Happy Monday!
So I’m currently in Paris for the Olympics (my family planned this trip, I am an innocent bystander). Paris is on super lock down, y’all. Tourist attractions like the Eiffel Tower are closed, random streets are closed (and you need a pass that takes a week to gain access), there are police and military with guns EVERYWHERE. I have been to Paris many times in my life, and I can say this would be the worst time to come. I understand the city needs to be secure, but from the tourist/pedestrian POV, it sucks. I digress…!
I decided to leave Paris for the weekend and visit Official Honey Hand, an extremely skilled hairstylist out of London who specializes in making natural looking short wigs. My hair is in this weird ‘in between’ growing out stage (those who get perfect platinum pixies know what I mean). Basically about 2 months after you get your hair dyed, your hair starts to grow out significantly. You could dye it again, but in most cases it will be too short, so you typically have to wait another month before you can get it done again. It’s just a growing out phase that is not the cutest…so I decided to take the Eurostar and take my chances.
2.5 hours on the train, a couple Ubers, and 4 hours in Honey Hand’s chair, and I went from this…
To This…!
I love it…!
It’s gonna take some getting used to, but I guess it was time for a change. Honey Hand (her name is Hannah) and I decided to collaborate on a post, and it has received almost 400K plays and 20,000 likes in less than 24 hours!
Now I’m hooked and will be sure to get a wig from Hannah every time I’m in Europe. I think I’m gonna go back to wearing wigs at least for special occasions. My real hair has taken a beating from all the platinum. I think in this next season, I’m going to focus on nursing my hair back to health and using protective styles like wigs and braids yet again. Let’s hope that with the right tools and fabulous wigs, I can maintain it.
What do you think?
And would you go to London to get a BOMB wig?!?
Let me know in the comments.
Love & Light,
