I can’t lie… I was really feeling some kinda way when I saw that another blogger (*cough* SandraRose) had beat me to the punch and given away a makeover from Derek J.

I was like ‘Hol’up! that’s MY stylist!”

[FLASHBACK: An Ode to Derek J (VIDEO)]

Derek J has taken me from weave to natural and back to weave again… I’ve gone from 16inches of Brazilian to 30 inches of Malaysian (yeah… I’m extra, but whatev)!

I’m certainly NOT one of his celebrity clients but the great thing about Derk is that he treats you like you are. He’s amazing and I’m honored to put my head in his hands.

But enough about me… this is about YOU! I pulled a Nene Leakes and decided to do what Sandra did.

My dear loyal StraightFromTheA readers, one of you is about to be blessed with a free hairstyle from Derek!

Details below…

Here’s the deal, I didn’t put way to much thought into this but I really wanted to do it NOW before Derek jetted off on one of his worldwide grand tours, so here goes.

To enter, send my a photo of yourself reppin’ the “A”… (you know how we do) and an email describing why you think you should be the recipient of a makeover by Derek J.

Send your entries to [email protected]

Deadline for email submissions is Wednesday October 24, 2012 at 5pm. No photo/no entry.

See… that’s it. Simple and plain!

Derek is based out of Atlanta, so if the winner selected is out of state, they would be required to provide their own travel arrangements and accommodations.

Good luck!
