YAY! New hair color! I'm so excited to share my experience with Clairol Professional Permanent Hair Color! Their Textures &Tones line has two new red shades out – Fire and Cognac. I went ahead and tried Cognac. In this video I outline my at-home coloring experience and showcase my two takes (my hair is super stubborn when it comes to color) to achieve the color I wanted. Take a looksie: (more…)
SO! A day or two after my WEN Hair Care article posted, something happened. The FDA came out and reported that a PLETHORA of women had some pretty CRAZY results from using WEN Hair Care. Hair loss, balding, rash and more are amongst the effects reported by thousands of women. From my post, it should be obvious that I have not experienced any of these effects and (more…)
WEN Cleansing Conditioners for natural hair? UPDATE: Please read my latest post about the recent FDA announcement about the WEN Hair Care products. It's a weeknight, let's sayyyy 1:22am (so maybe the morning of a weekday ), and you fell asleep watching Love & Basketball on TV (again). On the couch you wake up to hear and see an infomercial about the latest celebrity endorsed beauty or hair products....and strangely find yourself intrigued. That was me one night when the WEN Hair Care creator Chaz Dean was on my TV screen talking about a no suds product that cleanses, conditions, deep conditions and more! Yeah right! Right?! It wasn't until I attended BeautyCon Dallas this year that I got a chance to try it. Read on to find out how I got…
Sponsored Post by Lunchbox, Opinions are 100% my own! :) You all know that I love Dove's Quench Absolute line of products for us curly girls. I've found myself grabbing the Absolute Ultra Nourishing Shampoo to clarify lately because it leaves my hair moisturized. There's nothing worse that a dry TWA! I'm ashamed to admit (more…)
Did ya know, did ya know! I'm getting a big chop! If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you already know! I'm excited about a new change to go shorter. Not only am I celebrating the decision to cut it all off and start anew, but I'm inviting women looking for a fresh start to take the journey with me! YEP! If you're looking to return to natural or just need to get rid of your heat damage or relaxed ends this event is your opportunity to do that in an environment that will leave you encouraged and inspired! Faces I get when I tell people I'm getting rid of my hair: (more…)
This post is promoted by Dove Hair “YAYYYY!!!! No more relaxers for me!” That’s what I said when I proudly declined a touch up from a box perm my mother was fixin’ to apply to my head. I was 17 and had absolutely no idea what I was embarking on. A life of no relaxers just meant I would wash and blow dry like always right? Wrong. I was a perpetual straightener. I washed, blow-dried and flat-ironed my hair every single week. Every morning? The flat-iron would be plugged in and ready to glide down my semi-wavy, heat-damaged, half-relaxed strands. Eventually I saw the consistency of my wavy heat-damaged curls (not knowing they were heat-damaged) and didn’t (more…)
This post is promoted by Dove Hair Weather alert! The summer has come to an abrupt end here in Dallas, and fall has set in. I must admit: Most days I love the break in 100-degree weather. The fall leaves and a cool breeze are perfect for a short walk during the day (gotta get my pedometer steps in) or having a cup of tea on my balcony over the weekend. Welp, with colder weather comes the very real need to show my curly, coily hair some attention, and Dove Hair has a new line that will do just that! The Dove Quench Absolute Line is infused with nutrients, protein, and buriti oil, and promises to: 1) Quench hair dryness 2) Strengthen the hair shaft 3) Improve hair manageability 4) Smooth the hair's fiber surface…
