The best hair straightener – Chi Nano
Obviously it was time To get a Chi Nano. This is why you’ll love the Chi Nano. As opposed to other Chi Straighteners, it has temperature control. And it heats up lightening quickly. And it still heats all the way up to 395 if you want it to. I don’t think I need that. Even […]

Length Update – Shaping a Growing Pixie
Joni at Franklyn has my back. Months after cutting my pixie it’s still an unmanageable mop of hair. It’s been almost 8 weeks since Tech Hair linking in Philadelphia, and I was excited to get my first haircut of my new hair. I explained the knots to Joni and mentioned that a wide tooth comb […]

More on Alopecia Solutions: Tech Hair or Micro Point Linking
I was going to wait a long time (until I could better afford it) before I did this. But I cancelled my last hair appointment (pixies seem to be my only option right now) because I was so under-excited about it. In fact I felt like crying. I didn’t want to go. So I decided […]

Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder Review

Not Your Mother’s Kinky Moves Curl Defining Cream and She’s a Tease Volumizing Hairspray Review
So I couldn’t resist trying almost every single NYM (Not Your Mother’s) product. The branding and consistent low price lured me in. Every product is exactly the same price – $6.50 or $4.74 at Walmart. The promise of things like “grapeseed extract” and “bamboo” and “argan oil,” which is what all the high end brands […]

I took out my extensions
Yup there they are. Then I decided that the new longer pixie look would go with Sonia Kashuk Ultra Luxe Lipstick on Classic Red. This was my pixie 6 weeks ago. (The flash lighting always brings out burgundies that the webcam does not). This is a progression. Wig to extensions to all my own natural […]

Comparison of Two Roundbrushes – CHI Turbo and Comare
The brush on the left, the Comare 100% boar’s hair brush, I’ve had for several years. It’s a great brush and I’ve always used it for round brushing my hair and blowing it out. Just recently when I got my new extensions in, I picked up a CHI Turbo roundbrush. My hair is shorter so […]
