constance jablonski by greg kadel for numéro #117.
wells, i’m trying to find the words to name this editorial but they are escaping me. “white? mama and black baby on wheat.” no, that does not sound good on the tounge and makes you think of a sandwich. but that’s all i got for now.
constance is a “black” mom, playing with her black baby, in a field of wheat. how original, but i guess cotton plants would have been too tough for that poor baby’s feet. [click to continue…]
it’s not surprising to hear that some women with very kinky and coarse hair secretly covet curls. i don’t judge. it’s not my place to. and how can i, because there was one time when i wanted curly hair. surprised? don’t be, for this is a quite common feeling if even fleeting among many kinky haired naturals. for instance, i know someone who won’t leave the house without ten pounds of eco styler, 2 hours of shingling and 5 hail marys before she walks out the door.
but her efforts are futile. they are futile because she does not naturally have a curl pattern that is easy to decipher so her hair is always in a constant state – when it has not been shingled to death – of cotton, afro, cloud. her twist outs and braid outs don’t last very long and her hair reverts back to cloud, what seems to be her hair in it’s happiest state, if you ask me or the three blind mice.

after being dipped in lukewarm water, the hardest plastic bristle brush in the house was used to brush my hair up – to this day i can still hear my edges, which miraculously stayed in tact, crying out for mercy. the cup, an oversized cup that someone in the house had brought home months earlier from some drive through upgrade special, and it’s faded words, were mine enemy! i hated that cup because when it came out, i KNEW what it meant and i hated that brush too!

i love this updo style. it is truly regal and glamorous! and the best thing about it is that it’s so quick and simple to do.

i’ve had my bottle of devacare arc angel since summer 2009 and it’s still 3/4ths full.
i like this product, though i don’t use it very often. i’m not really a gel girl. it works just like any other gel except, don’t have any activator gels or eco styler in mind. no, this gel is not that heavy, it’s very light and won’t leave your hair crunchy.
