My Hair Doesn't Make Me, I Make My Hair!

          I believe women are more sensitive about their hair than any other part of their body. I remember getting teased by the little white girls when I would wear my hair down at school because it would puff up, and also being teased by members of my family from my dads side, they are half Asian and have super wavy thick hair. I have always had thick hair but learned at a very young age that it just wasn't good..enough. What I know now is, I have beautiful hair! I think people are very uneducated when It comes to kinky or Afro texture hair. As I have stated in previous posts, Afro kinky hair need extra TLC. It needs to be handled delicately from the ends to achieve longer lengths. Otherwise we tear up our ends and that's why it may seem to never grow. Is that so difficult to comprehend? So when you are rushing out of the house to drop off the kids to school, DO NOT RUSH COMB YOUR HAIR! Just throw it in a bun, knit cap, bonnet, or scarf until you return and can take your time.

        I can't count how many lady's hair I have done that wishes they can stop wearing weaves. They can! if they really want to- that is. But unfortunately some people do not have the self discipline, the know how, or even know where to start. What keeps me from putting someone else's hair on my head is the thought that it came from someone else's head- Booyow!! Also no telling what can of spirit that person had or even bugs! I don't care that they treated it! I like the feel of my own hair growing out of my head. I like to be free, and this goes with my free spirit. I want my man to be able to adore my hair just as much as I do, and run his fingers through it from the scalp. Oh and ladies, if you have never gotten a scalp massage from your man, you're missing out! I also believe that healthy long locks on a sistas head opens her up to a better quality of life. Think about it! More positivity flows your way, that means compliments and smiles which leads to confidence and becoming more outgoing and meeting different interesting people and it goes on and on.

        I don't know about you, but I never felt comfortable wearing a weave. I always felt like they know me as the girl that doesn't have any hair lol or "that's not her hair" they would be debating amongst themselves. I know many women think and say,"I don't care what any body think" and that's good to a degree. You really should care what other people think.. pretty muuuch! (in my country twang voice) especially if you deal with people. You just don't have always do what other people think. Taking into consideration about image is important. Many people judge based on appearance, yeah it's not always right but that's the way it is.

      I have been in hair care for over 20 years. However now I feel it is my mission is to inform those that have been misinformed over the years about the care of their hair. So they can properly manage their hair at home by knowing what products works best for their hair and what oils are good to use. Also what products that are not good for their hair as well. Knowing these things are essential for promoting healthy hair and growing the hair to extraordinary lengths. women would be surprised at what their hair is capable of when nurtured.

Fashion Tips You Should Know About Women's Clothing

       

       Many women brag that they know how to dress themselves or they have the "in" thing for style. However, the truth is most women often fall victim to fashion blunders and are targets to the preying eyes of the teasing public. It is best that women should be more open to hear out new ideas about how to dress well and how to choose women's clothing properly since sticking with that same old habit of just going with the trend may mean repeating the same fashion mistakes over and over again.

Timeless Vs Trendy Styles

       Most women these days love to wear the latest fashion fad. Although, wearing the "in" thing provides a fresh, exciting and relevant feel to the wardrobe, timeless style shouldn't be neglected at all. That's why they are called timeless because they can be used anytime regardless of the latest trend. Wearing dresses with simple yet elegant lines works almost every time even if you don't become the aisle head turner or the spark up the runway. You should also bear in mind that not all trendy styles are for you. For example, in as much as skinny jeans are commonly used nowadays, you should better think twice in wearing them most especially if you look far better with timeless A-line skirts.

     Sometimes, wearing that LBD (little black dress) takes you anywhere. A chic black timeless look is very versatile because of its neutrality. You can wear it as itself or add a little accent of color. Some add leather jackets to elevate the look further. It is also one of the easiest choices that women can make. When you have nothing left in your closet other than your LBD, don't hesitate to wear it because there are a lot of methods to pull it off. Don't become one of those fashion victims who always try to use the latest trends. Oftentimes, they end up wearing too much trendy stuff at once that they already look very odd.

The Right Color and Fit

      Don't be afraid to experiment with color. Sometimes, wearing clothes that have vibrant colors emphasizes your skin. Find your best color in violet, pink and blue among many others. Nonetheless, some prefer to wear black most especially if they want to hide those extra pounds. In this connection, you should also buy clothes that fit your form but not too fit. The fit should also include the correct dress and hem lengths that suit your body length right.

Dressing Appropriately With Meticulous Attention To Details

    Dressing right for the occasion is also a very common tip that isn't followed by some women. No matter how gorgeous you look, you will surely raise eyebrows if you don't follow the cocktail attire or formal affair dress codes. In addition, you must be wary about the tiniest details about what you wear. Because several women like to match their attire with some handbag, scarf or other accessory, they should make sure that the combination is not too overpowering. Pay close attention to details because sometimes, women's clothing is best without any form of accessory.

Know the fashion tips that women should observe when dressing themselves up. Learn the importance of timeless women's clothing, and the habit of not using too much trendy style at
