Natural Hair Diaries: Carol's Daughter New Spokeswomen

Carol's Daughter has chosen Selita Ebanks, Solange Knowles, and Cassie (Casandra Ventura) as there new spokeswomen.  Interesting choices!! I'm sure they will be wonderful.

The jokes are alive and well on social networks regarding the spokeswomen being Kanye's "almost" boo, Bey's lil sis (ie. don't give Bey the job she needs to give Jay some kids) and Diddy's "boo".  Well I'm sure that doesn't phase these ladies.  Ironically enough, I have a post coming on Cassie in the next few days.  Do your thing ladies!

Natural Hair Diaries: Tangle Teezer

Review: Tangle Teezer

So after the same long drawn out hunt everyone else has had, I finally got my hands on the "elusive" Tangle Teezer. The Sally Beauty Supply closest to me finally got in a shipment but the wench (excuse me calling her that but she answered the phone like i was calling her cell phone late at night while she was with her man) told me they didnt come in. I forgot to call the next day but when I finally did, the sweet lady who answered said "we sold the last one yesterday". So of course this was me.

Something told me: "Self...call the Sally's by where you used to stay...you know the one with the heavy hispanic population.....yea...." So I call them.  "Hello, Do you have the Tangle Teezer" lady: "yes" me: "how many?" her: "About 3 boxes"

I hit the tangle teezer lottery.

Anyway, I was anxious to try it.  I loved my denman brush and was excited because I heard the TT cut detangling time drastically.  Plus its ergonomic and I have repetitive stress injuries in my wrists so ergonomic is the way to go for me.

So I use it! I love it.  I detangled my hair so quickly I cant even tell yall how long it was.  It was likely 2 minutes.  I had previously done a bentonite clay treatment (blog on that coming next) and then I had been DC'ing for about 2 hours.  I decided it was time to detangle and boy was it a breeze.  It wasn't hard for me to hold at all.  It takes getting used to but as long as you hold it correctly its made perfectly for your hand.  I mean, when i had conditioner all over me it did slip out of my hand once...but my denman does also.

Overall, I loved it.  I rinsed my hair today to refresh my curls and ran the TT thru it to detangle.  Again...quick and got the job done.

OH OH OH....also...I had minimal hair that came out in the TT compared to when I use my denman.  However, I will say that could be due to the bentonite clay treatment I just did but I will keep an eye on that and update.

Natural Hair Diaries: Jergens irresponsible advertising

So I was hanging out with my roommate and her Lil sister last night at our apartment.  We had just gone grocery shopping for our post Thanksgiving Dinner.  At the store, Lil Sister decides to buy the latest O magazine in order to attempt to win some of Oprah's Favorite things.....yes lawd.

However, we get home and she's shocked by an advertisement for Jergens inside.  She's transitioning and I'm natural.  I'm pissed off when I see it.  Essentially the add is calling our natural hair ROUGH and less than elegant.  Check it out.  I took a picture immediately (sorry for the quality).

Not only do I think this is irresponsible advertising on Jergens part but I thought Oprah had a better grasp on what was put into her magazine.  When the ideal of natural beauty is being questioned daily by little black girls, one would hope that women of influence would at least try to see to this a little better.  Why is her sleek (photo shopped when you look closely) hair so radiant and her natural coils are ROUGH.  That makes me sick.  There had to be someone who approved this for Oprah that should know that something is wrong here.  Also...who at Jergens thought that this was fine and acceptable.  I definitely wont catch myself using Jergens.  I'll take my rough hair and skin over using that mess.  SORRY!!
