It's what I do....

So.... Since Hair is what I do best, why not share it? As you all know, I go to Toni & Guy currently for my operators license, then starting in September, I am thinking about starting the teachers program that is an additional 4-6 months.

Spring is here! Praise GOD! And I would just like to share with you the new spring lines of color and cuts from both TIGI (Toni & Guy) and Loreal Paris, Not just the 'generic' Loreal line that is sold at stores or used in platform artistry.

Cuts:

The Cropped bob
The Pixie Crop
Long Hair
The Bob


The cropped bob, is also know as the graduated bob to us TIGI girls.

The pixie crop, IT is a classic bob but slightly stacked in the back. most ladies are calling it the Victoria Beckham bump or the katie holmes style.

Long hair, however generic, is ofter thought of in the wrong light. Long hair is about to the shoulder blades when your head is up right and all the hair is behind your shoulders.

The bob, I have the bob! ( yay, I'm in this season!) IT is (generally) an all one length round cut that hits right below the chin.

Also this spring season, 'milkman braids' are everywhere! A single braid in the front hair line.

I will post pictures of some of my cuts and some examples of this season cuts and colors.

HAIR HAIR HAIR!!!



As you all know, I am currently a student at Toni & Guy hair dressing academy, and i love it!!! March 18 was our annual hair show. It is out on as a runway fashion hair show. The students (me) select a model and you have to do thier hair, make up and wardrobe, basically everything about them and down to every detail. You can choose to enter one of five catagories: Cut, Colour, Texture, Avante Garde or Modern Man. I was entered in the texture catagory. Essetially, for texture you have to show the maximum texture of the models hair, ie: curls, crimps, perms, wraps and so forth. I chose to do a route tonging curl all over my models head. It took about 5 hours to completely finish her hair, but as you see in the pictures, I only used her natual hair there is no weave or extensions used, amazingly!

I ended up taking first place in my catagory!!!!! Now, I get to head down to Dallas texas in April to compete again in anouther runway show as well have my work published and have a portfolio put together by a paid for professional phtotgrapher!....PINCH ME!

This show was amazing, so much fun and I learned so much about the industry I want to head into!...keep me in your prayers!

Also, thinking about everything just even 6 months ago I would have never in my life thought I would be where I am right now. God is always surprising me! But I love what i am doing and I cant wait to see where I can go next!

Its been too long...

It has been way too long since I have posted! I am busy, but not too busy, we have lives. I don't really know where to start, but recently, Casey and I went down to Lee to visit Jeremiah! It was amazing! I miss him so very badly, and all of his friends are great! Casey will be calling Lee her home in the future so that's just another reason to love it! The drive home was terrible, not because of the drive, just because that we knew we were heading back to, snow, cold, life, and no Jeremiah! But we both made some very good friends and cannot wait for our next trip down!

School is awesome! I absolutely love what I am doing! It challenges me everyday and my hair and nails looks good at the same time, so why would I not like it! haha, lol! Also, I go an 119% on my latest final exam at TIGI, Praise God! Yes, I got the bonus questions!

Speaking of praising God, lately, It really the only thing that makes me feel better. There is just nothing like praising God, jumping around, being undignified and feel completely fulfilled! Ill tell you what, charismatic is where it at y'all! Also, being in the face of the secular world all day everyday is trying, but, praising God, it is honestly the only thing that has kept me sane! LOL!
