The Truth about Hair and other Necessary Evils.

I spend a lot of money on my hair. A lot. I would actually be able to fully decorate my apartment if I didn't spend so much money on my damn hair. I feel that most of confidence actually comes from my hair. So I say all that to say this: If you have any kind of money where you need to beautify yourself, and you need to choose what to do? Get your hair done. Nothing makes you feel better on a shitty day than great fresh hair. Getting your hair done is what I like to call a necessary evil.

Getting you hair done is expensive. Trust me I know. I'm a black woman, so getting my hair done is equivalent to a car payment. But, it's something that must be done. my definition of a necessary evil. A necessary evil is something that you have to suck it on and spend the money on if you have it to do it. Waxing also falls into this category.

Some people can do their hair like a professional. So much so that others request for them to do their hair. Great. If you are a licensed beautician, even better. But if you do your own hair, and other people do not ask you to do theirs. Get it done. If you have easy hair, and by easy hair I mean the kind you just throw some water on and everything is okay. That is somewhat okay. I still think you should treat yourself to the full monty every now and again. If you cannot, repeat, cannot do your own hair....at all. Go through the arduous process of finding a beautician and handle your business on a regular basis. Great hair, or at least the appearance of it, really does wonders for the confidence.

Waxing, well, do I really need to explain. Well, I will say I am really obsessed with my brows. They need to be dooonne all the time. Most professional eyebrow waxers can't maintain eyebrows. So needless to say, you shouldn't do it. When someone else does, it just looks better. Don't even get me started on the mustaches. Here's a little tip, for those who has issues with the wax (sensitive skin, allergic reactions, etc). Have your eyebrow lady wax just the middle of the brow down, and have her shape the front with tweezers. You won't even get red. Some eyebrow places like to put powder on your brows so that it will sort of dim the power of the wax on your skin. That doesn't work. Threading also eliminates this problem as well. I'm not a huge fan of it because it hurts, but I'll be honest and say that I did like the end result more than waxing. It just took longer to get there.

Jennifer Lopez has good brows. If you all get threaded and you don't have thick brows, invest in that powder they sell. Will change your life.
