What Are You Doing With Your Hair for New Years Eve!?!??
NYE always always always sneaks up on me and whaddya know!?!? It’s tomorrow. I have no plans, just a lot of options and a desire to 1. look cute (duh) and 2. do something memorable. I obviously have a bit more control over the first thing, because you never know what will happen on New Years in SF (my last one in the city resulted in me hosting a house party during which my front door broke and everyone got locked INTO the party. Talk about interesting!)
So let’s talk about New Years hair. Dramatic. Sparkly. Big. Fun. are all words that come to mind when I think about what I’d like to do with my hair. My Damn Fade is nothing if not dramatic and big and fun when its loose, so it looks like I’ve gotta add some sparkle to it. I’ve been trolling the interwebz for some hairspiration pix, but I thought I’d ask YOU my dear naturalistas what YOU’RE doing with your hair to ring in the holidays. Send me your hairspiration pix AND/OR snaps of your actual style then I’m going to post a gallery of all the haute #naturalnewyear hair sent in next week. Here’s how you can send me your shots:
- Email me at cassidy[at]naturalselectionblog[dot]com
- Tweet them to me @naturalsblog with the hashtag #naturalnewyear
- Post them to my FB wall at facebook.com/naturalselectionblog
I can’t wait to see all your gorgeousness! In the meantime, here’s a few pics that I’ve been digging up to get your creative styling juices going!
- Adding in a sparkly accessory to top of big loose curls
- A french twist–>bouffant–>loose side swoop curls. I think this one is ripe for Lola’s taking!
- A big ballerina bun for locs and twits. Better yet, remember ChescaLeigh’s Holiday bangin bun tutorial? Give that a whirl!)
- A textured TWA for those with close cropped cuts (super easy to do by putting conditioner on wet hair and swirling a flat palm in circles to create a textured style and pattern)
- Mae of NaturalChica’s pinned up ‘do with big curls and lots of gold!

I will be rocking my protective style of choice, my fierce black wigs with the red streaked swooped bang. Mimi, my hair is on a break
