UPDATE- THIS IS A HORRIBLE MOVIE THAT DEGRADES BLACK WOMEN. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS IN ANY WAY. I saw this article on ematastemaker.com and HAD to repost... check it out: Funny man & social commentator Chris Rock tackles the topic of hair in the soon to be released documentary Good Hair . The film, which won a Special Jury Award for US Documentary at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival , mixes the wisecrack humor of Rock with the hard-hitting reality that exist around hair in the Black community by “raising serious questions about identity and equality among black women who feel they need long, straight, silky hair to fit into white society” ( Source ). Rock was inspired to make the documentary after his daughter Lola came to him crying, and asked, “Daddy how come I don’t have good hair.” This deeply emotional question prompted him “to search the ends of the earth and the depths of black culture to find out who had put that question into his little girl’s head” ( Source ) Sundance des...

Check out my beloved Chrisette Michele on her Ephinany cover. LOVVVE the hair.

I love these....

You may have to slow the video down, but this video has had alot of hits on youtube and you can see why- the man is a beast with the razor.... I'm going to start doing more videos- always searching for the best of course, but if you have or can recommend some good ones don't hesitate to send them my way!

Soooo if you're familiar with the hair circuit then you may know what those numbers mean, but most likely- like most warm blooded Americans you don't. But basically I've been seeing "I'm 3b" "Whats you're type? I'm 2a" etc etc everywhere... so I googled it. And basically these number/letter combos describe the hair type ranging from "straight" to "kinky". And this is the part that makes me laugh straight is 1 and kinky is 4 ... cleaaaaaarly this description was created by whites or should I say European Americans or should I say Caucasians ... well you get my point. Orrrr it could have been made-up by an uncle- tomish person of color, hmmm .... well, either way it goes its a bit stupid, but whatev . I personally would have figured that "kinky" or the most natural hair type would be 1, in fact, when I heard people discussing it I was under the impression that extremely curly/kinky hair would be 1 since it ...

Rihanna and Ursula Stephen So you may ask... who's the mastermind behind these Rhianna cuts and hair dos, whoever it is she has single-handly changed fashion and style worldwide.... her name is Ursula Stephen ! And she is THEEEEEEEE New Image Beauty Expert. Oh my goodness there are so many things I can say, but I will just keep it short- Ursula is an icon! Ohhhhhhh my goodness Rihanna is nothing without those cuts dahling.... (well not in a mean way I adore Rihanna, but I'm just trying to make a point). _________________________________________________ Check out this interview I snagged from Ursula's website via Clutch Magazine. Q: When did you begin your craft of hairstyling? Well my high school was a beauty school- - so technically and officially I started doing hair my freshman year. It was called “Sarah J. Hale”, located in Brooklyn. It saved my life and open many doors for me. Q: How did you get into doing hair for celebrities? It was definitely a word of mouth situa...

Now THIS is what I'm talking about. After further going through Miss Jessies products I found this: And its SOLD OUT. SMH! Not cool Miss Jessie, NOT cool at all. Lol, I'm about to send an email inquiring about when they will have more because this is what I was looking for. And at $9? I'm not mad... that is if it will make my hair curly. I really really hope they replenish within the week, if so, I will purchase and let you all know how it goes.... if you have used it, please let me know how it is. I'm sorta anxious about this product.... hurry Miss Jessie! Get in that kitchen and whip up another batch! PRODUCT REVIEW: Update June 29, 2009: This product is an EPIC FAILURE. I tried it twice on a section of my permed hair- once with it airdrying, another using the blowdryer... both times- no curls. My hair type (what they call 4a/b, what I call 1a/b) I think this product is for girls with straight hair like asians, some european-americans, some hispanics, and women with 3...

I've always indirectly searched for a cream to make my hair curly... you know more curly. Why? You may ask, well two main reasons: 1. sometimes I just feel like having really easy immediately cute hairstyle that I pretty much have to do NOTHING to- you know just get up and go. Braids are cool, but sometimes I want something a bit looser and I feel if I could make my hair very curly I could have this look. 2. because I've wanted to try the sorta curly weave and I want it to blend in perfectly. So I figure it wold blend best if I made my hair the same texture as the weave naturally instead of curling it every morning I don't know how well this product works, perse, but many many women SWEAR by it--- Miss Jessie's Original Hair Cream . She has an array of products that seem to almost instantly make your hair curly... the only problem is, is that I don't know how well it works on permed hair. But it works WONDERS on natural hair.... I personally feel EVERY girl with nat...

Nowadays, alot of women wear weaves... all types (every ethnicity), but TOO many women don't take proper care of their weave. Well, slowly but surely many of the top hair care companies are creating products exclusively for weaves. One in product that I've been hearing about, SoftSheen Carson Professional Weave Care Detangler. It supposedly works well.... and any weave-wearing gal knows how easy it can get tangled, especially after the first week and a half. I suggest trying this and reporting back. After a small search I found their website and Softsheen actually has an entire line of products, check it out here. I can't wait til Mizani creates a line!
