The Obsession

Can you spend an hour or more in beauty supply stores?  Do you have multiple subscriptions to or can't help but pick up the latest hair magazine?  Is your 'under the sink' storage area so full that you have a special product area for your impulse purchases?  It's offiicial - you're obsessed.

The Attitude

All Tressed Up is more than the name of a website, it's an attitude.  Ask anyone - when you look good you do for the most part, feel good.  This website gives the everyday woman and/or man the opportunity to share just how wonderful you are!  Are you All Tressed Up today?

Straight hair don't care: The curls win

E-mail Print PDF

So, I straightened my hair and realized that it was a hot mess!  What I mean by this is that my ends were horrible!  I come to you sadly admitting that I had not clipped my ends in roughly two years!  Wow!  Yes, that is horrible!

Realizing just how inconsiderate I had been to my hair, I had to call on my girl J. Weaver to trim my ends.  I do not trim my own ends.  She got me right with a a little 'bob-esque' cut with long layers.  I lost 2 - 3 inches of length.

As a rule of thumb, I always go with a layer cut with my natural hair and my clients as well.  It creates uniformity and a nice shape as it continues to grow out.

Within one week, the flat iron touched my hair a total of three times.  I refused to apply any additional heat after this final time (right after my trim).  I let that ride for awhile and then my curls began to revolt right at the nape of my neck....imagine that!

You'll notice a bit of loose curl action going on in the front.  That is a result of my curls participating in a slow and subtle revolt.  Yesterday, I washed it and let the curls do their thing completely!

My hair now has way more body and my curls are as lively as ever!  I'm excited to show you my new lively curls!!!  All of the length was actually split ends and brittle hair that had had enough.  I am now on a mission to grow it back twice as long, but healthier!

Stay tuned...

LaVida Given by Nature: Monoi de Tahiti Body Custard

LaVida Given by Nature has done it again!  This is the final product that I have tested from this lovely line of products.  So, you know just how much I raved about the body oil, right?  Well, this is the body oil and then some!  Allow me to shed light...

Fragrance

It was exactly the same!  Amazingly fragrant.  The package I received contained two of these samples and after using the first, I opted to save the second for a special occasion.  When I went to wash my clothes, I could smell the fragrance in them.  Love it!

Packaging

Even her sample packs are professionally branded.  I did have a tough time getting into the package and ended up having to use scissors to open it.  I little tear to aid in opening would have been useful.

Canola oil

Not too long ago, I reviewed African Royale Hot Six Oil.  As always, I pay attention to the ingredient list and this time I saw canola oil.  I had been experiencing some skin issues and this oil seemed to calm it all down.  This experience caused me to ponder the ingredients. The top five ingredients were - olive oil, canola oil, wheat germ oil, sweet almond oil and safflower oil respectively.

Having researched and heard of the benefits of some of the others, I was curious about canola oil.  I cook with it from time to time, have read some conflicting opinions about it in the past and now I'm finding it as the second ingredient in a product that seemed to work well for me. So, let's break this down!
