Huetiful hair steamer

Hey chicas! I just purchased the huetiful hair steamer. I am chomping at the bit to try it. If you are not familar with this product here's the deets:

1. it restores moisture 5x better than conditioner alone
2. stengthens hair by replenishing moisture lost to keratin treatments, relaxers or heat straightening
3. it significantly reduces breakage and split ends caused by dry hair while improving manageability
4. easily converts into a spa facial steamer.

The one I purchased came with the hair and face steamer and manual. I purchased it for $120.  This price also includes the headband which I will receive next week. I purchased it here in St. Thomas at New Horizon clothing store in Frenchtown. They just sold out so I will be giving a product review tomorrow on how it worked for me.

I heard about this product a few months ago after watching countless videos but kept forgetting to purchase it. Based upon the youtube videos, this product really works.  My has been quite tangled lately so it certainly needs a reprieve from the fight with the detangling comb.

For more details on the product until my product review coming up tomorrow, check out the company website: www.behuetiful.com.

Hair Envy

I have been on my natural hair journey for four years.  In that time, I have spoken to many naturals regarding hair care. Some naturals engage in negative speak when they feel that their texture does match those with enviable curls. I am not referring to having a hair idol. I am referring to when people say they can't acheive a certain look because of their texture or because they don't have "good hair."  I see it as a crutch that prevents people from trying to look their best because I have seen people with various textures acheive great looks. From a curly fro to a wash 'n go, knowing how to care for the hair you were born with and taking the time to do so, makes a difference. I feel like we are regressing to the days of the light-skinned/dark-skinned debate. Bre from America's Next Top Model demonstrated that you don't need to be "red" to have long healthy hair. She ultimately chopped her tresses to show that she was more than just her hair and her curls are popping.



Anywho, we all have different textures and even different textures on the same head.   Just yesterday someone asked me "is that your breed?" when referring to my hair. I was perplexed.  He wanted to know if my hair looked the way that it does because of genetics. I said yes and Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic didn't hurt.



I tend to shy away from putting myself in the category of women with "good hair" when it is defined only by the texture people see. That doesn't stop people from trying to put me in that box. If I had a dollar for every time someone knocked themselves down by saying they have Kunta Kente hair, I would have paid off my student loans. The debate regarding so called "good hair" will rage on. Whether your hair is long or short, kinky or curly, embrace your curls. Good hair should be synonomous with healthy hair.

Do you speak negatively about your hair because of hair envy?
