Crochet Braids tutorial

Sometimes you just ‘like’ a person, without really knowing them. That’s the case with me and this lady I am about to introduce..  So I have gotten my own crochet braids, inspired by a facebook friend named Nancy Schieveen. And yes, I had them done by Alejandro Blijd, again. A hair guru that makes my day whenever he comes by to fix my hair, and, so I just found out, also her hair stylist.

Nancy Schieveen is a Dutch Youtuber experimenting with crochet braids for the first time. The main reason why she has them done has to do with her continuous infectious of girls/women with big, fluffy, bouncy but also straight hair.

Nancy shows us that a protective hairstyle can be fun, sexy and convenient at the same time.

Solange Fan

People that have visited this site/blog before already know. It is no secret that I am a big Solange Knowles fan. Her album True, brings a smile to my face, and seeing her live at Bitterzoet in Amsterdam, was one of those concerts beyond a pleasant surprise. Remembering her open for Destiny’s Child at the Ahoy stadium years ago, and seeing how she has developed in such a role model working mom. Love it! And had to share it with ya’ll.

What’s the fuzz…

Gabby

Although I am not a big sports fan, and I have not been watching much Olympic matches, it was hard to miss the ‘hair discussion’ on Gabby apparently ‘fussy’ hairdo….
