The Hairess Diaries: My Not-So-Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Image courtesy of Amazon.com

Yo Diary,

Mama recently experienced a chemical treatment of the relaxer persuasion.

I won't go into the details, but I will tell you the result: strands...and...strands...and strands...of hair in my hands. And on the floor. Trauma.

Considering I've had a relaxer since the the heyday of PCJ, this certainly isn't the first time my strands have been damaged. But my goodness, it's not fun to be here again. So yeah, I've come to the final stage of mane mourning: acceptance. The obvious solution would be to cut it, but gah, I always do that.

Before I resort to the "take-off-as-much-as-you-need-to-I-don't-care" chop, I'll give Redken Extreme Strength Builder Plus (~$20) a go. Since you are all-knowing, hair diary, I won't tell you that protein is super important for distressed hair--like ahem, over-processed relaxed hair; it strengthens weak manes and has restorative powers.

Oh yes, I just said "powers". Anything that can possibly stop the kind of shedding my joint is doing, is in fact, magical. Say a prayer for me, hair diary. Me thinks, I'll need it.

I totally remember watching this PCJ commercial. You?

The Hairess Diaries: Cathy #7 "A Change Will Do Me Good"

Are you there, Hair Diary?  It's me Cat.

It's been one of those weeks and I need to talk it out.  It's been the kind of week where I throw away hard-earned cash on a Mega Millions ticket and dream of buying a private island with my winnings.  I want to sell my worldly possessions, take my job, shove it, and drive Thelma and Louise-style over a cliff.  I want to burn my bra and join a commune founded on the tenets of free love and good food.

Because, I'm not that open to change, I decided the biggest switch I could make was...my shampoo and conditioner.  My hair looks as limp and lifeless as I feel.  I turned to Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo and Conditioner.  They give your hair silkiness and shine without weighing it down.  And the conditioner is silicone-free, which I know will make the TOG readers happy!

Until I can understand what the universe is telling me (I'm deaf and it whispers), I'll keep on keepin' on.  At least my hair will have some life to it.

This Goes Out to All My Creamy Crack Chicks: 2009 Roundup


Wella Power Mask
My name is S Breezy's hair and I am a creamy crack addict. Yup, my hair is in follicle rehab for creamy crack abuse. I will explain more once it makes it through its 12-step program. You just back off, natural-hair girls, it's just a hiatus. My hair will be back: fried, dyed, and laid to the side. Until then, I'm dedicating this to my fellow creamy crackheads out there.
It is possible to have healthy, chemically treated hair. Here are a few of my favorite products: 

Wella Power Mask ($58) is super hydrating and it's made to soften the most coarse and moisturize the most dehydrated hair.

Dry, prickly ends in need of a trim? Look no further than Avon Advance Techniques Dry Ends Serum ($5) to keep 'em looking fresh. I know I mentioned this earlier, but I love it, and heck it's the 2009 roundup, right?

Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave-In
Truth be told, Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave-In Conditioner ($11.50) is also great for natural girls. It leaves your hair really soft...and yummy-smelling.

Well you guys, I'll see you in 2010...Happy New Year!

Remember "Muppets Take Manhattan" when Miss Piggy came face-to-face (snout to nose?) with Joan Rivers in the cosmetics department? The excitement the two felt at the very sight of the powder puff, lipstick, and eyeliner. Well that's exactly how excited I am to do my first giveaway!

What: The winner chooses between full size products from Aveeno's NEW Nourish & Moisturize collection and  the cutest set of John Frieda Root Awakening products.

When: Right Now.

Where: Right Here.

Why: Because well, they're FREE beauty products...why ask why?

How: Email the answer to the question below to shaunequa@templeofglam.com to win! I'll randomly select and announce the winner on Monday. Easy peasy, right? Good Luck!

Here's the Question:
In an earlier post, "Expatriate Beauty: Bananas, Feathers, Whips & Shackles" I mentioned one of my beauty icons. The product I wrote about was named after her. What's this icon's full (correctly spelled) name?

Ask Breezy (Anonymously)!
