Screw The Seasonal Colors??????


Hey Dolls......Fall is upon us and as you know I am definitely one to recommend hair colors to coordinate with the seasons...Over the past couple of months(summer) i have been rocking my hair from a light brown with highlights to blond with chocolate underneath....I was definitely loving my color this past season and look forward to new ways for the next summer...As fall is approaching I am getting a bit darker more towards just a basic light brown no highlights...but I am itching to do my Jet Black which we all know is my winter color...So even though i personally have my hair rules....Alot of you have inspired me to say "f*** it" when it comes to having a certain color during a certain season..I have seen ladies rocking jet black in the summer and lighter chocolaty colors in the winter...No real pattern, just whatever the heck they wanna do when they wanna do it...So with that said, I thank you ladies, you have taught the guru something *Hand Claps* to you...I most likely will be pushing my jet black routine up a bit early b/c my fresh-from-summer olive skin will love it...

Have A Great Hair Day!!!!!!

MY NEW LOVE!!!!!!!!!!


Hey Dolls...I know have been gone for a while but i am back and with a new love of mine.....As you all may know I have gone natural since November of 2009....OH NO!!! Not totally natural, like cutting off my locks or wearing curly not str8ened styles... but I have stopped perming my hair and I get wash and sets every 2 weeks in which I use Aphogee products and since then my hair has grown sooo much and its sooo much fuller..I was planning on perming this month when i began this journey but since its so hot ill wait till Fall and then I'll really see my length..
So aside from maintaining my hair I have what we call "Protective styles" which keeps me from touching my hair daily...All I do is wrap my hair and night then wear my "protective style" during the day which is a DRUM ROLL PLEASE: LACE FRONTS...
I had my first encounter with lace fronts when I ordered a $450 one for my wedding in 2008 and i hated it..It did not stay down I literally had my Bridesmaids carry the glue in there bags to the wedding lol..So not cool...But since then I have found a new love for them...Not as pricey and u dont need to glue them down to stay on.. they fit with combs and straps... I have tons of them..Different styles...I lean more towards the curly wet look since my hair is natural underneath it blends a bit better...the picture to the side is my newest one without the lace cut yet...But u can still see how natural it is...

Ladies u can get these synthetic units from just about anywhere... hair sites or your local beauty supply store they are allllll over...they usually are $20-$50 and alot higher priced for the Human Hair ones...
Have A Great Hair Day:)

Progress:)

Hey Dolls....So Last we spoke I was beginning my hair journey which is going quite well.....I use Aphogee products which are great and they are really growing my hair out and making it thicker and fuller I do this every 2 weeks......I also roller set then blowout so that saves me a bundle....My hair is doing great since I am 12 weeks post relaxer (tryna make it to 24 then relax)....I did have some breakage around the temple area which I do recommend Dr. Miracle's Temple & Nape Gro Balm.....U put it on the temple area and nape (neck area) twice a day for 30 days....It smells like vicks vapor rub a lilttle bit but it undetectable to others (My husband couldnt smell a thing)...It tingles a bit when u rub it in but thats normal, means its working.

I also recommend Chi Silk Infusion.....This stuff is like liquid silk....U rub it into the hair just before u rollerset or blowdry and ur hair has shine..bounce...and it feels like silk.. I cant believe I lived without this for so long.....

Aside from stretching my relaxer and washing every 2 weeks I wear a protective style..because in order to see growth its best not to manipulate ur hair too often (Ex:styling it or heat)...Which is why I wear a half wig so I only have to style the front.

Have A Great Hair Day:)

My Hair Journey!!!

Hey Dolls.....I am about to embark on a hair journey and I couldn't be anymore excited.....I have a nice head of hair and as of lately I have learned to love it in its NATURAL state...I'm talking real kinky..BUT I ultimately like my hair str8 so I do relax....My new hair journey is going to consist of stretching which just means going longer without a relaxer more than the typical 4-6 weeks.. I plan on stretching every 6 months meaning I will only be relaxing my hair twice a year...The last time I had a relaxer was in November so I'm at 8 weeks now and still looking good. I go to the salon every 2 weeks for wash and set BUT now I am going to work on my hair alone....I have heard great reviews on the Aphogee product line and I am going to try it out.....Every 2 weeks I will be washing, conditioning, as well as roller setting and a blow out...I brought all the tools that I am going to need and I got a great deal....I ordered like 6 hair products, a Andis ceramic ionic blow dryer(best one on the market) as well as a hooded dryer and guess what that all cost..... Just $63... I was so thrilled... I only will be going to the salon to keep my ends trimmed nicely.. I cannot wait to see the progress:)

Have a Great Hair Day:)
