i have not had a bad hair day in a while. okay, wow, even typing that out is surprising. now that i think about it, mid last year they were happening every other day it seemed. i just could.not. get my hair to do what i wanted it to do. i’m pretty sure you’ve been there too, let down tremendously after a braid or twist out, tried a style that you thought would look good on you but instead made you look overly frumpy. hey, it happens and what does it matter in the long term anyway? it’s just hair, right? well, not if you ask dr. diller.
a new article on the huffington post looks at the relation between good hair days and how we feel about ourselves. being natural, this may come as no surprise, as we all are well aware that how we feel about our hair can affect more than just our day, it can in many cases, seriously affect our lives and our children’s lives. in her article, “the psychology behind a “good hair day”, dr. vivian diller, Ph.D details how, how we handle our good and bad hair days can affect our overall well-being. she points out that: [click to continue…]

viola davis recently pulled out all the fashion and hair stops to show off her bawse side for l.a. times magazine. wearing black on black on black in her jason wu stunners, viola is vibrantly beautiful – her dark skin glowing and her natural hair creating a frame to her face that is endlessly beautiful.
who would have thought that underneath she was keeping such a fabulous treasure? i’m loving her twa and the way that her hair has a very glowy chestnut hue around the edges. the touches of color add to the delight that she exudes from her face and her timeless smile. [click to continue…]
so the fda has given brazilian treatments the side eye and i for once am in agreement with them. any hair process that shares high potency ingredients that would give mortuaries a run for their money is a bit on the sketchy side for me. when you go in to get the treatment there has to be tons of ventilation and fans and the hair stylist must wear gloves and a mask. the scene is straight out of the movie outbreak and it’s no wonder people don’t feel like they are sitting in the middle of a science lab.

but then i thought, this is supposed to be the last year we are all alive – if you believe in all that armageddon stuff – and i wouldn’t want my fellow kinky girls to go out with dry crunchy hair – no, neva dat, so i needed to up the ante. it’s a new year (the last days depending on who you ask) and i’ve learned a bit more since writing that piece so i’ve been working on [click to continue…]
