One of my favorite things about being a woman is the innate ability we have to juggle multiple roles and appear to have it altogether.

When in doubt, many of us put our natural hair in a high puff. Normally I get my hair re-twisted once a month but lately I have been walking around looking like Medusa! My new work schedule makes it hard for me to stick to that solid routine and since I want fresh hair for NYE, I have to resort to one of my “in the meantime” hairstyles. Since I have loose curls from an old style I used with pipe cleaners, I decided to put my hair in a…
