How Do You Change Your Hair So Often?

So, almost every day at work I get asked this question: "how do you change your hair so often?". It amazes everyone (mind you, almost all are Caucasian with straight hair) how my natural hair could be so versatile.


Walking to my desk and I hear "new hairstyle again ay?", "you just keep us guessing", etc, but it's quite entertaining. I find it very amusing how fascinated they are to see my hair in such different ways. And let me clarify, I'm not doing anything extreme. Not cutting it all the time, or dying it. To tell you the truth, almost no one noticed I got highlights!!! That one got me lol, that would be what I would expect them to notice but I will forgive them since my highlights are subtle. 

I usually eat lunch late so I'll see people coming in to warm up their coffee, grab some water to either try and wake them up or engage in gathering at the water cooler for some chit chat. This one guy asked "how do you change your hair everyday?". 

My response: "because when I sleep, my hair gets messed up...

[To my Naturalistas, yes I sleep with a satin pillowcase (sold here at CurlShoppe) because I can't wear a scarf or bonnet as an aggressive sleeper lol.  However I can't do the glorified Pineapple Method yet because my hair is still too short. Look what I have to deal with:

... So when I wake up, I need to decide how to 'fix' it. Either way I need to do something with it so I just style it, might as well be creative"

He said: "So, it's like a game time decision for you then? When I wake up, I just shower and my hair resets. But you probably can't wash your hair everyday"

Surprised he even knew that much (washing regime of a black girl), I responded "Yea, not that easy for me.  But yes, I pretty much decide each morning". 

The key is not trying to manipulate your hair that much, but switching it up just a bit like adding headbands and accessories, side part, a puff, are some easy styles to do in the morning.

Multiple Accounts in Instagram

I found a miraculous way to manage both of my Instagram accounts in the Instagram app itself! No more having to download an app to ensure I can use these 2 accounts of mine. I hated having to sign out of Instagram in one account, sign into the other and constantly going back and forth. So here is the solution: To add other accounts into your Instagram: Open Instagram > Options > Add Account > Sign into other account > Account Added To switch between multiple accounts in Instagram: In Instagram, Tap on account name at the top > Select desired account Visual below:  Step 1: Add Account Step 2: Switch Account So easy and I'm definitely happy I stumbled upon it! I'm hoping this will help other business owners who manage multiple accounts such as their personal and business. This will help me post on Instagram more frequently.
