Dear Bruno Mars,

so i’m all for people living their lives as they see fit.  what works for one may not work for another, and if you like it, i love it.  i use some stuff in my hair that people look down their nose at me at all the time. 

that being said…

..maybe we can suggest a few other  products for Bruno to try?  LOL.

we back!

happy new year yall!

i hope you had a good holiday season!   just wanted to let you guys know that i’m settled in to the new year and back to updating.  if you’ve sent in any questions lately, look for answers soon!

on a personal tip, i rung in the new year with a wet bantu knot out, which i NEVER do bc they take so long to dry.  but this time, i did them on smaller knots so they dried overnight.  i think i like it!

I decided to make a photoset post of my hair growth since last September. 

Merp, my hair has grown slightly slower than expected, a mere 6 inches in 14 months.

I get frustrated with it, especially when I get those bitchass knots on the ends that I have to cut out (particularly the back of my head) and when I need to wash my hair, but my schedule won’t let me. My head is about 92.4483753% coily, and then there are the sides that do whatever the hell they want to do when they want to. 

I think I’m going to keep with it though. I like love my hair and I want to keep it growing for as long as it will grow (read: as long as I will take care of it properly). I just want a huge fro. 

aw!  that last pic! look at your adorable little face!!  yay hair!

Anonymous asked: I've been transitioning for about 7 months now, I think I'm a 4a/4b.I had a hairdresser who decided it would be smart to add color and straighten my hair almost every week. The color would leave my hair dry and rough so I decided to rock a sew in. I decided to get permed hair cut off so its very short. So I've been wearing sew ins to give my hair time to grow back. I'm thinking about wearing a half wig but I can only do a straight wig though, and I would have to straighten my hair. Any tips?

unfortunately i dont know anything about wigs and half weaves and sew ins and stuff like that, lol.. im a real dummy in that department :-(

if you’d like some tips on protecting your hair during heat styling, though, i wrote about a few in this post.  there’s also some good information here and here

hope that helped some!
