Imperfectly Beautiful - a Intro

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring"

                                                                                                                                               - Marilyn Monroe


Marilyn Monroe's quote describes me to a T. Why? Because I am far from perfect, I try to be my best every day, which brings out the right inside of me, my beauty. Life has thrown me obstacles as a child. Still, I was given a second chance to give a beautiful little boy a different experience. Those same obstacles have created unbearable emotions, and I used that energy to be creative, my genius. I frequently make mistakes like dropping out of college at 18, becoming a single mom at 21, giving up my future plans, and so much more. However, I have done those ridiculous things to find my self and create a unique story that no one else can tell, a level far from boring. This is ME.


My brand is about being unapologetically me. I embrace everything about me; my unruly hair, my big lips, my imperfect figure, me. I am looking to create a hair company dedicated to the women in my life who have passed; my mom, grandmother, and granny. Those three women were absolutely perfect in my eyes. They rarely changed their appearance. They were old fashion beauty. I want to recreate my memories of them into today's society version of black girl beauty, extensions. Most people believe that black women get extensions to hide their beauty or to have "Caucasian hair." Especially since the BLM protest, many social media posts argue that black women wear straight hair appropriate Caucasian or other women of color. My brand will show that's not the case. Extensions are a protective style used to guard and help our natural hair flourish. To display the world that I stand by, I will post regularly on social media my natural hair and versatile styles of the weave. I want to show women that I can do both and absolutely love myself while doing it. My page will represent genuine self-love accompanied by artificial beauty such as extensions and makeup. Beauty comes in all forms; nothing you can do can hide your beauty because you make whatever you altered.

Social Media Who?

Who is Social media when it comes to branding? Social media is your biggest supporter and advertisement. Using your social media account to plaster your business is also advertising yourself. I have yet to make my business pages. Why? Because it's a lot of planning that goes into it, like getting an LLC, picking the right layouts and fonts, and so much more. The most significant step in starting my business is rebranding my pages. I started with my Instagram by making it public and removing a post that did not fit my brand. I tried to keep selfies with my natural hair and extensions the same thing for my Twitter, which was pretty easy to edit. I edited my bios on each by adding in my entrepreneurship, lifestyle, and natural hair tags. What will be harder for me is my Snapchat and Facebook, both personal and private pages. My Facebook contains old posts from years back that are hard to remove; it has hundreds of pictures, and my audience varies, which means I have a lot of viewers w

Weave Vlogging

Starting a hair business can be challenging, even degrading; you don't know where to start, what to do, or how to do it. Many entrepreneurs sell hair that you may not think yours is good enough quality or is selling at the right price. There's so many questions, so many doubt, so many late nights. Thanks to YouTube there's help, motivation, and a blueprint to your dreams. I stumbled upon Crownmevixen on YouTube while trying to find out how to reach a hair vendor. Crownmevixen is a Youtube entrepreneur and lifestylist. Her first video on hair and entrepreneurship started about a year ago, and its content represents most of her videos. The video linked at the bottom is why I choose her as the Vlogger for this week's assignment. In the video, she showed her spunky but stern personality, which helped effectively deliver the content. She gave the 37.6k viewers and me a blueprint for finding the perfect hair vendor for your brand. She broke down sites to use, apps to use for
