find the "bad girl" in you and go goldilocks


Hello My Little Furballs, lol

Welcome back to the HairyKat Chronicles , I''ve been feeling a little dull and a little safe with my looks latetly and needed to unleash my inner bad girl. Too bad my hair has to suffer through these phases.


Anywho, with summer being around the corner I figured why not try a new color to get me summer ready. I've had almost every hair color but never the blonde. This hair I'm working now is more gold than blonde but its working for me.


I knew I wanted a short do' but I'm always nervous about it because I have such huge boobs lol. I can kind of hide them behind longer hair but when my hair is short their just there! I know I know its all in my head...they're there all the time LOL


But at 27 its time to be confident about my mind body soul and hair no matter what color it is or how it looks. There's no greater feeling than a makeover though and this one was drastic.

I went and saw my favorite little salesperson Sue over at Lux Beauty Supply. I went cheap and mixed hair brands...typical me, yaw should know how I roll by now.


For technique I used a little over half a pack of Bobbi Boss straight hair color #27  for the top I used Milky Way's #30 ( entire pack), both 10 inch.

After I weaved the hair in I broke out my scissors and razor comb and started shaping my new do'.  I wrapped it after  the cutting was complete to keep it straight. 

I was a little nervous about how bright it is but paired with cute simple earrings and my favorite pink lipstick...my inner bad girl is alive and kicking....

Really quick though: let's not forget the rules of going light:

#1. Dark ass eyebrows are a no-no! If you use eyebrow pencil like myself, you might want to transition from black to brown...but pls whatever you do DO NOT BLEACH YOUR EYEBROWS either!

#2. Make sure the color you pick matches your complexion. Any comment I make after that rule would be rude so just make sure you're not making a fool of yourself!

#3. Your clothes will now have to match your hair! lol unfortunately blonde hair on women of color especially us caramel mochas to milk chocolates stands out so your clothing colors honestly should be a little more subtle than your hair.

#4 Just have fun with it. Its just hair and can be changed! #Fact!

Take a look at my results and a few of my favorite celebs rocking the blonde!


Muah!

How did the Cookie Crumble? My take on Empire

Image
The show Empire premiered tonight on Fox. It stars Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. Terrence plays a music mogul Lucious working to build an Empire/Legacy for his children while being troubled by the transgressions of his past one of which, is Taraji's character, Cookie, his ex-wife being released from jail after doing 17 years on his behalf. He also struggles with the present state of his health ( btw please no ice bucket challenges for fictional characters! he has ALS), which is the driving force behind his ambition of creating a legacy for Empire. Veronika Bozeman gave us the opening vocals as an Empire Artist, and boy was it beautiful, even when she was made to sing it over! I found the show to be entertaining although I couldn't help but feel like it was a continuation of the movie Hustle Flow lol. I kid. Kind of, I think it was Terrence Howard's hair! But in all seriousness I'm elated to see so many shows starring African-American casts,...

Papa Scoob - Taking the Game into Overtime

Image
Its Overtime is The Official Mixtape release from Papa Scoob presented by the Outerspace Musik Group. Papa Scoob is an East Oakland Native/ Berkley raised lyricist, that has been gracing the music scene with his impeccable lyricism for the past ten years. The Its Overtime mixtape is filled with dynamic flows and metaphors over some of the top 100 billboard tracks with the incorporation of some interludes that capture the most pivotal overtime moments in recent sports history, symbolically signifying Scoob's resilience to the sport of the music grind and shaping his own game as an artist. I've known Scoob since he began rapping and I enjoy listening to him grow as an artist. He definitely doesn't need a hype man because he gets the momentum going with his energetic intensity over each and every track.  Despite his longevity I feel like this mixtape is his coming of age moment. I'm so very proud of his accomplishments and urge yo...

Single Mom Travels (it's kind of a long read, so grab a snack!)

Image
Well Hello There Readers! I've been on a writing hiatus but I've got the sudden urge to blog. A few weeks ago I was hanging out with my son and realized that as far as I'm concerned we have a pretty unique experience in terms of the way we go throughout our daily lives. I realize there's this stigma that as a single parent life becomes so limited and in many aspects this has proven true. However, I've also discovered my own ways to live and provide my child with a happy fulfilling life. There is nothing that can truly distract my child from the absence of his father, but as his mother I've vowed to make his childhood experiences as meaningful as possible in the hopes of presenting to society a well rounded, open minded, curious, fearless, adult. With all that being said, traveling alone and/or with your child are one of those single parent stigmas I was talking about. It seems as though as a woman I should live in fear of the world and somehow nee...
