"her roots look as thirsty as cracked lips."

What in the world....how does a kajillionaire end up wearing a lacefront wig in this condition?? is that what's hot in the streets? what's this style called, Honey Homeless?

i just don't understand...

for colored girls when transitioning is not enough

picture it, Charlotte, NC, 5:00 pm, babysitter's......

Babysitter: i saw you talking to /redacted/'s mommy this morning in the driveway. how was that conversation?

Me: fine. i was talking to her about her sisterlocs.

Babysitter: oh, really?

Me: yeah. but, i do have a problem i need to talk to you about.

Babysitter: just go ahead and get a relaxer.

Me:....and the problem has nothing to do with my hair.

Babysitter: oh!

inner Me: awwwwkwarrrrrrd!

when flexi-rods go wrong

Sunday evening i decided to try to put some waves in my hair using flexi-rods. i got some Isoplus styling gel and was determined to give this style a go. i was bolstered by the fact that my Transitioning Buddy told me that bantu knot-outs were saving her life during this process. and i really felt like it was time to do something because i'm really starting to feel uncomfortable about how my hair looks day to day.

I'd watched the 15 minute Bantu Knot Out tutorial only to discover that i seem to have too many hands and arms to get the hair to successfully wrap around itself at the base. so i thought flexi-rods would be a easy alternative.

So i sat down Sunday night and while watching True Blood, began the process of twisting my hair and rolling it on the flexi-rods. at the last second, i punked out and didn't use the styling gel. and i didn't wet my hair either.

How did it turn out, you ask? GREAT!!



....if your idea of great is Roseanne Rosannadanna.

Back to the drawing board, my friends.
