STAPLE PRODUCTS: So I've been super down in the dumps, because everyone was talking about staple products and I've been spending $$$ like a crazy person trying to find what my hair likes....
Well....I finally jumped on the coconut oil bandwagon and BY GOLLY my hair LOVES it!!!! So happy that I finally found the product that makes my hair BLING-BLING...yes, I can truly see the shine AND it makes my hair super soft!

Ok...I've been shopping for that just right conditioner and I've found it. Tresemme' Naturals with coconut and jojoba oil. LADIES LADIES LADIES...I never knew what peeps meant when they spoke about good slip and such...but now I know! It works miracles for the 3 textures of hair on this head. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.
The best part is that I paid no more than $5 for like a 40 oz bottle at Target...can you say STAAAAAAAAPLE!!!!

Lastly, I have been dealing with dermatitis for ages and I'm in love with the Shea Moisture African Black Soap Shampoo for people with psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis. LOVE IT too!
So this was a long one, but I'm super excited that I have found what I've been looking for...

Pompadour Inspired Bang -w- a Puff

At my baby sister's request, I decided to do a video of my hairstyle yesterday (1/28/11).  I was trying to describe it on the phone and told her that the pics didn't come out too well. She suggested a video, so here it is!

Watch and enjoy!
