BOX BRAIDS...THE LOVE FOR THEM

The longest that I have left my hair alone was when I had box braids in. I actually left them in for a total of three weeks. For some reason, I have an issue with leaving my hair alone, so for me to leave it alone, I decided to braid my hair up for a while. My goal is to leave this in for at least a month and a half.

For the next month, I am going to do my best to stay on schedule.

Sundays/Tuesdays/Thursdays: Oil Scalp with homemade oil

Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays: Massage scalp for at least five minutes, wrap hair up, moisturize braids

Saturdays: Wash hair

As for a daily routine, I will remain taking Biotin vitamins and see where that gets me. Thus far it has been great. My hair is growing in thick, and quick. I will update you on the growth later this week. A pic that I had taken before I put the braids in.

In case you are curious, her are some pics of the braids I did. It only took me four hours with breaks in between. (Don't mind the last few pics, I was fresh out the shower and no make-up on hehe!)

HAIR OF THE DAY: BROOKE BAILEY

For those of you wondering if this is all of Brooke Bailey's hair.....I can let all of the inquiring minds know that YES, this is indeed her real hair, and not only is this her real hair, she is also natural. She was asked on twitter if she perms or presses her hair out with a hot comb. She had responded by saying @brookebaileyinc LOL ... I don't perm or press my hair. In this pic I washed it and let it air dry. It seems as if she always had beautiful hair. Her hair is absolutely gorgeous and looks very healthy. Her natural haircare line (in which she uses for her hair) will be launched shortly. I guess I may have to give it a try. Considering how shiny her hair looks, it can't be that bad.

COMEDIAN, EDDIE MURPHY HAS NINE CHILDREN

One of my favorite comedians is Eddie Murphy, but did you know that Eddie Murphy is more than just a comedian, he's a father of nine. Did you hear that, NINE children with five different women, five of nine children are with ex-wife, the super-beautiful, Nicole Mitchell-Murphy. Eddie makes beautiful offspring nonetheless. Eddie has three sons: Eric Murphy, Christian Murphy, and Myles Murphy. And six daughters: Bria Murphy, Shayne Murphy, Zola Murphy, Bella Murphy, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, and Izzy Murphy. Paulette Murphy Eric Murphy Eric Murphy is the son with Paulette McNeely. There aren't any pictures of Paulette or none taken with Eddie so that is a mystery in itself BUT I happen to stumble upon her picture and her work place from a source close to Eddie. Paulette works as a Medical Aesthetician & Body Contouring Expert. ________________________________ Christian Murphy is the son with Tamara Hood. It was said that Tamara Hood was to be cast in VH1's ...

SURPRISE TOPIC: Health Hazards of Hair Extensions

(Article by Lisa Stark from ABCNews) It was blinding headaches that sent the 46-year-old New Yorker running to her doctor. Alarmed, her physician did blood work and ordered an expensive MRI of the brain, as well as another kind of brain scan. Everything checked out as normal. There was no apparent explanation for the sudden pounding in the patient's head, a pounding that was not eased by medications. Stumped, the doctor sent her to a neurologist, Dr. Orly Avitzur of Terrytown, N.Y., who finally unraveled the mystery. "When I went to examine her and simply touched her scalp, she pulled away and winced when my fingertips touched her quite gently," Avitzur said, describing the unnamed patient, a social worker. Avitzur took a closer look and noticed something unusual. "She had hundreds of these tightly braided hair braids," she said. It turns out the woman was suffering not from a neurological condition, but from a side effect of her new hair extensio...
