Rihanna Inspired Side Shaved Full Wig

The shaved side hair trend has been seen on stars such as Cassie, Rihanna and many more. For those of us who enjoy the trends, but do not want to cut our hair (or shave) ISIS Collection (red carpet premier) made a full wig that can give the sleek cut inspired by Rihanna and the long luxurious waves we hope for with this hair style.

Key points:

• Hair is synthetic
• Hair is heat resistant futura fiber so it can be curled

Straight out the box the hair is soft and seems easy enough as it is a plop on and go kind of wig. However, I did find a few cons:

• Cap was seemed a bit small. I had to pull my natural hair down as best I could to make it not look bulky.
• There was some tangling as I ran my fingers through the longer hair.

However, here are some pros to the hair:

• It's a full wig so no blending
• No combs so there is no worry of snagging

All in all, it's a great wig to have if you are looking to switch things up.

Gabby Douglas' Hair: Is it THAT serious?

As if winning a GOLD medal at the Olympics wasn't a big enough achievement, the "Black Crab Syndrome" has kicked in and persons are chastising a young athlete for her hairstyle. It all started on Twitter where spectators were giving her a hard time saying her hair was rather "unkept."

What ever happened to watching the competitor, and not watching her hairline? What happened to hoping she "sticks" her landing and not what type of gel she needs to slick her hair down?

Gabby Douglas is a beautiful girl and her abilities should over shadow everything else. There are girls out there walking around with $300 weaves, but cant spell the word "Olympic." But hey, we live in a very vain society. What we do will never really matter to how we look or what/who we are wearing. I wish Gabby Douglas the best in her professional career and that she blossoms into a beautiful, successful young lady.

-And that's all I have to say about that.

Favorite Hair Tools

Since I've been natural, I have come to love a number of tools that help me in my daily, weekly and even monthly hair care routines. My advice for buying any hair tool is to make sure it's comfy and also that it will not damage your hair in any way.

Hair clips, and funky had bands are my go-to accessories for adding pops of color to my hair styles. These are easy to apply and don't snag my hair.

These are my STAPLE hair tools! I enjoy them the most. All (except the bobby pins) are Goody brand products. The Spin Pins (upper right) are great for keeping buns in place (tutorial below), and my Goody brand Soft Flexible Clips (bottom center) are great for keeping hair out of my face. 

The Goody hair elastics have no metal bands so they do not damage my hair via snagging, and I also make sure my bobby pins have the little "bubble" on the end so as not to snag my hair as well. 

My final tools help me the most on wash days. The Denman brush is great for smoothing and detangling. Soft head bands, mostly in cotton or satin fabrics, help to keep my hair out of my face and my edges covered and controlled. The hair sectioning claws or clamps (left) help to section my hair during wash day so that I can effectively clean my hair.

Here is the Goody Spin Pin Tutorial and Review

So, see any tools that you use already or would like to know more about?
