My hair doesn’t always behave. Sometimes she likes to put her hands in the air, and wave them–you know the rest. Times like these I need something a tad on the heavy side, like this pomade, to make her have a seat. You can check your tresses too with this quick recipe.

it’s halloween time and you know what that means. “trick or treat smell my feet!”, costumes and candy comatose for the little ones and you too if your are anything like me and go scavenging in candy bags for left over candy from the kiddos. bring on the sprees and banana laffy taffy. man, can you imagine if real banana tasted anything like banana candy?! people would be growing banana trees in their back yards.
in honor of cheap candy and sketchy hooker costumes (no really, why are all the costumes hooker versions of something? hooka’ nurse, hooka’ school teacher – hooka’ witch) i’m asking you curly bellas on twitter: WHAT’S YOUR GREATEST FEAR?
mine? well since i was laid out from strep a couple weeks ago that would have to be it. getting that again anytime soon. *shudders* talk about pain and the painful antibiotic shots and all the pills. not the bizness. this photo of me was taken the night before it all went downhill and i woke up with a slight scratchy throat that would knock me off of my feet hours later. hmmm, did my server at the melting pot have it and gave it to me through germs left on that martini glass? i’ll never know. *oh and p.s. i’m drinking sour patch kids martini (and wearing this red lipstick). that martini is the thunder!

have you ever seen that creepy movie rosemary’s baby? well, if you haven’t, in a nutshell, it’s a classic 1968 american horror film. in the film, mia farrow plays a pregnant woman who starts to notice that her neighbors are creepy. and not just a little creepy. she begins to fear that her husband made a pact with them, promising their child as a human sacrifice in their cult in exchange for success in his acting career. in the end, she is sedated during birth and when she awakes realizes that her baby is the spawn of the devil of some sort. see, i told you it was creepy.
for as long as i can remember, people, “the neighbors”, have been always been overly concerned or pressed about celebrity lives. what they eat, who they date, when and how they have kids and who they have them with. beyonce is no exception and in her life she lives next door to millions of “creepy neighbors.” she’s the first uber, black superstar to give birth in a long time so it’s not surprising to find many people who are excited about this time in her life. many are are looking forward to seeing the new addition, delighting in the arrival and moving on with their lives and then there are those “creepy neighbors.” those who are pressed and are what would seem to be obsessed.
right after beyonce announced her pregnancy, i was eating at my favorite local cafe when i overheard a group of friends talking about how [click to continue…]
i don’t think i can ever get tired of looking at hair style videos crafted by naptural. always unique, quick and to the point, i enjoy watching her build her hair styling craft style after style, video after video. when i saw this romantic and sultry hairstyle, i immediately thought, how great would this hairstyle look with feminine charm boots, a silky top with a touch of sheer for just the right bra to peek through and accessories that are a perfect balance of a feminine, neutral feel.
naptural is rocking a beautiful fallen curls type style that took not much time at all. to start, all you need is to [click to continue…]
Sometimes bad bubbly happens to good people – especially around the holidays (so we should all get ready to prepare ourselves). It never fails, some well-meaning friend or family member will show up on your doorstep with good cheer, glad tidings, and a $5 bottle of champagne. (No, they didn’t!) And I know you have one, a cheap relative – we all do. When they show up with that cheap bubbly, don’t get your nose stuck in the air just yet. Although the cheap cost-effective brands of champagne can be a little harsh going down, they mix quite well into delectable cocktails for your stomach and your natural hair. Are you still with me, now? Good! So instead of re-gifting, or worse, pouring the champagne down the drain, break out your good flutes and serve this up for yourself or for a hair cocktail party for you and your girlfriends as you sit around carving pumpkins or wrapping presents. Bubbly over here!

recently i was invited to be part of a pr event to preview and review a new hair product that will be available to the masses by december. i loved the product because the price point is on point and the ingredients in some of the products were premium for a mass produced, soon to-be-found in beauty supply stores hair product. i’m talking first five ingredients being olive oil, shea butter and other premium, naturally found products.
all in all i loved the product line but had a concern about the name, or actually the subtitle descriptor found under the name; a descriptor that included “mixed.” now, don’t get me wrong, i know that some people live and die by the label of “mixed” when describing hair – even though in my opinion there is no such thing as mixed hair – but i found that when reading mixed or any kind of racial descriptions on the hair products during this pr event really made an eyebrow or two in the room rise.
the first thing i though was, “well, is this product [click to continue…]
