Transitioning Tale: Dominique-Alexis' Story

Dominique-Alexis on the right

Well, well, well, it's time to pull another natural hair tale out of the archives. Two years ago, a beautiful young diva named Dominique-Alexis submitted her natural hair tale to Protecting Your Crown & Glory. Dominique-Alexis is the owner of a fabulous website called Natural-Hair-Care-Info.com. Her site and its accompanying Facebook page are dedicated to educating teens and adults about the beauty of natural hair. So now, without further ado, here is Dominque-Alexis' natural hair tale, as told to PYCAG:

Daily Devotion

"The Lord said to Moses, 'Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.'" – Exodus 34:1 (NIV)

Makeup

MAC Haul

As mentioned in my "NYX & Wet n' Wild Haul," I recently went on a makeup shopping spree in order to replace my expired makeup and update my collection. MAC was one of the stores on the list, and I decided to try a few new things along with the usual suspects...

Hair

Flat Iron Curls

I just wanted to share one of my favorite hair pics with you, one that was taken back in March when I was following a heat styled regimen for the winter.

My Little Prince's Hair Update

In January, my son's curls were long and luscious. I shared how after finally learning how to cornrow, I was able to fashion his hair into braided styles, with simple cornrows and the faux hawk being among my favorite looks. Well, a lot has changed since then...

Celebrity Hair

The celebrity locks I'm currently admiring: Kelis. Her milkshake may bring all the boys to the yard, and it's been said that she can be a bit bossy, but one thing is certain: her style is off the chain! I can't believe that in all the years I've been blogging, I have yet to feature this sassy songstress! I think it's pretty safe to say that Kelis is all natural, given the texture of her hair. Those of us who are natural understand and appreciate the versatility natural hair affords, and this diva definitely knows how to switch things up. Her style, cuts and colors range from totally tame, to completely insane, but I'll let you be the judge about which is which.

To see some of her many looks, step inside...

Daily Devotion

"Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." --Matthew 6:33 (NIV)

Makeup

Tantalizing Teal

I recently shared the "Peachy Keen" look I crafted using colors from the All I've Ever Wanted Box I purchased from NYX. Well, today I'd like to share another look I created using colors from the palette, one I've dubbed "Tantalizing Teal."

Waist Length Journey: April 2013 Update

Well, well, well. I'm now one year and six months into my waist length journey, and although I've come a long way, I still got a ways to go! Luckily, my hair is in pretty good condition, and although I've said it before, I'll say it again: healthy hair is more important than long hair. Thus, I believe that as long as I continue to follow a healthy hair regimen, my goals will eventually be achieved. So now, without further ado, here is my official length update for 2013:

Daily Devotion

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." --1 John 4:18

Makeup

Peachy Keen

As you know, I recently purchased a new makeup palette by NYX called the All I've Ever Wanted Box, and let me tell you, it is all I've ever wanted! With a variety of eyeshadow shades, blushers, lippies and face powders, the options are limitless! Today I'd like to share a look I created using bright orange, tangerine and gold colors from the palette, one I've dubbed "Peachy Keen."
