The Damage Fake Hair and Braids Can Inflict!

LADIES!!
Have a look at this link to the news report sharing this story of a woman who visited the ER because of her braids. This story is so sad, it is horrible that something like this can happen. I have personally never had braids done by anyone- my sister did them once when I was little (like 7 or 8). I have never gotten them since then and I don't intend to- barring the fact that I refuse to pay for them. What are your thoughts ladies?

So I'm writing to talk about Miss Jessie's and their products' ingredient lists.
Though they have said on their Facebook fan page that there has been no change in the ingredients for the Target version of MJ's products, there has. Additionally, other vendors are receiving some of both versions. Read the ingredients, if Mineral Oil is like the 2-4th ingredient or even present period, it is the new watered down version. I spoke with an African Shop owner in Greensboro, NC, who also carries the product line along with various other natural products such as shea butter and she said that all the product lines that are present in mass market stores end up having to water down their line in order to stay ahead.
Even Jane Carter (JC) and Curls had to do the same thing, however, JC and Curls are honest about it. The Curls products in Target are marketed as Curls For Target, specifically. In order to get the original Curls Products you must read the design on the front of the bottle. It is in plain sight as long as you know to read for it and what it means.
Another piece of information I learned from here was that MJ and JC will only be in Target if they meet a certain sales quota in the first quarter of their release or so. So I guess if you want it to stay there you must buy it, however it will continue to be the same watered down version. I have pictures of the ingredient list from Curly Meringue which I will post so you can see the difference first hand.
Just be aware of these facts as you all go out to find the products you wish to try!
love, love,

Hair Shock after Big Chop

I fell off the map.. I'm so sorry you guys! I do however have some stuff to put up so I figured what better day than the 1st to get a new start. I did my BC on February 11th, just before Valentines Day! I have a few pictures of my hair that I will post up soon.
I have an experience I'd like to write about from my BC that I have seen is untouched in the Natural Community. When I did my chop I had transitioned for 9 months. When I cut my hair initially it was in shock, all of my hair looked as if it was blow dried. I did not like it, it had no real texture at all. I had to wait over the course of 1-2 weeks for most of my hair to get a texture. Even still, there is about 10-20% of my hair that is in shock or something. I was extremely frustrating and it still is to style, twists wont stay in and i can't wear my twists out because they look ridiculous with the straight ends hanging off and twist outs look crazy because the ends are straight and poking up as opposed to curling on themselves... its just ridiculous. As the situation changes I will let you all know. Not everyone experiences this.
Anyway
ttys!!!!
