So I seperated the hair in two sections with a hair tie, and did each step I mention below to each section.Ģ. There was no way I was going out with her looking like this.ġ. LolĪs you can see my half wig was looking a hot mess.
It was defitnitely time to show her some tlc (tender, love, & care). She was just sitting in the corner of my room in a Sephora bag getting dry and nappy. Be it pixie cut, beehive, bowl cut, bob, and my favorite, a magnificent soul-sista afro she knocked them all out of the ballpark.I must confess I’ve been slacking on my posts but I figured this one would be perfect to back into the swing of things. Throughout her career spanning 6 decades, she has done her fair share of being iconic in the hair game. Her fur coats, hats, extravagant gowns were everything! She didn’t mind if people thought she was over the top. Her music holds a staying quality that it is hard to find in the music we get today. She hit her notes effortlessly and the potency of her lyrics can stir something deep in your soul.
#Eloquent hair half wig how to
If you never knew how to assert yourself, by the time you got through listening to “Respect” chances are you would have the right momentum to lay out your demands. Her MusicĪretha’s voice caressed the notes of her songs and riled up the right emotion when you needed a boost. She didn’t allow the views of others to dictate how she saw herself and she carried herself like royalty. Queen Aretha was comfortable in her own skin.
Talk about getting served! That was the day she learned not to come for Aretha if Aretha doesn’t send for you. A certain gossip columnist learned this all too well when she thought Aretha was easy prey. She wasn’t here for that body shaming and throwing shade business. But as much as she could enjoy a little chuckle about herself she was eloquent enough to call bull when she saw it. The SassĮven through the shyness, one could spot her sense of humor in her interviews as she turned questions about her weight into a light moment. She didn’t wallow in self-pity and she didn’t need anyone else’s pity. She didn’t crumble and fade into the shadows. She had a survivor’s spirit surviving domestic abuse in her first marriage yet picked up the pieces, learned to love again and came back stronger than before. Did you know that to this day an asteroid named after her is still in orbit? Talk about reaching for the stars! One of the most notable things to me was that even though she was such a great artist, Aretha wore a cloak of humility so you couldn’t help but be pulled in by her.įellow entertainer Gladys Knight said that even though she had such a tremendous gift, she was shy and didn’t seem to realize how good she was at times. She even has a strong legacy in the civil rights movement. She served her community through philanthropic activities and sought no praise for it. She was big on giving without asking for anything in return. She let us know that it is ok to regroup, reinvent ourselves and press on after our dreams.Īfter having very little success singing gospel, she returned to the stage at 19 yrs as a secular artiste. She showed us that a little commitment, patience, and investment in ourselves can make all the difference when she taught herself to play the piano. This she did when at the age of 14 she started her career. She showed us how to take our talent and turn it into the key that unlocks opportunities for us to be honored in the presence of Kings.
