Esperanza Spalding Wins Grammy's Best New Artist

By -
Congrats to jazz musician Esperanza Spalding (and naturalista) for winning Best New Artist at tonight's Grammy Awards. She is the first jazz artist to win the category. She beat out Justin Beiber, Florence in the Machine, Mumford & Sons, and Drake. A surpise to many, but I love her music and talent!

I used 4 packs of Marley Braid Hair with 2 different colors. I sectioned my hair in medium parts and used 2 strands of the marley hair to make it thick. If done quickly and nonstop, I think it would have taken me about 4 hours, but I procrastinated and split my time. I will definitely be using this style again .
