Haute & Hair: Be the Change

Monday, September 29, 2008

This weekend was pretty interesting at work. My state, North Carolina, is a battleground state in the elections and the National Democratic Party have really been sending quite a few resources as well as people to our state. Obama has been here quite a few times, and has been on the campus of my alma mater and place of employment, East Carolina University.

This weekend, three celebrities came on campus to encourage students and the community to register and vote. Friday, it began with Journee Smollett from The Great Debaters. First, let me tell you she is BEAU-TI-FUL and SKIN-TY!!!! LOL

And her hair is hot too (as you can tell). There was a DJ and she came in dancing...she was bright, funny and charming.

Sunday, Ellen Pompeo from Grey's Anatomy and the daughter on CBS's Shark came (I don't feel like googling to find her name...lol). So I must say that I feel like my BSP (Black Star Power) has risen a point or two...LMBO!

Anyway, it's 2:34 AM and I'm really supposed to be tying these dang boxes for the fashion show on Tuesday. What fashion show do you ask? Well I'm on the Board of Directors for our local domestic violence program and our signature event is a fashion show. Our theme this year is "Sassy in the City" (guess what movie was the inspiration for that theme????).

Anyhoo I'm gonna wrap a few more boxes, then I'm turning it in. I'll just wrap more at work tomorrow...oops, did I say that?!?! LOL

Haute & Hair: My Hair Growth Progress

Thursday, September 25, 2008

The picture charts my hair growth since embarking on this journey in December, 2007. I'm glad I updated this because i was beginning to get discouraged. I am trying to reach Armpit Length (APL) by the end of the year, but unless I go for the spinster librarian look, I don't think that's going to happen. But after updating my signature pics, I can see a noticeable difference in the strength, texture and length of my hair.

Over the coming days and weeks, I will begin to break down my reggie (short for regimen) and give you some things that have worked for me along the way.

Stay Tuned!!!!

Haute & Hair: My Hair Care Regimen

  • Wash weekly (usually at salon)
  • DC every wash
  • Co-wash 1-3x a week (at home)
  • Rollerset 3-4x a week (I can't stand rollersets when they get old...LOL)
  • Protective styles (usually phony ponys)
  • Baggy (under phone ponys)
  • Relax every 9 weeks (may eventually stretch to 10 or 12)
  • Vitamins: biotin, MSM, b-complex, folic acid, women's multi, l-lysiene
  • Minimal heat (usually just hooded dryer)
  • MN mixture

Over the coming days and weeks, I will go into more depth regarding my regimen and how it's helped me to dramatically change the texture and length of my hair. Feel free to ask questions along the way and let me know your stories and trips too!
