I’m a Hair Enthusiast! Hair…is just something that I love! I’ve always been a fan of fly, funky, and fun and can’t forget easy to manage. Every fall/winter I protective style with either braids, twists, or locs. Looking for some ideas for a Fall Festival? And guess what!? Even if you don’t “celebrate”, you can still dress up and have fun! Last year, I wanted to do something fun, but having my faux locs installed — I had no clue what. Then I came across Franchesca “Chescaleigh” Ramsey’s (Chescalocs) Natural Hair-O-Ween video where she collaborated with other naturals on YouTube. When I ran across Ambrosia Malbrough’s Grace Jones Hair-O-Ween tutorial, I said–that’s IT! I absolutely love Grace Jones so I figured out a way to make her look work with my locs. This is not a tutorial (you can view the video below), but to show you the final result and inspire you with some ideas!
THE TRANSFORMATION!
I am none other than… Grace Jones, the “remarkably unchanged”, a true living legend, fashion icon, and FIERCE unequivocal beauty!
Make-up: I made Ambrosia’s look my own, but used similar tones. Just have fun with it!

You. Better. Work!!! This looks great on you. I need to get back into treating my hair right, I get so lazy with it because I’ve been “natural” most of my life so I just let it do its own thing smh lol =(
Artney says
Thanks girl! I had no idea what look I was going to go for being that it was last minute and I had locs! I totally understand about letting it do it’s own thing. I do whatever works for me!
