The Batia & Aleeza Bio Herbal Mineral Gel actually opens the hair cuticle allowing the product to soak into each hair strand and revitalize the bonds between the cell.  The product enhances naturally curly, wavy or kinky textured hair by using all-natural ingredients to penetrate the hair shaft and strengthen the molecular bond.

Have I tried the gel on my own naturally wavy hair which has a lot of curl underneath?  Yes, and I absolutely love it!  My waves are incredibly shiny. I thought it was just my imagination, but my guy mentioned how much shinier my hair looked.

When I received other compliments on my hair I knew it was due to the Batia & Aleeza since this is the only product I used.

Because the product appeared at first to be so watery, I applied a lot of gel the first time I used it.  Yes, it’s very very thin and watery, but I didn’t need any other products although I tried it with and without leave-in conditioner.  The gel, because it is so watery, is very easy to distribute.

I recently spent the last few weeks watching every single episode of NBC’s “The Office”.  No, I had never really watched it before.

Yes, I had watched select episodes from time to time like when Pam and Karen were vying for Jim, but I just could not get into the show.

It has different pacing than normal sitcoms and it’s created to be a fly-on-the-wall “docu-reality” parody, where the actors will turn and talk or roll their eyes towards the cameras. Continue reading “An Odessy Into NBC’s ‘The Office’ Television Series” »

One of the fastest ways to help heal damaged hair is to allow it to air dry rather than using hot blow dryers or other hot tools.  Air drying is especially beneficial for those with long hair, curly, wavy or kinky hair and hair that is chemically damaged.

Some hair consumers can’t go cold turkey from regular blow drying to just air drying.

Some need a slower transition.  How?  You can still blow dry but instead of using the highest heat setting, go with the slowest, lowest heat speeds.  Or switch to a long finger diffuser set on a low heat and speed.

Another transition option is to do a wet set where you roll your hair in pin curls, rags or other curlers and then sit under a hood or soft bonnet dryer to avoid blow frying your strands.   While it’s best to eventually leave blow drying completely behind, if you can’t do it all at once, make it an eventual goal.

Yes, I live in Dallas, Texas.  I have for almost the majority of my lifetime even though I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri.

Is it true that the majority of big hair is in Texas?  Although that’s what the media says, I don’t really see it in Dallas.  Maybe it’s some other part of Texas that I haven’t been too.  Who knows?

However, it’s true that Dallas people have some of the best looking hair I have ever seen except maybe at times in New York and Los Angeles.

Do lots of people in Dallas use hairspray?  Yes they do.  Are they crazy about using it?  Not that I can see, but again, I really don’t think Dallas people have unusually big hair.

A large majority of woman, as well as a lot of men,  in the United States use some form of hairspray. There are a wide range of hairsprays on the market.  Continue reading “Helmet Head Hairstyles Are Not Limited To Texas Hairstyles” »
