Repair a Bad Dye Job

Me after the blonde
was put in my hair.

A couple of months ago, I decided to go blonde in order to deal with the gray hair that I have. Bad idea!!!!!

It came out a firey orange and my edges, which are naturally lighter anyway, were really, really yellow and made me look ghostly. I also had pink highlights. My head was a mess.

I rocked my orange TWA for a couple of days....even received some compliments. But I hated it. So I set out to find a resolution on Google and learned that I could fix it myself. And, that's just what I did. Here's how.

Have you ever experienced a bad dye job? How did you fix it?

Wash N Go Style: The Side Part Teeny Weeny Afro

I woke up this morning feeling like playing with my makeup. But what's a cute face without cute hair. So, I decided to do a little wash n go style with a side part. For my wash n go, I used water, ecostyler gel argan oil and cantu shea butter leave in conditioner. After co-washing my hair, I massaged about a quarter size of leave-in conditioner into my hair. Using too much can cause hair to flake when your teeny weeny afro dries. Once the leave-in conditioner was massaged into my hair well, I added about forefinger scoop full of ecostyler. I apply it like I would lotion by sharing the scoop on both hands then distributing it into my hair. Again, I want to use just enough to make my curls pop. My hair is fine and wavy in the top, so oversaturating it with gel will weigh it down too much, resulting in flat hair in the crown area. Next, I took a rattail comb and parted in slightly. I wear my parts on the left. I applied just a smidge of ecostyler to my edges to s...

Yvonne: Rocking Her TWA and Loving It

Yvonne's Rockin' TWA Today at work, I met this nice young lady named Yvonne. Off course, she is rocking her TWA. She was kind enough to allow me to take a quick head shot of her on her way to lunch and share her TWA story with me. Thanks, Yvonne! I have been natural for about 1 year, I got so tired of the chemicals, allergic reactions, and my hair growing a certain length and falling out. So when I went natural, I didn’t do a big chop. I had just taken braids out of my hair and was dissatisfied with my own hair, so I went to the barber and took it from there. I am definitely going to keep my hair this length, not only is it a blessing on time, but I think it gives a woman’s face definition. I always say, any woman can wear long hair, but not every woman can rock short hair!!!! I am originally from Flint, MI and short hair was always a favorite in the Midwest. . .especially during the fall, your hair is a part of your wardrobe, you dress aroun...
