Stevie Wonder and the braid chop heard 'round the world, well, maybe not
The Internet is a mofo.
No sooner than we thought Stevie had cut that struggle ponytail of his (I know), now we find out that it's not true. Listen. Cut Stevie a lil' slack. I mean. He is blind and all. Now don't get me wrong. I gave a handclap of praise when I thought he did a braid chop. Just because. I did a slow clap.
I mean, I do not know who is stylist is ... just sayin'. And I know it's hard to let go. We big chop all the time and will hold on to raggedy split ends for dear life. I get it. But Stevie, tho! He's blind. Someone needs to tell him.We owe a debt of hair gratitude to the musical genius who created 'Songs In the Keys of Life.'
We can't let him go out like that. Still, I'm mad that we got fooled us big time. I do not like folks playing with my feelings. These memes ain't loyal. Stevie ain't cut ish. That domed struggle braid is still there.
Does Stevie have no friends? He can't. Can your kids or your boo not tell you gently ... It is time to let the braid locs go? I mean. Love Stevie and all. Love him. But nawl. Them braids -- and that bald spot -- are still there. Carry on. Stand down, Internet. Damn, you.

Celebrating your doggie on National Dog Day
Today is National Dog Day -- and what better day than to celebrate the special pooch in your life!
Our dog, Teddy, is a rescue Shih Poo that we've had for five years. Love him to death - him and his crazy shenanigans.

Bree Newsome is my shero and my hair crush
Bree Newsome is my shero and such ... But umm ... can we just talk about Bree's hair for a minute, tho!!! I'm ALL up in my feelings about it.
She was so brave to scale that flag pole and yank that racist flag down in South Carolina. And I agree with every word she said below. But ummm ... can we go back to her hair, tho! Dope. Straight fi-ya! It gave me LIFE!
Did she blow it out? Twist it out? What kind of products did she use?

Hair foolishness
There are days when I just cannot even can ... and this is one of those days, after I heard that Urban Outfitters is selling a single ponytail holder for $8. Really, doe? But $8 tho for one hair ball? I am DONE. Done, I tell you.
You need your ass whopped if you even think about buying this foolishness. Just because you can does not mean you should. Or maybe the person who actually pays $8 for ONE should be hit dead in the face with said ponytail holder. Have you ever been smacked in the face with one of these? Chile, you have not felt pain .... And please don't step on one.... Owww, wee!
I'm a little mad right now. Because do you know how many ponytail hair balls I could have for $8 -- like a whole can full, because these mugs are like $1 for a pack of 10 ponytail holders at ANY beauty supply store USA or Wal Mart. I hate spending money all willy nilly.
Black girls been wearing these things forever
I mean, it's cute that the retro thing and all is coming back or is 'new' for some. But it ain't new for everybody. Really, Urban Outfitters? Every Black little girl I know of has worn these things at some point in her life.
Like all'em. And believe me when I tell you these hair balls are the bane of every little Black girl's existence. Once your Momma finally agrees to let you STOP wearing them, there is no way this side of Ultra Sheen that you will WILLINGLY purchase them ever again. No, nope and nawl!
No damn body wants to see these things again -- In life - ever, Amen. I will roll up a scrunchie from the good old 90s, cut a pair of old panty hose at the top or even use a rubber band from the Sunday newspaper before I use one of those things to tie back my hair as a grown adult.
To this day, my hair STILL has permanent parts in it from all of the balls I used to wear in my head, LOL. No ma'am! Nawl, nope, NO!
Bye, Urban Outfitters!
This is so funny it's not. But I do now that a sucka is born every damn minute. I just love it when mainstream retailers discover something is hot. But we been wearing this ish for like EVER! And it's clearly something that some folks will wear and spend their hard earned earned money, too.
Just like those 'new Bantu knots' (big ass eye roll) that were renamed 'mini buns' as part of Marc Jacobs runway show. Yeah, OK. Miss me with that.
Of course, this has spawned lots of other memes. Watch the foolishness. I mean. Since they are paying $8 for hair balls and ish, might as well pony up some more cash for the rest of the hair accoutrements, right?

Detroit curls, what!
Oh, Detroit! How my curls have missed thee!
What up, doe! Here in Detroit for about a week visiting relatives. And I must say my damn self that my curls are poppin'. No more hot ass ATL -- at least for a week, anyway, LOL. The curl struggle in the ATL is real.
My curls love the cooler weather and lower humidity in Michigan (no more fried hair from the hot ATL sun).
My curls forgot that it liked Detroit's cool, mild summers. It's been nearly three years since I've been here. Beyond the heat damage (I'm still too traumatized to blog about it, but it took me 20 years as a natural to get heat damage from a stylist over the winter), my curls are getting some 313 love and are hanging pretty chill right about now.

That fro, tho!
I am a huge Stevie Wonder fan. Did you see the tribute yesterday on BET? I did not! Boo!!! I was picking up my teenagers from work and missed it (hopefully, there will be a repeat).
But this photo gave me life this morning!!! I miss Michael Jackson and that fro.

On vacay in the Bahamas
Spent almost a week luxuriating on a cruise in the Bahamas for my 40th birthday. And I had not one natural hair worry in the world. I had my hair pressed about a month ago and was too damn lazy to do anything to it. Plus it rained in Nassau, and I was in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
So I wore a fedora and a top knot. And that was that!

Don't you just love this?
I love this vintage-y picture with these little girls rocking their natural hair, cute little kid dresses (read: not grown woman attire disguised for little girls) and the saddle shoes and bobby socks. I just love that we are, fingers crossed, finally at a point where little girls can grow up to love and appreciate the natural hair that comes from their heads.

Took a vacay, celebrated my 19th wedding anniversary, chilled out on the beach.
But I miss my HairNistas. So back to writing about amazing natural hair, k?
