Rhianna's New Do: Hotness or A Hot Mess?

Rhianna emerges, again. This time with a little tweaking to her hawk. It seems like everyone is hopping on the shaved head trend. For some reason, I am really loving this look on her. Further, it's a look you can fiercely rock with natural hair as Natural-Belle exhibits in her post.

I Would Love To Talk With This Mother

I saw this video on Mediatakeout last night, and let's just say it made the migraine headache that I had been suffering with all day intensify. There are soooooo many things I would like to say to this mother. Too many to list here, but here are a few of my thoughts in response to this video:
1. First, let me comb your hair like that. That is just plain torture. My 3 year old has just as much hair as the little girl in this video, and she fights, screams, runs, etc. when I do her hair. Lawd knows, I want to scream with her and sometimes I do. But to hold her down and curse her out...NEVER.
2. See this is what's wrong with our society and why we have the complexes we have with hair. You are instilling self hate in the child by cursing at her and telling her that her hair is nappy. SMH. That is why I dislike the word nappy.
3. Please sit down and check out a few blogs/ websites about natural hair care before you rip all the poor child hair out and she ends up wearing weave like you. Caring for children's hair takes patience and a little creativity. First, you don't want to detangle dry hair. It's much easier to detangle freshly conditioned hair. Also, section the hair and detangle in sections. Also give the child a toy to keep her busy. I usually give my daughter a doll so that she can do the dolls hair. With that said...
4. Again, let me comb your hair like that, please. I can't believe you were pulling and tugging on that child's hair like that. And who was behind that camera? They need their hair combed like that too.
5. Just be glad that I don't know your name because after combing your hair just like that while restraining you, educating you, I will call authorities on you too. Because that was just dead a%$ wrong. I'm done! Sigh. Ok, I've vented. I will turn it over to you ladies.

Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment Part 1

I was perusing the mall tonight with the kids when I remembered that Sephora was in the mall. So I stopped by to take pick up the Ojon Restorative Hair treatment. The representative was extremely helpful with pointing me directly to what I was looking for. But the moment I saw that small 1 oz. jar for $21, my eyes widened. Then I looked a the bigger 5 oz. size --$55. I immediately turned to the associate and asked, is there a happy medium? We both laughed as she explained that a little goes a LONG way. But I'm a cheapo when it comes to products. I have to know that it works before I invest my hard earned money, trust me I work hard to earn it. So, I settled for a complimentary sample, in which she happily prepared for me.

Right before I went to bed I decided to apply it to my hair as an overnight leave in treatment. And boy the fireworks started. My hair immediately felt more hydrated and softened. Ooh, and the buttery smell left me in heaven. So, for tonight, I am just enjoying the hydration in my hair, my curls need it.

Tomorrow, I will rinse it out and let y'all know if I feel a difference in the moisture level in my hair. So far, Ojon is a product line to watch.

If you haven't tried this, please stop by and visit the nearest Sephora for a complimentary sample. The sample gives about 2-3 treatments. By the way, if you live in the Mall of Georgia area, they are having an in-store Natural Hair work shop on Saturday. I am thinking about stopping by for it. Contact the Mall of Georgia store for details.
