My first big trim (Salon Visit)

Hey Ladies!!


I want to start by wishing each of you a Happy Holidays!!!!!


So recently I gave up my DIY method of trimming my hair and decided it was time to get my first major trim!!!! I will admit I was nervous and real protective about my precious stands being trimmed.  After much thought I decided it was time I was ready to face my fear. I scheduled an appointment with Regis Salon. I have always been pleased with their services and skills.

Upon arriving to the salon I was very nervous I was wondering what the response would be upon entrance. To my surprise I was well recieved with smiles and warm welcomes. I met my stylist and to my surprise was a Causcasion woman. At this moment I just knew this was going to go all wrong but I believe when you are good at what you do and confident in your ability that trumps all doubt.

Her name was Nikky and She did a great job I got my hair shampooed, conditioned, blow dried and trimed. After one  year of growing my hair out natural my hair has grown beyond my shoulders and I only had to trim about inch of bad ends off.

I must admit that my hair feels great and looks even better. The down fall was that I can tell the difference just a tad in length. However I believe its better to have strong healthy beautiful hair than long dead and damaged hair any day.

I will post pics soon!!

Black men and Hair and what they have to say!!!

Hey Ladies,


About a month ago I took to my facebook to pose a question to see what the response from the men would be and today I am sharing how and what they feel about us and how hair and out physical appearance so get ready its juicy!!!!!

Mr.Walden stated :Views on Black Women and their hair: My perspective is that I prefer natural hair. One the most intimate things for me as a man is to rub my hands through my woman's hairs. When a woman has weave or extensions it takes away that realness and intimateness. I feel Black women should be proud of their hair and learn to better accept and find more ways to make their hair work to their advantage as well as image. Black woman do do that now however in the wrong way. Many times I see black woman with weave and have anywhere from 1-5 colors in their hair. And who are black women trying to please or impress by wearing weave? As of father of two young half black daughters I tell them all the time about being proud of their because they sometimes talk about how "poofy" it is and how they want it straight. Be proud of your heritage and what you, and stop being concerned with what pleases others. Natural is the way to go.


Mr.Brooks stated: In my opinion, I love to see an African-American woman with the natural look. Most black men that I associate with prefer realness. No fake hair, fake boobs, fake nails, etc. Now if the nails are not all wild, long, and loud in color, then it may be cool. I may feel this way because my father never wanted my mom or sister's wearing such things. So I guess it was instilled in me early in age. I have done some reasearch myself and found that the majority of men looks at a woman's hair first believe it or not. More men prefer long over short no matter if its natural or not. But I think what attracts a real man to a real woman is Natural Beauty. 

Mr.Baker Stated: 
  • I think the black woman is the most beautiful thing on earth! Her hair sets her apart from all other women. It can be shaped formed or fitted to match her grace. That said,green, red blond ect... takes some of that grace away.

    So the fellas have spoken ladies I hope you enjoy their feed back!!
