Should Virgin Hair Have a Smell????


 Hi Ladies!!! It has been a while.  Today I was emailed this general question, so I have decided to address it for you all. First I do not think any hair should have any smell at all. It just is not natural. BUT.................
sometimes a smell on hair may not be avoidable. Think about this: Have you ever been to a club that people were allowed to smoke, and you come home and your hair smells like smoke? It has happened to me many times. 
What we have found is sometimes hair smells like the factory it was sourced in. 
I think the biggest think is knowing the difference between a chemical/cornchip smell, and just a factory smell. 
Sourcing hair is big business now, so it is done in factories. This sometimes causes a smell and I found this out once I visited our vendors property. The thing is, a long time ago, this would have been unheard of. Today, it is becoming more common I am seeing. I have seen some really amazing hair come delivered with a slight odor. Before, I would be alarmed, but again, I have now seen some amazing hair that I would have missed out on. 

I do have a tip: If your hair has any type of smell, you can wash your hair with a tea tree shampoo and remove the smell. Most likely it is not a chemical smell. After you wash, make sure you condition your hair as well, and a really good idea would be to invest in a light leave conditioner as well.

Business Tip...

Take some time to read! Reading is so important. I meet and talk with people all day long that do not read. I realized how costly it is not to read. People always say "my time is valuable", and it baffles me because at times I feel like my time and theirs have been wasted because they did not read.

This tip doubles for a person pursuing business ownership...


Two Things.....

Just finished a meeting for HollywoodWeaves.com and realized how these are the two things making me happy now:


  1. So, the bestie and I always talk about carrying around luggage on a daily basis as a purse. Well I found the best small shoulder bag. It is so great for daily wear to meetings, shopping, and date night. Its so great, with just enough room for the important things. This is my answer to the luggage that I am guilty of loving. The color is awesome too. This Burgundy is everything right now :)
  2. This Apple and Pear White Sangria is giving me my second wind right now. Just and FYI, everyone visiting my home the next two weeks will be drinking this. Everyone who knows me, knows that when I love something, I go in on it, :)  Found the recipe in a magazine and fell in love with it. Perfect for afternoon meetings for HollywoodWeaves.com, still light, and just really refreshing.

My Fair Sweets for business ...

20120901-235724.jpg

Had a great meeting with these beautiful ladies, at my friends place. This is the best spot in Atlanta for sweets. @myfairsweets is a great place to go for coffee , a sweet, and get some great work in. A topic we discussed today was the disconnect between vision and action. It seems many people have vision and ideas that are grand, but there is sometimes a disconnect between the vision and the action. I know we all get tired, but I thing that is different from a disconnect. Well I can tell you this, when you have vision you also have to have: drive, energy, good health, a tolerance for no sleep, and be able to carry 10x your weight as you will be doing the job of 10 people. All of the ladies in the picture above are self made business owners. You can only imagine the knowledge that was passed around today. Good day! XOXO
