Hair Diary App for Women of Color


Growing Locs, doing the BC or Transitioning is an on going process. For me, it can be difficult  to get a good healthy regiment down and stick to it. I'm still very much in the experimental stage, well...aren't we all? So, while experimenting with hair products, hair styles or home remedies, it can be down right frustrating sometimes.

But,  Nicolle Epps, Fonder and CEO of BlackHairMedia.com has come up with a solution girls, called My Black Hair Diary. This app allows women of color to track their salon appointments, hair growth, and share them all through social communities on the go like Facebook and Twitter.
What I love about this app is that it helps me keep record of the hair products I use, which in turn, can be a source of help when trying to identify what works well for my hair and what doesn't. For the Hair Product Junkies like myself, this app is for you!

My Black Hair Diary cost a reasonable price of $1.99. I usually don't buy any apps more than .99 cents, but I thought if I'm willing to buy an app that monitors my menstrual cycle for $6 (I'll do a post on that later) I can support my sista and buy My Black Hair Diary, which is now available now on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. Coming to Android soon.  Check it Ouuuuttttt :)

Jill Scott-Fierce!


I've always been a huge Jill Scott fan. The soulfulness of her voice the rawness of her music is one of a kind. She is one of the few soul and R&B artist out there that is still putting out quality material. And lets not forget her natural beauty, this woman's style is always fierce, and she doesn't disappoint with her new album cover. Jill Scott, channeling the 70"s meet 80"s, showcased her style in her first video out called "Shame (featured Eve and The A group), rocking the 70's sequenced dress with door knocker earrings. Get it girl!


Now, what I really want to talk about is Jills HAIR! When I first saw the Shame video, I was like I WANT THAT HAIR! For some of you newly transitioners or BC's I'm sure your ultimate goal is to get beautiful curly or wavy hair like in the above picture. I know I do, so when i saw the video i was mesmerized, but sadden at the same time thinking  my hair may never look like that. 
But, not all hope is lost girls. Jill Scott is rock-en a weave! Well, I'm no professional so it maybe a wig or hair pieces, but bottom line it isn't her hair. Which gives me hope that if I spend a few dollars (more like hundreds)  I can achieve the look above. What do you guys think?


Here is Jill's real hair in the picture above, which is still fierce. Ladies, it really is how you carry yourself. Jill just oozes out beauty in whatever style she rocks her hair. That confidence that she exudes is what you should really aspire to have. Side note, I need those glasses. 

Check out her new song with Anthony Hamilton, called "So in Love" where she rocks the cute short hair cut. 



                  Jill Scott's new album, The Light of the Sun comes out June 28th. You can pre-order her album on itunes for $13. Do not steal the album people, please support her!
