There are so many things that can go wrong with a chemical process. Contrary to popular belief, faulty chemical processing can happen at home or in a professional environment. And it can take on many different forms. Hair can be destroyed by a bad application of color, relaxer, texturizer, or even alternative straightening methods like […]
With so many choices available, choosing how to wear your hair can become overwhelming. It can be overwhelming if you actually sit down and attempt to choose. Most people came to their current hairstyle by default. How many times have you heard someone with long hair say, “I’ve always had long hair” or “My hair […]
Wearing a short style like a pixie cut can do wonders for your style. It’s like a statement piece to your entire wardrobe. By the same token, if you have short hair that is unkempt, you can go from 10 to 0 in no time flat. Disheveled short hair is one of the worst hair […]
Over processing is a disastrous experience. I have been through it on more than one occasion. I have done it to myself while maintaining my hair at home and I have also had a licensed stylist over process my hair while applying a relaxer. There are a few things to remember when dealing with over […]
Some of us are do it yourselfers by nature, while others are more comfortable leaving certain things to the professionals. Hair care is one of the topics that people usually have very strong opinions about when it comes to pros versus diy’ers. While natural hair has taken the bulk of the black hair care audience’s […]
A lot of you who are still relaxing your hair may wonder why isn’t my hair growing? I buy all these products, why isn’t anything working? Why is my hair so dry all the time, and the list goes on and on and on. What if I told you that you don’t need a whole […]
I rocked a short pixie cut for about 5 years. I loved shedding the veil I was hiding behind –my hair. Deciding to cut my hair took me on an emotional love-hate rollercoaster. For one, I got it cut and then didn’t know how the heck to style it. The journey I embarked on with […]
Once I hit my 5 year natural journey I felt like I could actually do this “natural thing.” I mean, there I was a fresh wash n go, and deep conditioning treatment, and I even posted a photo with the hashtag #naturalgirlsrock. I mean, I was natural and proud, or so I thought. When I […]
By now, we all know that long, healthy relaxed hair is a thing that some of us don’t get to see because it can be quite tedious to achieve. But like everything else, once you learn the dos and don’ts, all you need to do is be consistent and then it’s easy from there. However, […]
I’ve always been an athletic girl; for as long as I can remember my mother had me in soccer, basketball, and then when I got to middle school I started running track, and it stuck with me throughout college and even financed my tuition through a full scholarship. Along with being uber athletic, I was […]
I don’t know about you, but my very first relaxer was done in my kitchen by my mother, who is not a licensed cosmetologist. I do think that going to a salon and letting a professional relax your hair is the best option, however, if you need a touch-up but don’t have the funds to pay […]
Many women of color rely on protective styles as a way to maximize hair growth and to not have to deal with managing the upkeep of their hair for a period of time. I personally love getting box braids or twists because the extra time in the mornings and the eliminated lengthy wash day gives […]
Ever since I could remember, my mother did my hair. It was our Sunday evening routine. We would come home from church, she would cook dinner, or maybe take a nap and then cook dinner, or maybe start my hair and then cook dinner, but whatever the order, my hair was always on the agenda. […]
Being a teenager was a really exciting time for me because I knew that I was going to gain a little bit more independence and responsibility. With that came me being a little bit more flexible with my look—this included being able to do my own hair the way I really wanted to. I […]
One of the biggest debates among black hair is whether relaxing a child’s hair is considered to be ok. For me, I personally had my hair first relaxed when I was 5 years old. I was enrolled in a dance company and had a photo session one day and the recital the next. While my mother […]
So, the other day I was having a conversation with my mom and my sister about some of the decisions that my mom made concerning our hair. My sister is 5 years older than me, so for as long as I can remember, my sister’s hair has always been permed. I, on the other hand, […]
