Want Strong, Beautiful Nails?

Thursday, September 29, 2011


Just had to share with you ladies, for the longest I always had short nubby nails that refused to grow. I hate artificial nails because they make your nails grow temporarily and the moment you take them off your natural nails break. I decided I was no longer going to get artificial nails and promised myself I would grow them on my own. I started taking biotin, and I purchased Sally Hansen Hard As Nails. I've heard so many people rant and rave about it but I never paid it any attention because I hate products that promise you a result and doesn't deliver. So I decided to try it...and I LOVE THIS STUFF! I apply it on bare nails and under the tips just before I apply my nail polish and I've been doing it consistently for about 5 months. My nails now:



At one point my nails actually grew longer than this and I had to cut them down. I'm definitely happy with the outcome. My nails have never been this long in my life. No more falsies! The best part about Hard As Nails; It's dirt cheap. It retails for about $2.50 a bottle at drug stores and comes in clear and natural which gives your nails a slight pink tint. So ladies give it a try, apply to bare nails and under nail tips before each nail polish application. It really strengthens and hardens your nails, can't even remember the last time I had a nail break on me. Also take biotin for the health of your hair skin and nails. It works!

The Natural Movement: The Journey to Healthy Chemical Free Hair

Good day everyone! So I have decided after much thought and lots of back and forth, to finally make the transition to natural hair. No more relaxers! I think my hair has officially run its course with relaxers. After 22 long years of the creamy crack its about that time to say goodbye. And this is why...
Like most brown girls, I got my first relaxer at a very young age. I've had relaxed hair since I was 5 years old, I'm now 27 and have no idea what my natural texture is like. That's a really long time to be unfamiliar with any part of your body. As soon as little black girls are brought into the world their mothers start relaxing their hair by the time its time to start preschool.
