Brushing or Combing?

 Okay, this post is kind of cooperative. I will write a few positive and negative things about both and you can write which side you're on. Let's start with brushing. Eventhough it is not as thorough as combing, it does not hurt as much, especially when you use a tangle teezer or a denman brush. However, a brush leads to much more hair loss and cannot detangle knots as good as a comb.
 A comb is a very thorough instrument and takes out almost all knots. On the other hand, it hurts like hell if not done properly. So now it's your turn. Tell which one you think is better or if you are convinced of both being the same. 

P.S.: Happy New Year to everybody reading this.

Natural Disaster

12-year-old Vanessa Van Dyke is facing possible expulsion from Faith Christian Academy in Orlando, Florida because of the way she wears her natural hair. As reported by WKMG Local 6, the African American student said she was given one week to cut and reshape her hair or get kicked out of the school because administrators felt it violated the dress code and was a “distraction.”

-from Yahoo odd news

 Honestly, I think that it is really stupid what the school is forcing her to do. In the dress code, there are examples given to what a DISTRACTION would be. They mention things like mohawks and cornrows. All of these are hairstyles, but now they want to expel Vanessa because she did NOT do anything to her hair, because she did not cut, straighten or relax it. This is just inappropriate! I can not express how upset I am. If you have seen her hair, you would probably agree that she is a natural beauty and that nobody should be allowed to force her into giving up her natural hair.

Travelling

  Personally, I really like travelling. But it has started getting harder to travel with my hair. This is because most of my favourite products are not available in travel sizes, so I have to minimize the amount of hair products used. Also, sometimes I am just too lazy to do anything with my hair and that will make detangling on the next day just soo much harder! I have spent a very long time looking for a good product, and have come up with a solution everyone can buy: oil. It works perfectly and if you can not find a coconut or argan oil, olive oil helps just as much. When you have gotten the oil, all you need to do is fill it into a travel sized container that will not spill. You can buy these or just clean out an old one of your one. Have a great trip!

That is what I should do to my friends!

Can I touch your hair?

    We all know this question and it is often followed by statements like 'OMG! It is sooo fluffy!', or 'How can you comb it/ Do you comb your hair?' So if you are reading it and have said something similar to someone with natural hair, you should know that it is annoying!!! Maybe it would be okay if someone touches your hair once or twice, but if every single person you meet 'greets' you like this, it honestly gets nerve-wrecking.
         I understand if you have never seen hair like this and would like to know how it feels, which is totally okay. However, if you think about it, it might be infuriating for others.

Hair Types

  4a,4b,4c...actually, I never really understood all these hair types, as I could never find mine. Right now, I think I'm somewhere between b and c. However, I do not think that I can really say that I am one type because my hair always changes. So I have decided to write about it, starting from today.

  For everyone who has got no idea what the heck I am talking about, I have natural black hair, very frizzy and curly, that feels like a big sponge. Living with hair like this is quite hard because you always need to take care of it. If you now think that you have heard that thousands of times on other blogs, you right. However, unlike the blogs I've read, I shall also be writing about the good sides of natural hair.
