A Little Trim

When I got my hair colored, once it was flat ironed it was undeniable that I needed something....A trim to be exact. I was so used to getting my ends trimmed every time that I got a relaxer that it became a routine, I never had to think about it. Since there has been a change in that routine, I HAVE to start thinking about it. How often do you guys get your hair trimmed? My sister suggested I flat iron it every 8 weeks and go to a place like "Great Clips" to get a trim. I'm trying to find a balance between doing what I know is healthy for my hair, and wanting to retain all the length.......More details to come

Do You Accessorize?

So I saw a post by Miss G Chic at Fashion Love Affair that had a veiled headband from Nordstrom that I instantly fell in love with. I went to buy it, only to find it's an online only purchase :-( But, I was able to get another headband that was feathered. Anywho, the post got me thinking. Headbands do wonders for my style in general. It just seems to SET IT OFF. The headband doesn't even have to be extravagant, it can be a simple black headband. What do you guys where that gives your hair that extra oomph?

Hey RED!

Hey red! Hey red! I have heard this comment so many times in my life, and most times my hair wasn't even red. For those who know me, you know I have dyed my hair red numerous times. Whether is was using the temporary jazzings to add a cherry cola tint that you can only see in the sun, or if it was my Charlie Baltimore red, where I got it bleached first then dyed, RED has been my color. Previously, I always had relaxed hair when it was dyed. And for those who have been through this process, you know it looks and feels great the first 4-6 weeks until you have to go in and get that relaxer. Man, it use to be a painful event. After the relaxer was in, while at the shampoo bowl, I knew that my hair would shed, well more than shed, break off. Every time, so much hair would come out that I would swear I had a bald spot, but because my hair is super thick it never was. It just appeared slightly thinner.

This was my first time coloring my hair while "natural." I got it dyed, but at first, it was not the color I wanted. It looked more copper than the bloody red I wanted. I looked a little washed out, or as my best friend said...I looked albino. So we tried again the next day. It got closer to the red that I was going for, but still not right on. I like it though. I do feel like it has changed the texture of my hair. It feels more brittle, but I guess it means I need to moisturize more often. I've worn it both in an Afro and flat ironed, and I do like!.......More details to come.
