Hey beauties!
How are you doing? I'm doing fine. I actually just left the house and am out running a few errands with my mom and then going to Dazzling practice. Dazzling is the dance team at my church.
All I did today was moisturize my hair with S-curl let it air dry and then put it in a messy/puffy bun. My phone doesn't take clear pictures so i might not be able to add one, so instead I'll explain what I did.
1. Make a pony tail.
2. Separate the hair into four or more sections.
3. Use a bobby pin to pin each section down as if you creating a pin curl.
The end result should be a hallow bun that bounces back when you push on it.
~~PèÂçĚ, ŁoVë, and HãŘmØňÝ~~

Wash and Trim
Good morning beauties!
How are all of you doing on this last day of 2010? Yes I know it has gone by very fast. Some of us have reached out hair goals while some of us are determined to reach it this upcoming year. What ever situation we may be in, I wish us all luck in 2011. I hope we all reach at least 2 of our hair goals, whether it be thinker hair, longer hair, healthier hair, or successfully transitioned hair.
This is actually the morning after getting my hair washed and trimmed. There is this woman from my church who owns a beauty salon and almost every in the church goes to her. So for the past two weeks I have been trying to go, but was always unsuccessful. Holiday's are very hectic!!
The name of the salon is Impeccable Beauty Salon and is located on Boynton Beach Blvd. I have heard horror stories of scissor happy stylist so the only person I wanted with a scissor near my head was Sister Marise.
My experience was interesting. Sister Marise was giving a women with gorgeous think long hair a relaxer so she had one of her employees wash my hair. What can I say about this woman...... Damme sa gen men di!!!! Haitian-Creole to English translation: This woman had some rough hands! Either I have just been washing my hair incorrectly or she needs a lesson in hair washing. First thing I questioned was why did she take a comb to scratch out dandruff? One of the first things I learned when I started my hair journey was that you should never pick at your scalp. You are basically putting it through shock. With every scratch you are putting microscopic tears into the scalp so it is going to have to heal itself. I feel like if my scalp is too busy healing itself then there is less time for hair to grow or it isn't growing properly. Next the woman started washing my hair and my scalp started to feel tender. It wasn't that good tender feeling I got when I first started taking care of my hair. I feel like she was just washing to rough. She wasn't scratching my scalp with her nails but I felt like she was trying to enter the knubs of her fingers into my brain. Maybe some people like that feeling but I don't. I wash my hair very gently and I'm not fond of others being rough with it. Sister Marise might not wash hair like that so I'll have to wait until I have her do my hair all the way through.
She then gave me some deep conditioning, not sure it if was a protein or moisturizing one but I feel like it was mainly moisturizing with a slight amount of protein because I was under the dryer only once. When Sister Marise was done putting rollers in for the woman she just relaxed she trimmed my dead ends. I was in such need of a cut because I had so many split ends, the most I've ever seen!!! She then roller set my hair and sat me under the dryer. When I was done the woman who washed my hair took out the rollers. I had to go to walmart with my mom so we just had her loosen the curls. For some reason she used a blow dryer and paddle brush. It didn't help too much because my hair seems to hold on to the tight curls for dear life! LOL!
This salon wasn't like the typical ones I've been to where you spend the entire day getting your hair done and then are forced to listen to the gossip the women are talking. And also this was the first time that a salon gave me a gift. It was a 2011 pocket planner with their name, address, and telephone number on it. I am in love with this thing. It was so convenient because a few minutes before she gave it to me I was thinking to myself that this upcoming year I want to have monthly summaries of what I did with my hair so if anyone wanted to follow it would be a lot easier. This planner is so perfect for that!
But nonetheless my experience at Impeccable Beauty was very good. I loved the customer service, everyone was so nice. Next time if I get the same woman to wash my hair I'll just tell her to be less rough and that their is no need to use a comb to pick out dandruff, even though that part wasn't terrible I still rather not have it done. Also I will moisturize my scalp everyday the week before so there is no dandruff for her to try to pick out. If your in ever in the Boynton Beach area and need someone to do your hair just leave me a comment and I'll send you the address.
I forgot to tell you, this only cost me $32. I think that is very fair.
I wrapped my hair last night in hopes of having the curls fallso when they finally do I will add the before and after photos.

The Nativity Story
This is definitely not a hair post but I feel like sharing it anyways. A friend of mine emailed a link to me this past week and I just watched the video.
I love how they used the birth of Jesus and incorporated it into a way that the youth of this time can better interpret. When you think about it, Mary got pregnant and wasn't married. Her and Joseph are claiming that she was impregnated by the Holy Spirit. Everyone must have thought they were crazy! They had to loose so many close friends and it had to have hurt them so much. Joseph could have just left Mary when everyone was either saying or thinking she was a whore, but he didn't. Even when an angel told him that she really was pregnant with God's child he could have left because of the pressure and criticism he was receiving from everyone.
That shows us that God works in ways that we will never understand but he opens our eyes to what we can. He gives us the courage to overcome all that people are saying about us, whether they are calling us names or trying to discourage us. We just have to stay on the course he had planned for us. It's not always going to be easy but in the end it will be satisfying!
