Hair by PUREOLOGY:

KERRY WASHINGTON, JULIANNA MARGULIES, 

JULIA ROBERTS

Last night's Golden Globe awards wasn't only about the gowns, but hair. While we saw a few slick-backs and a few sleek chignons, the biggest hair trend on the red carpet was undone and natural hair: waves! 

Here we'll see step-by-step "Get The Look", looks on Kerry Washington, Julianna Margulies and Julia Roberts provided by: PUREOLOGY'S Artistic Ambassador Ruth Roche and Pure Artists Sandra Joseph and Angela Noreck.

KERRY WASHINGTON 

Get the Look:

1. Spray damp hair with a volumizer such as Pureology's Pure Volume Instant Levitation Mist.

2. Blow-dry damp hair with a round brush.

3. Use a large iron or big pin-curls heated up with a diffuser, to give the hair added texture and movement.

4. Spray hair with Pureology's Strengthening Control hairspray

5. Run your hands through the hair for a more undone and natural finish.

With the Polar Vortex winding down, I'm sure we all need a day to unwind and have a relaxing bubble bath. Well look at that, today IS National Bubble Bath Day!

It has been said that style is a simple way of saying complex things. Demi Lovato is known for her stylish, edgy, ultra-cool nail wardrobe, that's not just stunning as it is breathtaking, but constantly updated! Demi's "fingertip-fashion" has always fascinated me, so you can imagine how excited I was that she teamed up with The New Black, to launch FIVE nail sets (two 5-piece and three 3-piece): In Love, Safari, Studded, Shattered and Stylized.

Winter-storm Hair & Skin Survival List

Top 7 Winter Weather Picks for Care for:
Curls, Lips, Skin & Hands

Curls, skin and lips must be moisturized and healthy! 

With all this snow, keeping warm isn't the only things on my mind - my hair is. Curl care isn't easy on it's own, without having to worry about hat hair, frizz and even more tangles! I LOVE wearing hats, all year round (I do have bad hair days, duh), so I have to make sure that my curls look great long after my hat comes off. 

Hats & hair go well with me!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

My curly hair is who I am: stunning, wild and free! My hair could be a frizzy wreck and I never do the WALK OF SHAME, but rather I STRIDE WITH PRIDE - it's MY hair! 

Curl~Gurl ALWAYS, never ashamed!

New Year, new GOAL! I am known to NEVER make resolutions (I just don't believe in them, period!) I do however believe in staying true to your word, your beliefs. With that said, my mantra, motto, "way of life" is simple: I don't follow herds (I'm not a farm animal), I like what I like. If 50 people think a shoe is ugly, but I love it - Guess what? I'm going to wear in and proudly parade it, in front of those 50 naysayers! On that note, my CURLS:
