Guess Who’s Bizackkkk?!?!

Greetings my AMAZING followers!!! I want to apologize for that wayyyy too long hiatus but I am back!!!! I had to take care of some things like…get a degree. Lol I just graduated from Penn State university with a bachelors of science degree in Accounting from the highly ranked Smeal College of Business. I am über hype and so proud of myself!!

In addition to graduating I put on a huge fashion show that took about 5-6 months to plan. I also did a seminar on hair similar to the hairy truth content for the ladies of penn state. Each event was a success(pics soon). So as you can see I’ve been busy!

Anywho on to the important stuff…MY HAIR!!! I will do a post on my updates and current progression. I am soooo excited to be back to blogging and sharing my hair Journey with all of you. Look out for an updated blog that makes maneuvering through the site easy as well as cute styles, new updates, and great posts!!! Stay tuned loves!!!!!

pinkrosez asked: Hi, do you recommend any vitamin supplements to promote hair growth and strength?

Hi, thanks for your question! Honestly, I have personally never tried vitamin supplements for hair growth. However, in the midst of my initial research I came across various testimonies. Apparently products like biotin do indeed provide positive results. I say, why not but do some personal research before choosing and using. Hope this helps.

Anonymous asked: Hey! I really love your blog about hair. Hair is my obsession too. I have two questions. Ever since I dyed my hair lighter, my front broke off really bad. The hair color has grown out but seems like it taking it forever to grow longer. Do you think cutting it and starting all over is a good idea? Or just a protective style using good products. And what are good products for breakage?

Heyyyy!!! Thank you so much! Yes, hair is everything lol I’m sorry to hear about your color, dye/chemicals tend to take a toll on our hair. As far as whether or not you should cut it or not…depends on how damaged the hair is. Are there split ends? are the ends rough and brittle? Are the ends thin? Etc if your ends particularly are in bad shape I’d suggest cutting and starting fresh because once hair is damaged it is damaged. I would definitely recommend protein treatments to rebuild the strength in your hair. Aphogee 2 step treatment is a great heavy protein product! Once you’ve done that moisture is important to combat dryness and breakage as well.thats my opinion. I hope it all works out for you. And in the future try rinses :)

UPDATES: HIATUS ENDING SOON

mizz-bee asked: Hey Sally, this is Bimpe. Finally on here to ask a question! First off, I'm extremely jealous of your hair, I LOVE IT!!! Anyways, I eventually cut my hair cuz it was really damaged, of different lengths and it was hard to style and maintain. So now I want to know what I can do to actually start growing it out and keep it healthy. What do I need to do, what products do I need, where can I get them and any other info you can give. I'm still relaxed btw. Thanks!!! :)

Helloooo my love!!!!

Thankkk you!!! But don’t be jealous hun, your hair can look the exact same. Sometimes you need a fresh cut and a fresh start to attain the length and health you need for your hair, so good move.

Okay, to answer your question there is a lot you can do. The blog essentially goes through everything that you need to do. Let me give you some basics then show you some main links.

1. you need to make sure your hair is moisturized at all times and sealed with a natural oil. Make sure your hair is shampooed with a sulfate free shampoo.

2. Maintain and protein/moisture balance alternating between light protein and moisturizing conditioners.

3. Do monthly clarifying shampoos and hard protein treatments.

4. Most importantly, to retain length…PROTECTIVE STYLE!!!!

Thats everything in a nutshell. Check out these links.

The Hairy Truth

kingtai asked: Hey Sally! What are some products that you recommend for breakage and even protective styles for hair that broke off?

Hey girl!!

Products for breakage: Aphogee line of products, shampoos and conditioners. If you’re experiencing breakage its probably due to dry hair and lack of protein. You will need to nurse it to health. Start with a hard protein treatment (ahogee 2 step) and follow with a very moisturizing conditioner. After your protein treatment keep up alternating washed with light protein(ORS Olive Oil replenishing) and moisturizing conditioner.

Protrective Styles: Any thing that keeps your hair off of your shoulders or keeping it from being exposed to the environment is a protective style. Here’s my post on Protective Styles
