Working with Our Unique Texture

Anthony Dickey, a very well known hair-care and style expert, provides techniques for the Naturals. We had the privilege of seeing him in action at Urbanbella on Roswell Rd. in Atlanta GA
Remember the African Descent Persons have such a blend of hair- types, that it is important for us to get familar with our own uniqueness so that we can work with what is......fabulous. The techniques can be used with any Natural Products! Dollar Store Products or if money is no issue the Hair Rules Products.

Lets Analyze Ourselves First

Sistah's, 
It is time to engage our minds, hearts and souls and think about why we do what we do with our hair & body. And what are we teaching the males & females we raise?

Spotlght-My Hair Story, Joy D


At the age of 7, I was introduced to the World of Chemicals. I went from a relaxer to a dry jerry curl then back to a relaxer. My scalp was always on FIRE! But like everyone else I continued the abuse. I was then educated on the benefits of wearing my hair natural. I decided to go straight for the Big Chop. This was a very emotional experience for me.  WOW! Where is my long straight hair??, Do I look like a boy?? I shed my tears in private... That lasted 2 years. With lack of educational on how to take care of my hair, I went back to the creamy crack for more abuse.

2008, I made a decision to finally stop living the LYE. It was costly to my hair, scalp, body and purse. Average relaxer at that time was $65 and up. So being myself and embracing this KINKY hair is priceless.  Whoo Hoo I'm free.  Let go of what view others have of you and embrace the heritage you were born with.

Real Chicks Definition

REAL

TRUE * GENIUNE * AUTHENTIC * RIGHT * BONA FIDE

CHICKS

   (slang for Woman)

 dictionary definitions
 
 
 
Mentally where are we, Women? When we get ready in the morning to present ourselves to the world, Who do we send? Is it what our DNA has produced and we have enhanced to present at its best? The Authentic Woman! Or have we transformed ourselves instead to try to be accepted by some person who has pre-determined your inferiority? A 50 year observation says that Humans Respect the Ones who are (not the best imitators but instead) the geniune, bona fide persons. In touch with themselves finding strength with who they are created to be. Notice our Male counterpart, hardly is he transforming his body to be anyone but who he was created to be! Chick's let's engage our minds!!!!!!

Chemicals and OUR Bloodstream

 
 
Sodium Hydroxide is a very Strong Chemical used in some perms to make African American Hair Straight. There is such a disproportionate amount of black women with Lupus, could the aforemention chemical be the culprit?

Himba Women From Nimibia Africa



These women have a rountine of grinding the red Ochre Rock and mixing the rock with butter and animal fat, then cover their bodies from head to toe with the mixture, giving themselves a red tinge, both hair and body. Look at the length. What can we take away?
  1. establish a routine,
  2. use good oils such as almond, johoba, coconut, castor oils (mixed with spring water) 1 part oil 3 parts water in a spray bottle. Use as a spritz to prepare for bed and when you want to freshen up the style or work with your 3 day old hair do,
  3. search for some red ochre rock, just kidding, but binding the hair or permitting it to rest for a month or so is good for growth.
  4. Check them out at

Product Review





Pantene's Co-Wash Conditioner and Curling Custard

The verdict: Not for the 4a/b hair type.  That is my hair type, and
it made my hair stiff and dry.

Maybe it would be a better product on 3b,c or 4/a.

Has anyone else tried it?
