Let's Talk About HAIR

As a woman I love to look and feel my best, and for me that starts with my hair. My grandmother told me "you can have on your best outfit, but if your hair isn't right nothing else matters". My grandma Mary is fly always well put together and I'd like to think I take after her.
There was a time when I was at the beauty supply store once a month buying hair until one day I realized that there was a better quality available if I spent a little more money.
I like to think of my hair as an investment; if I invest and buy a higher quality, then I will get my return in the long run because I won't be buying anymore hair for at least a year. (I'm a hair addict I buy hair about every 3 months)

OK lets talk!!
There are many different kinds of hair but I'll focus on 3:
Processed hair (store bought beauty supply)
Virgin Indian (unprocessed raw hair)
Virgin Brazilian (unprocessed raw hair)

Processed hair is the hair sold in the beauty supply store. It's called processed because the hair has been chemically altered treated and coated with all kinds of silicons to make it straight, wavy, wet and wavy or whatever else they sale these days. Even the most expensive hair store brands are processed this hair will usually last any where from 1 week to a few months for the more expensive brands. Unless you buy an expensive brand this hair usually can not be dyed, washed, or wet without becoming a tangled mess.

Virgin Indian hair is hair that you can not buy in a beauty supply store. Most virgin hair has to be ordered either online or through a private vendor. It's called Virgin hair because it is raw and untouched meaning it has not been chemically altered. It is hair that was cut off of the head of an Indian (God bless him or her lol) Virgin hair comes by the bundle not in packs like processed hair. you need 2 bundles or 8oz for a full weave. I like big hair so I use 3 bundles.

Anything that you can to do to your real hair you can do to this hair. Wash, dye, bleach etc and if you have good quality the hair should not tangle. When I got my first batch of Virgin Indian hair it was like Heaven I could hear the choir singing Hallelujah!!! That was 2007 and I haven't looked back since. I've even converted most of my girls into Virgins.

Virgin Brazilian Hair is like Indian hair in that is has not been processed, and anything you can do to your real hair can be done to this hair. Lately I have been rocking Brazilian hair because the coarseness matches that of my real hair. Brazilian hair is a bit thicker than Indian hair and is easier for me to blend with my own. I also noticed that Brazilian hair does not get as frizzy as Indian. Like Indian hair Brazilian comes in one color: Natural Brown but it can be dyed or bleach. It also comes in straight, wavy, or curly.

Whether you choose Indian or Brazilian either is a great choice. Just remember your hair is an investment take care of it and it will take care of you!

Here's My Grandma Mary. Told yall she was fly.
