ANNOUNCEMENT: I’m having a Live Chat tomorrow and I want you to be there. Be sure to go to the page below at 5:00pm EST tomorrow:

Get your questions ready for the chat and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Now, I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite things to do with my braids when I had them was pull them up into a sloppy high bun (as long as my nape was in check…lol).

I can also remember having to wear my hair like that whenI was in ballet as a little girl. I always thought it was very elegant, classy and very feminine.

Well, guess what? The high bun is back and is one of the most trendiest ways to wear the hair this season! So, let me share some cool tips to help you get this chiclook. Here we go:

1. Shampoo & Condition the hair normally.

2. Apply a bit of Moroccan Oil, or Argan Oil to your hairwhile is wet. Also apply a thermal protector to protectyour hair from the heat of the blow dryer.

3. Blow dry the hair smooth using a blow dryer with a boar bristle brush around the edges.

4. Secure the hair into a tight, high ponytail. If you’re having issues getting all the loose hair to stay up use a little bit of Jam to keep those hairs in place without making the hair look too hard.

Tip: Look up at the ceiling when you pull your hair up to ensure it’s nice and tight.

5. Loosely coil the hair hanging from your ponytail and wrapit around in a circle, then use a bobby pin to secure the ends.

There you have it! It’s quick, easy and something you can do while you’re on your way out the door!

Then all you have to do is throw some mascara, a tad bitof blush, some eyeliner, don’t forget the lip gloss, and you’re done!

It’s definitely a classy, elegant look that can be dressed upor down.

I’m really excited about the trends this season! I’ll definitelybe talking about these trends tomorrow @ 5:00pm EST during my Live Chat.

On this Live Chat you and I get to chat about whatever youwant to talk about. You can ask me questions about your personal hair care, business questions, etc.

I’ve decided to make it free so as many people can join as possible.

I hope to see you there!

Be blessed!

A few months ago I was at the mall in Oklahoma. While I was there I spotted a kiosk in the mall that was offering Lash Extensions and Brow Threading.

My curiosity got the best of me and I had to try them both. I must say I LOVED the Lash Extensions, but hated the Brow Threading because it was so painful! Ok, maybe I have a small tolerance for pain, it wasn’t that bad. LOL!

Don’t forget to share your thoughts. I love to hear what you have to say! Talk to you soon!

You asked and I answered. Since I’ve launched this new site, I’ve been flooded with so many questions about the type of Remy Hair I wear, advice about hair, and my weight loss. I didnt get a chance to answer them all, but I was able to answer some and will be doing more soon! Keep the questions coming!

Share your thoughs! I love hearing what you have to say!

After getting about 1,000 emails asking my thoughts on Chris Rock’s documentary “Good Hair”, I had to go see it for myself. Here’s what I had to say about the movie.

Don’t forget to leave your comment and share your thoughts!

Are you ready to get in shape? I sure was. Over a year ago I started my weight loss journey. It was definitely a struggle, but the past 6 months, I decided to get “dialed in” and focused. I have started seeing results (progress pictures are posted on my Facebook page). I’ve gotten questions from so many of you asking for work out tips, so I decided to film one of my workouts. This was a hard one, but I felt great after it was all over!

Share your thoughts! I can’t wait to chat with you all!

Do you hate your hair? For many years, I hated my natural hair. I was embarrassed to be seen in public without some sort of weave in my hair. In this video, I tell you about my experiences with wearing my natural hair vs wearing a weave. This is a subject I’ve never talked to anyone about.

Let me know how you feel about your hair. I’d love to hear what you have to say!

In the past 6 years, I think the most asked question I get is, “Marquetta, girl what kind of hair do you use for your braids?” In this video, I explain different types of wet-n-wavy braiding hair available and the ones I choose to wear for braids and why.

I want to hear your thoughts! Make sure you leave a comment.

I just finished reading the novel Dead Weight by Batt Humphreys.  I loved the book so much, I called Batt in for an interview.  We talked about a crazy murder in Charleston, the Ku Kulx Klan and more!  Be sure to check it out and leave your comment under the blog.  Enjoy!
