THE BOBBY PIN THING!

Image
I have a collection of all kinds of hair  accessories.  This is a necessity when  you've changed hairstyles many times.  I always loved wearing bobby pins even  though this trend has come and gone through the years.  I'm too  old to care about trends. I wear what I lik e!  I even have bobby pins  with gems, animals,  and flowers.  Bobby pins are good to have on hand for  emergencies. They come in handy when  you need to tame loose  strands of hair,  My ponytails and updos have been coiffed with multiple bobby pins.  I saw  a hair  stylist  use bobby pins to add in  extensions to her client's hair. I have  salt  and pepper grey hair now, so I use grey bobby pins.  Colored bobby pins also had flair to  natural hairstyles like afros, braids,  and  kinky twists. I have seen elegant ...

SUMMER STYLES FOR THIS SENIOR LADY!

Image
therighthairstyles.com I like summer, but it's too hot for me to continue  wearing my wigs.   I am learning to embrace my grey hair. Due to my online research,  I saw hair styles  that look good on greyed- hair women!! I have gotten skilled with using faux braiding hair  to create some styles  which cover up thinning  hair.  I tried braiding grey hair but I didn't do a  good  job. The hair became frizzy.  I just buy pre-braided grey hair online. There isn't a lot of choices for grey hair in my area. I gel my freshly shampooed hair smooth.  I make  a ponytail  on top of my head.  Videos showed  that I should tie a scarf tightly around my head  until my hair dries.  I purchased prebraided hair. I secure  end of braid under my ponytail. I wrap  the braid around my ponytail to shape a bun or  knot.  I wear a  headband or scarf ar...

EMBRACE THE GREY!

Image
https://www.pinterest.com I love coloring my hair dark auburn, dark burgundy, and plum  brown.  I wasn't ready to embrace the grey hair yet.  I  became a great in home colorist after I learned what brands of hair  dye worked best for hair type.  My fun with coloring my hair came to a halt 2 years ago.  I had a severe reaction t o the hair dye I had been using  for 10 years!  I was devastated.  I wore wigs in the winter  anyway to give my hair a break from coloring and styling.  I didn't want to see my grey hair during the summer! I prayed, exhaled, and calmed down.  After all, was I a vain woman? I looked on online and watched videos  for alternatives. I discovered that the current trend was young women wearing various shades of grey  hair. This was so ironic.  This old lady didn't  want  grey hair but young ladies were having a ball wearing grey ...

THE ESSENCE OF PERFUME OILS!

Image
I used to sacrifice big money to buy the latest  designer perfume/cologne.  That is, until I wised up. I saw my long lost cousin a few years ago. We were catching up on the happenings in our lives.  He said he was making money selling wholesale designer body oils. He said that the oils smell just like a version of popular costly colognes and perfumes found  in department stores.  He explained that I was  paying for a pretty bottle, catchy name, and  very little fragrance. His company only uses  pure concentrated perfume oils. Only a dab of this perfume oil is needed and it lasts a long time.
