Growing Long Hair the Healthy Way
I've always loved those huge braided chignon hairstyles worn by celebrities to red carpet events and brides and other dressed up women; In my opinion it is one of the most classic and elegant hairstyles ever! However the larger version does not seem appropriate for everyday so I did a more casual version and I really love the way it turned out! httpv://youtu.be/uS76q2Vmvzc I actually wrapped a hair extension around my ponytail (about 1/4 of … [Read more...]
Once I was introduced to luxury brands right after college, I very rarely returned to the beauty supply store for my hair needs until recently when I began working with Vivica Fox Hair. But it seems with the internet age, our accessibility to weave has become SO much easier. Everybody is jumping into the game - setting up websites, advertising via Instagram and YouTube and blowing up overnight. It really can be that easy; I get no … [Read more...]
One of my e-friends, Shay of Perfect Tresses, shared a photo via Facebook a while back of her ONE week progress using the Liquid Gold Hair Growth Oil. Like many of you, I'd seen their ads randomly around the internet but never paid too much attention. However, after seeing her obvious growth acceleration, I decided to order a bottle. I've been using it super consistently since April 22 (thank goodness for the blog as my hair journal) but I … [Read more...]
As you know from recent wash day posts, I have been using the Dabur Vatika Naturals Virgin Olive Deep Conditioning Hair Mask to deep condition. Anybody else think the name of this product is ridiculously long?! Anywhoo, in the earlier stages of L4L one of the most frequently asked questions was if I could recommend any moisturizing conditioners that did not contain ANY protein. I must say, although there are a few I like, this one trumps … [Read more...]
If you know me personally then you know that some describe me as frugal while others describe me as just plain “cheap”. Lol. I used to get offended when people called me cheap but then I realized if being cheap meant keeping money in my bank account I was all of for it. If you’ve seen my “stash” then you probably think my natural hair is sending me to the poor house when in reality it’s quite the opposite. Having natural hair has … [Read more...]
One of my fave former relaxed, transitioned to natural hair bloggers is Ms. D of 6 Foot Long Hair. Partly because she turned me onto my beloved seamless combs from Hercules Sagemen, but also because of the detail in which she documented her journey while long term transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. Although I don't judge anyone for what they choose to do with their hair, I realize one of the major reasons so many women continue … [Read more...]
So, if you're an avid blog reader, I'm sure you've heard by now that Google is doing away with Google Reader. I was sooooo irritated by this whole thing! First they axe Google Friend Connect and now Reader?! What the eff! I have all the ba-zillion blogs I follow nicely categorized by topic (mom, hair, fashion, fitness, nails, couponing, etc) and so I thought now I gotta do that all over again? I just don't have the energy. I can't. … [Read more...]
Every time I post a photo of the beautiful and talented Ms. Kerry Washington, there is always a comment or two from ladies speculating whether or not she is natural or not. Even with the trend of celebrities tweeting and Instagramming their real hair with confirmatory captions regarding the state of their tresses, Kerry's hair length and texture has remained a mystery. But the mystery has been solved! In the June/July 2013 issue of … [Read more...]
