99c or something like that!!




Ladies if you run your fingers through your hair or weave( especially that weave) and your fingers come to a stop and you suddenly cant take them out and they stuck, you either got a very Cheap weave or you aint brushing your hair. If you think im being mean or whatever try let your BOYFRIEND RUN HIS FINGERS THROUGH THAT WEAVE and see that look on his face.

Any hair that aint Brazilian,Indian, Mongolian, Peruvian is considered Cheap hair these days, I mean we  cant all afford it. The usual weaves like the one they call 100% human hair is great too, u can tong it, curl it, straighten it and it looks more and blends in with our African kinky hair so why the hate. Plus you can run ur fingers smoothly through it . the market price is about R 80/10 USD  for 10’’ .

Come on now!!!

Black womens Hair HATES WATER


Black women have the Impression that water destroys hair, destroys the hair style and will do anything to avoid any contact with water whatsoever .  my hair hates  water,

·         when I relax my hair and it comes in contact with water it goes frizzy

·         When I don’t put my hair in a shower cap in the bathroom it goes frizzy

·         A steamy hot shower or a hot bubble bath moment is ruined continuously worrying about what the water could to the  hairstyle.

·         Black women wont swim because they are scared WATER will ruin their hair.

·         A sweaty work out at the gym will mess up a hairstyles

Those are just excuses !!!!!

I know women who wash their hair when they are about to get a new hairstyle  and only when it comes out 8 -10 weeks later. How disgusting!!!!You cant oil your hair every 2 days throughout the duration of a hairstyle and not wash your hair even once im sure ya’ll have come across hair that smells. Dust accumulates in your hair and with oil the hair will start to not looking very nice and worse smell. Greasy dirty hair doesn’t look nice either especially with weaves. Come on ladies WASH YOUR HAIR OFTEN!  Your scalp has skin its like not washing part of your body for like months, its so unhygienic .

I find that its mostly the people who get braids are the ones that will go for about 10 weeks without washing their hair as they believe washing the braids will make the braids look untidy and old. I been there thinking that too , it has nothing to do with water , it definitely has to do with your braider’s skills.

Ladies lets not make excuses to avoid wash our hair, moisture is good for your hair and water does just that.

OIL VS WAX

                                                                               VS

My scalp recently discovered and felt the differences between oil and waxed based hairfoods. I prefer oil based. I have in the past 2 years used mpl , castor oil and alma oil, and serum. I find waxed based hairfoods are a bit sticky and don’t leave room for your hair to be free and flowing( as my friend would say hair that blows with the wind). I just hate it when you get a nice weave done then you see the hairdresser dip her hand (yes hand) into that big jar of petroleum jelly to apply on it.Is it just me or what but I think only your real hair shoul d be oiled. It seems like , well to hairdressers the shinier the weave the better looking.

Sorry had drifted from the main topic. Waxed based hairfoods are a bit heavy usually after application , a blow dryer is used  to melt it in the hair. I have noticed that when you get braids and have been using wax based hairfood  u start seeing white dust particles accumulating under each braid which creates knots and makes your hair hard to comb, while  with oil your hair is more manageable to comb after the braids.

A little oil goes a long way and covers a larger surface area so you don’t need to use a lot as it can drip down your face if you use too much.

Oils are a great way to lock in moisture, and control frizz! Some oils can feel greasy, and leave your hair feeling weighed down. But here are some great oils that penetrate quickly and are excellent at nourishing from scalp to tip, without that residue feeling!!

I relaxed my hair!!!


Hey guys sorry I been a bit quiet and haven’t blogged in awhile. So let’s continue from where I left off. The last article was about my hairline update. I got my hair relaxed after that update. Before my final decision I was torn between relaxing or going natural again, so I choose relaxing. I have told you guys how my texlaxed  hair just wouldn’t relax so I gave my hair one more chance after I undid my weave. Ever since I started I relaxing my hair I had been self-relaxing it so this time I decided to let the hairdresser do it incase I might not have been doing it right and guess what, it came out so well it was actually over relaxed. I washed it after 2 days as I thought it was over-fried during the relaxing process so I wanted to make it a bit thicker. I used TCB super relaxer so since it was successful I will continue to use it from now on. My next relaxer  will be beginning of January 2013 which will mark my 12 weeks from the previous one. Currently I have a full weave. I begged my hairdresser to still leave out my hairline as its still in the process of recovery and im still contuining with my castor oil regime. Im a one product type of person so I only use castor oil in my hair and nothing else.
