Love:A Curly Engagement Session

 My Fiance and I stuck out 18 degree weather and a crazy Chicago wind chill to take these beautiful photos. Oh, and I must add, I absolutely loved my curls!

Curls: Chic Updo


So months and months ago I was browsing blogs and on CurlyNikii.com a young lady by the name of West had nice pictures and good info on a chic natural updo. Well I was in summer school working on my M.A. and working out (I also played collegiate basketball), and I desperately needed to do something with my hair that did not require much time. Thus, myself and a friend gave this style a shot. Here are some  photos the style:
This is a side and back view

The style was pretty simple. My friend twisted all my hair to the center like a mohawk and twisted the hair all the way to the ends. I just played with the hair and pinned it up all over. There are many ways to wear this style. You're the artist!!! 

It has been a looog time

It definitely has been a long time since I have blogged but all with good reason. I have finished my Masters, started a new job teaching at the college level, and have been planning a wedding. Thus, I had to take a break from Love, Life, & Curls, but I am back now! I have been documenting and experimenting with my hair in many different ways, so I plan to share it all with you! First, I'll start with hair growth. Back in October of this year I straightened my hair, I couldn't help but notice that it grew quite a bit since I last straightened. So here are a couple of pics:

Early 2010

You can see in the second picture that my hair was trying to grow. The sides were a tad bit longer than the middle. In the first picture you can see that my hair began to fill out and grew a few inches.
