Hair Relaxers Linked To Uterine Fibroid Tumors And Early Puberty
I was pretty shocked when I read this article on new studies conducted into hair relaxers. Here is the article and youtube video. More research needs to go into this but meanwhile, us as women need to think if this is true or not. Is it worth the risk to ourselves, daughters, sisters & cousins that we help give relaxers too?
Hair Today, Tumors Tomorrow?
HOUSTON – First, it was the Brazilian Blowout. Now, hair relaxers, used by millions of women, are under fire.
New research suggests women’s reproductive health could be at risk. It begs the question: What are we sacrificing for our hair?
Step in just about any salon and you’ll smell the chemicals.
“More than 70 percent of our business comes from getting relaxers,” said Chasity Christian, co-owner of the Beauty Bar.
It’s where Audrey Smith gets her hair treated.
“We all feel great when we have our hair done,” Smith said.
For decades, Smith has been getting what’s known as a relaxer to straighten her hair. She’s never given much thought to possible risks.
“Not much and if I did, I figured it was minimal,” said Smith.
“We’ve never had any client come in and say, ‘My doctor says I need to stop getting relaxers’,” said Christian.
Sure there have been warnings about hair products, even from comedian Chris Rock. His documentary “Good Hair” shows a soda can that disintegrates after being submerged in chemicals for several hours.
But now, a new study from Boston University finds evidence linking hair relaxer to uterine fibroid tumors and early puberty.
“There used to be a joke: beauty suffers but not to the point of death,” said Tamika Fletcher, co-owner of Natural Resources, a salon in Rice Village catering to women embracing the trend of natural hair.
Fletcher says her scalp used to be filled with chemical burns and bald spots when she used relaxers.
“You know, this is one of the few industries that’s not regulated by the FDA, and so if you have the wild wild west of hair care products, everyone is claiming what they want to claim without having to prove efficacy, it makes a big difference. No one is really held to any type of real standard,” said Fletcher.
She and the Beauty Bar can agree on one thing: more research is needed.
“Now all of a sudden it’s supposed to be bad for you? Well by now if something was going to happen, it would have happened,” said Smith.

Getting ready for a big hair day!
Hey everyone,
It is my brothers birthday tomorrow so being a natural, you know you got to plan ahead. So I decided to style my hair with the mindset of ‘the bigger the hair the harder they stare’. I started this style on freshly clean hair & then added 24 flexi rods, I set my hair with some water and a little bit of ‘Lottabody’ setting lotion. Now I am not a master of setting my hair but I think this time I did not do too badly! I’m all shirley temple right now lol. But do not worry will not be keeping it like this, I will be separating a fluffing for some big hair tomorrow. So wish me luck
More pics tomorrow of the final result.

Weight Gain Update!
Hey ladies,
This is my weight gain update. I have put on a couple of pounds and let me tell you what I have changed.
I have added protein shakes to my diet – A misconception is that protein shakes are for guys and that you will get bulky which is not true, it is actually full of vitamins and we need protein in our diets pretty regularly.
Weight training – I want to put on weight so I only have a small amount of cardio in my routine to just get the heart pumping. But ladies do not run from the weights it is a great workout and a way to get your body looking toned, you just have to look at bikini models they weight train and look FIIINE! Using weights does not necessarily mean you will look like a bodybuilder. So much work has to be done to get like. ALSO rest in between sessions! You can overwork muscles.
So overall I am feeling good. I am really keeping up with my routine and trust me that is hard, having children and being at university. But a good body and long lustrous hair takes work ladies!
Another update will be up soon. Next time I will tell you my work out routine.
Take care honeys.

Annie’s Senegalese (2 Strand) Twists
Hi my lovelies!
Just a quick blog post about my Senegalese Twists.
I know a lot of people saw my rants and updates on my Facebook and Twitter with regards to it. Lol
My twists took 2 days to complete and was done by my wonderful mother.
It was her 1st attempt at the twists hence why it took so long.
My twists are very long, they are hip length!! I was going to cut it but I had so many people comment on how nice they are and how they love the length so I decided to keep it long. Lol
I threw together a quick collage of several pictures for you guys. I will do another update soon, showcasing how I maintain them and the different styles I do with the twists.
Bye for now!
Toodles!
