Lil Purple
Today’s my last day here in the Sunny State but I finally sneaked away to do a bit of shopping!  Still some amazing deals out there in the stores & online, so with the Holiday season pressing down even harder this year, I decided to invest a bit early in ‘the dress.’ You know ‘the [...]
Welcome Back, Corinne
 
Aside from the infamous gorgeous head of hair, Lady Bailey always seems to exude a remarkably beautiful spirit.  I bought her first album back in 2007 after seeing the breathtaking video for  “Put Your Records On,” instantly fell in love! Her new album ‘The Sea’ drops in early 2010 (my ears tell me early February!). [...]
The Who’s Who in Hair Care
Grab a pen and take note. The wonderful CallaLily has put together just a wonderful video serving up the who’s who in the African American hair care industry right now. You know why I LOVE this? Because it’s necessary. Press play, and pass on the link;-)!!
 


Do check out her blog along with some crazy good [...]
Oyin’s Burnt Sugar Pomade
Time to divulge some truth.  I do not like pomades. Yessir. I do not adhere to the wonders of the grease as I once did when these strands were  once relaxed.  Now though, when I say ‘grease‘ you have to understand something, maybe even take a short trip back with me to a time when [...]
Kimmaytube Delivers the Basics
See, what I really should be doing right now is updating this week’s Process….but…the Yankees are up 3 games to 1 and are playing to clinch the Series tonight…Soooooo.
I’m a bit…slightly…just a TAD distracted.  I’ll be working on the post for tomorrow while watching the game, but in the meantime, this video below absolutely BLEW [...]
Runaway
Yah, I’m in a zone…Baseball Playoffs are in full swing and I’m a girl turned Yankee whore right about now.  It’s unfortunate…or my friends tell me, but thankfully it only comes my way once a year.   In the meantime here’s a brief update on the do.  Took down the first in a series of protective styles, and [...]
Fly Inspiration
Anyone make it to a GOOD HAIR screening this weekend? The buzz so far aims in the more positive directions, which I think is a great thing! Positivity all around is a good thing;-).  I’m a late bird, so I’m off to see it tonight with a friend after work.  Brief review and thoughts TBD [...]
In Case You Missed It…
Yeah, I couldn’t stay up last night/morning to watch the re-airing of the “Good Hair” episode on Oprah. I was LIVID when my body woke up at 3:30 in the morning only to realize I was just a few hours shy (it comes on @ 1:30 here in NYC btw). But never fret! Below’s a clip [...]
Media Hair
I won’t admit to a building of anticipation over the upcoming release of Chris Rock’s documentary Good Hair, but I am growing increasingly surprised how the media & press  are choosing to cover this topic, from the NYT article a couple weeks back to Tyra Banks’ premier episode talking about ‘real hair.’ Convoluted and at times biased…at [...]
PSA
Alright, so it’s that time of year when you really can’t fight it anymore…it’s time to ditch the cute sandals for laced up kicks and closed toe shoes, layer-up that short sleeve blouse with a denim jacket or light sweater, and reassess the hair products you’ve been using over the past season or so.  I’ve [...]
Natural Enthusiasm
Haven’t seen the sun all day. Boo. This nasty rain has taken over the sky & I’m once again biding time before heading out.  The September Issue opens today in limited release, and I’m soooo excited to run out and see it! I purchased tickets yesterday, because in a city like NY…you just never know.  [...]
Natural Coils Curling Jelly Review
 
Cheers for free/off days! The pros of days off:

relaxing
not worrying about having the hair look ‘right’ for work
relaxing

I’m sure there are plenty more, but my brain is on a brief hiatus;-).  Sunday, my usual wash/style day, instead turned into a watch T.V., walk around neighborhood, catch up on blog network type day…so I’m bringing to the table [...]
Maxwell: Bad Habits
 
Here’s the deal, below is the new Maxwell video for BAD HABITS off his newly released album BlackSummer’s Night.  Yes, we LOVE! I didn’t expect this to be a video posting week, but heck..these artists are just refreshing our lives with goodies…I can’t help it! I’ve heard through the grapevine that it’s ummmm….perhaps a tad [...]
India Arie: Therapy
So glad she’s back with a NEW VIDEO!! India looks sparkling & beautiful in this video, directed by LaChapelle.  I need your therapy….
 

 
Don’t sleep on this woman, her lyrics and voice are a gem for the music industry, especially today.  I  LOVE  the use of different colors in the video (shot on location in Hawaii!), can’t [...]
Has This Happened to You…
 
So, I’m back on the Youtube patrol after my brief hiatus, seeking out vids on natural hair, and what I’m finding is a real….HUGE  resurgence in what’s out there for the natural hair community!  Afrobella did a post relative to this topic just yesterday over @BV Hair Talk (LOVE that she’s our go-to gal on this [...]

Oyin Handmade
Alrighty, so this is going to be a two parter because of my tendency to ramble about stuff. I’ll break the review down into two parts, first starting off with two products, Oyin’s Honey Hemp Conditioner and Oyin’s Shine & Define. I purchased my Oyin stash during my last mini-haul, and used a nifty coupon [...]
