Change Hair & Go!

Last week it was short...this week it's long. Apparently my hair does NOT define the woman I am...just the way that I feel! Lol! Long or short tresses remain the confident, beautiful, expressive woman YOU ARE and keep 'em guessing! Lol! I know I am. Much love!

I BC'd (Big Chopped)

Well well...it's been a while! FINALLY back from my hiatus and it feels so good! I've been SO busy with work, traveling, growth, new projects and tons of other fab experiences that I can't wait to share with you all! I've missed you all so very much! As you can see I BC'd (big chopped) March 25th and I absolutely love it! I've been wanting to go natural for quite some time and I wish I had done it a lot sooner! Lol! I love my beautiful curls! So if you'd like join me on my 'new' life journey in NYC as a natural feel free to do so! Of course I'll be trying different looks (for all of you who know me as a stylist)! There will be new changes to the blog as you can see so if you should have any questions or comments feel free to post. I'm looking forward to my growth and new experiences with you all! Love you all!

Moving Forward

This song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Absolutely breathtaking! God makes all things new! I am so thankful to God! He can turn our mess into a message! Unlike man, God truly does throw the past into the sea of forgetfulness and makes ALL things new! I'm thankful that God has chosen to use Mr. Houghton to remind us of this message.
Happy Wednesday!

Nostalgia - Mannequin

#NowWatching Mannequin What'da y'all know about this 1987 classic? Kim Catrell...BEFORE Sex & The City youngins! Lol! This film makes me feel like the little 8 year old Bronx girl who tied a shirt onto her head with a belt pretending it was long hair! Lol! What I'd give to be a kid again in the 80's #priceless <3

Tiffany Evans - I'll Be There

I am in LOVE with this song and video! It's truly amazing! Tiffany Evans is such a rare talent and beauty! She doesn't have to be half naked with bling all over her videos to sell a record! Rock on Tiffany! You bring a hope to such a lost generation! Continue to inspire!

I've been in love with Tiffany's voice since

Choose Life

This is now my #1 video. I've been a fan of Joann since I heard Sigueme and the rest is history. She's proof that if we lift Jesus up He will truly draw people for His glory. :) Joann is definitely my #BigSisInMyHead and all of the woman I desire to become. Why? You ask. Watch the next clip below...

Meet one of my ULTIMATE fab fav Super Stars (clients). The infamous Stevie B is like a breathe of fresh air!  No really! Her love for all things glam, intellect, class, impeccable sense of style & love for God is what I adore most. I could go on for days...no really! Lol. Anyway, she's one of the many reasons why I LOVE WHAT I DO! Every consultation Stevie & I have are totally out of this world and you #glamaholics KNOW how much I love a #ByKhabirah Hair Spiration challenge. This week I was graced with another opportunity to paint a *new* picture customized to fit Stevie B's beautiful face shape.

Stevie's hair extensions have been in 2 months and counting...nevertheless every other week we've collaborated & created a NEW look with the SAME head of hair extenions. As you can see (as photographed up top) "Bangs" were the #ByKhabirah Spiration. A flawless fringe is a popular feature of many different hair styles. They can help change the shape of a face, draw attention to the eyes, and soften most looks for any style.

Of course Stevie and I took the infamous ByKhabirah commitment FREE approach so she can get back to her healthy natural tresses after she's over this look! Whether they're clips in, micros, or an official chop...I hope you too are inspired to switch up your look every now and then! As my one of my fav celbrity stylists Gabrielle Corney would say, Hair is the ULTIMATE Accessory!

Love Apparatus - Jesse Boykins III Inspired

On the brink of an artistically expressive breakdown this morning... (joking) I got my fix after listening to "Amorous" by none other than the incredible Jessie Boykins III. It definitely spoke to my heart. In case you guys don't know, art is my 1st love. Haven't been able to put away with the drawing board since I can remember. What inspires you? I'd be more than happy to hear your thoughts!

“The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act.” - Marcel Duchamp

Be sure to cop Jesse's album Love Apparatus.

What's Chic?

What's chic?

...here's Khabirah of ByKhabirah.com's definition...

...elegance by virtue of being fashionable...

...neutrals and bright highlights...the basis of my perfect wardrobe....

...my thoughts and personal style inspired by my Naija roots...

...last but certainly not least...a woman who fears the Lord. #ChooseLife

Happy Tuesday!

Wale - My Sweetie

If your name has thirteen letters, this is for you. Lol! Every time I see this, it makes me proud to be a Nigerian. Our parties are just like this too. Ayee! Lol! The original song is called "Let Me Love You" by Bunny Mack, a Sierra Leonean musician, recorded it in 1981. If you can't tell by now, Wale is one of my favs & just so we're clear...the money thing is apart of our Nigerian culture...giving money (spraying) is a compliment to the person dancing. Not degrading. Not a money obsession. 
LOVE THIS SONG! LOVE MY CULTURE!

Enjoy.
