FEVAH....Giving me Fevah

I have been very much on the fence about what is next for what is going on up top, yes the top of my head. This would be the second week wearing my natural hair and I love it, but I think I want it shorter...I know yesterday I wanted it longer but TODAY I think I want to go shorter. Now for the record I really only have one week to decide and I am toiling. But let me tell you when I came across this picture of Taraji....I was sold, short hair ....it's gonna be. Her bob is giving me all types of fevah...yes it is HOT! So that solves it, I will be weaving me a bob, short and sassy while keeping my growing locks in tact (no. 1 reason I love wearing a weave). So I will be sure to post pics.

We Introduce you to....

I am always so excited when I get new hair in, I guess its the hair addict in me. Each bundle has me day dreaming of what I am going to next with my hair. Side Bar: I am currently wearing my natural hair and as much as it has grown and is thicker and healthier, I am already plotting on my next install.

I figure I will give it another week or two and on the next....

Okay...Back to my post: Well new hair always make me excited and this week has been double the pleasure and double the fun. Our Bella collection is back and I couldn't be more excited, it's beautiful y'all (in my California imitating Texas drawl). Now the only thing that can make me more excited than our Bella being back is our new line.....Virgin Malaysian Remy. Now I don't know if you know this but Malaysian hair was my first "premium" sew-in. So here I am full circle, selling my own line of Malaysian luxury hair. Loves it!

Psst......And its on sale starting off at $59 ...and Bella starting off @ $100.00

What is a post without pics?....

BELLA...ELLA...ELLA...AYE

2 Minute Hair

If you are like me, I am NOT a morning person, which is one of the reasons I love my 2 minute hair style. When most people get a weave, they always ask me "How do you wrap your hair up at night?" Well too be honest it really depends on where I am going the next day and how I am planning on wearing my hair that day. But more times that not I prepare my hair for bed using my two minute method so when I wake up I only have to spend two minutes on my hair. To do the same thing all you need is few flexirods (I only use two large ones) (pictured below) and a couple of bobby pins (I only use two). The number of both really depends on your desired style. I first part my leaveout or bang in the front and loosely pincurl it laying flat (the tighter you roll it, the tighter your curl will be) one pin curl on each side of my part. This takes care of the entire front of my hair. I then part the back into two section and roll my hair with one flexirod on each side, tie my scarf and I''m done. In the morning, I unroll the flexirods and take out the bobby pins, shake my head up and down to loosen the curls and go. Miraculously it appears like I have a head full of curls and a perfect bang. *Tip: If my curls are too tight, I take a low heat flat iron or curling iron and go over the curl to loosen it up a little bit.

Flexi rods (they come in different colors, I use the purple ones for medium size curls)



Here is a youtube video on flexi rods and pin curling

Pincurling


The best thing about both is you are minimizing the amount of heat you put on your hair, and whether you are wearing a weave or your natural hair, the less heat the better.

Beauty is Skin......Deep

I get so excited when I come across a new product that I have never heard of...now warning this post is not hair related. Well again I found myself on YouTube waching AfricanExport's YouTube channel. In this particular video she was answering questions on her skin care regime and the products she uses (Black soap was amongst her staples). Now don't get me wrong I hav heard of Black Soap and have known many people who have used it on their skin (ironically enough they all had fabulous complexions), but ironically enough I've never tried it because I wasn't sure how my skin would react to it, and I thought it only came in bar soap form. Well AfricanExport mentioned that there is indeed a liquid form that she not only uses on her face, but she uses it on her skin and hair (so I guess this is a hair post). It is all natural and claims to be gentle in cleaning your skin, moisturizing and fading blemishes. WDYT?

FYI....Here is the video...You can skip to 3:45 to hear about the Black Soap.

Dream Curls

Well first let me say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope your New Year's was fun and fab.
Well I have been a little M.I.A and since I haven't blogged since Christmas, I hope Santa brought you lots of goodies, love and good time with family and friends.

Now on to the good stuff, I wanted to dish about one of my favorite gifts I received that was high on my Christmas wish list..... a clipless curling iron.
The one I received is under the brand Ginalli Milano but there are a few other brands out there; Le Anglique and Enzo Milano. Well anywho I love it because it's pretty much fool proof and the results are great. It even comes with a heat glove so you don't burn you fingers :)
The best thing is the price, they aren't crazy expensive if you shop around. They have tons on Ebay priced between $35-50. If you try it out, let me know what you think.



Here is the video on YouTube was the inspiration for putting it on my Christmas wish list.


And here is me for my birthday after curling my hair
