Goapele Getting Braided

I saw this vid this morning on Alice in Nappyland and I had to share. Honestly, I have been wanting to do some Goapele inspired braids for a while now. They are so much work - maybe I will do a modified version (larger cornrows) one day.

I pray that god fills the hearts of Malinda's family with COMFORT and that they all find strength in him during this difficult time.

Lauryn Hill

Her hair is still straight:

Thoughts?

I don't want it to appear that I am "picking on" Ms. Hill, I was such a huge fan back in the day and it excites me to see her out and about and looking so relaxed. I hope all is well with her. My thoughts on her hair...She was soooooo fly with locs. The straight look makes her look very average.

Kelis has a new look!

...and I love it!

Check the footwork!

Lauryn Hill

Looks like Lauryn has leaned toward rocking the straight look:

It looks like it maybe a blow out or maybe a pressing comb. IMHO, I prefer Ms. Hill with textures styles or locs. I think they bring out her beauty. However, I am so glad to see her on stage that I will take it how I can get it. We still love you Lauryn!

So, what do you think?

Work it Ms. Scott!

Check out this fly hair on Jill Scott!

I will be copying this style! I have to, I love this look.

My Hair Icon

Since I was a little girl I have always admired Kelis' style and hair, especially the hair. I loved how she was so against the grain and outside of the box. So bold to wear her hair so wild, I adored that boldness.

• When Kelis was 13 she shaved her head completely bald
• “Kelis does not like her hair with any product beyond a leave-in conditioner. So that is one of the reasons for her healthy hair. Everything has to be very clean and hydrating and conditioning. No greases, no silicones; just really gentle hair care” -Dickey
• Kelis was part of the inspiration behind the haircare line Hair Rules
• Kelis doesn’t have a relaxer
• Kelis’s natural hair color is dark brown
• One point during her career Kelis got frustrated that people only wanted to discuss her hair
• Being "Bossy" means to be in control of your own life
• Kelis loves short hair and plans on going shorter.
• Kelis was born and raised in New York, NY

Every time the Obama's step out, THEY STEP OUT. I sooo want to be like Michelle when I grow up! :)
