If you don’t hear the sarcasm in my writing, please understand that I am totally against something like this.
I remember hearing something about a product but I couldn’t remember the name…MSG…CTG…MCT? No, its MTG. MTG (Mane-Tail-Groom) is a product that is swiftly becoming popular for ladies who are au naturale. How wonderful! But…MTG is made for [...]

Update on Gel Fast
Like any normal addict, I relapsed.
But I was sober for four days! I added some gel to my hair to go to the whack interview that I mentioned (some entries ago). I’ve been better at not using gel as often as I used to. When I do use it, I’ve only use IC Fanstasia Gel (the pink kind). [...]

Men and Natural Hair
::Sighs deeply::
Men and natural hair. Where do I start? In my observations and experiences, I have a hard time pinpointing a man’s attitdue and natural hair. My ex supported me 100% in going natural which was great, however we were already together for a while before I finalized my decision to go natural. I wonder, if he [...]

Shea Butter Remix
I’ve decided to remix my Shea butter for a number of reasons. First, I can’t stand the smell. At first it was tolerable but GOOD LORD…its funky. I don’t care to smell liked smoked branches. Secondly, I wanted to experiment. I wanted a whipped Shea butter and not a hard chunky/crumbly product. I’m very low on money…obviously [...]

Jobless But Strong

Comparison Pics
Yeah, my hair hasn’t grown out as much as I’d like it to but whatever…THERE’S GROWTH!
In the last pic, I didn’t pick my fro out, I simply finger-combed my hair in a backward direction with Aussi Moist Conditioner and did not rinse it out*. Its an idea that I got from UmmACurlieGirlie who was recently featured on [...]

Gel Fast
I’m going on a gel fast this week for a number of reasons. First, I use way to much of it. It is suffocating my hair and potentially contributing to the dryness. Second, its suffocating my wallet. IC Fantasia Gel is pretty costly. It ranges from $4-6. I used to use it EVERYDAY until I realized that I was unhealthy [...]

Interview!
I have my first interview for a real job since cutting my hair tomorrow! THANK YOU LORD! Although I’ve gotten comfortable with my hair, some of my fears are flooding back. “Will they base their hiring decision on my looks? My hair?” I know I look good in a suit and I’m pretty confident that I can [...]

Meet My Friend Moisture!
If you’re transitioning…you’re probably still wondering how to make your hair more manageable and your edge’s naps less noticeable. Drama.
Braids never hurt nobody. (Yes, double negative.) But if braids, crinkles, and twist-like hairstyles are getting old, try simply wearing it back and maintaining moisture. I think wearing it back will get you accustomed to not having free flowing [...]

Shut Up Already
Because of my crappy Saturday, I decided to do something nice for myself (so I could shut up) and splurge on hair products. I finally purchased a Denman brush! This little suckers are expensive. I got it from Sally’s Beauty Supply and it was $8!! Err?! I HAVE A HARD TIME PAYING FOR CONDITIONER THAT EXPENSIVE! Me? Break [...]
