When Hair Braiding Goes Wrong: Coming From Greensboro, NC

When Hair Braiding Goes Wrong: Coming From Greensboro, NC

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?

Kat Stacks | What Not to Do!

Kat Stacks | What Not to Do!

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.

Bad Hair Day? June 10, 2010

Good Day or Bad Day?

You make the call

Well, me first > All Women are have a Bad Day.

Here are the solutions for you beautiful black women.

Lets start with the first woman, with the streaks of blonde. I will call her Blondy. Blondy is in denial. Blondy just needs to use one color. I understand everyone has their creativity going on to describe self. But, eh, I believe if you just use one color and get a proper ponytail, maybe from Helena Hair Weaves from NYC, you would be good to go! What do you think V – Stars?

Number 2 Woman (the middle one) – I can’t really tell what is going on with your hair, but the only I have to say. Get rid of the pony tail, you are loosing your edges!!! If you want to keep your hair, try a different style that doesn’t put pressure on your diminishing edges.

The last woman on the far right – Based on the natural texture and shininess of your bangs. Your hair looks natural. The only thing I can not understand is the 2 types. If you are going to do straight, stick with straight. If you are going to do curly, stick with curly. Don’t mix and match, it is not the best solution.
