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.

Burgundy....

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! My bestie, KReneeW., over at Hustleandheels.com , makes fun of me because I have went leather crazy. I must say, it was before Kimye , lol. These with a nice cardigan would be perfect for a day in meetings at www.HollywoodWeaves.com . They look so comfy, and how can you go wrong with 100% lambs leather?

Wedding Planning....

I never thought this time would come but oh how near it is. In the mist of all my task at HollywoodWeaves.com, I have started gathering ideas for my wedding. There is a whole world of wedding fanatics out there lol, and I have never been one of them. There is something about someone asking you to marry them 3 times, that just lights a wedding fire that makes you want to jump all in to that fairy tale. Even through the fairy tale, my wedding will be small, intimate, romantic, and a little sexy :) It still makes me laugh how I got from there to here.... Soon I will be someones wife and mother! I have to pinch myself. The one thing I have decided is that my dress will be Elie Saab, most likely from his 2012 Couture show.  Here are a couple flicks from that show:

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.

A few of the every day tools I use to run a million dollar company...

My daily routine is stupid and it includes hundreds of emails, hundreds of calls, and hundreds of request! Sometimes my day does not even end, it just goes right into the next day! Here are a few things that I use that help get me through my chaotic day:

  • Iphone

  • Google Calendar Reminders

  • Bible app on the Ipad

  • Ipad

  • Blue Ink Pen ( I take numerous notes throughout the day)

  • Planning Binder: Holds major to do list, separated by tabs . For me, my tabs are: Hair Vendors, Current Online Prices, HollywoodWeaves Members, Marketing,  Calendar, Social Events, Current Promos, Reports, and a few more goodies :)

  • 6 bottles of water ( drinking a bottle of water is like a vacation for me)

  • A Fashion magazine  that I can read a few pages for like 5 mins a day as my break from the work lol

Are you registered to vote??

Ladies!!!! Owwww! Just as much as I love hair, you know I love a great outfit. Those of you who know me personally, know that it I'm not your typical conservative business women and I will show up in a meeting in shorts and boots :) I think this is a great out fit that has a great Spring trend, Neon, that transitions into a great Fall Trend ( Leather). Love it! I definitely will pull this look for one of my HollywoodWeaves.com outing next week. That could be one of my top 5 things that I love about working for HollywoodWeaves, the leading national virgin hair supplier.
