My Review of Season 2/Episode 3 of Cutting It in the ATL






Hey, my blessed naturals!
Who else saw the craziness on Season 2/Episode 3 ( Don't Reign on My Parade) of Cutting It in the ATL? (Raises hand) ME! This week, the women attended a parade and things got ridiculous, again!

1BN's Thoughts: Stop It!


The episode begins with Dedra and Pat at a cafe talking about the drama between Pat and Maja. Dedra was loving the fact that Pat messed up Maja's shop. I wonder if Pat went after any of the owners of the other $50.00 weave spots... Meanwhile, Maja tells Beautii about Pat's visit to her salon. She also invites Beautii to the Magic City Classic parade in Birmingham, AL, because she is being honored by her alma mater, Alabama's A&M University.

Maja presents Beautii with the challenge of selling 100 tickets to her mobile salon to prove her business is one that Maja should invest in, and Beautii is up for the challenge.

Next, Mushiya invites LaKenya to the parade in Birmingham. She also says she's going to educate the state on natural hair! I was laughing to myself because they are the home of one of the biggest natural hair shows in the U.S: The Natural Hair and Health Expo. You gotta love her confidence though! LOL.

1BN's Thoughts: LMBO! How long did it take LaKenya to learn that song?



Mushiya tells LaKenya she is too easy going. She also says that Maja bullies LaKenya. At this point in the show, I was dying with laughter! Mushiya must have forgotten how she treated LaKenya last season when she got in her face and crashed her party. In her confessional, she says she is going to get Maja back for bullying her new business partner.

On their way to the parade, the two salon owners stop at a salon so that Mushiya can do a presentation. BTW: Did anyone catch LaKenya singing Mushiya's song? LMBO! How long did it take her to learn it???

Mushiya's not impressed with the inside or outside of the press and curl salon. There was a sign posted in the shop that said "No Profanity", but that's not stopping Mushiya, lol. Not only is she cursing, but she's also insults the salon owner, customers, and stylists. She even laughs when the salon owner says they are a natural hair salon, because she feels they don't deal with the natural texture of the hair. I guess that's something to think about...

Dedra has a bonding session at her salon with her mother. It's nice to see them getting along. Last season, the mom of three revealed that she didn't have a great relationship with her mother.


 1BN's Thoughts: What is this???.... Rude! 

Next, Maja and beauty are at the parade waiting for Maja's float to arrive. The truck with the float was stuck blocks away from the parade, so the two salon owners start decorating an SUV with Maja's promo banners. While Maja is stressing, Mushiya shows up. Perfect timing! LOL Mushiya goes back and forth with Beautii. I was cracking up when Maja asks Mushiya if her entourage could help her decorate! 

Mushiya plays loud music and sits on one of Maja's friends' car. When Maja asks Mushiya to chill, her husband jumps in. Maja's float arrives along with kids who are rocking her brand's t-shirts. Still, Mushiya has no chill button. She has risqué and profane parade banners and is being a mess. When LaKenya tries to tell her to stop, she refuses. So, LaKenya does the unthinkable and gives herself a haircut. I was like : Nooooo! Then she tells Mushiya she doesn't want to be an ambassador for her brand anymore.

It's funny because Mushiya says that she behaves the way she does to teach people lessons about business, but throws shade the whole way! 

1BN's Thoughts: LaKenya, make sure you have a ride first! 


Then LaKenya joins Beautii and Maja on the float and tells them what happened. However, Maja is still not feeling her, and LaKenya becomes known as the "flip-flopping traitor." By this point, I'm wondering if LaKenya has a ride back home LOL. Maja says she is going to do the decent thing and give her one, but she also plans to teach her a lesson. Yikes! Beautii gives LaKenya a talk about loyalty and fixes her hair.

Dedra and Tre Stylez catch up on all of the drama between the ladies. Beautii sets up her booth after the parade and struggles to get clients coming in. Of course, Mushiya sets up her booth right next to Beautii's and blasts her theme song, singing and all! Maja notices Beautii doesn't have any customers and decides not to invest in her idea. In her confessional, Maja reveals that she did admire Mushiya's hustle, even though her delivery is off At least she's a good sport about it... Maja can separate business and personal issues, and I like that about her. It's so crazy to see Black business women be catty! Hopefully, they will get it together, or maybe they won't LOL. 

The next episode comes on next Thursday 10/9C on We tv!

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category.  The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk

1BlessedNatural: Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk (photo cred: CBS/The Talk) Yesterday, comedian and talk show host, Sheryl Underwood wore her natural hair onstage of the talk show, The Talk. She received a round of applause, and Sharon Osbourne commented that her Teenie Weenie Afro (TWA) was gorgeous. Underwood explained to her fellow co-hosts and audience that she'd done something wrong 2 years ago when she spoke against the actions of Heidi Klum for keeping her sons' Afro hair in a bag as a keepsake. She said the hair was "nasty." Underwood received backlash for her words, especially from the Black community. They were viewed as examples of self-hatred among other things. On Monday's episode of The Talk Sheryl Underwood apologized a second time for her 2013 statement by saying this: I made some statements that were not only wrong, they hurt our community. When I say, "our community," I mean Black ...

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
