Are All Alcohols Bad For Our Hair??

(I promised you guys this Post a few months back so I kept my word even though it took awhile... here it is!)

As a newbie in starting a Healthy Hair Journey (HHJ) we sometimes become paranoid on what products to use especially products that have alcohol in them. I know when I started I felt all products that had ANY type of alcohol in them were bad, but the question is...Are ALL alcohols bad for our hair?? Well let's first talk a little about the structure of alcohols, the molecular structure of alcohol has a non polar carbon chain and a polar hydroxyl group connected to one of the carbon atoms in the chain. The alcohol's results and it's properties differ depending on the number of carbon atoms it has, even the molecular structure can make a difference as well. In hair care products there are two major alcohols used: 

1) Short Chain Alcohols (Drying Alcohols) and 2) Fatty Acids (Emulsifying Alcohols) 

Finally...I Got Giovanni!!

I've been searching everywhere for these "Giovanni" products especially the "Smooth As Silk Conditioner" but couldn't find it. I even went to Walmart, and ya know Walmart has everything but they didn't even have it. So I decided, as my last resort, to buy it online and good thing I did because on Amazon.com they are having a big sale on all products so

Cornrolls-Braid Out

(Click Pic For A Closer Look)

I took out my cornrolls and got this look. For some reason I like it, the way my hair look like kinda crimped up which I thought was cool so I had to take a picture and show ya'll. Braid outs are the way to go if you don't feel like doing too much with your hair!

Peppermint Oil

I received in the mail some peppermint oil that I had ordered so I can use it for my edges to help growth. I posted awhile back a video by Akiyakelly "How To Get Your Edges To Grow Back" and one of the ingredients she used was "Peppermint Oil". So I figured I can add that to my oil mixture and work on my edges. It's smells really nice and minty which add a nice kick to it while helping my edges to grow back. I will keep ya'll updated on it's progress while using this peppermint oil. Anyone ever tried peppermint oil?

Inspired Fall Look: Fab Fringe Caramel

So for September I have found a new style I will wear for the fall and it's a little inspired by T-boz from TLC look. I wanted to do a short dube with a more sophisticated look to it. Remember in a few years I will be 30 so I need to mature my style from time to time, and the short hairstyles do make me look a little more mature. So I'm doing a protective style for the winter so my hair can rest and my edges can grow back, so its needed. Let me know what ya'll think HOT or NOT?

Extension Clips

Very easy to do I have them in my hair right now, which I made last year but it always comes in handy. If you want to add length, add more fullness, or even highlights in your hair without having a sew-in or having to color your own hair then this would be helpful to do.
