Hey Y'all!! New Hairdo!

Hi folks.

I know I've been neglecting my board, but I have been really busy lately. I came to show off the hairdo that I wore to the Eric Roberson/Algebra concert. The concert was off the hook by the way. I haven't partied that hard in a long time and I'm definitely going to see Erro again the next time he visits Atlanta!




I braided my hair all to one side and clipped in a puff piece at the end. My real puff isn't that huge yet, so I had to embellish.

I'm soooo Sorry

I haven't made a post in forever, but a lot has been going on with me. I've been extremely busy at work. I've ended a relationship...boo to that, and I recently had a death in the family, so I just haven't felt like posting anything lately. I'm feeling much better about everything now, so I'm baaaaaaaack!!! LOL.

I have plenty of pictures to post for you all and I promise that they'll be up in the next few days.

Thanks for your patience!

R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON

I can't believe this. I am too sad. Michael Jackson is dead at the age of 50.

Oyin Handmade - the results

Can I just say that I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS LINE SO FAR!!! No for real, IN LOVE. So ok, when I got the package I was so excited that I just had to come home and do something to my hair (even though it was already done). I co washed first with my VO5 Herbal Escapes Clarifying Condish and then I used the Oyin Hemp Conditioner as my leave in. It made my hair sooo soft. I was so easy to comb through. After that, I put in some big twists overnight to let it dry. The next day, I used the Whipped Pudding and the Shine and Define together to do some medium sized twists. Can you say THE BOMB. I know I'm wrong because I totally forgot to take pics, but I'm going to re twist this weekend and I promise that the pictures are to come.

First off, the products smell SO GOOD. You just want to inhale them before you put them in your hair. You only need a dab of S&D and WP for each twist. When I say a dab, I really mean a dab. You don't have to use much of this product at all. It totally made my hair soft and pliable. It was just too good for words.

Oh the Greg Juice. I used it and I like the results, but the scent is more suited for my son. He's been using it and loving it, so when I reorder, I'm going to try the Juices and Berries. I've heard great things about that.

I will definitely buy more products to try from this line.

The Nappy Hair Mafia

Have you encountered a nappy mafia member? I have not encountered one personally, but I have definitely seen them in action and they are BRUTAL! Now I love my natural hair, and I avoid putting heat in it. I haven't blow dried my hair in about a year or so and I definitely don't do hot combs or things of that nature. Would I be committing some kind of crime if I wanted to? I mean it is MY HAIR! Kindly giving advice and letting me know in a respectful way that I may be causing myself heat damage is totally acceptable, but beating me up for it is not.

Is a woman that occasionally blow dries, flat irons, or presses their hair on occasion any less natural than the woman that swears by no heat? Maybe some women like the versatility of their natural hair. Is the woman that likes to wear wigs sometimes any less natural than the woman that never wears them? Maybe this woman likes to wear wigs for a change of pace (I know I do!)

I've heard of women on YouTube getting hate emails because they have done tutorials on how to make a kinky hair wig. I mean WTF...for real? I mean....for really real? What gives you the right to send HATE MAIL to someone showing people OPTIONS?? Why are you sending crazy ass emails to folks that do tutorials on blow drying or flat ironing their non chemical treated hair. I'm quite sure that these women got the memo that they may be causing themselves heat damage, so just stop the madness already.

Natural women, can we stop being so damned disrespectful to other naturals? Would it kill you to state your opinion without putting someone else down?

My Saturday and Sunday looks

Yeah, I know my mirror was not as clean as it should have been, but you get the gist of it. I was lovin my fro and yellow flower.
