[Hair]Post-trim Hairstyle: High Puff

Yvette

As I mentioned in an earlier post, with the recent trim I can no longer ponytail my hair. As a result, over the Thanksgiving Holiday I wore my high in a high puff. According to family members' opinions, it looks okay on me, but not as flattering as my other styles (low-hanging ponytail, elongated wash-and-go). For now… Continue reading [Hair]Post-trim Hairstyle: High Puff

[Hair/Soul/Spirit] “Keep Your Crown” (Oh, the Irony!)

Yvette

This past Thursday I got my hair trimmed, as I discussed here, and I'm a little sad about it, for reasons discussed below. Ironically, the uplifting message that has had me deeply positive and God-confident of late is entitled "Keep Your Crown." (To hear the message at no cost, please visit this page and enter… Continue reading [Hair/Soul/Spirit] “Keep Your Crown” (Oh, the Irony!)

[Soul/Spirit] Songs, Ruthless Trust Excerpts, Message #512, and Mother and Son Wedding Dance :)

Yvette

I strongly believe that environment and company kept are huge. As we know, the joy of the Lord is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). This tells me we must protect our own joy as well as others' joy. It can be tough: Grumblers abound! I received a LOT of inspiration about this from a guy I… Continue reading [Soul/Spirit] Songs, Ruthless Trust Excerpts, Message #512, and Mother and Son Wedding Dance 🙂

Review: SLAP (Satin-lined Cap)

Yvette

This morning it took me 3 minutes to get completely presentable and ready to drive my oldest to his grandparents' so they could drop him off at school: I rolled out of bed, covered my unstarted hairstyle with my SLAP, washed my face, and put on my favorite neutral lipstick--Revlon's Iced Mocha. When I returned to… Continue reading Review: SLAP (Satin-lined Cap)

Review: Jakeala Hair Products for the Max Hydration Method (Oh, wow!!!)

Yvette

About the Max Hydration Method (Briefly) I became re-interested in doing the max hydration method (MHM) when a LongHairCareForum.com member advised me that for her, the MHM makes her hair more resistant to tangling and knots. Sounds good to me! 😀 The max hydration method is a series of hair care steps designed to allow… Continue reading Review: Jakeala Hair Products for the Max Hydration Method (Oh, wow!!!)

Later in this post: Greenhouse Beauty's video about the importance of stretching natural hair My Scheduled Hair Relaxer? But, Why? A few weeks ago I made an appointment at Lenoir Salons in Dallas, Texas to get my natural hair relaxed (chemically straightened). It's amazing to me that after THREE YEARS of working hard to transition… Continue reading The Importance of Easy, Stretched, Everyday Hair and Protein-Moisture Balance
