Review – You Go Natural (YGN) Halo T-Shirt Turban (Ash)

March 29, 2022

Filed Under : Grooming

Hey everyone! I’m back this week to announce my latest collaboration with You Go Natural (YGN). In a previous blog post, I reviewed their open shirt jersey turban found here. Today, I’m trying on the highly anticipated, halo t-shirt turban from YGN’s spring/summer collection.

When you get a chance, check out the full review below:

Product

YGN’s latest collection features the latest hues and colors (With an updated design) created specifically for men. It’s tight fit is ideal for keeping all your natural hairstyles in place. Since I’m manipulating my hair a lot this season, the lightweight turban is the perfect option. Bonus – The infinity loop is lightweight, comfortable, and adds for a stunning finish.

Packaging

Similar to the previous YGN product I reviewed, the turban arrived in clear bag with the YGN logo printed across the front. The bag has a zipper top closing, which prevents the turban from falling out. 

Value

This turban is being sold for $35 (The average price as most of their products). If you have a few bucks to spare, its worth the purchase.

Review

YGN’s headwraps and turbans and headwraps are pre-tied (That’s their selling points). Since I’m always in a rush, I don’t necessarily have two to three minutes to sit down and tie a turban. The pre-tied options usually accommodate my lifestyle better. Plus, there are many colors to choose from. If you’re like me and love a few options, you won’t be disappointed.

The Good: I love supporting black owned businesses in general. That in itself is a great selling point for me. Plus, I love the turban’s lightweight jersey material. Plus, it absorbs the moisture from all my hair products as well (Like a t-shirt). Don’t get me wrong, you’ll see the stains, but they will dry up eventually.
The Bad: Sometimes, it’s a little hard to get the infinity loop to how I want it to look, especially after wrapping it a couple of times (It could be me being critical). Other than that, it’s perfect!

Overall

I give this product a 5 out 5. I can’t wait to try on a new product!

How to Thrift an Entire Outfit Part 3

Happy Spring everyone! We’re going to keep the ball rolling with another ensemble from the “How to Thrift an Entire Outfit” series.

Today, I’m rocking this 90s inspired look! It’s giving TLC meets *NSYNC with the oversized, silk shirt. Lets take a closer look in full detail below:

OUTFIT #3

Shirt

Every once in a while, I can find a silk shirt at the Goodwill (One that actually fits). Luckily, I found this one handing in the women’s section, although it’s a men’s shirt. Remember, always check the buttons! Men’s shirts usually have buttons on the right side.

Pants

Let’s be honest, balloon pants are my go-to this year! I love pairing them with some of my favorite button-downs, sweaters, and baggy t-shirts. Remember, I love a 90s aesthetic!

Be safe,

How to Thrift an Entire Outfit Part 2

Filed Under : My Style

Hey everyone! I’m kicking off the week with another fit from the “How to Thrift an Entire Outfit” for winter.

This is a very layered look, including a cropped sweater, dress shirt, and slacks. Lets take a closer look in full detail below:

OUTFIT #2

Cropped Sweater

Stay cozy, warm, and stylish in your favorite ribbed sweater. I found this one at the Goodwill for under $7 bucks! Such a great deal! Plus, I cropped it myself.

Dress Shirt

My dress shirts are usually more slim fit, but I opted for a larger size for length purposes. I wanted the dress shirt to elongate my torso even more. Luckily, I found this one randomly handing in the wrong section.

Pants

I haven’t come across too many pants that are a perfectly snug in the waist, but these are a different story. The point here is this: When you find the perfect fit in the thrift store, make the purchase. These pants were donated to me specifically or that’s what I tell myself. Whatever the case may be, I’ve been rocking with them ever since.

Peace,
