I went bar hopping last night in Auburn and this random white boy came up to me and squeezed my puff then grabbed me so he could kiss me on the head.  I was so insulted.  Firstly, it is rude to enter someone else’s bubble and grab their hair and kiss them.  Also, I am not some exotic animal for you to pet.  Don’t touch my hair!  It’s rude and racist.  I wanted to tell him he was a racist asshole but everyone was laughing and having a good time, I didn’t want to be a killjoy and cause a scene on the last girl’s night of the semester.  And I knew people would think I’m over reacting.  But I definitely don’t like that and if it happens again I might not be able to contain my rage.  As a black woman, I am not some pet that you can play with and touch whenever you want.

I used the technique, in the above video, two days ago and I have had the most epic curly afro. I much prefer to use Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie as my sole styler than putting gel on top. It gave good curl definition and left my hair feeling very moisturized however if you are looking for frizz reduction and strong hold this wouldn’t be best. In that situation gel would work better. Gel for a wash and go is just so gross in my hair. It takes forever to dry and is stiff. I think I much prefer curl creams.
Oh… and I’ve been using the curly girl method.  Nothing to say there yet.

***UPDATE- Using Curl Enhancing Smoothie as a sole-styler does not last as long as I would like.  I can get about 2 days of wearing it out (3 if I’m pushing it).  After that I have to either re-wash it or put it in a puff.  Adding gel on top makes it last longer but it weighs my hair down so it does not form the afro shape that I like and like stated before it can be a little gross to me.
