I'd been saving this gorgeous image of Dolly Parton for a later post. Thanks to MJ, I'm now aware that it's Dolly's b-day! I had no idea. Isn't she beautiful?!
I don't know where this image was found. A friend emailed it to me as he has come to believe I am an arbiter of good taste when it comes to big hair. If you know where the image was found, do let us know in the comments.

3 Ways To Help Our Little Princesses Love Their Hair
3 Ways To Help OurLittle Princesses Love Their Hair
By Terez Howard
I ask my daughter, “How do you want me to fix your hair?”“I want my puffs. Ilike them big, real BIG, because I like to squeeze them.”
After I fix her puffs as big as I can get them, she standsabout 2 inches from the full-length mirror in our hallway and gives them a goodsqueeze. She’s obviously very pleasedwith the results.
“My hair is like yours,” she says excitedly.
My 4-year-old loves her curly hair. After a no-poo wash, I swear that she’s goingto get whiplash from whipping her hair. Although she believes her hair is just like mine, it isn’t. She is half white. And I have micro locs.
Happy with my hair
Before Micah was born, I learned to love my naturalhair. I have been determined to ensuremy daughter loves what she’s been given - her skin, her nose, her toes and yes,her hair. Children learn byexample. I love my hair. The Girl wants to be like Mama, so she lovesher hair.
That means that I don’t complain about my hair texture. I do not talk about limitations associatedwith my hair. And, I certainly do notlong for “good hair.” She will neverhear me talk smack on my own hair.
I take pride in my hair. I show off that pride by trying out a variety of hair styles. I show off her hair with a plethora of hairstyles, as well. This way, she can seethat her hair doesn’t need to be fried or altered chemically to look cute. That is exactly what our little princessesshould know.
Hair talk
Like I said before, my daughter is 4. But I don’t underestimate her capacity tolearn. She knows that Mama’s locs willnot come out, that I have to retighten my roots, why I needed to braid and bandduring shampooings, why I braid her hair at night, why we use a Denmanimitation, why she gets regular trims, and I could go on and on. Now, I certainly don’t sit her down and puther through Naturalicious Hair 101. Yet,as we go about our day, we talk about everything we do. That includes what we do with our hair.
Take time to explain what and why you do what you do to yourhair and your daughter’s. For a4-year-old, just a couple sentences suffice.
Micah likes to share what she knows about hair. Just recently, she very matter-of-factly toldher 3-year-old friend, “My Mama has Sisterlocks.” Like the old adage, knowledge is power. That power gives her confidence.
Show natural love
My daughter loves Nonna’s waist-length, straight, blackhair. She loves Mama’s micro locs,too. She and I compliment hair stylesfrom women of all hair textures. Together, we show our appreciation for the hair on various ladies’heads.
Spending time to speak well of various textures shows thatwe don’t favor anyone. It’s not allabout straight hair or just curly hair or only locked hair. We don’t avoid giving praise where praise isdue. We take time to appreciateeveryone.
Our little princesses deserve to feel beautiful with whatGod gave them. We can engender thispride by what we say, what we do and how we feel.

How to do little girl's hairstyles: How to hold in curl on super straight hair?
Labels:
argan heat curling iron
,curls
,hair tools
I was recently asked on my Facebook page what to use to hold in curl on hair that is super straight. I have been struggling with this a bit with my own gals' hair, particularly my daughter with waist-length hair. Both of my older girls have fairly straight hair, and unless I use my teeny tiny curling iron, their hair would be flat flat in just a few hours. SUPER frustrating, right!? Especially when you spend a good 20 minutes curling it!
SO-I've been on the hunt! My sister in law recommended a curling iron to me, and after going to Sally's (where said iron was purchased), I found another iron that I have been very happy with as well. I think either one are great purchases and will do the job! The first is Argan Heat, the second is the Jilbere Nano Silver. We got the Argan, since it gets a bit hotter, and we figured, the hotter the better! (They are the same price--I ended up paying, with tax, about $35.)
Here's what we got:
It's called Argan Heat, and it gets up to 400 degrees. I could list all the ins and outs of it, but basically it's not supposed to fry your hair ends (as long as you use a good thermal styling protectant) at the high temps. AND, it works like a charm!
Different heat settings:
And, check it out! This was taken AFTER a day at school! Her curls took less than 5 minutes. (I promise, no touch ups either!)
And hairstyle no. 2 that day, again, AFTER school!
I sprayed in thermal heat protectant and a light coat of hairspray before curling, and that was it! (I have about 5 min a head in the mornings before school. I RARELY whip out the curling iron.)
So go test them out ladies! Tell me if anyone loves it as much as me!

