The Obsession

Can you spend an hour or more in beauty supply stores?  Do you have multiple subscriptions to or can't help but pick up the latest hair magazine?  Is your 'under the sink' storage area so full that you have a special product area for your impulse purchases?  It's offiicial - you're obsessed.

The Attitude

All Tressed Up is more than the name of a website, it's an attitude.  Ask anyone - when you look good you do for the most part, feel good.  This website gives the everyday woman and/or man the opportunity to share just how wonderful you are!  Are you All Tressed Up today?

Before I begin with this week's style let me first be completely clear and tell you that I am not solely responsible for this style.  I was actually in the Elle International Hair Show as one of the models for Naturals Salon & Spa.  The elements you see in this style were set by the owner, Chaunda 'Loc*Star' King.  I had to clear that up, yall.

Stylist Code #7779311: Never claim another stylist's work as your own.

Here are some photos of the beautiful work she did on me for the hair show.  She actually sprayed my hair with metallic gold spray, which I loved.  It had folks thinking I had colored my hair all week!  Thanks Chaunda for the experience! BULLET!

Once I got home, there were a few things I had to do.  Number one - take makeup OFF!  Makeup breaks me out and I don't really like it on me, but for the purposes of the show a sister did what she had to do.  Number two - remove the peacock feathers.  Man, I love some peacock feathers!  I didn't want to take them out, but I had to go to work the next day and so I took them out.  I saved them for future use, though.  I'm almost sure they'll come in handy.

I already had the flat two-strand twists in the back with a straw set in the front.  I decided to pull the twists up a tad bit tighter and bring the straw set to the front for bangs.  So really all I did was move some things around and add few pins. Here's what I came up with.  I call this one Twist and Straw.

Straw sets are long-lasting and an excellent style choice for relaxed or natural tresses.  They are especially great for those transitioning to natural.

The Kitchen: An Ingredients Journey

Well folks, we have decided to consolidate.  Once upon a time we shared ingredient information with you via a sub-domain.  Beginning today, we're bringing that content inside.  We want this to be in all-inclusive experience for you. The Kitchen will now live on on this very website!  No need to venture off to another website!

One of the goals of All Tressed Up is to create awareness in an effort to help you make the right choices when selecting products.  Ultimately, this will help you choose more natural products.  As you already know, the skin is the largest organ of the body.  We are smothering it with lotions, potions and scrubs that are full of chemicals.  Let's make well informed product choices and put an end to supporting products that are designed to produce profit while ignoring things such as side-effects after continued use.
