MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Hair Art or Hair Horror

If you have ever taken the time to browse YouTube you know that you are likely to come across a little bit of everything. I often cruise Youtube watching makeup reviews, tutorials, hair tutorials, etc. Well this past weekend while on YouTube I came across a slew of videos by a hairstylist by the name of Seaborn. Now, I have heard of this stylist before on a hair board but didn't take the time to watch the videos. But on this particular day, I decided to check him out......and WOW!!!!!
Don't get me wrong, I am a "whatever floats your boat" type of girl, but at what point does creativity cross the line of being art to being just down right atrocious. After watching the videos, I will be the first to admin, Mr. Seaborn, is c-r-e-a-t-i-v-e and have skills, but really? However in the same token, it doesn't seem like he is hurting for clients. I have no judgement either way because as the old adage says "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", but I am asking you...would you behold any of these styles?

Product Spotlight

It can be so hard to find a really good product at a great price that works on both your hair and your hair extensions. Well not anymore. I picked up some Dove Instense Damage Shampoo and Conditioner after reading about it on hair forums and other beauty blogs I thought for $5....why not. Let me tell you this conditioner works! Not only did it make my hair super soft but my hair extensions were like brand new. On top of all that it smells good too, not overly frangrant but smells fresh and clean. You can pick it up pretty much anywhere, I purchased mine at WalMart. I read that it works for most hair types and probably works really well for hair that has been overly processed, heat damage etc. Try it and let me know what you think.

I'm Closing In.....

So I am finally taking the plunge and trying a closure. For those who are not familiar with a closure, it is a hairpiece that is sewn where your leave out would normally be, it closes off a full weave so to speak. I have been very hesitant to try one because of the concern that it wouldn't look realistic. Well I decided to take the plunge and just do it, who better to be a tester for my own product than myself....right? Since I have been wearing a straight weave, I have had to flatiron my hair and being that I am going 100% natural through weaving, I don't want my natural curl pattern to be destroyed by the constant heat I am subjecting it to. So stay tuned, I should have a new style, new closure and new look in about a week and half or so. Oh and did I forget to say a new color? Since I don't have to worry about damaging my own hair with hair color (since none will be left out) I am going to try something new. I want to go as light as I can go being a dark skin brown girl without looking C-R-A-Z-Y. What colors do you suggest? Here are a few of my fave brown girls doing color right (IMO).

Curls B Poppin'

I get alot of questions from customer purchasing curly hair and want suggestions on how to make their curls pop. From being on hair boards and stalking other hair blogs and watching You Tube videos, the sensation known as Plopping and or Plunking has come up as the solution to your curly hair woes. Curlies of all different textures and ethnicities seemed to have had success using this method. So it must be good right? Well....I tried it when I had my virgin curls and when done right, it had my curls poppin'! It gives the curls definition because it elimates...well drastically decrease the level of friziness. SO it is safe to say I am a believer!

The general idea is that after washing and conditioning your hair, you wrap your hair in a specific way and allow the curls to form until it is semi-dry . No touching, no manipulation. I don't really understand the magic of what is going on in that shirt, but I will say it worked for me and worked for the customers I have suggested it to. Here is a video from You Tube.
