JOJO's SASS

Joanna Hutton is the perfect package. From those "chinky","chinee" eyes to her impeccable style, she has it! she makes it!she is it! With her down-to-earth personality she is absolutely irresistible. Joanna has been one of my closest friends since I was 11.The first time we met we immediately clicked and subsequently got into trouble together but since then we've been great friends. You know what they say -"good friends will be there to bail you out of jail but great friends will be sitting there beside you". I'd like to tell everyone about the interesting experiences I've had with her but i'd not want to take away from your own experience.The girl is "hella" funny,super entertaining and probably one of the most genuine persons I've ever met.It's impossible to be around her and not leave with a laugh.

The child is multi-talented; part comedian, part vocalist, part hairstylist, Joanna the kid sister of Nadia Batson is also a member of the star band ,"Nadia Batson's Sass and along with Elena Rawlins does background vocals for several performances and tracks by the lead singer. She hopes to one day be performing her own tracks but admits to having a little stage fright that seems to be hindering the process.

Aside from performing with the band this 5'4 miss is also an hair stylist and is responsible for several shocking yet gorgeous hairstyles of her band mates as well as her own outrageous looks.Sporting hair from copper to "smurf" blue,blond or red, in curls,long flowing locks, or short styles, She trends and takes the risks that most wouldn't dare. If anything she's known for her hair. During her performances I always hear random dudes say "that chick with the pink hair real "bess" or that chick with the fruity pebbles hair on point".However she styles it, it suits her and she looks great.

In terms of fashion most of her outfits are altered or designed as an signature Joanna Hutton article, for some reason it works for her and she's even spoken up a few times  about persuing fashion design. She has even done some modelling .

Hair Today

Its no doubt that hair is probably one of the most important features of a woman and that women spend thousands of dollars per year trying to maintain it and reinvent it, but even more importantly to mention is that most women are afraid to rock what they have;their natural hair.

 My first LOW cut for my birthday last year.

 I'm no stranger to taking risks with my hair, in fact I've probably done everything to my hair except probably a "jheri curl" but i'm telling you a few years ago I was super close to it. Currently my hair is cut low and natural for two reasons- my birthday is pretty soon and I personally wanted to embrace myself wholly and enter this year of my life completely accepting of who I am and secondly I did my first relaxer when  I was around four years old and I've felt for a long time that it ruined my confidence in my ethnicity me being of several backgrounds but my hair being predominantly "afro".

Red hair

However when i finally cut the chemicals out of my hair and presented it to my mother the criticism kept rolling in. She said my head looked big my hair looks "hard",(a trini reference to nappy) and a series of criticism. At the end of the day I like my new cut and I feel comfortable with it, I don't have to worry about it falling off randomly... it's mine! I can tug at it how hard when I get angry and it's healthy and beautiful. It's not silky straight like many would hope for, it's more kinky than anything but its convenient. All I gotta do is brush it and go.I'ts absolutely gorgeous and I'm comfortable in my skin.
 I'm certainly an advocate for changing  up your hair but I believe, that no matter  what you do to your hair it should never be because you are ashamed to wear it naturally and having it natural for a while can do a lot not just for your hair but also your self esteem. You are who    you are and you should never have any regrets about that.

My latest look almost no hair but natural
