the break-up but I've got a new love already! BOOM (literally and gesturely, is that a word?)

So I used Keranique for about three weeks and let me tell you, this stuff actually works. My hairy is creepily (is that a word) longer and much thicker. Its a great product my issue is consistency and having to wash my hair everyday.

I'm a black woman with black woman hair. I once read somewhere that we're supposed to wash our hair every few days but I know many sistahs that dont wash their hair for about 2 weeks to a month or MORE! That washing my hair everyday had me feeling like I was going to end up with pnemonia...lol pores all open just letting all kinds of germs in. Just couldnt do it. BUT I have decided to keep my subscription so when I do finally take my weaves out I'll have a really great product to put in my hair.

 Plus as much as I love wigs I didnt see them as a long term option. I must say I get pretty insecure with wigs even if they're secured...they make me socially awkard and makes sex weird...tmi I know but I'm just saying...what's worse than trying to be sexy and your hair falls off (whole other blog ladies...smh).....can't hug people afraid its gonna slip off...didnt want to go to crowded clubs cause if someone scooted by against my hair  BOOM my hair is moving across my head and stuff....so Weaves are my thing until I'm comfortable with my own hair again...

Speaking of weaves and BOOM I've found a new hair called Boom by Zury, Egyptian Wave. It looked good on the manequin but was a little thin so I was sketchy because I love my big hair. So I purchased three packs colors 4 and 2. ($24.99 a pack)


 
                                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^lady on package
Its meant to be layered so in each pack you get an 8 inch 10 inch 12 inch and 14 inch track as well as a closure.

I sewed two 14's two 12's three 10's and the closure and cut the top into layers which I couldve and shouldve used the 8 inch for which is probably why they sell the packs this way. ahem...lol Its ok to cut the hair buuuuuuuuuuut make sure you cut in the pattern of the wave...otherwise you end up looking like you just left a rock concert OR suffered from electric shock.

So after I put the hair in I didnt like it , it looked weird so I broke out my handy dandy wig brush to kind of part the waves if that makes sense. Not in a Moses sort of way but part the waves in like a make the hair look full but not crazy type of way. lol

Maintenance:

Maintenance is simple just section the hair in two parts like you were going to style the hair in pigtails. Twist each section and pin or clip on the top of your head and wrap with a scarf.

I think you can put heat on the hair its 100% human hair,  but I wouldnt want to flatten the curls/waves so I bought some biosilk which isnt too heavy of a hair replinsher sheen product for when the hair starts looking old and dull.

Results...BOOM

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...
