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. Check out my inspiration shots below and how you can send me your pix for my #naturalnewyear gallery

So the Nzuri show was great and I’ve got hundreds of pictures and vids to edit and organize, but first things first: LOLA HAS A NEW LOOK.

I’ve had Damn envy for months since meeting the Damn Salon ladies in February. A couple weeks ago I facebooked Mushiya (founder and owner of the Damn Salon) with this message:

This was especially the case last Friday evening when I hit the town in fully vintage-inspired look. I’ve been loving the tv show PanAm, and a large portion of that is because their clothing and make up is absolutely gorgeous. I love the luxe style and glamour that is achieved with relative simplicity. The key to doing this in make up is to have a strong brow, bold top liner, and a strong, colorful lip.

Last Friday I hopped on a little jet plane and headed northward for Seattle Eco Glamour, a skin-hair-beauty event hosted by Tonya of NewNaturalista.com, Sherrell of OrganicBeautyVixen.com, and Kim Roxie of Lamik Beauty. I was welcomed with open arms by the lovely naturalistas of Seattle and spent the evening learning about skincare from AloeforMocha, eyebrow tips from Lamik Beauty, sipping on chardonnay from O Winery, and chatting with the owner of Seattle’s only natural hair salon – The Good Hair Salon!
