Five Ways to Jazz up your Natural Hair for Summer!

Summer is here and that means its time to not only update your wardrobe but to also update your natural 'do! Now there's no need to run out and get a new color or cut because I'm bringing you five ways to jazz up your natural hair with fun and sassy accessories for the summer!

1. Turbans

We all know I have a not-so-secret love for the ever-thriving turban trend. They're the perfect, stylish solution for a lazy hair day and look fabulous on top of locks, twists, fros, you name it!

2. Scarves

I believe scarves are the best hair accessory for natural hair as they're just so versatile! Tie it into a head wrap/band, create an over-sized bow, use it to make your own turban, the possibilities are truly endless :) In addition there is such a variety of colors and prints you're guaranteed to find one that expresses your individual style.

3. Hats

Some naturals may shy away from hats, but it shouldn't be considered an impossibility! While they do tend to work better with shorter hair(as the hat will actually sit on your head) don't think just because you have a fabulously, fluffy fro that you can't rock a summer hat. Use bobby pins or attach a hair comb to the inside to help pin the hat to your curls. No more fearing those windy days!

4. Over-sized Flowers

What says summer more than bright, bold, beautiful flowers in your hair? Pluck them fresh from a bouquet or stock up on various pins & clips. They're so inexpensive and add a feminine & flirty touch to any 'do!

5. Statement Jewelry

There's nothing better than some statement jewelry to set off your natural look! Whether it's door-knocker earrings, over-sized hoops, or bejeweled studs, this accessory works for all hair lengths!

How To: Add Pops of Color to Your Winter Wardrobe, Day 2

Why hello there! Welcome to the second entry for my first outfit series - how to add pops of color to your winter wardrobe. Today we're going to look at how to incorporate a winter accessory I love (as seen by this post here) - Scarves!

The thing I love about scarves is how they're so simple, but they can be the one thing that makes an outfit. Like my coats I have scarves in many different colors and patterns, so let's get started!

Similar to yesterday, if you're not the kind of person who is comfortable with playing with colors then keep the base of your outfit simple, so the color you do use really shines.

A classic white shirt, denim, and booties create a great backdrop for a statement making scarf...

Another simple and fun way to brighten your winter 'fits! And if you're interested in wearing your scarf in different ways check out Wendy from Wendy's Lookbook Youtube video, 25 Ways to Wear a Scarf in 4.5 Minutes, that's where many of my scarf tying ideas come from :)

Hope you enjoyed reading and make sure to check out yesterday's how-to where we talked about colorful coats!
