Taming those Edges

I don't care what I do, flat iron, brush, tie down, gel down, pomade or hairspray, my edges never lay down and I mean NEVER. Well what do you know, during my weekly Wendy Williams watching party, she interviewed Tamala Jones (who I love by the way). During the interview, in classic Wendy Williams' fashion she asked about Tamala's hair and Tamala dished the goods; she talked about having a few "pieces" added for fullness and when Wendy asked about her smooth edges she dished about a product call Tancho stick. She said its the age "behind the scenes" and on movie and television sets; used by celebrity stylists. Well before she could finish her sentence I was googling trying to find out more about this product. Wellllll..... surprisingly its very affordable (under $20) and has been touted as a natural product that can tame even the most "unruly" hair. Hmmm...has my edges met it's match? We shall see in 7-10business days. It's available several places on the Internet, Google Tancho Stick
and you should be able to find it.

I Love my Cotton Candy Hair

I came across a link to this book today while browsing the Internet. Don't the title just make you smile? I have a little niecy poo who has the tightest curliest hair, so pretty and so soft and I think this would be the cutest book for her.
I think one of the biggest misconception about women who wear weaves is that they don’t like their natural hair. Well,underneath all that I got going on top of my head is a my own little cotton candy crown that I love. Well anywho, if you are looking for a gift for your cotton candy angel, you may want to check out this book.

Quick Fix...D.I.Y Clip-Ins

Clip-ins is the Hair Addict's solution to a quick fix. Sometimes a girl just want to add a little length or maybe a little fullness for that extra "POW YOW". Well weaving it up for one night isn't practical and bonding a piece here and there probably isn't the best solution either.
Well.....what is a girl to do?
Clip It In!, now if you don't know what a clip-in is, let me tell ya. Clip-in is a piece of wefted hair with small hair combs sewn at each end of the weft. All you do is part your hair, pop the comb, slide it in and clip it closed. That's it!
Normally it only takes a few seconds per track and the good thing is you can add as many or as little as you like and at the end of the night, pop them right out.

Below is full instructions on how you can make your own with Hair Addict hair.

What you need
-4 oz. of Hair Addict Hair (we are gonna be honest, any hair should do, but of course you should use ours :))
- small wig/toupee clips (the smaller the better)
- sewing needle or weaving needle and thread

Directions
Thread your needle...set aside
Take your bundle of hair, unravel and measure out the desired width of the track and cut.
Take a wig clip, lay it flat on the weft with the comb part facing out
Take needle and thread and sew clip to weft through small holes on wig clip.
Repeat for other end and or add clip in the middle for additional security (optional)
Repeat per desired number of wefts/tracks.



Easy enough...right

S.I.B. Hair

I have been such a bad blogger. Traveling all last week left very little time to blog, but I'm back. So this weekend I was catching up on my DVRed Wendy Williams show episdodes. (Sidenote: It's so funny because I used to not like Wendy Williams but my BFF secretly set the recorder to record her show everyday and now I can't get enough of Auntie Wendy. LOL )
Well anyway, I was catching up and caught the episode with the legendary Diahann Caroll. Ms. Carroll dished with Wendy about her roles and the life of being a diva. I cracked up when Wendy asked her about her hair and Ms. Carroll told Wendy that her hair was S.I.B. hair...."something I bought" hair. Get it Ms. Carroll. I thought to myself, now that is what I am talking about. So next time someone ask you if that is your hair, you can say....yes this is my S.I.B. hair. Here is the clip of Ms. Carroll in her short, sassy, S.I.B 'do.
