Growing Long Hair the Healthy Way
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...]
I've been evaluating my hair and redirecting my goals since the one I have been most focused on for the past couple of years has been rectified (finally). Although I will continue to do everything possible to KEEP my ends thick and healthy, I am not as concerned with overcoming thin ends anymore, hallelujah! So, as this is a journey there will always be a new goal, a new focus, a new priority. Right now, my priority is growth and retention. … [Read more...]
I've been doing a lot of thinking and planning about what I want to do with my hair next now that we are in the FINAL week of our L4LPSC. *cue crowd cheer!* On one hand, as I told you I have started missing my hair! I'm ready to do a length check, see and feel my hair, run my fingers through it, etc. For me, there is a difference between "regular" protective styles such as buns and updos and "hidden" protective styles like braids, weaves … [Read more...]
A few months back we discussed the Natural Hair Debate: Nappy vs. Textured. Today we’re going to discuss good hair and what it really means to have good hair. For many years a loose curl pattern or “soft” hair has been considered “good hair”. However, a specific texture or pattern does not equate to being better. What determines whether you have good hair is your hair’s overall health. The healthier your hair - the better it is, … [Read more...]
My mother recently complained to me after noticing the hair near her nape (a notoriously problematic area for her) had began breaking...yet again She was a bit frustrated because she not too long ago jumped full steam onto the "healthy hair" bandwagon and finally began adhering to a basic hair regimen and was proudly reaping the benefits. After years of having short, fragile hair my mother had somewhat resigned herself to "it is what it is" … [Read more...]
Sooooooo, I haven't felt restricted the entire time of our challenge and in fact was seriously considering wigging, weaving and protecting to full BSL. I have plenty of hair to choose from...and a few things I am excited to do for the first time (such as go blonde), so why not? Well randomly my bestie texted me that she needed to talk to me about something later, but that she was at the hair dresser's at the moment. And picturing her having … [Read more...]
So...I've realized that there are certain looks I only like "on screen." On celebrities, on vloggers, on a movie screen...but on me? I feel a lil bit silly, albeit glamorous The wig I just made is one of those looks. I am so extremely happy with how I constructed the unit and the texture but doggone it...where am I going with all this hair? The funny thing is, it's exactly what I envisioned. My mother actually visited the site to … [Read more...]
After getting everything on my last hair wish list - my hair obsessed self I found more items that are oh-so-necessary for my hair! Okay so that last part may not be exactly true but I do have a few things I think I'd like to have. Replacement Hair Steamer: After my less than great experience with Huetiful - which has as much to do with customer service as it does the unit malfunctioning after just five months of use - I want to replace … [Read more...]
