Drawstring Ponytail Protective Style and Product Review

1BlessedNatural: Here's the back part of the ponytail 

Happy Thursday, my blessed naturals!
It's almost Friday! This week, I did another protective style. This time it was with a curly drawstring ponytail. I used the Ponydo Drawstring "Curlable"ponytail by Motown Tress. The style code is PD-AFRO-5. and #1 color.

1BlessedNatural: Drawstring Ponytail Protective Style and Product Review 
  Style Details 

After moisturizing and sealing my hair, I parted 3 diagonal sections of hair in the front, applied Eco Styler gel, and secured them with black rubber bands. The back was placed in a bun. Then I took about 5 sections of Marley hair and braided the 3 sections off to the right. The remaining part of the hair was wrapped around the bun in the back.


The Ponytail



Product: Ponydo Drawstring 

Price: $12.99

Place: Local beauty supply store or Amazon

Other Details: Synthetic Hair

After my hair was put into a medium-size bun, I opened the ponytail up. There is a small comb at the bottom of it (just like most wigs) to help keep it in my place.

I slid the comb underneath the bun and pulled the drawstring. It also has a little toggle to lock the string in place. (Note: Be sure the cup of the ponytail is securely placed over your bun before pulling the strings.) Then I wrapped the strings around the base on my bun and tucked them and the toggle. 

I wanted to be sure that thing did not fly off LOL, so I also put some bobby pins in it. In all, I am happy with the ponytail. I tie my hair up every night with a satin scarf. I also put the hair net that comes with the ponytail on before going to sleep. I've slept on the hair and the curls stay. In the morning, I fluff them out with my fingers and go!

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...
