The hardest part in life... is living!

We get so overwhelmed with our day to day routines and it's so easy to let yourself slip and drown in misery. The pain fills your lungs and your limbs start to numb, inch by inch. The world darkens with each passing minute.

Before you lose complete sight of your life, remember that their is always hope for tomorrow and may that be enough to awaken your soul.

Hairstyle:

During this time and age of "Rihanna" and "Cassie" hairstyles, it was sooooo hard to do side fishtail braids. lol!!!! I had to get creative and throw some extensions in there and create an illusion of full and tossled hair with a side braid.

tah-dah!!!

the model is my photographer: Bousa!

photographer: Bobbie Yanoupeth

I totally forgot that while I was in California last time, not only did I collaborate on photo shoot with Bousa, I also cut her hair and gave her a little face time!!!!

Bousa and I worked together back in February on "The Little Black Sheep" and "Super Kawaii" shoot. From the moment the cameras started snapping, I knew that she totally understood me. She is such a hard worker and so detail oriented. Her personal aesthetic is anything but ordinary. She worked it out for me. The final product was amazing. And fortunately, I am gonna be back in the bay at the end of this month and we will be working with her again!!!! So please stay tuned!

Hairstyle:
I hacked off like 5inches of her hair. I made sure to slightly angle the hair forward as I was cutting the front pieces. The trick to the look and to give her more of an edge, I got crazy with the layers!!! I did a slide cutting technique, which is similar to using a razor. I pulled hair from the back of her crown forward and layered them into her bangs as well. I swept the hair in both directions as I was making her side swoop because I wanted to make sure that she was able to change the look and not give her a definite part.
I applied some Artec Texture Line BeachCream and blew the hair dry. I then took some pomade as well and scrunched the hair.
