Accepting the type of hair that you are born with

Posted on May 11, 2012 by c14

It’s about time sisters stopped trying to copy those that hate them and be hapy with their natural featurees. They need to embrace their natural beauty God has given them.If they embrace themselves then they will rase children that will love themselves for their natural attributes and physical abilities.As we accept ourselves for our heritege and ancestry by learning global history starting from Africa to Asia to Europe to the Americas., we will see how strong and wise our culture is.
We must stop letting our perception of western ideology corrupt what is good for our future. U r so RIGHT!!! WHY are we looking like a caracature of white folk??? And Black women wonder why Black men are going out with white women. Black men like the REAL thing…not an imitation! If u want a real Black man, start looking like a REAL Black woman! Your looks are unique, beautiful & timeless!!! RESPECT YOURSELVES,SISTERS!!! “Natural” means accepting the type of hair that you are born with, be it kinky, streight or curley. In my youth, I put on an afro wig in order to “identify more”. My own hair was long, heavy and curley. People that I met mistook me for a Latina. Since my natural hair was not considered “black” hair, I put on the wig. Now in my old age, I am back to where I started. I say go with what you got. However, you can always change your hair like you change a hat. Wear what you you want–wig, weave or whatever meets your fancy.

Finally after decades of nonacceptance and trying to fit the culture of ‘Whitness’, African American women are embracing themselves and their true natural beauty….Hair that is unique in texture, style, color, lenght, substance and can be worn in so many different ways.IMO, the White women who have always had this fascination with African American women and their natural hair is not one of curosity but one of jealously and envy because they are only limited to one or two hairstyles and cannot style or wear their hair in the hundredsd of ways that African American women can. In addition in White society, if they try to go outsdie the norm with their hair ie…braids, they will get critized by their own White women and men and for White people, being ridiculed by their own is a major problem for them whereas Black women don’t have to worry about that at all since no one dare make any noise about their hair and it’s texture or style.White women won’t admit it…and will lie about it all the time but they want the hair that the sisters got but can’t have it…. the same way they want to be dark…. permanently tanned skin to hide all their age spots, scars, roscea and freckles, full lips, larger buttocks, larger breasts but can’t have it.So sisters, let them touch it and chuckle a little to yourself since they are only wanting what you have and they know that this is one thing that they can’t have.

healthy food make nice hair

Posted on May 11, 2012 by c14

If you want to be attractive, you should eat fruits and vegetables. A recent study suggested that even a few weeks of consuming fruits and vegetables may give your skin a healthy glow and make you look cuter.Scientists at St Andrews University observed the food consumption of 35 people and made photos of them over this period.As a result, consuming an average of 2.9 more portions of fruit and vegetables a day made them look healthier while an extra 3.3 portions enhanced their attractiveness.This can be explained by the followings: fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids which protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays and can prevent age-related disorders like heart disease and cancer.It was previously known that eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange. However, it was not known that a small increase in these red and yellow pigments in the skin could be perceptible to others – or that it was seen as appealing.

A camera that can gauge close-up changes to the skin’s redness, yellowness and lightness found that these considerably increased in people who increased their intake of fruit and vegetables. Using light sensors, the researchers revealed that these red and yellow hues were associated with the levels of carotenoids in the skin.Hundreds of different types of carotenoids exist, but those thought to have the most dramatic effect on the skin are lycopene – which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour – and beta-carotene, found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash and spinach.
Ross Whitehead, the leader of the study, said:”We expected the colour change to be most dramatic in people who ate very few fruit and vegetables to start off with, but it was actually across the board. A lot of the people were already eating close to the recommended amount. But we found even a couple of extra portions could still make a difference to their skin colour.”It is not known whether it is the same for other races (because the scientists studied only white and Asian volunteers) and for older people (because all the volunteers were aged 18-25).

Word on the street is that Beyonce is not pregnant and has a surrogate carrying her baby.Everybody has been on Beyonce “Baby Watch” since she confirmed she was preggers at the MTV Video Music Awards a few weeks back. Beyonces’ cousin Angie Beyince, is rumored to have spilled the beans about King Bey and her secrets.What’s really crazy is, last week I was also told that B was not pregnant by a celebrity source, and that she was faking it, source said:“she wanted to keep her body right”….“The mother is a surrogate and Bey wanted to keep working right after the baby was born. What pregnant women wears heells 6 inches tall, thats not good for the baby, (mothers rule number #1)… No pregnant mother would do that .”
At first I laughed after hearing the story, but now after seeing that Hip Hop Weekly is saying the same thing, there may be more to the story than we thought!Wouldn’t that be crazy

Tell us about your natural hair journey.

Posted on May 11, 2012 by c14

My name is Sa Rah Shine and I’m 21 years old. I’m a young,

French adult living in Geneva, Switzerland.

My parents were born in North Africa.Tell us about your natural hair journey.

