The Importance of a Vote

I am sure we are all VERY aware of the political climate today.  I try to stay out of hot topic debates over politics and policies, but there is one thing that I urge everyone to do.  VOTE!  Our people's people sacrificed their lives for our right to vote and we must not take that sacrifice in vain.  Whether you're Democrat, Republican, Independent or other, you should utilize your ability to have a voice, a say, an opinion in the way of our world.  Voting is your opportunity to do so.

I will say that President Obama has brought our country a long way from when he took office.  However, the job is not yet done.  Realistically we knew it was going to take more than one term to pull us out of the downward slide that our economy was in, thanks to the previous policies that were in play.  We need transparency, we need leadership, we need to continue on the path of change, to restore greatness back to our country.  This is a learning experience for everyone, I don't think anyone in this generation has had to see what previous generations had been through...but we are moving forward!

I would encourage all of the readers of This Hair of Mine to make sure you are registered to vote.  The registration deadline in Texas is October 9th, but you can check your particular state guidelines HERE.  There's no reason we should not be involved in the outcome of this election.  No only should you register, you also need to VOTE...doesn't make sense to register and not use your voice.

Natural Hair Care: The Art of Dusting- Trimming Natural Hair

This is a great article on trimming or "dusting" your ends...I've talked about this often, even done a video (an old, OLD video lol!)  I like the way it's explained here for those who are curious about how I maintain my hair.  This is not to say that you may not need a professional trim every once in a while, but dusting is a great way to keep splits at bay.

It's the 1st of the Month!

Not only is it the 1st, it's a Monday, and it's the 1st day of the last quarter of 2012.

Talk about a lot going on!

As I sit in my apartment...typing...trying to gather my thoughts after what can only be described as a spectacular week, I'm reminded as to why I started blogging in the first place.

Natural hair itself is one thing, but it is SO much more than that, especially if you were involved with Fro Fashion Week.  This really was an experience like no other, so excuse me while I attempt to put it into words.

Since I've been up all kinds of hours these past few days, I'm just going to drop a few golden nuggets of knowledge on you...just a few things I picked up ;)

DO LOOK BOTH WAYS!!!! Cannot stress this enough...thank you Jess :)
