Sassy Style Files: Turban Season

 

So, about all this rain on the east coast…  I’m just not that into it. I’m thinking it’s about time to head back to the west for a bit. Every day I wake up and try to to figure out a new way to tie my headwrap to protect my hair (which is currently straight) from all this rachet moisture. This snake print scarf is one of my faves but I have at least twenty other scarves I could use, if only I can find and dig them out of my storage. #TheStruggle!

Until then… I’ll be documenting my efforts here and on IG @TheSassyNation. Stop by and let me know how I’m doing! At least my silk press is still poppin’! Ayyyye!!! Here’s a tutorial I did a while back on one of my favorite scarf tying styles… check the technique!

Sassy Hair: Dry Twists With A Twist

Sassy Hair

It’s been about a week since I wanded my hair for the V-Day, ‘Sexy is the New Sassy’ video series. I’ve been feeling really adventurous lately, so I decided to go ahead and get real crazy with some temporary spray-in color. I’ve been wanting to dye my hair forever, but I’m way too much of a coward. I had hi-lights once. And while they were beautiful, they really badly damaged my hair. So, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to try something new without the commitment or the scary chemical damage. The color is Ruthless Red from Beyond The Zone. 

 After dry twisting my hair I let it set for about an hour or so then unraveled it and sprayed in the color. I found the color a little difficult to work with because it was getting everywhere (I mean, it is an aerosol). The transfer from my hair onto my clothes, jacket and hands was pretty substantial, even after my hair was dry. I’d definitely recommend waiting until the color is completely dried in before getting dressed and maybe opting for wearing darker colors if the hair is down like mines is in the last pic. 

Although it turned out red, before drying it looked more pink to me, which thankfully darkened into red, then eventually burgundy (the last few days). The upside was that the color absorbs into the hair fast and getting it off of my clothes and surfaces was very easy. All in all I enjoyed my flaming red hair and would most likely try the spray-in color again. I’m thinking gray next time! Tell me what you think of this look and if you’ve tried temporary colors in your hair before.