Have you always worn it natural, and when and why did you decide to start wearing

it natural I’ve always worn my natural hair, but when I was younger I tried to hide my

volume, and sometimes I straightened it. My mum loves my hair and she helped

me to accept my hair. I learned to accept my frizzy hair in a world where straight

hair governs, especially when your own sister has dark straight hair!

I’m the only one in my family with my type of hair.

The last person who had the same texture was my father’s grandma.

I decided to start wearing my natural hair proudly when

I understood that my hair is a part of me and my personality. It makes me, ME.

Were you a long-term or short-term transitioner? Did you do any big chops?

I rejected my hair a little when I was younger. I went natural two years ago because

I realized that I love my hair. Then, I did my big shop a year ago.

This is me, my personality, my heritage, my roots. Now when

I walk down the street people are surprised. They say, “Is that really

your hair?” or “Can I touch it?!”How did your friends and family react to

the decision to go natural? My family and friends loved my hair!

They were sure that I had made the right choice. I had more

doubts than them! They were very supportive of my decision

even during my big chop! My hair was so short.wearing a short sleek

chic hairstyle at the 2009 Grammy salute to industry icons, honouring Clive

Davis at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Beverly Hills, California.Rihanna has really

learned how to rock her amazing short hair so its not so boring and the same

old thing consistently. A rarely visited celebrity hairstyle, short hairstyles

are easy to manage and style depending on your needs. Before going to

such a drastic cut try slowly cutting your hair within a 1 month span taking

off a little bit at a time to eliminate any possibilities of a short cut being too drastic for you.

To get this look: Distribute a small amount of matte finish wax throughout

towel dried hair. Blow dry using a paddle brush in a wrap dry technique.

To do a wrap dry technique follow the brush with a blow dryer while moving

in all directions over the head until the hair is completely dry. Use a little bit

more wax on your fingertips and massage the crown and scalp for more volume.

To have a sculpted front like Rihanna’s short hairstyle work a little wax between

your fingers and then work your fingers through the front of your hair smoothing

and sculpting them back towards the crown. You can also pinch and pull remaining

strands in any direction for the look.

experiences as black women

Posted on May 11, 2012 by c14

One thing I’d like to ask–don’t we as black people have a right to speak out from our particular experience?

I’m speaking out from my particular experience. I said some of us, and some of us is literally

true if it’s only me, but I can say from the article being published, I have received dozens upon dozens

of letters from women and men who say the same thing.I want people to know that we have a wide

variety of experiences as black women. I was only reporting on my experience and some

of the issues that I explore in my current novel.

I was not trying to make a blanket statement for all black women;

I was talking specifically about some black women.

I hope people respond to me the way I respond to them—in speaking the truth in love. This is all about loving black women and black women’s health,

respecting every black woman out there, whatever shape she’s in and respecting her right to

have a culture in transformation as she wishes to transform as most possible.Must Read: 

If people take anything from your article, what would you want it to be?The biggest thing in the article is that we’re in a crisis and how [do] we get out of it.

We can debate how we got into it, but we need to be focused on how we get out of it.

It’s productive, it’s a conversation about what is the environment that creates the

greatest possibility for positive change.

Like most Americans, Mary makes an average salary and doesn’t have the extra cash to

try every celebrity endorsed Anti-Aging miracle cream out there, let alone splurge on

expensive medical procedures.

At one time she considered taking out loans for injecting Botox and even contemplated

getting a facelift, but became frightened after researching Botox and face lift malpractice

stories. Mary was determined to find a safe and affordable solution that would yield real

results and not leave her in debt.

After watching a television documentary on cell revival, Mary discovered two beauty

product trials from trusted skin care companies  to unlock the secrets of anti-aging. Her results are comparable to what you might attain at Medi Spas and Doctors

offices for $3000 or more, all the while using nothing but free samples.After finding

Mary’s shocking success story on the Internet, we thought it was important to share

her story with our readers wanting to erase those wrinkles and ”reverse the clock” on life.

This solution has not only removed her wrinkles, but also tightened her neck and face instantly.

It changed her life and we hope it can change yours too.

Her hair make her beauty

Posted on May 11, 2012 by c14

Randall’s bold statements stem from her own personal experience as a Black woman who grew up in the South and married

a Black man who appreciates his woman with love handles. In order to close the gap between Randall’s detractors and he

true intent,  I spoke with Randall, who recently released her fourth novel “Ada’s Rules” which chronicles weight loss journey

of a Southern preacher’s wife, about her passion for Black women’s health and her reaction to the “Black Women and Fat”

controversy.Many of your critics zeroed in on the statement, “Black women are fat because they want to be.”

Do you really believe that?My statement was that many black women are fat because they want to be. I said the word,

“many,” there was no “all.” When I talk about, “want to be,” I use an example of husbands. Let me use an example

that’s even more profound to me—grandmothers. My grandmother was big as three houses. She was a brilliant,

strong woman who ended up

having grandchildren and great-grandchildren that went to Harvard and MIT and the like, to do big things.

