Feature image courtesy of Essence.com. This is a sponsored post for Motions through The bLink Marketing Network and Lunchbox, all opinions are 100% my own. It’s Monday, and I am squealing like Kelly Rowland! Starting this week, many of my favorite black Hollywood actresses will dominate the small screen this season.

Normally, right before bed, I’d stuff my hair into one of the satin hair bonnets I’ve bought from my local beauty supply store. However, I’ve decided to try my hand again at mastering the perfect beaten, bedtime beehive, minus the wrap pins. Wrapping Hair: Conflict Easier said than done, but it isn’t impossible – in fact, I was able to suppress my rampant frustration to a minimum for a couple of weeks.
