PRODUCT REVIEW: CHI ROYAL TREATMENT PEARL COMPLEX

I picked up this product a few days ago and used it on a client yesterday....

The specs:
Pearl Complex - Lightweight treatment perfect for hair and skin. Pearl Complex is a superior lightweight leave-in treatment with white truffle and pearl developed for all hair and skin types. It will replenish, reconstruct and nourish, while helping in repairing split ends without buildup or added weight.

My initial review:
I love it!  I applied it to wet hair...it has a greasy consistancy, so I was a bit scared.  I thought to myself "not another serum".  I applied a little more than a quater amout to the entire head.  It felt velvety on my hand but once applied to the head, it felt greasy.  I sat my client under the hooded dryer to dry for 20 mins. and when I sat her in the chair her hair was soooooo soft. Not oily at all. it had body and movement.  My client had thick, natural, African american hair.  I would use it on finer textures, but limit the amount.

I would reccommend this product...PLUS you can use it on your skin as well!!!!! Awesome!  If you get this product, please tell me what you think!

Until next time.....

Knowledge is Power: Fairy knots...

Have you ever ran you fingers through your hair and noticed a few knots near your ends.  First of all, keep your hands out of your hair!!! Those knots are dreadful FAIR KNOTS...

Fairy knots or single strand knots (SSK) are knots on a single strand of hair.  Which in turn, results in split ends and breakage.  Many naturals are plagued with the frustrating "condition".

The term fairy Knots come from the belief that tiny fairies, actually tie the strand into knots.  Absolute rubbish!!!The truth of the fact, is that the coilier the hair the more the hair has the opportunity to wrap around itself to form these single strand knots. 

The only way to remedy fairy knots are to snip snip...but to prevent the from occurring there are a few things you can try:

1.  Moisturize...Moisturize....Moisturize!!!
2.  Avoid wash n go's whenever possible
3.  Dust hair regularly
4.  Seal ends with an oil or butter....did I say moisturize!!!

Even if you do all of these things, it is still likely that coily hair like 4a, b, and c to see a few knots.  I get them often, and when I see them I just snip that strand so I can prevent it from splitting.  If you do dust yours ends regularly, please invest in a good pair of shears.  Dull shears WILL do the same things as fairy knot; cause split ends.  Invest in pair of high quality, sharp shears.  They can get pricey, so do shop around!

Love, Peace, and....
Not too much hair grease!!!

I'm getting married!!!

Soooooo....
As stated in the title...I am getting married!!!!!

Here's how it went down:
We started the evening with dinner at a beautiful Italian restaurant in the hotel.  By the way, we stayed at Mount airy casino resort. This hotel is beautiful, compared to the motels and low budget hotels of the Poconos.

I know my man sooo well y'all...I can't say that I was very surprised.  He was suspiciously quiet the entire day, and seemed somewhat nervous...clue #1.  That's how I knew what was up. 

We sat and played the slots for a bit, after dinner.  He started talking about how much he loved me and asking if I loved him and wanted to be with him forever.  He is not usually this much of a mush...clue #2!  He got on his knees and sort of proposed but no ring?!?! I didn't take it serious...not that I wouldn't marry him without the engagement ring, I just KNOW he would give me one if he were serious.

We head back to our room, and he starts taking off his earring.  His diamond resembles a princess cut diamond, so he acted like the earring was a ring and tried it on my finger. While doing so, he started telling me he wanted to be with me for the rest of his life, and take care of me and our daughter.  I truly love this man!!!  He reached in his pocket and pulled out a REAL ring box.  OMG!!!! I was so happy to see that box. All I could say was "is that for me?"

I LOVE BEING IN LOVE!!!!
...On to wedding planning lol!

Me and my hunny!!

until next time....

Long time, no blog!!!

Hi all,

I have been super busy this month.  For the most part, I have been working on building my clientele and studying for my cosmetology state boards.  I'm back on board though!

This weekend is my anniversary! OMG, I have been with my bf for 8 yrs.  We celebrating in the Poconos, at a casino resort.  I am soooooo excited,, we went last year and had a blast!  Three nights of gambling, dinner, drinks and grown up time lol. 
Baby Jayla is staying with her grandma for the weekend.  I'm fortunate to have a very supportive family.  If ever I need a break to clear my head and just relax, there is always someone more than willing to occupy my babygirl.  I know everyone doesn't have this, and I feel truly blessed. 

Plan to see some update from the mountains!!!

Love, Peace
and not too much hair grease!!

P.S. Check out the new video, showing how I created this look....Smooches!
