Office Glamour

Nu-Locs , The Glamorous Executive

Hair by Debra Hare-Bey 718-221-5581

As a Natural Hair Stylist, I often find that professional women with natural hair feel they are limited in their hair style choices. It is quite the opposite. Wearing your hair natural opens up a world of options. Wearing your hair natural allows you to enjoy all worlds- straight, curly, kinky, loced and everything in between.

Nu-Locs

The beautiful style above is a Loc Alternative. A Loc Alternative is a style option that allows you to have a loc look without the permanence of Locs. This style is done with yarn. Yarn is used for its soft texture, light weight, matte finish, and easy to care for sensibility.

The Office

Nu-Locs translate well as an appropriate hairstyle for the professional. Whether you choose to wear a suit for the board meeting, dress or slacks- your hair style will compliment your attire.

Maintenance

Perfect for the busy women. Nu-Locs really are wake-up and go hair; it’s really that simple.  You are not required to cover your hair nightly with a silk or satin scarf. If you choose not to cover your hair, you are required to sleep on a silk or satin covered pillow. You may shampoo your hair as often as you like. I would not recommend more than once-a-week. Oil your scalp as needed.

Pin Up

Debra Hare-Bey’s version of a Pin Up

No, you are not to be the pin up- you are to pin your hair up! 

Pin-ups are very sophisticated, sexy and very practical in the summer heat.  A cool breeze on your neck and hair off your face is exactly what you want when it is hot. Why wait until your hair has suffered style wise- pin your hair up intentionally. Start your day with an attractive pin-up. Style your hair according to your mood- playful, sexy or down right sophisticated. Pin-ups are so stylish and regal, they are highly recommended for brides and special occasions. If you have such an occasion coming up, be sure to make your appointment early. For more information go to redcreativeartconceptstudio.com.

For Better or Worse

If you have just started locs- be patient. Like a married couple, you will find that there are good days and bad days. Keep in mind, locs really do have a mind of their own.  Remember, if you hold on and follow through to fruition- your patience will pay off in the end. Your locs will be beautiful and well worth the wait.

 

Ode to my MOM

My MOM…..

is beautiful
loves me
is always there for me
is the best
is my biggest champion, along with my girls who cheer me on all the time
hands out my postcards?

The day before Memorial Day- I’m talking to my mom on the phone about what time to meet at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music- Dance Africa Festival). This is a family ritual where everyone gets involved to hand out Red C.A.C. Studio postcards. I am tired as usual. I’m suppose to meet mom around 12:00 noon. As noon approaches, I realize I’m not going to make our noon handing out the postcards appointment so I call her.  Mom, “I’m not going to make it for noon, I will call you when I am leaving”. Mom replies ” I will see you out there”.

I must give you a visual of my mom- mom is a women of a certain age. She is fly and sassy. She has the tenacity of Malcom X- she will get it done “By Any Means Necessary” and the fierceness of and even resembles Patti La Belle. Got the picture!

I always leave postcards at mom’s house because we do street Fair’s all the time. Mom gets herself together and heads out on her lone mission of handing out postcards. In fact, she handed out all the postcards she took out with her- and it was a hot day. Mom carries them with her as she rides the train going to work, walking down the street, or with her as she runs her many errands over the course of her day. Imagine that!

I did meet up with her later on that day. I was tired from working on the new Studio website, recovering from my long day at work and the million other things I do over the course of my day.  Believe it or not- mom hung tough. She continued to walk with us as we handed out more postcards. For my mom, it is absolutely believable. Here’s the thing, everyone who knows my mom knows that this is not unusual for my mom. My mom is behind me 100%.

As my day winds down, it hit me- wow, my mom is awesome. She’s out there handing out postcards for her daughter by herself and enjoying it. I am blessed. Thank you mom. I love you so very much. Not just because you are the postcard diva, but because I know you love me and I feel it. Thank you mom. Thank you God for giving me my mom I am truly blessed.

So, if you see this short Patti LaBell looking, Malcolm X thinking lady strutting her stuff with postcards in her hand, please take one and wish her well. And, whatever you do don’t say anything off color because she will sass you right back. She’s my mom supporting her daughter and having fun.
