Today I was partied to a discussion regarding women and whether or not they dress for the admiration of men, the acceptance or envy of other women or themselves...the consensus was pretty much evenly distributed in most areas meaning that most women when asked picked one of these answers as their motivation to look good. I was deeply disturbed at the amount of women who said they dress solely based upon the opinions of others. This natural process has taught me that everyone is a critic, ourselves being the worst. It is easier and in my opinion healthier mentally to develop a close intimate relationship with oneself, IE learn your likes and dislikes...make yourself smile...see your own beauty, I mean really see your own beauty, treat yourself, spoil yourself, love on yourself, commit to changing the things you don't like about your self....it is only after these things have been done that we can truly enjoy and contribute unselfishly to a relationship with someone else.

You Sho Is Ugly

Well well well. In previous entries I have been critical about my brothas perception of good hair. Why? See on Friday I was told by an old friend who happens to be a black man to get a relaxer. Also the previous Sunday I was asked when I was gonna straighten it or "Do something else" with my mane. These are just a few examples of the straight up rude comments that have come from men, men I know specifically about the quality of my hair.

Well Saturday, I finally got a compliment from a brotha I didn't know. Well it wasn't like a compliment per say, maybe just a solicitation? As I waited outside my car for my take out order to finish, two young men walked past and said used juvenile methods to gain my attention. Although I didn't reciprocate interest, I took notice that it was the 1st time in a WHILE someone on the street tried to holla!

Although I am reading into something so random, and potentially and irrelevant, I can say that what is usually annoyance, was actually appreciated. I have had to not take my brothas comments to heart as it relates to my hair, because it honestly hurts to hear the way they percieve it. So to the 2 boys that was tryna get on, THANK YOU. You made me feel like all black men didn't find my hair repulsive, (even if that wasn't your intention.

OVERRATED

It's been a minute since the last entry and I apologize for that. So to make up for it, I've got a gang of hatin, oops I mean critiquing to do.

So back in July when my hair was getting its arse kicked by the humidity I decided to embrace my kinkiness. In doing so I accepted product suggestions and Carols Daughter seemed to arise various times so I did my research and then made a business decision, which essentially became an expensive endeavor.
See, I'm cheap. I like to think its because I consider myself impoverished but the fact of the matter is I'm just bogus. So best believe when I found myself out the cash register droppin 21$ on 8oz of hair product, I was thinkin this product pull some Jesus miracles and fall just short of turnin water into wine.At least let it give my mane a little bit of luster. Man did Carol fail me miserably.

First I attempted to utilize the hair butter and after having mixed results from the Kizzy pommade, I put the CD on the shelf. But, thanks to my mentor Dr. Natural I got to complete my experiment with this heavily praised product when she lent me her Hair Milk and leave in conditioner. I just knew I was about to get my Jada Pinkett-Smith on!

After washing, buttering, and milking, the moment of the truth arrived. SADLY,
the only aesthetic difference was the noticeable fragrance of my hair, and that got old quickly.

Overall, ladies it could be my hair type but the Carol's Daughter I used thus far was less than mediocre.

Using the No-Lye Product Rating scale I'd like to give the Caroll's Daughter Hair Milk, Hair Butter, and Leave in Conditioner the following:

2 Wide Toof Combs = I'd only cop it if it was free. CD isn't the worse, but considering its price and praise, its far from the best.


Price: Hair Milk 4oz $12 Healthy Hair Butter 4oz 10.50 Kizzi Stay Put Pomade 9.50
Location: Sephora/ Online


If your opinions differ, let me know, cuz my soul and my 5/3rd card are still disappointed thanks to Carol's fam.

On to the next one!
