new entry on the hairykat favorite things list: black velvet hair co.

Hey HairyKats, So we all know I go cheap with the hair sometimes because I change styles colors and textures so often.  But I've recently heard  from my friend Ashley over at Ashlee Magazine. (  http://ashleecurtis.com/magazine ) about Black Velvet Hair Co.that has affordable hair that just looks amazing and they deliver. They carry Virigin Remy Indian and Brazilian Hair. I'm eyeing the Wavy straight Indian Hair for my next hair expedition. Don't say I've never given you anything! :) Here's a blurp from their website www.blackvelvethair.biz   check them out! "A woman’s hair is her glory!” In today’s world, a woman is identified and defined by her hair.

Hello My Little Furballs, lol Welcome back to the HairyKat Chronicles , I''ve been feeling a little dull and a little safe with my looks latetly and needed to unleash my inner bad girl. Too bad my hair has to suffer through these phases. Anywho, with summer being around the corner I figured why not try a new color to get me summer ready. I've had almost every hair color but never the blonde. This hair I'm working now is more gold than blonde but its working for me. I knew I wanted a short do' but I'm always nervous about it because I have such huge boobs lol. I can kind of hide them behind longer hair but when my hair is short their just there! I know I know its all in my head...they're there all the time LOL But at 27 its time to be confident about my mind body soul and hair no matter what color it is or how it looks. There's no greater feeling than a makeover though and this one was drastic. I went and saw my favorite lit

dinner for two: a plate for your do'?

Apparently, there's some food and beverage products out there that are great for the hair. I prefer my food on a plate...well actually in my belly! But in case you're feeling daring here's some food and hair concoctions that may work for you. (beautiful tresses perhaps but I personally am freaked out by smelling like a deli sammich for weeks on end, shrug!) Nonetheless, I've done some research for you identifying the top foods that offer benefits to your hair. Beer (source: http://www.basicsbodycare.com/2011/06/29/beer-and-hair/ ) "Ever washed your hair with beer? It is an excellent conditioner for dry dull hair. Many people may think that washing your hair with beer is a waste of good beer but using a cheap beer once a month is a more fun and natural way to care for hair than using typical conditioners. For ages beer has been used as a conditioner for hair. It contains vitamins B and proteins and helps give your hair shine, volume and softness. Several com

hairykat tracklist: monica- new life

Its that time again HairyKats where I either send you out to get some new music or tell you to wait until hustle man sells the burned copy for $5 dollars, (even though only 3 of the songs are actually from the real album the rest are from random mixtapes from 10 years ago...), just kidding, side eye Anywho, To be released tomorrow is Monica's -New Life album! Raise your hand if you still knock the 1995 Don't Take It Personal (Just One of them Days) when you get your cycle and want to tell the world to bug off! LOL! Can we say longevity! She is definetly here to stay and have survived the times of new sounds, styles, and most importantly LISTENERS! Monica is timeless, from her flawless face to her voice that still seems so before her time but really is keeping up with times. This album is what I call classic! The title does it justice. As I listened from start to finish I got the story, I got her vision, you can't really start a new life without telling the story of

nicki vs. roman : pink friday roman reloaded

Image
Hello HairyKats and welcome back to the tracklist. On the eve of the release of Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday Roman Reloaded I have my copy , I have listened from start to finish, and will share my thoughts. I've been reading this book called from Good to Great and there is this chapter about getting the right people on the bus that will in essence be down in any phase of the process of getting to the goal of greatness. I'm not sure if that applies here. While Nicki is I'm sure well paid for who she's become I'm not sure if her original fan base will be on board with this one. I wouldnt call her commercial just yet, I'll just call her the first female rapper to crossover? But has she? Has her crossover to pop music been a success? If you ask the Archdioese, they would def say no! LOL! Are we being too cynical in not recognizing her evolution as an artist? I would say if this was her intention then we (rap fans) have been fooled. We were so excited to finally h

my hair is ummm...mixed?

Hello there Hairykats, Do you ever want a hairstyle but the hair you want doesnt come in the length you want? Well its time to improvise and get to mixing. The rule of thumb to mixing hair is: 1. Make sure its the same color 2. Make sure its the same texture 3. Make sure you dont end up looking like you have two different hairstyles occuring atop your head. Another rule is to make sure that you are buying the right lengths to mix up. I wouldnt buy a pack of 18 and a pack of 10 to go on top...can we say mullet shag? So my dilemma is I wanted to this body wave type curl but the type of curl that I wanted only comes in 14 at the longest. So I took 16-18inch Italian body wave by Bobbi Boss   on bottom  which is a simple wave type hair it doesnt have that much curl in it and mixed with Boom by Outre (14 and 12 inch and closure) which has loose curls but more body than the italian body wave ...one is really expensive the other kind of cheap but I got them both in jet black
