I'm about a year into my natural hair and let me tell you something I can't stand: when people imply that women who don't have natural hair "want to be white" and "hate themselves." ugh...get OFF it ( Read more... )

i got new hair. i don't really like it. i got those kinky twists that i feel like everyone and their mom has, which is one reason i don't like it. i just wanted to twist my natural hair for the wedding i'm going to today, but the woman misunderstood me on the phone. when i arrived, she said they don't really do short hair there, and since the ( Read more... )

Here I am, posting again. You can tell I'm pretty much alone in the office today. I think I'm just nervous. I made the appointment for the big chop. Which isn't that big since my hair is pretty short already. i went to the store last night to buy some products for my new natural hair, and between being completely lost on what to buy, I had a mini- ( Read more... )

I went to get a touch up at the hairdresser today, and when he was done washing it, he asked how I wanted it styled. hmm... hadn't thought about that. In a last minute decision, i just said, why not cut it? so I told him even out the long side and do whatever to it because he knows what he's doing.

I felt like such a ( Read more... )

i looooooooove that song by Daughtry. I hear it on the radio just about everyday and I've been meaning to download it at home, then I finally decided to find out who sang it today and I was just like, "DAMN this white boy is good." I wasn't into AI last season, but whenever I caught it, I would say, "this guy is going to be big." I really hope he ( Read more... )

upon further inspection, the hair is actually very cute. it needed its time to stop going every direction but where I wanted it. Before I left the house, I had a Krusty the Clown type thing going on. part was up, the other part went to the sides. I just threw a headband on and put it in a messy ponytail. when I got to work though, the ponytail ( Read more... )

so i've been tempted to go natural for a while, i'm sitting here playing with my effed up do to say the least, and it only seems more tempting. my problem is i don't know what hair styles i could have without relaxed hair and I'm not ready for locs just yet. i'm not even interested in natural because of all the "your hair will be healthier" jazz, ( Read more... )
