I LOVE MY HAIR!!!
I feel…
PRETTY!
GIRLY!
CURLY!
I’m IN LOVE with the dimensions of color in my hair as well as the health and length of it!! Wait until you see it blown out!
In truth I was terrified.
Color is a game of chance.
I searched FOR WEEKS to locate a salon and colorist that was:
- Customer-focused instead of celebrity-driven
- Black-Women Owned (keep that dollar circulating amongst us!)
- MASTERFUL at color, cuts, and hair care.I’m growing my natural hair out and learning how to take care of it as well as setting up regular appointments with my Colorist so my hair grows healthy and strong with color.I figure if I can grow my business I can grow my hair.
Here’s a fun short video of my new do! https://fb.watch/k2k7sHH5g5/?
mibextid=qC1gEa I knew I wanted a “wash n go” lifestyle so I can crush it at the gym. I also knew I wanted my hair color to be something I loved and wouldn’t get bored with over time. Lastly, I wanted to evolve my brand “Hot Mess Millionaire” and style.
I will be dropping a new masterclass about monetizing your mess soon. I will be doing a new photo shoot with my natural hair. I wanted a new look that was livable instead of defaulting to braids or faux locs.
I wanted to feel pretty with my own hair.
I prayed on it and felt good about coloring it but didn’t know what color.
My colorist and I looked at TONS of photos! I kept oscillating between red and blonde. One of my colorist’s amazing team members suggested I check out “golden ginger.” When I saw the mixture, I was like, “that’s it!”
I found a photo of a short tapered cut with golden ginger color, and felt ready to committed to this evolved blonde look!
I came in the week before color to have my hair shaped so it “falls” as it grows out. I had a collective hair treatment followed by steam treatment so my hair was healthy and optimized the color.
(I will include photos of the entire color process in a following post.)
Once it was all done, I LOVED IT!
This had to be the BEST experience I have EVER had in my LIFE with a stylist!! Nerdish Brands SLAYED my custom color and cut!!! I was soooooo taken care of!
The Nerdy Colorist was patient, funny, and VERY educational! Her team was absolutely AMAZING!
It’s nice to feel pretty.
AND it’s great to feel good.
AND it’s also a blessing to trust a colorist with my sense of self as I ground even more in God.I knew I was evolving. Now I can see it.
I feel like I look like me now.
I love the version of me I am becoming.
God is so very, very faithful…
