Kenya Moore Talks Hair on Longing 4 Length!

I can honestly say I have never watched an episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but from everything I hear (Wendy Williams keeps me updated!) many viewers have a love-hate relationship with Miss Kenya Moore.  I can’t speak on that, but I actually saw her win the Miss USA pageant and I was so proud and… [Continue Reading]

Salon Visit & Hair Update

Liquid Gold Hair Growth Oil Review

I was so excited for my salon visit last week a few weeks ago (sorry it took me so long to update you)!  I know it is quite popular in the online healthy hair world for women to be super proud of the fact that they never visit the salon anymore and do everything themselves, but that is so not me.  A good stylist can turn your hair out like you can only dream to do at home, in my humble opinion.  The major issue for me is finding a stylist you … [Read more...]

Springtime Watercolor Nail Art Tutorial

watercolor nail art tutorial

I had caught a few watercolor nail art tutorials around the web for the past several months or so before finding a technique that was quick and easy enough for me to try.  In general, I don't like complicated nail art - although I'm sure some of you may beg to differ.  This was my first time doing watercolor nails, and I only wore them while on vacation, but I must say I did like the look and I'm sure my next attempt will be even better. … [Read more...]

June Goals!

monthly-goals

I cannot remember the last time I posted monthly goals.  Shame, shame, shame on me!  A few of my fave hair friends in my head posted theirs which inspired me to commit to some of my own.  Thanks Jen and Kathy! Because I am wearing a sew-in weave, I don't have to do a lot to my hair.  I intend to wash weekly using Hair One. Deep condition twice. Use zero heat on my leave out except for my roots. That is it as far as hair care is … [Read more...]

New Hair, New Style, New Me!

Bob Cut-3

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...]

Liquid Gold Hair Growth Oil Review: Before and After

Liquid Gold Hair Growth Oil Review

As promised in my recent hair ramble, I am finally back to give my thoughts and most importantly comparison photos for my full Liquid Gold Hair Growth Oil review.  To be real, there are only two very important things I want to know when seeing a growth aid review:  whether or not it works - with proof if possible - and if there are any side effects. Well, I can tell you that it absolutely works.  I took the before and after pictures for … [Read more...]

Can the Weave & Weave Nots All Just Get Along?

My brother and I circa 1986

Once upon a time there was a little girl from a small city in New Jersey who had thick, kinky hair.  She grew up getting her hair braided every week - the time spent sitting between her mother's legs as her hair was manipulated into intricate cornrow designs are some of her most precious Mommy-Daughter memories.  But then, when the little girl became a preteen, cornrows were too childish and since her mother (thankfully) refused to put a … [Read more...]
