Hair Rambles.



I miss my hair!..such a fake ass grin. One of the lowest times of my life...But that grin I have....I am on a come UP.


I dont really like the texture of relaxed hair and I miss my color soo much it blows. Idk really why I relaxed my hair. I just knew that the hot comb and I werent getting along too well like we used to..my hair needed a heat break not a relaxer. Ugh. silly me. I wanted to know what it was like though.

Ive done my research over the past year or so and Im starting to understand my hair a bit more. As a natural, I wasnt really taking care of my hair. OMG have I grown.

On another note.. I just got hip to thee fact that the change in harmone levels due to birth control can cause hair breakage /shedding...WTF... I started the pill to help clear up my acne and it does its job but damn... thats so not right. I picked up some garlic shampoo and some garlic pills/tablets to help combat it...who knows.I hope it does the trick!

I Miss My COLOR!!!


Nevermind the faces.LMAO.. This was WAAAY Back..Just to get an idea of what Iam rambling about.





I was natural for 17 years
I wore my hair with the..old fashion press & curl

&

Twist & cornrows & braids sometimes

I have been relaxed for a short time

For ME.. The Bennifits dont outway the cons

I miss my hair
I miss my color
Iam going Back.








Mini Beauty Haul: HairCare



100th Post! YaY!





So Ive been going through with this hair of mine.lls.For the last few months my hair has been sheeding and breaking like hell (yes I know the diference). OMG. Like WTF. not cool. So I remembered that Garlic does help with shedding so I picked up some Queen Heleen Garlic Shampoo to test it out. They had the conditioner too but Im so indecisive so I just left it there.




I also picked up some TRESemme' heat protectant spray. I heard about it before but never really looked into to getting it. I figured why not? When you use any kind of heat on your head you need to use a protectant. I use the Chi Silk infusion already. Im not sure if it doubles s a protectant but whatever...Im steppng my game up.



& last but not least.. This was a random try. I know my hair loves/ feels at best with moisture rather than protien so Iam always on a look out for somwthing better than before. I LOVE LOVE Cream of Nature Products. My hair is the softest thing ever with it. I have been using that since the womb! But I decided to try the Aussie Moist conditioner. IDK about this one yet.I'll have to let you know.




The next few Post will most likely be on hair & shopping! I am comming back into myself and I gotta do it my way....sooo (more on that in a few.lol)

$1 Beauty Buy: Make-up Remover Pads



I must admit. I am one of them. I am one of those girls that get into bed with eye make-up on the face and be soo tired that I refuse to get out of bed to go wash it off. Aint that some stuff.Soo I know all my make-up savvy ladies are already hip to make up remover pads and wipes. Ive used so many different brands and to me..they all pretty much do the same job..
Soo I was thinking..I don't want to have to pay between $5-25 for some make up remover stuff too 0ften.
Im the kind of chick that if I get get it at a cheaper price and not sacrifice quality..Im going with the cheaper buy. It only make sense in my eyes.
Soo I was in the Dollar Tree looking for some sour gum.lol. I stumbled upon these babies & said hmmmmm. I wonder if a 40 pack of $1 dollar remover pads can do the trick??
Let me tell you..They got the job DONE

NK Nail Enamel
From left to Right:
  • Scarlet
  • Lime
  • Cotton Candy
  • Fiesta Red
  • Swan
  • Fuchia

You can fin these babies for a low as dollar from your local hood beauty supply store. Now I know what your thinking..Queen!..I dont want no cheap nail polish thats going to come out lookin like crap"..Its not. The NK brand is as good as the OPI and ORLY high end nail polish. And if your a nail person like me, you know that a bottle of OPI or ORLY can run you anywhere from $6-$9. In this f**ked economy, why not try to save. I was able to get 6 colors for $6 dollars and some change and not skimp on quality. They have vitamin E nail hardeners to strengthen nails. I love the way the colors glide on.What you see in the bottle is what you get on the nail. No gloppy finishes. They turn even the most worst and messy nail polisher into a Pro!

* I wil be posting designs and color swatches so you can really get the feel
