My Hair Is......

Meet Dominique Grant born and raised in Brooklyn New York but now residing in Connecticut. I'm a Personal Care Assistant who loves music, cooking, reading, & vlogging.

My Hair Is.... (natural/relaxed)?  
 My hair is natural and fabulousWhat does your hair mean to you?
 It's my personality and style. Since I went natural my confidence has went through the roof. Wouldn't change it for the world.

 How long have you been natural/relaxed?
 I've been natural for 1 year and 9 months.

 What are your favorite styles to wear? 
Two strand twist/twist outs, two strand flat twist and Fro hawk.

 How do you take care of your hair? (stylist)
 I do not have a stylist, when I went natural I decided that I needed to learn how to do own my hair (saves money but can also show what kind of potential you have to understand your hair). I can't do extensions myself, box braids, kinky twists & Senegalese twist I leave to the professionals.

What's your hair care regimen?
My hair regimen is to detangle/pre-poo (Queen Helene cholesterol with added oils) and co-wash every week or week and a half ( Tresseme Flawless Curls Hydration). Shampoo with Creme Of Nature Ultra Moisturizing Shampoo when necessary (depends on what kind of styler I used the week before). Deep conditioning (Africa's Best Tea Tree Cholesterol) every week is a must !!! Twice a week I do the baggy method and scalp massages (castor oil with rosemary leaves). I always make sure to seal in the moisture (leave-in condition water based, oil, and cream) then I style my hair (Miss Jessie's, Shea Moisture, or Dr.Miracles)

 Do you have style inspirations?
 Definitely, a lot!!! Teyana Taylor, Tracee Ellis Ross, Rachel True, Solange Knowles, Cree Summer, Leela James, and Corraine Bailey Rae.

 Who is your hairstyle crush?
 Omg! Tracee Ellis Ross and Solange Knowles

 What's your staple product?
 I must have Castor Oil and Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie.

 What's your go to style?
 I do twist outs forever and a day. Lol!

 What is your style mantra?
 Fearless, confident, authentic, funky and carefree.

 What is your life mantra?
 Dare be different because everyone else is trying to blend in. Laugh a lot, work hard and love harder because tomorrow is never promised.

Rest In Paradise

It saddens my heart to even title this post "Rest In Paradise" about thee Don Cornelius. A pioneer, a innovator, a creator, the master mind and host of Soul Train. In his honor here's a video circa 1970's of the the Soul Train line.

Lanvin for H&M

Partnering with fashion designers is the best way to make more consumers aware of your company. This will all be unveiled on November second but you have to wait just around the holiday season for the collection. The Lanvin Collection will be released on November 23rd.

Congrats to the Miami Heat

I have been a fan of LeBron James since he signed to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003, however my interest in watching him from 2003 - 2008 has slowed down tremendously because of college life and being engulfed in other endeavors. So my time spent on enjoying sports only when the play off games came on just to bring friends together. However I am still a fan of him, I am happy for him! Congratulations to LeBron James and the Miami Heat!!

What is unbelievable to me is the unprofessionalism of the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the fans in Cleveland burning his jersey as if this man does not exist. He has done a lot for the Cavaliers in the past seven years, grant it he is only one man and one man can not win a championship alone. He deserves much more respect than what was displayed last night. That just goes to show how Americans dwell in self gratification, and can careless about the happiness of the next individual. LeBron is happy with his decision, why can't other people be happy for him? Like he said last night "I can not get involved with that, I have to do what's right for LeBron James and what makes me happy". "What if the shoe was on the other foot"?

Look at the trumfoolery and listen to the disgust of these die hard Cavaliers Fans....incase you missed it:
