Inspiration comes in many forms. Our opinions are formed by our surroundings and the environments we’re exposed to. Growing up I was always trying to emulate my Mother’s classic style. Her short curly bob and her simple red lip are forever branded in my style vault. Mommy will always be my #1 style inspiration and I catch myself looking more and more like her every day. Style icons these days are few and far between in my opinion. There are a few hairstyle icons who stand out, and they’ve inspired us all throughout the years. Here are a few of my favorites and some looks I created inspired by them using the amazing Camille Rose Naturals now available at Target!
Solange Knowles
Solange’s look is imitated by many. I must admit I’ve tried to re-create a look or two I’ve seen on her Instagram feed. Honestly though her looks serve as a true inspiration to be truly and wholly oneself. Seeing her rock her ‘fro un-apologetically or add extensions or accessorize with hats gives me LIFE! To re-create this look I used the Fresh Curl Hair Smoother to wake up my curls. This moisturizer is rich with avocado oil and castor oil and is not heavy or oily at all. It’s definitely my new favorite product -it also smells like cotton candy! Love!
Moisturizing when wearing hats or accessories is so important. Hats, caps, and decorative head bands can be very drying, but a good moisturizer with a good oil vs water balance can do wonders! Fresh Curl is one of them! Using a wide headband I pushed my day 4 wash ‘n go down to make putting the hat on easier. I loved that her floppy hat did not hide her hair making her ‘fro the star of the look.
