Sometimes I get mad at the shit that Black women are sold to fry their wigs in the name of beauty. I get mad at the companies that sell this shit and I get mad at the women who buy this shit.
Olive oil?!? Someone is about to fry they wig. Nah’mean?!?
How ironic that ‘Africa’s Best’ raison d’etre is to ultimately get the Black out of one’s scalp?
My girl owns a spray made by that Olive Oil company. I use it occasionally after I take off the stocking cap. I can’t front–that shit works.
Ok, I’m going to rationalize that you probably know next to nothing about the care of natural hair and explain the Olive oil:
Olive oil is a great way to seal the moisture into hair when used after a water based moisturizer. Lots of women who wear our hair in its natural state use ingredients like olive oil, honey, henna, coconut oil, molasses, and several other edible things to condition, soften and keep our hair in order. I add honey and molasses to my conditioner for shine and moisture.
You should check out nappturality.com. You’d learn a lot.
Thanx Mz Nikki. So I guess when I see these west indian grrls with they head all red they must have used tomato sauce?
Or was it cranberry sauce?
I marinate in buttermilk + 11 herbs and spices before frying my wig.
Mz Nikki is on point.
Olive oil and honey are great for your hair. I don’t know the price of those olive-oil based products but, I think its wierd that some one would buy a product based with olive oil when you can simply use olive oil. Honey can be used for so many different bodily applications like conditioning the hair.
The sad thing is that many women destroy their natural hair chasing an idealistic aesthetic beauty, pushing their hairlines and irreversibly damaging their scalps. I just hope young girls learn the consequences of using lace-front wigs.
Thank God I claim my spanish side today. It’s over for those perms. My shit is natural.
How about some of you hoes just tell Rosanna the Dominican mami who washes your hair for $20 bucks (thats including deep condition) to roll your hair with the “purple” rollers and just blowdry your roots.
Stop fucking up your whole head and maybe some of you ass hats can have some hair. And the majority of your kneegrow queens did that kelis cut and cant even grow your hair back.
Take it from the queen.

^ Mo,
You are such a showoff.
The third pic from the top is my favorite on some video vixen shit.
Oh sweat Mo, take a look, I think you got a booger in your nose.
wifey stay with the olive oil on the bed stand.
This post came at a good time. While I was waiting for a train last Thursday night, two women and ther kids (boy, girl) were talking to each other. One woman asked the other what she used to keep her daughters hair looking nice and so straight. And so began a discussion of relaxers for children. I was not pleased by this chat.
My mother permed my hair when I was so young that I dont even remember when it began. But I said no to that crap 8 years ago, and Im never going back! (Now if I could just feel that way about coloring…Imma have to work on that, lol).

Africa’s best = Euro
Look at Mo looking all glamorous and stylin on fools. Get it Mo.
I don’t put any products bought at the Korean Beauty Supply Store in my hair either. I use natural stuff when I can, and a good deep conditioner and shampoo. I too entrust my dome to my Dominican mami’s every two weeks.
However, I don’t hate on my sisters with weaves, locs, braids or fros…..you have to rock whatever makes you happy and confident.
However…the Africa’s Best straightener? Hilarious.
Candice,
I’m at the salon every week. Its when these bitches snip them shits off that be getting me tight. I spew hate to the skeezers who keep me in the salon for 3+ hours because they be making my “Rosanna” bust a sweat trying to smooth out their damaged shit. Like I don’t have shit to do and places to go.
Big shout outs to the ladies with locs though & any other chick who keeps their shit on point. When it’s done right, it speaks for itself.
trust.
