Best Hair Type Chart On The Net!

RenieceHairTV on YouTube put up one of the best hair texture charts I've ever seen using the clients from her salon. I just wanted to give her a shout out and tell everyone to comment, rate, & subscribe to her channel. Oh, and one more thing. Pass on her videos, they are amazing!

Hair Update for May 18, 2013

I've bunned, wigged, washed, conditioned, set, twisted, braided, protective styled my hair to the gods for the last five months. I woke up 2 days ago tired and with a headache. Something in my spirit told me I could pull my hair back no more.

I needed to see what was really good in that jungle of new growth. So I washed my hair, sprayed it with heat protectant spray, and got to work with the flat iron. And I mean I gave it that work! Took forever to get through it.

Almost gave up but I'm not one to walk around with all of my hair pressed. I finally finished and was able to drag myself to a bigger mirror to what has been going on up there for the past 5 months. And here is what I saw...

Update on BFF hair progress!

So folks that have been following me for a minute know that I brought my friend into this hair journey I've been on. She was kind enough to believe in what I suggested to stick with it since the spring of 2011. I could NEVER express in words her progress so here are the photos. May they inspire many to keep going.

Oh yeah, she is a type 4C, from relaxed to mildly texlaxed (done once a year). Her routine is similar to mine. Only difference is she uses more castor oil than I do in my mix (hers is 50/50 castor oil/olive oil).

My Go To Twists!

When I don't want to bothered with combing my hair these twists get the job done. I wash/co-rinse them, moisturize & seal them, and wrap then to keep them smooth just like my loose hair. And yes, I even bun them to protect my ends! I don't have fake hair added. This is just twists with the hair on my head.

Henna For Strength

I usually wait until the last Sunday of every 2nd month to do a henna treatment (if I don't opt for Aphogee instead) but I am in great need of one so tomorrow it is.

This is one of my most favorite things to do to keep my hair strong. It helped me get to MBL pretty darn well by retaining my length. I got a lot less breakage using it because it was added protection to my ends.

New Year New Goals!

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday! I wore my hair natural for Christmas and straight for New Years. I may not wear my hair straight for a long time so New Year's may mark the date of the last time I see my here because I'm going back in the bon mot in a little bit. I'm trying to reach that new goal of waist length so I have to be on my grind.

Happy Holidays!

I've been very busy this holiday season but just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and happy new year. I've been lazy with my hair but not in a very damaging way. I still co-rinse and I'm still very gentle.

Dark Skin Bright Color?

Quick blog. Just had to write that I'm going through changes. Good changes. One being color. Now listen, I've been wearing the nude lip way before it was popular. Mostly because as a dark skinned chick I was afraid to play with color. I only ventured away from the nude lip to go darker brown a few times, that's how boring I was. So naturally I'm ready for a drastic change.

So I decided to get some color in my life. I'm still in the experimental phase but I've learned a thing or two from YouTube divas. One is get a few lip liners to make all things possible. So I'm messing with medium and dark brown liners as well as purple. I use the purple to offset the pink lipsticks I bought and the browns for everything else.

More To Come

It's been a long time...

I shouldn't have left you...

Without a dope beat to step to. Step to, step to, step to!!!

Just playing. I've been out of the game for a minute due to an allergy that caused a minor case of hives.

Yikes!!!

Still not 100% sure what caused it but I am narrowing it down. This weekend I hope to make up for lost time on here AND on Hairlista (check out my group on there if you are interested).

More to come soon!
