Birthday Bang-in': FLOTUS Michelle Obama's New Haircut

 

The always regal (and ever-changing style chameleon) First Lady Michelle Obama debuted a new haircut on her birthday...just a few days before President Obama's inauguration. FLOTUS was snapped with the new 'do in the Diplomatic Reception Room at the White House with David Hall, a citizen co-chair of Monday's inauguration ceremonies. This is a drastic difference from her more demure hairstyles - usually a shoulder-skimming, face framing bob with the perfect amount of volume and shine. This lady's hair is forever and always LAID!!! I need her stylist like asap!! lol

I'm on the fence with this style, probably because it takes away from her gorgeous face. Maybe I'm just so used to her wearing hairstyles that expose her face. Nevertheless, change is always good so I respect Mrs. O for stepping outside of her hair box and pushing the envelope. She is, in fact, a style icon whether we want to label her as such or not. She's got style and grace, and is the Fist Lady of the United Statesssss! So, for that, I she still gets the MYLM stamp of approval. You go, Mrs. O!

To honor the First Lady on her big day, Beyonce posted a beautiful Instagram note to wish Michelle Obama a happy birthday:

 

LOVES IT!!!!

 

Hair Product Rave: Macadamia Natural Oil

 

Hey beauties! Hair care is such a MUST for any girl out there...whether it be natural, relaxed or even weaved hair. The perfect products always make a huge difference in the overall effect of your hair care process or beauty maintenance. I just started using Macadamia Natural Oil products and I must say...it's the bomb.com!!! I love the consistency of the  Healing Oil Treatment, a light oil used for hot oil treatments and overall wet or dry styling. Enriched with macadamia and Argan oils, it makes your hair shiny without the feeling of being heavy or "coated." It is great for flat irons styles, as it gives the hair a wispy and soft look. I highly recommend this product to all natural and relaxed girls out there. Macadamia Natural Oil has a full line of products including shampoos and conditioners, repair masques and hair accessories, and has been featured in a slew of beauty and fashion magazines. The line is a little costly, (ranging from $9 to $48) but it is so worth it. Products can be found in various professional salons, beauty supply stores and convenience stores.

Have any of you guys ever tried this line? If not, go out and get it!! You won't be disappointed! To learn more about the ingredients that make this product so fascinating, visit the website.

Spring/Summer Hair: Go Short!

Not sure about you guys, but I'm so confused by this weather! Last week in D.C it felt like summer with highs in the 70s and 80s. This week, it's back to 30 degrees and I'm literally sitting here wearing boots. SMH. Anywhooo, just because the weather is a mess, doesn't mean your hair has to be!

Short hair has made a strong comeback, and for me, it's here to stay! I went thru the transformation of having a weave, and Yvonne (along with other people) agreed that short hair is my trademark. So, with Yvonne's suggestions, I am gradually going shorter and shorter and shorter. Not sure where I'll end up, but I can't wait for the outcome. I'm all about experimenting with hair because it'll grow back! It's not the end of the world!!

Some fabulous celebrities are even snipping and they are looking amazing! Halle Berry went back to her short hair and I'm so happy. This chic is beyond beautiful and I'm gonna try my best to look like her when I age. (I just stare at her every time the Revlon commercial comes on lol).

Would you snip snip??

• Angela Simmons, her whole look went with her hair style!
