    My New Cut & Color with AVEDA

    Happy Tuesday Loves! I pray that this post greets you well! Just wanted to share my new cut and color experience with you! Here’s a shot of one of my first reactions.

    Yeah…..I wasn’t ready. But the pic above doesn’t even touch on what the end result was! I was shocked to say the least, but I’m definitely learning to rock what I’ve got regardless! Have you ever had a “not quite what I expected” salon experience? (more…)

    Havvvvve you noticed!?!?!?! Some of you may have noticed that I have a new hair color from the last post. YES MA’AM! I needed a change and REALLY needed a cut! I was super nervous about the color, the cut not so much. In past posts I talk about how to bring your hair back to “health”, how to reverse damage. The truth is, you can do all that: if you have dry hair, deep condition; if you have a dry and flaky scalp try a oil treatment.

    Howwwwwever, if you have waited and waited to trim or you’ve just simply neglected your hair until it’s knotting up and breaking, it’s just time to let go. Deep Conditioning can’t mend two ends split from a long overdue trim. That is exactly what happened to me! I kept putting my trim out knowing I had a GRIP of single strand knots.

    Anu Prestonia, CEO/Founder of Khamit Kinks the salon tapped me on my shoulder at a event I recently attended and basically told me to get my life. I knew I needed a trim I just never made time to trim it myself and figured that I would get it trimmed and cut at the same time! So I made my appointment and strolled on in to her salon in Brooklyn!

    The salon is awesome! I felt so welcomed and my stylist Jennifer was really accommodating to what I wanted to do. I did want a drastic change so I told her to cut what she wanted and gave her a picture of the color I wanted.

    Jennifer is blow drying a little so I didn’t walk outside in the cold with wet hair. :)

    Thanks for checking out my new cut and color! What do you think? Someone commented on the video saying I need a toner? I think….anywho, I love the color as it. Sometimes it comes through as a bit orange on camera, which is annoying but I love it in person! Which is what matters! :)

    If you’re thinking about coloring your hair for the fall, which color are you considering?

    Peace & Blessings,
