Growing Long Hair the Healthy Way
Ever since I was about ten years old, summertime almost always equals a long term protective style. Braids or a weave most specifically. Even my mother does it, around April she starts saying to me: Ebony, what do you think I should do with my hair for the summer? I don't know if anyone else is like that, it seems something about the heat makes us less apt to want to deal with our hair then add in the beach trips and time spent in the pool … [Read more...]
After all the crushing I've been doing on Brandy's curly hair looks, I finally got my own kinky-curly steez! It's been a long-time coming, I was sent this hair from oWigs.com about 6 weeks ago, but it took me that long to make the wig and rebraid my hair in preparation for wearing this unit. First, check out my video showcasing the hair... httpv://youtu.be/XjSWawnUxhQ Okay, now for details on how I made my u-part wig. As I said in the … [Read more...]
I recorded myself applying and styling my Outre Evony half wig featured in this week's wash day post. Although I always make mention of the longevity and quality of good human hair extensions, there really are options for everyone's budget to look great with fake hair. Best of all, half wigs are an awesome protective hairstyle because you can wear little to no hair out and remove it daily for regular moisturizing and sealing. Check out what … [Read more...]
I was visiting family over the weekend (this post is late) so my wash day was at their house. I love that so many of my friends and family have been taking my recommendations of hair practices and products, one because they have products that are hair friendly when I visit! So, I didn't have to pack an arsenal of stuff and basically followed my normal regimen: (1) Prepoo'd with heated EVCO (2) shampooed with sulfate free shampoo [Organix … [Read more...]
I did not record MY process of making this wig, mainly because I didn’t finish the unit in one sitting. There are several steps involved and I’ll do my best to describe exactly how I created my full wig and include the video tutorial already posted to YouTube that best helped me. First you will need to gather your materials: 2-3 bundles/packs of hair: I used bundles of their curly virgin Indian hair from Perfect Locks – two 18” … [Read more...]
I am so excited to share the details of the virgin Indian curly hair I am wearing from Perfect Locks! This hair was sent to me for a review, but believe it or not, I had already decided to purchase hair from this company prior to them contacting me. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to review their product; It may not be a big deal to anyone else but I never want to develop a sense of entitlement or become desensitized to the honor … [Read more...]
After I took down my Beyonce Inspired Updo from last weekend, I basically wore a bun all week. I haphazardly moisturized and sealed this week mainly with Bee Mine Deja’s Hair Milk and grapeseed oil…but never thoroughly. I didn’t comb my hair all week either, simply removed the ponytail holder at night, threw on my bonnet and smoothed back up into a messy high bun each morning. By time I reached wash day, my hair didn’t really feel … [Read more...]
I hate to always reference things I've said or posted via social media, but seriously if you follow me via Twitter, Facebook or Instagram then you already know how excited I have been about my recent installation of the Hollywood 10 Minute Sew In! I took several photos with my phone when I first got it done then realized I wanted to wait until I had some where to go before recording my initial install video so I could get extra cute to do the … [Read more...]
