Thinning Ends!

Picture taken from:  The Natural Haven GET 10% OFF ANY product purchase at Curl Kit Shop!  Hit the link below! http://curlkitshop.refr.cc/TR98DS7 I faithfully moisturize my hair on a daily basis.  However, lately I noticed that the ends of my hair seemed to be a little see through.  So, I decided that I needed to alter or rearrange my hair regimen. I have been a faithful "wash n' go" wearer and recently noticed that I had retained length but the ends of my hair seemed to be thinning. I found a great article by Natural Haven that helps us to understand why this happens: Food for Thought : Picture By:  JustGrowAlready Trimming could allow your hair to attain a longer length. It sounds strange but what my fellow lab rats discovered is that hair will grow until it reaches a critical length when it appears to grow  slowly or not at all (Journal of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists, pg 155-75, 1978.). To understand why this happ...

Was I Staring?

Image
Have you been witness to stopping in your tracks when you saw a sista walk by with some bodacious hair?  I have found myself guilty of that very thing!  It truly wasn't my intentions but since this natural hair revolution has been on trend, the textures, colors, and styles of natural hair has been in the forefront of style! There is this one young lady that steps onto the train with various shades of blonde-colored tresses.  Her fro is big and puffy and her stride is just as large!  It makes me want to take a double look!  Amongst of train full of flowing tresses, her hair refuses to take a back seat!  It seems to take great delight in the fact that it refuses to lay down!  Her curls politely waves as the air flows through it.  It is obvious that I'm not the only person that sneaks to take another look.  The onlookers are privy to another option of style that refuses to play coy games but takes great delight in knowing that you "it m...

Is that a New Hair Style?

Image
In a matter of 15 minutes I had two women ask me "Is that a New Hair Style?!  Of course, I had to remember what I had done to my hair!  LOL! The first woman had been sitting across from me on the train when I noticed that she just kept staring.  I kept looking away because I didn't know what she was really looking at when you finally asked the question.  She said she had "never seen my hair looking like that before!"  So, I went on to explain to her what I had done and she responded that she "wished her hair would do that!"  She went on to tell me how "nappy" and unruly her natural hair was. I tried to convey to her that ALL hair types need to be worked with and explored. The second woman walked behind me to the street light and then asked the same question.  She was wearing Havanna Twists and they were beautiful!  Again, the reply was how she wished or desired to have a different "TYPE" of hair!  She is a natural and have been f...

Karen's Body Beautiful Super Duper Hydrating Hair Cream

Image
Price:  6.7 ounces for $16.00 http://shop.karensbodybeautiful.com/product-p/1013.htm I've been sitting on the sidelines for a while visiting karen's body beautiful website.  My first impression was that it was sleek, elegant, upscale and inviting.  I like the presentation of his jars and bottles and thought that the owner, Ms. Karen Tappin, had put a lot of thought and time into the presentation of her product line. My story begins when I received a sample of karen's body beautiful's Super Duper Hydrating Hair Cream in  September's Curl Kit.  It was approximately a 1 ounce sample but I loved it and decided to make a regular size purchase.   I received my purchase within a couple of days and I thought that was a good sign of good service.  However, when I opened the jar and the contents were way below the neck of the jar!  Let's just say that I was not "a happy camper!" I had never had to write a "negative" product review an...
