Gray and FIERCE!
 

As someone who started getting gray (white) hairs in my early 20s (and now has more and more random strands popping up every day) I get, no, I FEEL, the need to get rid of the gray madness. Gray/white hair? I just CANNOT.

It's a constant reminder of getting older, every time you look in the mirror. In my case, it's genetic. My mom has a halo of gray hair around her edges. And my grandmother had a head full of the white stuff. And guess what? So do I and, at nearly 40, there's nothing I can do about it, less a box of Mehendi (black) henna or a black rinse kit to cover it up.

But now comes news that, like everything else in our society, there's a pill for that, too. Go Away Gray is a pill that promises to get rid of gray hair, made by Rise-N-Shine LLC.

Jay Z and Beyonce's visit to Cuba for the couple's 5th anniversary made international headlines, but let's talk about what got my attention -- what Bey was wearing!

I loved the tribal print outfit and the braided topknot. Simple but cute!





Jay and Beyonce. Love those glasses.

Like this look, too. Is it a romper?

Vacay in Fla

Gotta live Florida's humidity. This was my hair at our hotel in Boca Raton. Did a flat twist with 3 Sisters of Nature Curly pudding (a review of my new fave product is coming soon).

Looked all cute and stuff. I was feeling my hur.

 

 

And then this happened when I went to the beach:

Long Hair, Don't Care?

Cipriana of Urban Bush Babes

Long Hair, Don't Care is a common saying in the natural hair community.

But I think many of us do care, especially when you consider how much time and energy it takes to successfully manage long hair. Sure, certain natural hair bloggers famously manage long manes of hair, like Cipriana or Sera, for example. And much respect to them.

But can I tell you that they have marathon washing and detangling sessions. I look at my own hair and realize how much more tangled it gets now as compared to 3-4 years ago, when I had nary a tangle.

Scandal Parody Video by Chescaleigh

Everybody at home knows: Be quiet and don't mess with me when Scandal comes on ABC Thursday nights at 10 p.m. EST. I am down for Olivia Pope (played by actress Kerry Washington), and I love seeing positive images of a strong, powerful Black woman running thangs in Washington, D.C. This, despite the shade and negative stereotype-filled images of Black women in Hollywood throws our way.

I am a #ScandalFan. So count me as amused when I saw this Scandal-inspired YouTube parody by Chescaleigh. Hilarious! Chescaleigh captures Olivia perfectly, along with Harrison, played by actor Columbus Short, as they manage a makeup crisis in ScandalABC: A Scandalous Tutorial video.

Chescaleigh captured Oliva perfectly, down to her lip quivers, eye twitches and facial expressions.
