...love of yarn*

Just looking for inspiration for my yarn braids.  

I love that she added white yarn! It's BOLD look!

Lately I've been wearing them in two style -- up piled high on my head or just down... lol!

For the love of yarn braids... (source)

Loving this *retro* look!

The hat gives this look added flavor!

This looks a lot like my staple style when I wear my loose curls!

A french braid look -- the color really makes the braid pop!

I wonder if I can do this with mine?

...is this love*

Okay, I admit it -- I've been in a lovey dovey mood lately.  I might just be reminissing because of my one year anniversary of being married to my best friend.

*gushing* sorry!  But anyhoo... Just I just finished up my yarn braids this week, and feeling very Rastafarian -- I came across this amazing singer, Mara Hruby.  No-- she doesn't have dreads, but she did a rendition of Bob Marley's "Is This Love."  Plus, I love her style and she's a natural -- bonus!

Enjoy...

...Thinking Outside The Box*

Fall is in the air -- and now I'm thinking about protective styling for the winter.
So it's official.  The 90's are making a come back.... I'm thinking box braids this year.

Numerous celebs have been seen spotted rockin' the style this year....

Jada Pickett Smith rocks box braids pretty often...

We're starting to see them more often, especially with Willow's rise to fame for "whipping her hair!"

Brandy brought the style back this year... Braids were all she wore when she made her first debut, and inspired me to wear the style.  I wanted to be just like her!

Solange Knowles -- LOVING the waist length braids she wore earlier this year, but I know it would take FOREVER to get them done...

So, what do you all think? Are you thinking of protective styling for the winter months?
The next BIG task would be to find someone who braids in the "frozen tundra..."

Radical simply means "grasping things at the root."
Angela Davis 

We all know about the Black Power movement that took place in the 1960′s, but would that be considered the true “roots” of the afro itself? 

My favorite afro’s of all time have got to be Angela Davis, Pam Grier, and Diana Ross.

“Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hair stylist you like.”

 

Fusterated -- I decided to pull my hair into a poof with a black piece of satin.
