My Update!

I have not put in a post because I have been so busy and I don't have internet...How am I online now well that's my secret. Anyway, I have so many fun styles to show off with my hair. I still have genie locks in. They look better with every growing day. I will be making a post with my many styles soon bare with the delay.

Also I have begun to lose weight which is going awesome because I am walking the pounds away. My goal is to lose roughly 8 pounds a month. With this I can lose 96 pounds in a year reaching my target weight of fitness and health. This journey should be fun I have so much support. The nutrition is the issue not the working out part. Teh cost of good food is so ridiculous. My first goal is to eat Breakfast instead of skipping it.

I just learned how to do Peruvian earrings, so expect to see the finished products of my knowledge. I have been thinking about starting my own business soon . I want to do crafts like Throws, Beanies, Jewelry and much more. I also want to start my own natural hair magazine for college students or the everyday woman. My aim is for People in my area because I plan to look for salons for them but hopefully if it takes off I will move towards a broader audience. One step at a time.

Its Done! I Have the Results For My Hair!!!

The GENIES LOCS were a success!!! I am really excited about this I think they look fantastic. What do you think?

What I am Thankful for

I am so Thankful for the fact my hair is growing. I just learned that hair grows 1/2 inch a month it has been 7 months and I have to my calculation 3 1/2 inches of new growth. It feels like more but I excited. I was gonna do my big chop on Thanksgiving but that Native American Genocide is not how I wanna remember my hair birthday. So I have decided I will get this wonderful new protective style. I am getting Yarn Braids. I was very leery about this idea but I am really excited about them I can't wait to see the results. I got the know how from Youtube channel BlackOnyx77 she is awesome! I got the guts from my one of my best friends in the entire world J Money...lol

My hair update

I have been transitioning since my last perm in April 2009. That would make today 7 months without the Lye. I have been tempted by my mother who wants me to desperately have a perm but to no a veil. The thing is when you wait this long you know that your goal is around the corner. My hair is soooo thick I am trying to learn all I can about how to take care of my hair so I can cut it and keep it looking nice. I cannot wait until I have the money to purchase Unrefined Shea Butter and try Carol's Daughter. Big things are happening in my life so I will be documenting it for the world to know.

New growth

So here I am dealing with my non-existing new growth. I have stopped taking perms for almost three months. I have went to the gym and "sweated my perm out" yet for some odd reason I have a centimeter worth of new growth. Ugh my hair is bone freakin striaght. I can't hardly stand it. I've been practicing these natural hair styles and it looks rather funny becuase my hair is not a fro its striaght. I've tried to wash it, not blow dry it and let it air dry into thick hair.....it looks like I got a perm. This is unacceptable. I think that it maybe the leave in conditioner. once i put it on my hair my hair stays straight like its gel when its clearly just conditioner.

Some one please tell me how long will I have to wait!!! my mother says years. I refuse to believe that. ??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blame it on the fluoride

So how about I am really up set with every dentist in America. I just found out that Fluoride studies show a lowering of IQ in children associated with fluoride exposure. What!!! Wait their is more. the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has never approved any fluoride product designed for ingestion as safe or effective. Just when I thought it couldn't get worst come to find out fluoride accumulates in body over time because your kidneys only get ride of 50% of the fluoride that your body ingests. I am appalled. Just so you know your mouth absorbs things quickly to the blood stream, you don't even have to swallow. So when you brush your teeth followed by drinking from the water fountain then try to take an EXAM, when you don't get the grade you thought you deserved its not your fault blame it on the Fluoride.

Whats that I smell in the air I think its governmental conspiracy. What do you think?

Natural Hair Vs Permed Hair

So I was watching Tyra's Show, I love that show, and the topic was about good hair. There was this argument that long straight or wave hair was good hair and kinky hair was bad hair. This woman who gets perms said that we are living a in a Euro-American society and no longer living in Africa and we need to adapt to the customs. She even said that kinky her was undignified and unprofessional. As a person who is currently permed up growing my hair to be natural, I am completely appaulled by this statement. Their was this little African American girl who was 5 and she hated her hair so much she wore a hanna montana wig! She felt like she was pretty in it. I was so sad for her because I never felt like that, not about my hair anyway. I feel like the black culture is beautiful, organic and diverse. I don't believe in GOOD HAIR. Its stupid no hair type who be better than another. The media and society as a whole keeps brainwashing my people into this ridiculous ideas that I think its just sickening. However I could be stuck in a fantasy world.

Do you agree that all people should adapt to euro-american culture?
