At some point as you transition from relaxed to natural hair, you will need to trim off the relaxed hair.  A relaxer does not wash out and there is nothing you can use to strip the relaxer off your hair.  The straight hair must be cut off. You can of course go to a salon; however, you can...

Brown women can wear blonde wigs.  Have you ever really wanted to try something other than the usual color 1B, 1, 2, 4, 4/27 or 1b/30 hair.  Yes, me too but I was always afraid to try anything too different from my own hair.  Yes, I do own one 1B/30 and one 4/27/30 but that was always the...

There are so many options once you decide to transition to natural hair.  Of course, I decided to grow out my relaxed hair over the course of 2 years and I kept my hair straight for months into my transition.  You do have options. You can protective style by keeping your hair in braids,...

Prior to purchasing, I had seen the La Jay wig a few times on youtube.  I was reluctant to order this half wig because it just looked to big.  I went ahead and bit the bullet and order the style and was so glad that I did.  This half wig looked very much like my crochet braid style, but...

Since so many people have asked me about wearing wigs, I will share some tips and tricks that I learned along the way.  At one point I owned at least 30 wigs.  I have since sold at least half of them.  Initially I was afraid to wear wigs.  Yes, afraid. When you are not familiar with...

I ordered a human hair lace front wig directly from China.  I had been looking for a straight wig to wear instead of straightening my own hair.  I am worried about heat damage.  I ended up ordering from a company in China, a company that I do not recommend. I ordered a stretch lace cap and...

Have you been looking for a natural looking wig to use during your transition or as a protective hairstyle?  I have tried a few half wigs and full wigs and most have not looked all that natural on me.  I came across Beshe Shelly via a couple of youtubers and I decided to give her a try.  I...

If you are new to natural hair and new to braids (or twists) then you may have the same problem I’ve been having with my kinky twists and Senegalese twists slipping out a short time after the installation. I remember a girl from high school that wore braids most of the time.  A few...
