Have you ever had a detangling orgasm?  Well, if you haven’t let me tell you about my experience. I’ve been wearing Havana twists for a while, having them redone about every 2 months.  The beauty of a protective style means I don’t need to buy any new products so getting my...

Between weeks 13 – 24 of my transition from relaxed to natural I started to notice my natural hair texture growing in.  By that I mean I noticed a difference between the relaxed hair length and the hair at my roots. All hair textures are different.  You hair texture may be totally...

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...

If you have never worn a wig, it may be intimidating for you to go out to try on your first wig.  I had this experience and was reminded of it recently when a friend asked me about wigs for the first time.  She is having some medical issues that will result in her losing her hair very soon...

Janet Collection came out with a lace front wig collection called Whole Lace and I decided to try a short style, the Mini.  I also decided to try some color.  I bought this style in a 4/27/30 although my normal wig color is 1B or 2. Whole lace means hand sewn rather than tracks like most of...

Janet Collection came out with a lace front wig collection called Whole Lace and I decided to try the First Lady, based on the signature hair style worn by First Lady Michelle Obama.  I had never worn a bob style but was confident that I could pull it off.  I was not really sure what whole...

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...

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...

By the time I was 61 weeks into my transition from relaxed to natural hair, I had a mini chop but I still had a significant amount of relaxed ends that I needed to blend with my curly hair for the times I decided to wear my own hair out.  More often than not during this time, I relied on full...

At 49 weeks and 5 days pot relaxer I picked up a new wig, Freetress Bali Girl in 1B/30.  It was a lot of hair but I made it work by wearing it half up and half down. As you can see, wearing hair that is not my same length nor my natural color (or that has highlights) is not an issue for me....

I picked up a new wig called Sarifa by Vanessa while wig shopping with my mom, around 48 weeks post relaxer. I had been wearing a synthetic lace front for a while but Sarifa is not a lace front.  It’s a full wig.  I simply put my own hair in cornrows and pinned on the wig with bobby...

      18 weeks and 3 days post relaxer It is time to make a decision, continue with transition or relax.  I had been in this place once before, at 18 weeks and 3 days post relaxer.  At that time, I decided to go ahead and get my relaxer.  That was just prior to my transition...

      Natural Hair Shrinkage – Frienemy As you transition from relaxed to natural hair, there will be times that you feel as if you natural hair is not growing at all due to natural hair shrinkage.  Transitioning from permed to natural hair means  the days of seeing one to...

        First Mini Chop – 46 weeks and 6 days post relaxer I had my hair trimmed to get rid of the straggly ends and to give my hair some shape. I was holding on to length just for the sake of length. I finally came to the conclusion that so long as I can pull my hair...

  Do Topical Growth Aides Work? Lots of people take vitamins and use topical products to try to increase their hair growth rate in order to speed up their transition or to just grow out their hair faster.  I have only tried one topical growth aide, Mega Tek Cell Rebuilder. I used Mega...
