Hey Guys!
Happy Thursday!!!
Hope you enjoyed Valentine's Day ;)
I had a delicious meal for lunch, watched a fun romantic movie, got some lovely personalised presents and chilled with my boyfriend and brother. How did you spend your day?
These pictures were taken in January when we had a family photoshoot and got a professional make up artiste and hair stylist to work their magic.
The shoot was a Christmas Present from my Siblings and I to my parents, it might just become a yearly tradition
Remember my Kinky Her Given Hair from this post, well, that's what was used to create this voluminous beautiful afro puff.
Ellena of Natural Hair Rocks used a mixture of Flaxseed Gel, White Eco Styler and ORS Edge Control to lay down my edges and then she attached the Natural Hair Extensions to my hair. I wanted her to style the hair with a quiff but my sister suggested this sleek, sophisticated, classy style and I'm so glad I listened to her.
I have 2 Bundles of the Kinky hair, one is 18 inches while the other is 20 inches. I got the wefts but if this is the sort of style you would like to do with the hair, the clip ins might be easier for you.
These pictures were taken by my sister with my camera but I felt they weren't popping enough so I read a lot of articles on retouching faces and tried my best to improve the raw images, what do you think?
Food Photography is my comfort zone but I just might try my hands on other types of photography because I truly enjoy making magic ;)
I also enjoy modelling too :D
I edited the pictures in different ways, let me know which picture is your favourite.
If you want to get this hair from Her Given Hair, use the coupon code TUKE to get 5% off & a free Headband :D
Also make sure you write my Blog name or Instagram Handle as your referral channel.
Some people think this should be signature hairstyle, what do you think?
Remember that no problem is too big to be solved, it just takes time, diligence, persistence and a bit of grace & favour :)
Enjoy my video's of the week :)
Remember to do unto others as you would like them to do unto you!
Gurl, you look so so fine! This hair and makeup suites you so so well!

Thank you Stylish Doctor!
DeleteYou should try it out even if it's just to see your Natural Texture and how beautiful it is.
Once you understand your hair, you will be able to create a regimen that works for you.
Wawu, I saw a photo you posted in the natural hair babe group on Facebook, and I was like, this girl will not kill us with shades of awesomeness. The photos are awesome and I think this low bun could he a signature style, you look good when you play with that style ( from the burial ceremony pictures of your hm). The photos are great once again, you skill is good and crisp.
ReplyDeleteBTW,please could you follow back on IG (dee_iromi), thank you.