When I think of what it is to be powerful and beautiful, I think of her. That’s something I wanted to be. In the

heart of my hearts, when I think of strength and beauty, the first thought I have is of her. I am acknowledging

her influence on me.People want to say we’re overweight because we’re lazy, don’t exercise or eat right. Some

of that may be true, but many of us are heavy because we made the choice to work double or triple shifts.

We made the choice to serve the community above taking care of ourselves. Now, I am saying we’ve got to make

another choice.I wrote and published four novels in 10 years. That’s doing a lot of work. The way I get that work

done is not sleeping much or taking time to exercise and take care of myself. Those are choices I’ve made.

I haven’t gotten fat because of eating horrible foods, but by overwork. That’s a choice that most blacks make—going out and working the job as a domestic servant. Women that get up before day, come home deep into the night

to clean their own houses—those are choices we make and are proud of making. That choice has a price and one of those prices is obesity.

When I compare it to women who spend their whole day not serving the community and working out with a trainer for two hours—that’s a choice too. I chose.

curly hair

Posted on April 29, 2012 by c14

For the past two months I have been growing out one of the worst haircuts I have ever received. I have one word to describe this haircut…mullet! I promise, I am not exaggerating in the least. Half my head is short, the other long. And the short part is very puffy on top. What does this sound like to you?So…how did this happen? I tried a new salon down the street from my apartment a day before I left for Vegas for a work conference. I asked for a trim, I left with a mullet. Simple as that. Oh, and I was also given bangs aka “face framers.” C’mon lady!! I have thick , curly hair. Bangs!?Ok, enough ranting for now. This whole mullet experience has taught me a lot, starting with how to accept that yes indeed, I have a bad haircut, and how to deal.

1. Realize that it’s just hair, no one is dying, it will (eventually) grow back.

2. Call the salon to complain. Ask if there’s anything they can do to a) fix the cut or b) refund your money.

3. Understand that some cuts cannot be fixed, they just need time to grow out. Consider extensions if it’s really bad – and make the salon comp them.

4. Invest in a lot of bobby pins and learn how to perfect the poof. Great for disguising bangs or “face framers.”

5. Experiment with some new styles. Chances are your old styling ways won’t work for the time being. First things first, see how your hair dries naturally, then go from there. Perhaps add a headband or other hair accessory into the mix.

6. Keep hair pulled off your face in a clean ponytail or bun. I was using a large clip to create a simple twist and then blew dry the short pieces around my face that were too short to fit.

7. Give the salon and stylist honest reviews on Yelp or Google. In other words, slam them for giving you a mullet…I mean, bad haircut. This will make you feel better (I promise).

Taking care of your new hair extensions

Posted on March 13, 2012 by c14

How to Care For Your Hair weave Extensions

You have just invested a lot of money into getting a beautiful head of hair extensions, if you want them to continually look good and last a long time, then it is vital that you take care of them in-between salon visits.

Taking care of your new hair extensions

1. Prior to washing, always brush you hair thoroughly using the correct extension hairbrush making sure you remove all knots. It is important to remove any dreads or tangles prior to adding water, as this will make them knot more tightly.

2. It is best to wash your weave hair extensions in the shower as this allows the hair to fall in the direction it was attached. Hair extensions can get very heavy when wet and may cause a strain on the existing hair it is attached to and/or the scalp area, washing the hair over a basin will cause more stress on the hair and scalp, which may cause breakage or hairloss.

3. Thoroughly wet your hair in the shower. Using the shampoo recommended by your extension stylist add a small amount in the palm of your hand and rub your hands together. Distribute the shampoo through your hair weave concentrating on the scalp area. Do not rub the shampoo into the extensions, they will get enough shampoo through them when rinsing to clean them. Rubbing the extensions will cause them to matt especially if they are single fushion or metal ring extensions.

4. Rinse your hair thoroughly as any shampoo residue left in the extensions could dry them out.

5. Depending on the type of conditioner supplied by your stylist either thoroughly work into the longer lengths of the hair and rinse or leave in. With either type you will need to run your fingers through the extensions to ensure all the hair has been conditioned.

6. Loosely wrap the hair in a towel and squeeze out the excess moisture, do not rub, allow the extensions to fall down in the towel, don’t pile them on top of your head as this may cause the boding to twist.

7. Once the excess water has been removed by the towel, run your fingers through the hair to remove tangles, DO NOT comb as this will break the bonds, wefts or attachments. Dry the hair using a medium heat dryer and then brush the hair from tips working up towards the roots.

8. Apply a serum or refreshing conditioner as recommended by your stylist, to the ends of the hair to keep them from drying out and splitting.

9. Before using tongs, rollers or straightening irons always use a heat protective serum or conditioning spray, to protect the hair from heat damage.

Remember you hair extensions may be human hair, but they are not attached to the scalp so they don’t receive the natural oils, your hair on your head does. This means you will need to add plenty of moisturising products on a daily basis, but be sure to only use your stylists recommended products.

Most hairdressing products contain Ethanol, Alcohol, oils or proteins, these will cause the hair to dry out or affect the attachments, so make sure you use products which are especially designed for your hair extension type.
