Thank you.

SN: What color is the lipstick you are wearing in the BKO pictures? I like it a lot.

Thank you. I don't know the color. I am not good with buying current makeup. I have had that lipstick for like 10 yrs now....I KNOW, I KNOW YUCK . But I only put on makeup on sundays and special events (ex: weddings)!!! I know, I need to get a fresh stash for hygenic purposes........... . But I can tell you it is from MAC.

HEY CURLFRIENDS***WAVING BACK******

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE,

I feel I have been away much too long because I skipped a week in my updates. My grandma is not doing well. She is 85 yrs old. But it is not really her that stresses me, it's her 5 children. My mother is the only one that is willing to take her in as a hospice patient for her last days but the other 4 children want to put her in a nursing home (go figure). I am so annoyed by this because she in the hospital basically rolling slowly down hill. Mind you, my mom was talking care of her for 5 months then went away for 5 days on a much need pre-planned vaca. So the oldest sister was in charge and of course my grandmother ended up in the hosptial for dehydration. My mom is so hurt and it hurts me. Some other things are going on with this situation too but I will not dare type all that on a hair blog.

SO ON TO THE HAIR:

Destiny has been really making me feel unique, sexy, and funky. My husband likes every style now and even loves some others. Even the big fro I get when I detangle with oil on a preepoo session. When I come to bed he is not like "can you cover that up". Instead he says, "I like it." I can just feel the next words will be "oh that is sexy".............. ONE DAY....................

Anyway, last week I was suppose to do a rod set, but the hair just would not lay down to roll on the rod. I believe I will have to use rollers to get the hair to lay down (going to leave this style for the fall/winter season). So I did a twist n curl with the rods instead. I had done this style during transitioning and right after I BCed and loved it. Now that she has grown it looked so much better. I loved it even more and so did hubby.

I have also been rockin the wash n go high pony puff. I really love it. I look too young though . But it is fast, convient, and super cute and hubby likes it.
This weekend I did a double strand flat twist set going from front to back then unraveled and added a headband. I though it was cute and hubby liked it.
Last week I did a maka/brahmi tx. The products I have been using are: Giovanni tea tree condish or Suave coconut condish for my scalp in the cowash and either the smooth n shine condish or repure organic condish with whatever oil. For the twists, I have been using koils by nature butters, my girlfriend's mango butter or oyin butter (I forgot the name of it) on top of the giovanni leave in.
I will be doing wash n go styles this week with side pony puffs, bangs and straight on head ponypuff.

For this week, I am thinking about a bentonite clay treatment to clarify and make those curls pop. Then next friday a much needed henna tx. We will see...........................

Ok ladies, I have to run but I will be checking you gals out tonight. PICS TO FOLLOW.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY, DOLLS!!!!!

Good Morning IB,

I'm really sorry to hear about your Grandma. I hope all works out for her and the Lord give your mother the strength to do what she has to do for her Mom. Grandmom needs to be surrounded by family and love right now. I'm praying you and your family.

We all have family like this and they be the loudest boo-hooing at the funeral.

On the hair note - Destiny is looking really good. Don't you just love Natural hair. My hair is getting really thick and it grows up and out ... not down. Pony puffs are the best, super easy.

Take care and be blessed.

hey IB!! glad to see u took time out to say heeeey! sorry to hear about ur grandma. i thought MY peeps was messed up . i always wondered why my mom didnt mess wit her brother n sisters too tough til she told me all the sheisty stuff they did to my grandma when they were younger i.e. lied n said my grandma was an unfit mother cuz they thought they were grown n could be on their own AND my mom's younger sister was handlin the books for my grandmas house n come to find out while she was rollin in a landrover, the mortgage wasnt gettin paid

but u know what...i truly believe in karma and this battles not urs, its the lords becuz all of my grandma's kids who did her dirty aint shyt (excuse my french). my aunt wit the landrover got into a bad car accident where she's had numerous back surgeries and my raggedy azz uncle is...i have no idea but clearly nothing good came out of his life!

so hang in there becuz yall will truly be awarded with an abundance of blessings when u treat people right.

on to destiny!! cant wait to see pics. im lovin the simplicity of doing absolutely NOTHING much to it this summer. my next venture is to totally jump in the pool next wknd...becuz I CAN

Sorry to hear you are going through those family issues IB. Ditto to what Nubie & BBD said. My thoughts are with you and yours. Take care sis.

I love that your hubby is on board with all of your hairstyles. The "oh that's sexy" is coming...just wait

Thank you BBD. I know you are correct in the loudest cry at the funeral. Lord, help me to restrain myself, when the time comes, from going clear across the room to slap them .................

HAIR NOTE:
I LOVE BEING NATURAL!!!!!! IT IS AWESOME!!!!
My hair doesn't seem to be getting thicker though. Actually the top doesn't seem to give as much volume as the back and sides. So I spend alot time fluffing it up on twist outs . It looks like my front will probably hang more than my back as it gets longer.
