Grown folks, into the pool for adult swim!

one of the topics I've seen discussed repeatedly on natural hair sites is how to workout and still manage to keep your hair looking nice and minimize any risk of damage. well, i saw something today that made my secret swimmer's heart race with glee!

turns out there is a way for natural girls to go swimming wihtout ending up with dried out damaged hair in the process. Kcurly over at Newly Natural has cracked the code!! check THIS out:

"So, fast forward to the next time I went swimming. I soaked my twists with conditioner, applied my lycra cap, followed by a silicone cap and furthered secured with the swim band.

"Now this is a winning combination! My caps stayed on, I couldn’t feel any water seeping in, and there was no need for a chin strap! I still looked goofy, but it worked!"

I am just as excited about the swim band as she is! finally, a way to go swimming without wearing that oh, so inconspicuous chin-strap swim cap.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
yeap. that one.
 
happy swimming!!

it's majik!

last year when i began the transitioning process, i would look wistfully at photos of women with comb coils online and say to myself "that really looks nice, i bet i could rock that look...or end up looking like a stick bug trying."

the stick bug image kept any attempts at this hairdo at bay.

well, for those of us who are not as easily frightened by the prospect of looking like bugs, some witches over in the 214 have come up with a product that can give you geeyogious coils in about 3 nanoseconds. something to think about the next time you're about to plunk down DUCKETS for comb coils that are gonna take hours to be placed.



the lotion that is put on the magic sponge is kinda sticky, so it grabs the hair and helps the coils stay put. so you can walk around feeling all Deep and Thorough on Tuesday and then wash it out to be all Free and Cree Summer on Thursday.

if you so choose.

man, i gotta start going to hair shows...on second thought, never mind. the magistrate will not understand that i spent my rent money on hair lotions, potions, and notions.

and no one is impressed by a well appointed homeless woman.
