It took me about two full weeks to come to grips with the fact that fall was here… I did NOT wanna let go of summer! October 3rd was probably the first day I actually accepted the change and donned an entire outfit of ‘official’ fall wear, complete with a heavy-ish blazer and riding boots. It’s really, like… an autumn uniform. I trekked over to Harlem’s Lenox Coffee to chat with Ijeoma of Klassy Kinks and did a little tablet photo shoot afterwards… what happens when you leave the SD card for your DSLR at home! We had an awesome time! Here’s the usie to prove it. 🙂 Loading …and that’s a wrap! Was so nice chattin w/ the #bloggerboo @klassykinks! It’s such a BEAUTIFUL day out y’all! Not sure I’m ready to go home yet. ENJOY! #naturalhairblogger #klassykinks #ToBNatural #EMBRACEmag #bloggers View on Instagram I said it before…

FALL IS HERE Y’ALL! Temps are dropping and humidity wanes with each day. Due to these and other factors, many of us find it necessary to switch up our regimen a bit so our hair plays nice with whatever the weather may bring. Here are just a few fall hair care tips to help you make the best of the crisp, cool air that comes with the season. Use Heavier Oils/Butters When I first began wearing my hair in its natural state, I thought using the same oils and things all-year-round would be fine. However, the lighter oils that I used in the summer (grapeseed, sweet almond, jojoba) to seal in moisture didn’t quite cut it in the cooler months. For me, they weren’t a strong enough “defense” against the low humidity air and my hair was feeling drier and drier. What to do?! I switched the game by using some…

I welcome you… with reluctance. Welp, the thing is, October means Autumn which means Winter isn’t far behind which meeeaaannns… brrrrr! Me no likey cold weather. BUT, in order to get to the lovelinesses that are Spring and Summer, we must get through boots, coats and hot cocoa evenings. I do actually enjoy the boots. 😉 That said, I’m gonna attempt to embark on yet another “blog every day this month” challenge, suggested by my girl Shirley over at This Square Peg, which is aptly named Blogtober. I haven’t been feeling the best these past few weeks but let’s see what I can pump out for you guys. This’ll be yet another opportunity to force myself to get writing and think up new content.

Poppin’ in really quick to share this amazing series with you from I Luv Your Hair, a site which I have been contributing to since inception AND has recently celebrated its one year anniversary! It has been a genuine pleasure to work with editor, Tiffany Barnes. This Beauty Talk series that she’s put together is a must watch! If you’re a regular here, you may already be at the point where you are absolutely in love with your natural hair and rock it confidently… orrrr maybe not. In any event, I think this three-part series will give you a little boost whether you’re at one stage in the journey or the other. Enjoy part one below and make sure you click on parts two & three afterwards. Oh, and SUBSCRIBE! 😉 xoxo Toia B.
