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 so they blend well together and I achieved the look I was going for.

If you're mixing straight hair I would either go cheap on both or expensive on both but its rare that you can't find straight hair in the lengths you want. Most of the time its the curled hair that only comes in a 14.

So dont be afraid ladies. Follow the rules and mix that hair!

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...
