What Kind of Hair is That?

Mame — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 18:46:28 +0000

Before I really get into writing this post I want to first ask you to forgive me because I know I can be rather silly at times. I simply can’t help it.

Okay I was at the club this weekend. Anyway as I was grooving on the dance floor I couldn’t help but be distracted by the girl across from me. Why was I distracted? Because her weave was fly. It looked really natural on her. She had her hair matched very well to the weave and I’m sure she has a good hair stylist.

Later on that night we both happened to be in the bathroom at the same time where I was able to get a really good look at her hair thus realizing that it was a weave. Now the question is after I was like “girl your hair is fly” would it have been inappropriate to ask her where she got it from?

Hey let me know your opinion, I personally think that ladies should share some of their beauty secrets, right?

6 tips to keep yourself young looking

Fruits and Vegetables: Promote Beauty and Health

Mame — Sun, 22 May 2011 23:13:13 +0000

Fruit makes you go. Vegetables make you glow.

Have you heard the saying that fruit makes you go and vegetables make you glow? It’s a catchy phrase that actually has something to it. Besides the fact that fruits and vegetables are critical to promoting good health they can have a good effect on your energy and add shine to your skin.

If you aren’t in the habit of getting a healthy dosage of fruit and vegetables maybe you should consider it. This summer try adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet. Fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fibers that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Compared with people who only consume small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases.

Fruits and vegetables are a great source of vitamin A which is great for your skin and also keeps your eyes healthy and helps to protect against infections. Sweet potatoes, pumpkin, carrots, spinach, turnip greens, mustard greens, kale, collard greens, winter squash, cantaloupe, red peppers, and Chinese cabbage are an excellent source of vitamin A.

Fruit and vegetable combinations for beautiful skin and energy

Carrot juice and cucumber together are great for acne
Asparagus is an excellent source of vitamin K and folate. Asparagus also contains high levels of vitamin C and A. These two antioxidants are important for reducing the negative effects of free radicals. Vitamin C is important for energy because it increases the body’s ability to absorb iron. Iron is needed to help transport oxygen in red blood cells. Asparagus is great for your skin.
Blueberries are full of flavonoids, anthocyanin, phenolic compounds, beta-carotene, ellagic acid, vitamin C, A and E. These nutrients make the blueberry one of the best fruits for protecting against chronic fatigue.
Broccoli, mangos and spinach are just a few of my favorites that also are good for energy.

Food Tips

Stay away from fatty deep fried foods if you have acne problems.
Did you know that food with a lot of onions can make you sleepy?
Vitamin C or even orange juice can calm the nerves.
Did you know that kiwi fruit has more vitamin C than oranges?

Braids and Acne Problems

Mame — Fri, 20 May 2011 06:08:14 +0000

Do you breakout on the sides of your face sometimes when you have braids? Some people do. When you wear braids, especially for a long period of time, the natural oils build up in your scalp. Natural oils are good though and they promote hair growth. Also, most of us use a variety of oil-sheens and moisturizing sprays to add luster to our braids. So eventually all the oil from your hair and the products you use on your scalp is on your braids. The problem is that dust and dirt in the air will stick to your hair as well. Some people already have sensitive skin so the oil and dirt that can be in your braids can cause you to break out where the hair touches your face the most.

Don’t be alarmed your hair being dirty is like the equivalent of sleeping on a dirty pillow case. Both aren’t good right? So on that note also notice that when you put oils in your hair which you should to maintain a good level of moisture, it also eventual gets on your pillow case as well. This can also promote skin irritation. Again don’t worry, the solution is simple.

Wash your braids or twist braids once a week or every two weeks. Note you do not need to wash your whole head (at the scalp). You wet your hair up to a few inches from the scalp and wash the braids and rinse them well. Then redip them.
Wash and or change your pillow case every week. This is good to do generally to promote the health of your skin. Dust and dirt from our bodies collect there without extra help from your hairstyle anyway.

Well I hope these tips help you out. Also, always try to use good natural products in your hair this will further minimize any irritation to your skin. There are great oil sheens with ingredients that are good for your whole body. There are some great leave in conditioners and moisturizers too.

Extensions Braids and Cornrows

Mame — Fri, 13 May 2011 05:09:22 +0000

I bet your saying that term is so old school right? Well rather you call them braids, twists, or you still call them extensions they are still in style. We press it, curl it, weave it, so we might as well braid it every now and then.

Cornrows with curly fro

Long small cornrows

Ladies don’t let yourself be cheated out of an easier daily routine because someone told you braids aren’t fashionable. If anything they are the best fashion accessory. With braids you can try all kinds of styles and even test out hair colors.

Deep curly silky twists

Now you can stop putting off going to the gym and stop being late to work styling your hair in the morning. Look hot, professional, sexy, whatever your mood is.

