Microblading ... Is it worth it?

Microblading (also known as eyebrow embroidery or 3D Eyebrows) is semi-permanent makeup procedure that provides a means to fill in missing eyebrow hair or sparse areas with the appearance of simulated hair using fine deposits of cosmetic tattoo pigments.

Microbladed Eyebrows 
Microblading is a 2-session process ... which means you will have to go back after your initial session for a touch-up. This is due to way the skin heals and how the pigment ink (which is thicker than tattoo ink) may heal lighter in some areas than others.   After your touch-up session,your brows should heal and leave you with a thicker and fuller eyebrow shape.



So with all that being said and done ... Is it worth it?

Yes, Absolutely...  If you spend time daily drawing in or fill in your brows with makeup, this is the perfect alternative.  Microblading will not only save you time, but also money in the long run - and lets be honest-who doesn't want to wake up with perfect brows?

So what are you waiting for?

XOXO,

The Wrath of Synthetic Hair

The Wrath of Synthetic Hair


     Once upon a time my virgin hair was long curly and healthy. It was processed with perms and my mother even tried a leisure curl. Now my healthy long hair lost track of how it was suppose to look and my curls became so confused that they went in several directions. I went off to college ad wore a ponytail each day, I attempted another style and experienced hair loss. I wore a wig for about a year and my hair grew back down my back. I then wanted to look normal so I turned to weaves. Surprisingly my hair did not grow as much as it did with the wigs so I lost a few inches. So now I am on a hair journey to have healthy hair, and I have to admit I am not the girl to wear totally natural hair. No excuses no explanations it is just not for me.

      So fast forward to August 2016, I just came out of a weave and wanted a protective style, so I obtained the number of a new stylist and off I went to try these lead in braids. The lead in braids were cute, a definite winner until they got wet. When the hair was wet the chemicals from the hair had an adverse reaction with my skin and before I new it I had hives on 60% of my body. Boy did that itch and my Labor Day weekend turned into a trip to the emergency room and antihistamine trials. I was given a prednisone and benadryl. I had to stop taking the benadryl because it caused more hives. So I took a Zyrtec, Claritan, and another antihistamine. I went to sleep after a long warm shower and slept comfortably.

I also had to wash my hair several times to rid it of the chemical that attached to my hair follicles. I washed it in Neutrogena T Gel and Apple Cider Vinegar. My hair nourished to be relieved from the chemical that attacked it. It is day four and I finally am getting some relief with minimal breakouts. Synthetic hair is a great way for you to protect your hair during your hair journey, but due to my experience with it I never want to see synthetic hair again. Hope all is well in your beautiful world dolls,

Love and Happiness

Nikki

Financing Weave & Hair Extensions: The Dirty Truth

Hey Dolls,

I love weave! I especially love adding in new hair extensions with each new hair style. But let's be honest... It can get really expensive to continuously buy weave and most of the so-called "virgin and unprocessed" hair is really just good fibers or processed hair. So what can you do if you want new weave, but the budget is tight? Well, I personally suggest saving up and investing in better hair and better hair care products to prolong the life of your hair extensions. But a new trend has hit the market for weave buying. Loans for Weave


Weave Loan Store In Detroit, MI
 Virgin Hair sellers across the U.S. are now offering financing for hair extensions... But does it really benefit the consumer? The answer is not a simple yes or no, it depends on a few different factors. For one, is the hair quality good and will the hair last? I would think there is nothing worse than paying monthly for weave you can no longer use or was only able to install once. Second thing to consider is the financing costs. If the interest is high, do not apply. You could end up paying double the price for the weave ... That's another bundle or 2 - so don't finance,  if there is not an option to payoff the loan or credit early without prepayment fees or without interest.

BTW I have heard  that the loan provider AFFIX charges a very high interest rate per month.
