Chellur ya’ll!  Hope the new year is treating you well thus far. I’m back sharing hair pictures, and what happened next to the flatironed updo from the previous post. I already showed this style in this video a while back, but here are some pictures. All I did was take the bun down and braid it [...]

Back to hair stuff … … I’m not gonna lie … lately I’ve been feeling like cutting off the rest of my hair practically every day.  It’s not even like my hair takes up much time. I don’t go out the house much, and usually don’t style it if I don’t. When I wash my [...]

Acouple weeks ago my brother sent me this photo of myself: Glamazini circa 1980 Wook at thowse eyes! I was inspired by the 3 cornrows on the top, and it *just* happened that the very woman who did that hairstyle 30 years ago was staying in my house at the time.  {I’m talking about mommy [...]

I washed my hair once in July #kanyeshrug #dontjudge I’m not even ashamed to admit it. I’d just had a baby, just put my hair into braids literally the night before going into labor, and … well … I left my hair like that for a long time. Before we get into the wash, where [...]

The day before I went into labor I had a hankering to braid the front of my hair. Thank God I did because literally the next day I was giving birth and my hair was totally braided up for my hospital stay. Perfect timing indeed. I started with the “Dollop Updo with Cornrows” which you [...]

So I tried the saran wrap thing that Marie told me about at Shi Salon and it was a huge failure . Looking  back now at the post, I realize she told me 5 minutes and I did 7 minutes so maybe that’s why I started sweating and the entire thing didn’t work?  Anyhoo, here’s the [...]

Today is my first official day sans corporate employment (), however I did just get a payment from a different income source so that’s encouraging. Later that day, the twistout on my pressed hair had fallen, but was still doing much better than the previous bantu knotout. I definitely like this “wavey” deal better than [...]
