Troy Polamalu's Million Dollar Hair

Troy Polamalu for Head and Shoulders
Head & Shoulders has taken out a $1 million insurance policy on Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu's hair. I find everything about this fascinating. Although, I must admit, I really don't know what that means...Well, I know what it means, but I guess I just wonder what insurance on hair entails.
Below is a clip of him giving a quick overview of his haircare regimen. I would of defiantly had some follow up questions but the reporter, based on his disclaimer, was embarrassed to ask even the initial question. Lol! What do you think? Is that what million dollar hair looks like to you?

Houston Naturals: Wedding Pics

Wedding Hair
Well I ended up styling my hair in a basic pony puff for the wedding I attended. Not super creative but it got the job done. Here are a few pics from the wedding. It never occurred to me how many natural friends my mother has too. So of course I had to share...

Me and My Mommy

Play Aunties Jeanette and Vanessa with My Mommy

Play Auntie Ruth and Bill
Aunt Ruth is also relaxer free. I believe she achieves this look with a set and wrap. I might need to sit down and plan an interview with her. Lol! Oh and check out the flyy natural in the background rocking the black flower :)

Elegant Natural Lexus Thomas
The Lovely Bride Kristy and Handsome Groom Adam. Congrats!
A great time was had by one and all! Prayers and best wishes go out to the bride and groom.

Ta for Now,

Wedding Hair...

No I'm not getting married tomorrow, but I am going to a wedding. So once a again I'm trying to decide what to do with my hair. I wanted to hold on to my doo from the other night, but ultimately had to give in to my need to run water through my hair at least once a week. Any who, my dress probably didn't go with that style anyway so it's back to the drawing board. Pretty sure this new look will involve spin pins too in some way, shape, or form, or maybe banana clips. I liked this video by naturalcurlz86 ...





You all have any ideas?

Do you deep condition?

Hands down my favorite deep conditioner is Pantene Relaxed and Natural Deep Conditioning Mask, but it's beginning to get kind of hard to find. Being the product junky that I am I usually like to have 2 or 3 or 10 alternatives. Do you deep condition? What are your favorites?