Individual braids or twists give you the most versatility because you can move them in all directions. Then cornrows are even more of a get up and go style and take even less time to put in than individuals. Either way you will enjoy the freedom that comes with them.

Getting Braids For The First Time

Mame — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 17:33:03 +0000

Braids, silky twist and nappy twist are all great styles to wear in your hair. Besides being stylish it can make your daily routine easier with its get-up and go capabilities. They require very little maintenance and believe it or not they are pretty easy to style.

Many believe and I am one of them, that braids, twist etc. help your hair to grow. When you have a skilled braider doing your hair you will see what I am talking about. I am not bragging at all but I have been told that I have hair growing hands when I braid.

The braid is just a tool to help your hair rest. Your hair gets a chance to grow because you are not combing, brushing, blow drying, and or pressing it to death. Everyone’s hair grows. Its what we do or don’t do to it that makes it break off. So here are a few tips on how to maximize your hair’s period of rest to grow.

If you have split ends have them clipped. I suggest by a professional. Hair commonly splits at the ends when unhealthy and that is wear the breakage begins.
Get a good shampoo and a deep conditioner like Virgin Hair Fertilizer. Always start with a clean scalp and condition the hair well.
Get a good oil or moisturizer like BBD Stretch that happens to be a moisturizer, growth cream, deep conditioner and 24 hour reconstructor in one! I know that is a lot of good things in one right? Use your oil or moisturizer daily or at least 3 times a week. Moisturized hair equals healthier hair.
You will need some shine like an oil sheen or a gloss like Mixed Chicks Hair Silk. Use this daily or a few times a day as needed. This also can help to add moisture as well giving sheen.

Extra Tips:

If you want your braids to last longer always tie them down when you lay down, when showering or doing vigorous cleaning, work etc. Its not a must but when I work out I tie my hair down especially if I’m going in the steam room. I never go in the hot sauna with twist or that style where you wear your hair half braided and half out or any braided style with curls because it makes all my curls or waves fall right out. So stay away from the heater and no hovering over open hot ovens too long.

If you have unruly edges try using a mild perm or texturizer only on the edges around your head (Shh, that’s a little inner city girl trick).

Mixed Roots Curl Pudding

Mame — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 06:14:13 +0000

Great for all hair types.

Curls curls, and more curls. I love this stuff. When I first tried it I must admit I was skeptical. However after the first use I saw right away that it works great. My hair is permed so when I use Mixed Roots Curl Pudding it made my natural hair nice and curly.

When every I get a curly weave and I leave some hair out in the front, I always have to make sure I have some Curl Pudding at home. Its one of my favorite tools for helping my hair to blend with my weave.

First I take the hair that is left out and comb some curl pudding through it. Then depending on how wavy I want my hair to look I will make small or medium sized twist with the hair left out. I always start by braiding at the root a few strokes then continue and finish with twisting. Then I put some more Curl Pudding towards the ends of my hair. This way the waves will start at the root and the twist will give it that loose wavy curl I’m looking for. After my hair dries i carefully pull the twist apart and I’ve got hair that matches my full head curly weave. I love this stuff and you will to. Works great on synthetic and human hair.

Mame — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:42:28 +0000

Tired of unruly hair? Try Mixed Chicks line of products. Great with all hair types.

Having trouble getting your hair to behave? Do you have hair that tends to get tangled or stubborn curls with that unruly frizz? Does your hair seem to resist gels and leave-in conditioners? Well its time to try something new. If you have not already heard about it, Mixed Chicks has a great line of products that can benefit all hair types from curly to straight. The reviews tell that this line of products work great on hair of all ethnic types but will really give your wavy or curly hair the life its been looking for.

My niece is African American and Vietnamese. She has the softest light brown curly hair but it is so hard to maintain. It would always be a chore washing her hair because afterward came the wild tangles and the stubborn curls. Let’s not even talk about after blow drying it because next would be the revenge of the frizz.

My sister and I tried several products. At one point my sister even considered some sort of light perm or texturizer. We knew that wasn’t really the best idea so we kept searching. Through our trials, errors and research we discovered that your hair thrives when it is properly moisturized. There are many hair products that claim to do just that but if you want a product that benefit the wellness of your hair and makes it look great at the same time while giving you the control you need, try Mixed Chicks hair products.

We used the whole product line from the gentle clarifying shampoo and detangling deep conditioner to the gloss and shinning Hair Silk. We started with the suggested trio that is the MIXED CHICKS 10oz shampoo, MIXED CHICKS 8oz deep conditioner and the MIXED CHICKS 10oz leave-in conditioner. Now my niece has the cutest bouncy curls. Her hair was wild now it’s got style. Thanks Mixed Chicks.
