the excitement of doing my own hair fueled my interest to pursuit cosmetology also my High School offered the program for free.

Describe your most bizarre hair experience.
My most bizzare hair experience was applying a relaxer on a over dramatic 10 year old. She cried and wailed and begged the lord for forgiveness funny thing is i barely applied and any relaxer into her hair and she wasnt burning. Come to find out in the past she had some pretty bad experiences so when ever someone touches her head and tries to comb it she has these flashbacks of pain.

Yes, I would love to have celebrity clientele…so they can dish some dirt lol

In 5yrs i see myself owning my own shop and possibly venturing in othe avenues of the hair industry

Any hair secrets? Tips? Tricks?
Thinning areas and bald spot maybe signs of internal disorders
Buy wig clips and sew them onto your hair tracks its a wonderful quick weave,inexpensive,and custom.
Women who have recently had babies should continue to take their vitamins. Sometimes the hair starts to thin if adequate nutrients arent taken in.

I recently read a story of a woman name Veronica Carter. Ms. Carter went to get her hair braider, and it kind of put her in the hospital. Here is the Complete Story.

Well, according to the story, she got MRSA. Which is according to google health is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial infection that is highly resistant to some antibiotics.

The causes are according to Google Health >>

MRSA is a strain of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria. S. aureus is a common type of bacteria that normally live on the skin and sometimes in the nasal passages of healthy people. MRSA refers to S. aureus strains that do not respond to some of the antibiotics used to treat staph infections.

The bacteria can cause infection when they enter the body through a cut, sore, catheter, or breathing tube. The infection can be minor and local (for example, a pimple), or more serious (involving the heart, lung, blood, or bone).

Serious staph infections are more common in people with weak immune systems. This includes patients in hospitals and long-term care facilities and those receiving kidney dialysis.

MRSA infections are grouped into two types:

• Healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) infections occur in people who are or have recently been in a hospital or other health-care facility. Those who have been hospitalized or had surgery within the past year are at increased risk. MRSA bacteria are responsible for a large percentage of hospital-acquired staph infections.
• Community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) infections occur in otherwise healthy people who have not recently been in the hospital. The infections have occurred among athletes who share equipment or personal items (such as towels or razors) and children in daycare facilities. Members of the military and those who get tattoos are also at risk. The number of CA-MRSA cases is increasing. (Sited from Google Health)

So, my point is, how is this women blaming on hair braiding when she has personal healthcare issues?

I feel sorry for the salon. I mean, she must have gotten her hair braided numerous times. You can see that by looking at her edges. Why blame the hair braiders?

As we all know, a healthy body is a very important & essential building block to a healthy head of hair. The following foods will increase your intake of various vitamins  to assist your long, lovely locks. Incorporating some of these ingredients in your normal foods could be an easy transition. For example, try some red peppers on top of a whole wheat pizza, or shredded carrots on top of your salad or baked potato in the place of, or alongside cheese.

Brewer’s yeast
Wheat Germ

Kat Stacks has apologized for all her wrong doing with the help of Lil’ Twist  and his Aunt herself. She is known for her long bangs and black hair. However, she changed it up again with a short blonde wig. This is a no – no. If you are going to do this, make sure it is fresh. Kat Stacks indeed, had a bad hair day along with another beat down.
