my hair to get it to do whatever style I'm feeling at the moment. And two months ago, I was feeling the "china doll" bob that Rihanna has recently made famous again. So, I chopped my hair into a similar style and rocked it until I got tired of the daily fry sessions with my flat-iron...*sigh* I mean, really, who has that kind of time?

So, I guess it really is time to face the music and try to make peace with my hair. Between running back and forth to work, school and trying to make time for daily exercise and studying, my hair really is the least of my priorities. I have been thinking about giving it a rest and trying out a cute braided 'do for awhile..besides, I'm running out of cute hats to wear to work.
