Welcome to my little corner of the universe. Here you'll find my thoughts, criticisms, and cheers all for the world to see. This is my take on all things hair, fashion, men, etc... This is my take on all things LIFE. Hopefully we'll both learn something by the end...
Lots on my mind; time to get it out...
This is a small piece of myself that I'm now willing to share. Handle with care; contents will break under pressure.

30. Total Accident...
I wish things like this would happen on purpose... but they don't... only by accident...lol.
I started by washing and conditioning in the shower, but this time I did decide to try something different. I've seen and read a lot of people section, detangle, and twist. I decided to try this method... couldn't hurt right...?
So while in the shower I started in the back sectioning, detangling, and twisting... it took longer than I thought [definitely ran out of hot water... grrr] I covered my hair with a plastic bag, and accidentally took a 2 hr nap.
Deep condition - check.
I rinsed the conditioner out while my hair was still in the twists and they didn't even come out [score!].
I took out each section starting at the back... but when I started I was using a different conditioner that apparently doesn't like shea.... no bueno... spritz w/ water and oil and re-twist.
I moved on up to the remaining sections and realized they still had a bit of conditioner left in them, so I just put the shea butter on top of what was already there to seal... It didn't look bad, but the back section wouldn't blend... grrr...
I was about to leave so I had to figure out what to do... Then I remembered a few weeks ago I'd used this scarf as a headband...
So with some quick thinking and ingenuity - VOILA!
Its vintage if I do say so myself...

28. Sir you just hit a nerve...
So last night I was at this house party looking real cute , I might add in my day old twist out with lace head band accessory - lol. Being the social floater that I am I was saying hey to people and stuff... you know - the usual. I was saying hey to this guy, and he says to me "So I see you're doing the Erykah Badu thing."
ERRRRRRRR! *Jamie Foxx Voice*
Flag on the Play!
I'm getting annoyed just remembering this ish!
"Excuse me?!"
"You're hair..."
"Erykah Badu had a platinum blond mohawk..."
"I mean I like the natural styles and all...."
So apparently this was supposed to be a compliment. And that's fine (I guess). But what I am unable to understand is why 1. I must be attempting to emulate someone since I changed my hair - I've never really been good at that. and 2. Why does it have to be Erykah Badu [my hair doesn't even look like hers]?!
Don't get me wrong, I love Erykah Badu's music and she is definitely and individual, but she's a bit eccentric for my taste (and by eccentric I mean just a lil crazy). And that's fine - for her, but I'm gonna pass on that style icon for inspiration. Not to mention her fro was a wig.
Anywho.... I was just a slightly offended by what it sounded like he was implying and simply responded, "No, this is just my hair." I can appreciate the compliment for what it was worth, but maybe some people should consider the context of their words before they speak...
