Relalxed vs. Natural::For transitioning ladies





Here lately I have received a few questions about going natural without doing the "Big chop" (cutting the relaxed ends off.) ....Well going natural is not easy for everyone especially for those who relax their hair every 4-6 weeks.  Here is some things that i would recommend before going natural.


-Explore the reasons why you want to go natural
- How dedicated are you to dealing with potentially frustrating hair
-Are you willing to commit to taking care of you hair on a daily basis?
-How often are you willing to snip-away relaxed ends?


There are a lot of things to consider when going natural. You have to get to know your hair, & your new growth....you also have to find a product that work well with your hair to help moisturize your hair and keep it healthy during your transition. Please be aware that going natural IS NOT EASY! You have to give you hair at least 4 months to begin to see a significant amount of new growth. "PATIENCE is a VIRTUE" because you are going to need it.

The Journey Continues....

Hello All,

Product Pic of the Week: Moroccanoil Luminious Hair Spray



Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray
 I adore all of Moroccanoil's products they are simply amazing. If you havent tried their oil treatment you should try it, its anazing. I use the oil treatment on my hair before I blow-dry.... I use it as a heat protectant and  a conditioner before I begin the blow-drying process. Its weightless, and you can use it on any hair texture without the oily residue look & feel. Just remember that a little bit goes a long way, not much oil is needed.  Moroccanoil has another product that I just used for the first time and I feel in love with it...its the Luminous Hairspray. This hairspray is not sticky, has a weightless hold, and gives a shine to the hair with no residue or flaking after you spray. This product can also be used on any hair type....so try it & let me know what you think!

One Bob, Many different looks :)

The Bob debuted its look in the late 1920's and has snce reappeared many times a TREND since then! There are 3 Key elements to a fierce bob

1. The Cut
 2. The Style
 3. The Color







Shellac-in-it UP!!!

What is Shellac?? Shellac is a traditional nail polish & UV Gel Polish used to create an overlay on your natural nail. Unlike soak off gels it comes in a polish bottle and it cures & dries under a UV Lamp, There is no BUFFING & NO DAMAGE done to the natural nail.....
So I got the oppurtunity to try the Shellac Nail Polish & I'm in Love. I wanted to see what all the rave was about the new "gel nail craze" that supposedly lasts for 14 days. It just so happen that we were studying sculptured nails that week in school so my teacher used me as a demo for the shellac! Not only was I happy to be the model, but the service was fre! woo hoo! lol!
The color that was used for my nails was the CND Rouge Red and I loved it.
The process was a tad bit tedious but quick! Today is day:12 and my nails are still shiny & smooth w/ no cips in my nail paint :)  I give the CND shellac two thimbs UP!! Going next week to get it donr again ;)


Happy New Years :)

Ive been crazy busy lately and havent been able to blog!  But I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
