Michael Jackson - Rest In Peace

Like so many millions of you, I couldn't believe it either. THE Michael Jackson? Dead? No way. It's still hard for me to accept it even as I write this post. I watched BET for hours last night as they showed his videos back-to-back. The one that hit me and brought tears to my eyes was "You Are Not Alone". I love you Michael. You will be missed beyond words. My prayers are with your family. Rest in eternal peace.

Introducing....AfroVeda for Men!

For black men, vitamins and moisturizers are key to healthy hair. Lack of vitamins can cause slow growing, dull hair and hair that is easily broken or damaged and can sometimes cause thinning. Whether you have healthy or unhealthy hair, keeping a daily hair care regimen will let you get the best look with your hair and also keep your hair healthy and on your head instead of going bald. Prepare your hair for your hair style by giving your hair what it needs to be stronger and healthier for the hair style that you chose!With the right hair care, you can achieve the hair style you want with ease and without having to worry about the after math. So where can black men find natural products for the care of their hair? AfroVeda, of course!

New York Style!!

Hello, everyone!! I recently had the awesome opportunity to spend the weekend with my son in New York. It was his 16th birthday and turned out to be a wonderful place to celebrate! I love NY!!

Prior to our trip, I posted a question regarding protective styles because I wanted an easy style for the weekend. Well, here are a few pictures of what I ended up with. It's a sew-in weave that I actually did myself (although far from professional!). It held up pretty good, though, for an amateur! LOL!! I liked it so much in fact that I re-installed it 2 weeks later (after a henna treatment and an intense deep conditioning treatment with the Ashlii Amala). My hair felt so soft I almost hated covering it back up! But this new style has helped me with the hand-in-hair syndrome I seem to have picked up! Now it's growing like a weed!! I keep it moisturized with both the Khorem Hair Serum and the Shikakai Hair Growth oil, both of which I apply daily. I can't wait to see the mad growth when I take it down in 3 more weeks!!

This is my son & I in NY on the subway. We were coming back from China Town...you know what that means! Shopping galore!!
This picture was taken 2 weeks later when I re-installed. Looks exactly the same! I'm a happy camper! :-)

All in all my experience with sew-in weaves has been enjoyable. I have had no breakage and it appears to be doing what I hoped it would do....protect!

In perfect peace!
