blackfoliclesmeet.com : my hair is internet dating..day 1 with my new boo!

I still havent caught on to the online dating thing or the real life dating thing but my hair is here to prove otherwise.

Everyone constantly asks me what's up with my natural hair especially men. I must admit my hair is my biggest insecurity and I'm a tad obsessed with it...hence...the HAIR BLOG lol. I'm just not comfortable with it so I opt-in to other alternatives such as weaves and wigs featured on this HAIR BLOG.

But I really would love to rock my natural hair so I've tried so many ways to grow it out and have failed miserably.

After I took out my last weave I got out of the shower disappointed by how bad and damaged it looked. The tv was on and I swear on a stack of notebooks that this hair growth commercial came on as soon as the thought of me getting serious about growing my hair ran through my brain.

Its called Keranique. and let me tell you I am skeptical of these kinds of things but in my desperation to be free and just wear my own hair I got suckered into by going to the website fullerlookinghair.com The package came in the mail today so I instantly got to using it.

Let me explain the cost...its a free trial...free as in $7.95 for shipping and handling...you try for 30 days if you like they charge you 59.95 a month if not ...send it back yada yada...(lol and yes that is a blow dryer in the sink in the pic below..smh)

Being a woman of color with very woman of color hair I was like "tuh this is not going to work" especially since the only black woman in the commercial had a scarf around her head...WHAT THE?????????? But then the brochure featured two black women...one with a stale ass press...next...and the other with really big color treated hair that looked like a weave...I know a weave when I see one damn it!

Anywho, So I get the package today and its shampoo, conditioner, and serum OR this topical solution. So at first I'm like yea this topical solution will probably work better than the serum ...its FDA approved hair medicine...sure thing right? but then I started reading the side effects ahem:

stop use if:
chest pains rapid heartbeat, faintness or dizziness occurs, sudden unexplained weight gain occurs, hands or feet swells, unwanted facial hair????????
so basically the side effects are you turn into a hairy ass circus act that's gonna die from heart palpitations? uhhh nope. no thanks..so I put it back in the box lol!  and the percentage of it working wasnt that high...19% of women mostly "white" as the box says saw hair growth...soooo

I'm going to try it for 30 days , the shampoo, conditioner, and serum that is and see how my hair progresses...I've already started today and my scalp is itching like a son of a gun...does that means its working? we shall see....

good news for you readers....I'll be the guniea pig...and let you know how this goes....wish me luck....

will my hair find love?

we shall see!

How did the Cookie Crumble? My take on Empire

Image
The show Empire premiered tonight on Fox. It stars Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. Terrence plays a music mogul Lucious working to build an Empire/Legacy for his children while being troubled by the transgressions of his past one of which, is Taraji's character, Cookie, his ex-wife being released from jail after doing 17 years on his behalf. He also struggles with the present state of his health ( btw please no ice bucket challenges for fictional characters! he has ALS), which is the driving force behind his ambition of creating a legacy for Empire. Veronika Bozeman gave us the opening vocals as an Empire Artist, and boy was it beautiful, even when she was made to sing it over! I found the show to be entertaining although I couldn't help but feel like it was a continuation of the movie Hustle Flow lol. I kid. Kind of, I think it was Terrence Howard's hair! But in all seriousness I'm elated to see so many shows starring African-American casts,...

Papa Scoob - Taking the Game into Overtime

Image
Its Overtime is The Official Mixtape release from Papa Scoob presented by the Outerspace Musik Group. Papa Scoob is an East Oakland Native/ Berkley raised lyricist, that has been gracing the music scene with his impeccable lyricism for the past ten years. The Its Overtime mixtape is filled with dynamic flows and metaphors over some of the top 100 billboard tracks with the incorporation of some interludes that capture the most pivotal overtime moments in recent sports history, symbolically signifying Scoob's resilience to the sport of the music grind and shaping his own game as an artist. I've known Scoob since he began rapping and I enjoy listening to him grow as an artist. He definitely doesn't need a hype man because he gets the momentum going with his energetic intensity over each and every track.  Despite his longevity I feel like this mixtape is his coming of age moment. I'm so very proud of his accomplishments and urge yo...

Single Mom Travels (it's kind of a long read, so grab a snack!)

Image
Well Hello There Readers! I've been on a writing hiatus but I've got the sudden urge to blog. A few weeks ago I was hanging out with my son and realized that as far as I'm concerned we have a pretty unique experience in terms of the way we go throughout our daily lives. I realize there's this stigma that as a single parent life becomes so limited and in many aspects this has proven true. However, I've also discovered my own ways to live and provide my child with a happy fulfilling life. There is nothing that can truly distract my child from the absence of his father, but as his mother I've vowed to make his childhood experiences as meaningful as possible in the hopes of presenting to society a well rounded, open minded, curious, fearless, adult. With all that being said, traveling alone and/or with your child are one of those single parent stigmas I was talking about. It seems as though as a woman I should live in fear of the world and somehow nee...
