Hair’s a little inspiration in case you’re down in the dumps.
Having natural hair is probably the hardest thing you’ll ever go through but its possible and the rewards are great. You have to do your part. If you’re at the point of succumbing to the creamy crack, don’t.
When you find your hair overly dry and brittle, [...]

Hair Regime/Update
With natural hair, you absolutely have to have a hair regime. When I wore a relaxer, I didn’t have a hair regime. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Apparently, I took that bad habit with me with natural hair. I’m trying my best to change and this is what I’ve done!
Quit the daily ”Wash and Go.” Although convienent, this [...]

This is Not Hair Related BUT
I JUST HAD TO POST IT! I got an email forward from my friend about a guy who was deliberately spreading AIDS to women. I heard about him a long time ago and truthfully wasn’t moved until I saw his video. I’m speechlessly disturbed.
So in an effort to be fabulous and naturally famous, let’s educate [...]

Reduce the Puff
I’m falling more in love with my afro but because of my environment (law school, profrossional, etc.), there are times when I simply have to reduce the puff. Here’s what I’ve found useful recently. By the way, my fro is still small so various measures should be taken depending on your hair length. Also, this is [...]

All in a Day
I have a love/hate relationship with shrinkage. Sometimes I like it because it brings out the waviness of my hair. I hate it when I want some length to show growth because I still feel that THERE IS NONE! For length, I end up picking my ‘fro out which has a rougher brillow feel. Shrinkage and [...]

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 [...]

Jobless But Strong
So much has happened. Needless to say – I didn’t get the job. In honor of not getting the job, I decided to wear my fro out even bigger. YES BIGGER! (That’s not the pic below, sorry!) I know I didn’t not get hired for my hair…but still. Wearing my from bigger made me feel [...]

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 [...]
