I have a thread to pick and its irritating my Sol




Hey Hey HairyKats,

Its been a while but I'm back and promise not to leave you for so long ever again.

I come to you still rocking my cheap hair. Being the budget friendly conniseuer (spell check) that I am I opt-ed into a yet another hair brand.

Its called Sol by Outre.

I love how my hair came out. But I have a thread to pick with Sol:


My first issue is with myself because I wasn't paying attention when I bought it. Usually when I see 100% human hair I take it at that but the package actually reads 100% human hair premium mix.

Which means synthetic. I don't like synthetic hair because it doesn't flat iron, its awkardly shiny, and its SYNTHETIC....

So I already paid for it and decided to move forward. But then I got confused when I was ready to style my hair. which brings us to my second issue: There's not anything on the package that states can be flat ironed, curled, yanked pulled etc.

It is true that the hair business is getting ultra fancy and some of the hair blends can take heat up to a certain degrees but there's usually something on the package that reads that and usually a photo of a hot stove or something.


Anywho, under the care instructions the package reads something to the effect of style as your stylist sees appropriate. Que? I am my stylist and I want to know if I flat iron this mess will it melt....

Yaw know I tried it! LOL! It didn't melt as normal synthetic hair would but it does tangle like a synthetic wig. So I have to keep a wig brush on deck at all times.

The hair  is ok quality, so far (I've only had it in for a few days) but I need Outre to be more thorough with what this hair is a capable of.

Results below:

Specs: 16 in Sol color 4 on bottom retails at about 29.99 a pack
           12 Premium Yaky (Outre) color 30  retails at about $25.00 a pack
           10 1 piece in the bangs color 27 was chilling in my hair drawer lol

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...
