Let's Talk Hair!

February 27, 2010 by Kim S. / blog / 8 Comments

I cut my hair short (gradually got shorter) April 26, 2008. It’s almost two years since I’ve had a short haircut. I’m now contemplating on whether or not I should let it grow out into a bob or longer. I like the short cut, but after two years, I am BORED!

A lot of people, whether on the street, on blogger, or just my friends/family have commented on my hair & how nice it looks. I figured I’d let everyone know who does it, and the products I use to maintain my hair in between my weekly(yes, weekly) salon visits.

Hair Stylist: Sonia (Has been keeping my hair on-point since JHS!)
Salon: Soketah Hair Divas
Location: 563 Myrtle Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11205

***I’m not putting prices because it varies depending on where you go. The Affirm products I get from Irby Beauty Supply They’ve been the cheapest I’ve seen so far.

Relaxer: Avlon Affirm FiberGuard

Conditioner(s): Avlon Affirm FiberGuard Sustenance Fortifying Treatment (used after relaxer), Queen Helene Super Cholesterol Hair Conditioning Cream (it makes my hair feel super soft!)
