Nappy Kitchen

Nuthin Huge

I've been meaning to update this thang, but I haven't been doing a whole lot of creative stuff with my hair. And when I do fix it up, I'm too lazy to take pics. I'm sure a new camera would give me more incentive, but alas that's not going to happen any time soon. *sigh*

Tales of Relaxer Hell

#1 - For some reason, I always get approached in the beauty supply store for hair advice. This never fails to amuse me, as I'm the person with the nappiest hair in the place. At any rate, this woman approached me about conditioners that would help strengthen her hair. Apparently her hairstylist (using that term very loosely) neglected to wash all of the relaxer out of her hair. Poor thing didn't notice until she got home, started combing her hair and noticed it was coming out in clumps. A quick glance at her hair (which was mostly hidden under a hat) confirmed that it was indeed damaged. It was sooo thin. *sigh* So I pointed out some good conditioner which apparently was too expensive for her. She mentioned going to the dollar store to get something close to it. Pffftt. In some cases you do get what you pay for. People will never learn.

#2 - This girl at the club!! Y'all she was all on the dance floor schweating it out, working it for the people! *sigh* How bout when she came off that floor, her hair was hanging about her head like limp vermicelli. It looked all sparse and stringy like that Tales From The Crypt dude.

Moving on...

My hair is still growing at a pretty good rate. Funny that I'm finally getting to a point where my hair tangles more easily. Short hair spoiled me quick! I'm adjusting as I go along though. Every day something cool is going on with my napps.

Here's my fro a month ago:

And now:

Here's the headband/fro combo:

Here's a pic of my club 'do. The PHHB was darker than that btw.

I've been steadily trimming my hair over the course of some days to get rid of crispy ends as well as even out the fro some. So far I haven't taken a huge accidental chunk out. *thumbsup*

Oh and before I forget...I finally tried Daily Defense Tender Apple. Man, that works good as hell to be only a dollar. I recommend it and stuff.
