To Weave or Not to Weave?

Now THAT’S the question!! Don’t get me wrong ladies, I’m not knocking weaves. I’m just saying if you’re gonna rock one, do it right!! Just because your weave isn’t growing out of your scalp, does not mean it should look fake. A bad weave is one that does not match your natural hair texture, hair color, personality, or lifestyle.” So keep it classy (no tea, no shade).

  1. Your weave should match the texture of your hair. Meaning if your hair is kinky and curly, a silky/ straight type hair isn’t what you should purchase.
  2. We should NOT see where your hair meets your weave. NEVER let them see your tracks!!! Plus, keep those edges tight!! No mini- afros for hairlines.
  3. Condition! Condition! Condition! It’s crucial that you deep condition your hair before attaching a weave.
  4. GET A SEW IN!!! Try to stay away from glue. The chemicals in glue can lead to allergic reactions and most people ignore signs like inflammation and itching.

Just Be a Man About It

Now anybody that knows me KNOWS I love a well- dressed man!!! I’m talking about put together from head to toe.  Ladies, you know what I mean.  A well- groomed man turns heads, grabs attention and commands respect.  Another word to describe this is “metrosexual.” A metrosexual man is one with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. Fellas, to achieve this look there are a few things that one must do. So with that being said, here are a few tips to achieve this look.

  1. Wear clothing that fits and is neither too baggy nor too tight. If the clothing is suit or slacks, get them tailored to fit.
  2. Buy socks to match your outfit (NEVER wear white socks with dress pants…that ain’t hot!!!)
  3. Next time you’re getting chopped up, let your barber give you a professional shave. Hot towels, razor sharp blades and moisturizing lotions/ gels will have you looking like a boss!!
  4. Guys, it’s okay to get your nails/ feet done. I’m not saying get them polished (just buffed to a shine), but I am saying a nice mani/ pedi will make you feel like a new man. Plus, that pedicure massage chair is the business!!! #Winning
