'Help! I suck at hair. Tips, tricks and insider secrets for the hair-challenged': a book review.

I've had hair 'issues' all my life.
    From relaxed hair, to a couple of 'big chops', then finally to a personal decision to stick with (and tolerate) the naturally kinky texture that God had so lovingly placed on my head.
    So I was most pleased to take up the offer of reading and reviewing a book which was written by a fellow so-called 'hair-challenged', Cailyn Koy.
     Cailyn is a beauty blogger and author.  Her most recent publication chronicles her activities that take her from 'tress-ful' and anxious, to confident ability to care for her hair with ease.
     This book contains various sections which pertain to styling, cutting, coloring and caring for hair.

                                                       Styling

    The styling section talks about tools and products that can be used to straighten and blow-dry hair.  Wavy and curly styling are also discussed.  The use and types of hair extensions are also highlighted.  In addition, there are tutorials on formal coifs such as the Fountain and the Baroque.


                                                          Cut


Cailyn's book also advises on the appropriate haircuts for different hair textures.  One can discover how to trim one's own hair and even cut bangs!

Color



I didn't even know that there were different types of dyes that stayed in hair for varying lengths of time (I didn't know my 'semi' from my 'demi' - until now).  You can also read on how to care for color-treated hair and grab some wonderful tips for redheads.



Care




    The care section advises on keeping hair healthy.  The importance of deep-conditioning is included.  This section is especially for you ladies who don't condition your hair at all, preferring to sport the frizzy, Labradoodle look.
        It's not cute.

'Help!  I suck at hair' is infused with heavy doses of humor and sarcasm.  It is a generally enjoyable read.

 This year's awards show was held on Sunday in Los Angeles.  Word on the streets? Many outfits were less than flattering. We try our best not to use the G word over here.  However we saw many cute and stylish outfits, proudly worn by our ladies.   We managed to choose 5 gorgeous red carpet ensembles from BET's event. This dark dress with a flattering neckline managed to turn heads.  Applique was the name of the game for this short number. This dress was our personal favorite, body hugging and with a strategically placed slit. We would have preferred a less translucent look, but this fit was definitely worn with confidence. Her hair could have been in an updo, however we love the gold accents worn with this mindless. Who were your 5 Best Dressed Ladies?

                          I have to admit , these Creme of Nature products have been lifesavers for my hair!  Since I decided to buy these products just for the heck of it, I don't regret my purchases.  These have been my go-to products for a little over two months and I am totally satisfied with the results.     1.  Creme of Nature Moisture & Shine shampoo.  This sulfate - free product lathers up well and rinses out leaving hydrated, clean hair. 2.  Creme of Nature Leave - In Hair Milk.   I apply this after I condition my hair and also as a daily moisturiser. 3.  Creme of Nature Pudding Perfection Curl Enhancing Creme This is the last step in my hairdressing routine.  As the name states, its pudding - like consistency keeps my hair moist so it does not dry out and get crunchy.   The label says it can also be used with heat to stretch out curls but I try to keep heat - styling tools at bay as much as I can. My thoughts on this line? I