Captured Curls: Aquia
Labels:
Captured Curls
I came across this beauty and her amazing head of hair, randomly on InstaGram! Immediately I wanted to feature her so she could share her story and some hairspiration with us all. Want to learn more about Aquia and her beautiful mane? Keep reading...
xoxo,
Alex
Please, introduce yourself!
My name is Aquia Francisco, I'm from San Antonio by way of Dallas, TX. I'm a PR girl by day and a socialite by night, a foodie and a recovering retail addict. I've been completely
What is your current hair care regimen?
I'm honestly a horrible natural (please don't stone me). I don't really have a "regimen." I used to do PR for a major haircare brand and I faithfully read blogs so I know that one should have a regimen but doing my hair is usually an all day affair that I have to mentally prepare myself for. Every two weeks or so I wash with my handsdown favorite sulfate-free shampoo (Creme of Nature with Argan Oil Moisture & Shine Shampoo) and follow with a
What is your hair type and what works best for your texture?
I've never gotten into the "hair typing" fiasco. I never really cared. I don't believe my hair can be stuck into one category nor do I think it's like anyone else's... Similar, maybe, but not enough to call myself a "type a" or whatever. What does that even mean? Lol however, for my hair texture, I use a lot of cream-based products. They hold my hair best -- particularly with twist outs. My two staples are Creme of Nature Lemongrass Leave-in and Cantu Shea butter Moisturizing & Repairing Cream. I don't really do wash-
What reaction did you get when you first decided to go natural?
Luckily, the people closest to me were very supportive and that's all that really mattered. One of my best friends and I did it around the same time so we leaned on each other for support. Of course you run into ignorant people who make ignorant comments, but at the end of the day, I'm no better than them if I believe their comments to be true. I think going natural allows you to find a comfort and a confidence within yourself that you may not have ever known you had until you make that decision. The same people who threw slugs when my hair was two inches long are probably the same folks trying to put their hands all in it now that it's longer than their mom's.
Did you BC or transition, if so when or for how long?
I transitioned for about nine months and then randomly decided to get my hair cut in a bob in September of 2009. When I washed it however, the back was so short that all of my permed ends were gone and I couldn't straighten it. Go figure. That same weekend I went and had the rest cut off. There were tears, but as cliche as it sounds, it was a very liberating experience.
What makes you love your kinks, curls and coils?
I love the versatility. I love standing out in a crowd. I love the handful of compliments I receive daily. I love motivating other women to find the confidence to make the decision to be relaxer-free. I love that even on a bad hairday, I never regret making the decision to go on this journey. I've NEVER regretted it. Ever.
Where can we find you on the web?
I've been telling myself I would update my blog but that's still in the works. So in the meantime, you can follow me on twitter @missaquia.

Mini Twists Update
Syd has had her mini twists in for 9 days now and they are holding up wonderfully. We decided to wet her hair about a day after the twists were finished. She likes the look of shrunken twists best, so she achieved that look by simply getting her hair wet and then adding a bit of moisturizer to replace what she had rinsed away. The twists shrank and plumped up, and Syd was happy with the results.
She hasn't done much with her hair in the last week. Instead, she has chosen to take a break from thinking about her hair and just wear the twists down most of the time.We did pull the very front back into a half-up style before school this morning, though. Here's what she looked like just before heading out the door.
Syd wears a satin cap to sleep at night to reduce frizz. However, she's been wearing hoodies (with the hood up a lot) now that it's getting colder, so the frizziness is starting to show up. I'm sure we'll start styling the twists more often now in order to keep the twists but hide the frizzies, so be looking for another update before too long!

Labels:
Combovers
For years Ohio broadcast television viewers have been pelted with cheesy ads for the Cleveland firm of "Elk and Elk" featuring the man (heavily retouched) pictured above, Arthur Elk. Elk's frizzy, dyed combover is leaves people agasp. When mated to his real face (sans the photoshopping), it makes him look 90.
Arthur, if you see this, we beg you, seek professional help immediatly from a qualified stylist. Ditch the combover, let your hair grow out, and in doing so you will look years younger and much less vain.
You can see Arthur's hair in this commercial:
You can read more about the infamous "do" that's really a "don't" here.
NOTE: This post is only about the hair. It should not be construed about the effectiveness of the firm or the person. It's just about the hair.
