Growth and Length Retention Gurus

Here are a few that (in my opinion) offer some great advice that has helped me on my journey:

kimmaytube

LeobodyC5

Glamazini

Keep It Simple Sista

CurlyNikki

What I like about these bloggers/vloggers is that they have pretty simple regimens and they have retained a head full of healthy length. Following the advice and guidance of these individuals has taken me from shoulder length to almost BSL. I am convinced these ladies know what they are doing because my hair's current length is the longest that it has ever been.

I don't really listen to secular music and when I do happen to catch a song on the radio every now and again....they all sound the same - makes me feel like I am not missing a thing.

However, I know that there are still creative artists out there and I admire their talent and respect their art. Here is a video from one of my friends that is making music that says something. Check him out, subscribe, comment, rate the vids, and share..

Gratuitous Plug: A Woman's Perspective

Wear it Proud

So you don’t like me because of my hair

It is not a statement,

Trend,

Or, some self-righteous movement

This is who I am and who I will always be.

Let’s take a walk

Down memory lane

If it wasn’t for

Something called press ‘n combs and relaxers

We wouldn’t have anything to change

This is who I am and who I will always be.

Don’t try to hold me down

Because you don’t understand

What it means

Being a NATURAL black woman

This is who I am and who I will always be.

I wear it proud

and with my head held high

No longer will I choose to fit in your mold

Of how you feel

I should look

Or

Even wear my hair

This is who I am and who I will always be.

Why must I cover

How I was made into this world

My hair is a gift,

A gem,

And my one and only pearl

This is who I am and who I will always be.

My hair is my stamp

The one and only imprint

I have to be who I really am

It’s time to set my own mold

And break down the box

That has been set by you

And everyone else after you

You can try anything

To get to revert back,

But,

I love my NATURAL black hair

Because that’s what makes me BLACK!

Non-hair related post

A while back I would able to enjoy the most delicious desserts I have ever had (and I love food) compliments of Dupointe Lifestyle Group. This company was founded and operated by two determined men that have a love for food that tastes good. I urge you to contact them to cater your next event. The food was absolutely fabulous and I am not exaggerating.

The funniest thing that happens is once someone starts eating one of infamous Dupointe Dozens cupcakes, the person gets completely quiet and does not move or say a word until the food is gone....yep it is just that good. Happens every time.
