It happens to the best of us. We return to our natural texture, get excited about products, hairstyles, the whole gambit and then we hit this… plateau where we we’ve lost the creativity we once had or maybe we lack the energy, time or even the desire, for that matter, to deal with our hair. What’s a girl to do? How do you climb out of this rut?! Here are four suggestions: Try a Protective Style Going this route will not only shake things up a bit by giving you a new look, but if time is a factor for you, not having to style your hair daily will allow oodles of time to focus on whatever it is you need to take care of. An added benefit is that leaving your hair alone for a while will allow your hair to grow undisturbed. Recently, I’ve been rockin’ easy breezy roll…

Matinée movie date with the hubs… work immediately afterwards. I finally dug my Pro-Keds out from under the bed a couple weeks ago. I had been rocking my very serious, good-for-your-feet running sneakers at work (lots of standing and walking involved in my job) but I thought it was about time I break out the fun kicks. Scored these puppies at the no longer existing Daffy’s department store some years back. Of course, that isn’t what I went for but I couldn’t pass up the deal, especially since they were the last pair in the store and in my size. They were waiting for me! 😉 Fast forward a few years and I find myself in Target picking up some basic tees and wuddyaknow?! They’ve got a tee to match my sneaks! Tuh-HA! All ya need is a good pair of jeans and BOO-YA! Outfit done. p.s. Guardians of the…

I give you fair warning… my thoughts may be a bit all over the place in this article, but I’m gonna try to get this point across as best as possible. Last week, we talked about the dangers of comparing your hair journey to that of others. A couple days after posting, a friend of mine shared an article with a related topic from a slightly different angle. I thought it would be a good followup. The topic? Naturals getting up in arms about the changes popular vloggers made to their hair. O_O #iCant As was mentioned last week, admiration is all good in the hood. I follow a number of vloggers myself and it’s nice to check in on ’em to see what they’re up to every so often. It becomes an issue when one begins to pay SO much attention to and get so wrapped up in someone…

I kinda do a little dance when I discover a natural beauty with amazing style. Blogging and social media have surely connected me with quite a few fly chicks along the way. Please add this cutie pie to the list! Meet this month’s Natural Fashionista… Hey lovers!! I’m Vic Styles. I live in LA by way of Alabama & DC. I’m a full time wardrobe stylist, fashion blogger and, of course, a naturalista. How long have you been wearing your hair in its natural state and what made you decide to take that step? I have been natural my entire life. My mother never put a relaxer in my hair and I honestly had no knowledge about chemically processing my hair. I just knew this was how it grew out of my head so this is what I have to work with. What do you love the most about your…
