NEW YEAR NEW HAIRCARE

The new year is here and the resolutions are set.  For me, becoming more consistent with my beauty and health regimen is a top focus for me in 2016. Eating right, exercising more and simply looking and feeling my best this year is amongst my top 10 resolutions.  As women, we all know that good hair days make us feel like we can take over the world. Lately, I have been faithfully rocking my Kerri Alston clip in extensions for some added fullness, length and a little splash of color. With clip ins, 100% of my natural hair is exposed so it's extremely critical for me to keep my hair healthy and hydrated at all times.

Moving from fall to winter is so tough on my hair, so transitioning from warmer weather to those cold brisk days means switching up the hair care routine.  On the hunt for a new winterized line for my increasingly dryer winter hair, my recent introduction to the Alterna Haircare line couldn't be better timing. When the Alterna Team invited me to try the line for myself, I was excited and ready for some hair play. The minute I read about this line I was intrigued by their Pure, Proven and Professional approach to hair care.  All of their products are formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates or synthetic color.  So what do you get when you take some of the best ingredients for thick, luscious, healthy hair and put them together to create a forward thinking, innovative haircare line? You get Alterna Haircare.

GOLDEN LOCKS

 As a busy girl always on the run, I obsess over low maintenance hair care routines and natural light-weight products that won't weigh my hair down.  Whether I'm rocking my natural hair or extensions, I want my hair to look and feel silky and shiny but the health of my hair is most critical.  I've been on the hunt for a while now for a natural product line that would give both my hair and extensions a little pick me up.  Thanks to the Hennasi product line, I think I found my match!!  My two newest go-to products are their Thermal Protect Silk Smoothing Serum and Signature Silk Elixir of Oils.  I love that the serum is smooth, conditions and nourishes my hair all in one with no residue build-up.  It glides on easy and is great for daily frizz and humidity control -- something I'm currently battling in this Atlanta heat.  The Elixir of Oils is the ultimate in oil combinations, containing soybean, sweat almond, coconut, avocado, jojoba seed, safflower seed, wheat germ and sunflower oil.   The oil protects my hair from free radicals, heat damage and moisture loss.  I apply in the evening right before bed to work as a deep scalp treatment.

CALVIN

Men are from Venus and women are from Mars but style, that's universal! Women in menswear has been a mainstay in the world of fashion and we wanted to experiment with the idea a little. Pushing our style boundaries, we rocked crisp white Calvin Klein button downs copped from the men's section of Nordstroms for this simple chic studio shoot.  Inspired by timeless pieces, the classic white dress shirt is a closet staple, we just dipped in the men's wardrobe for this look.  Dare to rock menswear?
