My path to lovely hair
By Queen B
Hello ladies,
I have been meaning to do this for a while, I have been quite busy and apologise. Thank you all for joining this group.
I will share my path to the natural hair I have today, please feel free to share your own stories, comments and suggestion regarding products you find on http://www.beehivehair.co.uk/
I started my hair journey at a very young age, my mother permed (relaxed) my hair.....MISTAKE! I started my struggle with relaxers in secondary school. No matter what products I tried I just couldn't get my hair straight enough! I even used a product call GLATT (I think that's what it was called) to make my hair seem longer.
Ladies, I need you to feel my pain!
On moving to the UK it seemed my problem just got worse, my hair was in the worst state it had ever been in and now I had an even wider selection of products to KILL my hair with.
At this stage I was not even sure what hair colour I was born with.
I continued perming, straightening and now I can't explain why.....I never did wear my natural hair in public. I always had weaves or braids.
I started losing my hairline (gasps).
I took my husband to Nigeria in 2007; (first time in Africa for him) had my hair in what I thought was a bad ass weave. I had told the hairdresser to make the weaving tight and the sewing on of the hair weft even tighter as I wanted it to last for the entire holiday. To my horror 10 days into the trip I was styling this bad ass hair when RIIIIIIIIIIIP an entire line came off taking the full perimeter of my natural hair with it! I had enough...I am shaving my head I screamed! ...and yes I did it. (Check one of my pics I had cut my hair off)
On my return to the Uk it was my mission to grow the hair God gave me (I discovered my natural hair colour is black not various shades of brown and orange lol).
I stumbled on an article by Tyra Banks.... "Full lace wigs". So that's how they did it! Hating all these black celebrities for years, wondering why God gave them that hair, and they are all full lace wig units. Oprah, Whitney, Beyonce, Tyra, Lil Kim, all of them had deceived me.
Well not for long, now I have my own stash...he he he he he he he (laughs like Dracula).
So now I have my long full natural African hair...the units allowed me to leave it alone and let it grow!
So now I rock my Afro in different styles (see the mohawk pics), and rock units as well. Goodbye bad hair days!
I set up my business to give every woman an option. A big thanks to all my clients.
A properly applied full lace wig unit will stay in position for up to 6 weeks (I only leave mine on for 2-3).
So please share your hairs successes and disasters with us all.
MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH MAC COSMETICS. COMMING SOON!
PS.. I have uploaded some videos.....comment, comment, comment, ladies!
