Well that was a dumb comment….

A few days ago on The Wendy Show, Wendy Williams invited Mary Alice onto the show to talk about the hit and misses of the Oscars red carpet. When Wendy asked Mary Alice who she thought had the best hair this is what was said:

Mary Alice: I have a feeling you’re not gonna like this but I’m gonna say Viola Davis. You know why? No wig, no weave. I like that she went au naturale.

Wendy *as she rolls her eyes*: All due respect to natural but I don’t wanna see Room 222 flashbacks on the red carpet.

Seeing that Room 222 is a 1969 TV show where Blacks would wear afros still, I’m not so sure how the naturals are going to sit with this. Personally I don’t really care, however I also would never say something like that on TV.

I wonder if she will have a response about her comment later.

Check out the video below [go to the 3 minute mark]

There really isnt much to say, because I say it all in the video. With that being said, check out my most recent wash routine.

And dont forget to sub my youtube channel!!!

“It’s just an everyday hustle, I hate to use that word hustle but that’s the reality of being an independent artist. Hustling you’re moving, there’s no rulebook, there’s no guidelines, there’s no map of how to do what you’re doing.”

I had the amazing opportunity to do a phone interview with the Seattle native KimberlyNichole, which is an interview that when from your typical question and answer to a freak the questions lets just have girl talk situation.

During the interview we talked about Kimberly being on this years 2011 Bet Awards, why she left Seattle, what she wants people to learn about her when they listen to her album ‘The Yellow Brick Journey’ and my favorite part of the interview her natural hair.

Check out the interview above.

Why she left Seattle:

“I’ve always wanted to live in NY when I was a child in Seattle, and I kind of knew after I graduated high school that I wanted to expand my horizons and relocate. I went to two different places, I went to Atlanta and went to college, and then from Atlanta I went to New York”

The message she’s putting in her debut album ‘The Yellow Brick Journey’:

“I just want them to get a personal sense of where I come from, where I’ve been, my leaving Seattle, getting on this path and perusing music. And while on the path falling in love, falling out of love, struggling; I just want people to get a feel and a sense of my journey as it’s been up to date.”

KimberlyNichole admits to being “nervous” before her 2011 BET Awards performance:

So I said I was going to do my “Confessions Of A Curly Girl” in a video form but right about now I dont see that happening so I think I will just type out my thoughts until further notice.

Now….since I hit 1 year natural, I have gotten more and more lazy with my hair. Like it’s been a good 3 weeks [maybe 2 weeks] since I got off my butt and washed my damn hair. And dont get my started on how long its been since I took the time to do a real protein treatment. Like honestly I dont know what my issue is, all I do know is that I dont feel like dealing with my hair at this point.

I think the reason I dont feel like doing my hair is because well… I’m bored with it. I have to be honest with you “newly naturals” when I say that the excitement of being natural wont last forever, well…. at least for me it didnt. I mean after a while I personally realized that its just hair, and to keep is on top of my hair and growing like I want for it to be I have to take care of it…. But that’s about it LOL.

I havent done mini twist in a good 6 months so I was shocked to see my self doing a full head of mini twist knowing good and well they take FOREVER to do.

Questions I know I will get asked sooner or later:

How long did it take:

3hrs

What did you use:

My shea butter mix

How long will you keep them in:

Maybe until Friday and then I might redo them.

Check out the pics and I will deff be back with another update if I decide to style them…

WARNING!!!! I didnt go to school for hair [like most people on the web that give hair advice] therefore any bit of advice I give will be simply from personal experience with my hair and with the hair of those that I take care of on a weekly basis. With that being said I hope this helps someone out

I always feel like doing a video is helpful, but having both the video and write up is always the best way to go. With that being said lets talk about how wearing protective styles and  how twisting my hair at night has helped me revive my damaged natural hair.

If your familiar with my youtube channel you know that back in January I had some hair “snapping” [see video here] or shall I say weakening due to the fact that my hair was lacking protein. Of course I started giving my hair protein treatments [and I still do see updated video here] but I knew that wouldn’t be enough so I stopped wearing puffs and simply kept my hair in twist. Ever since then, my hair has been on point!

More Protective Styles Less “Cute Styles”…
