Heat Weave

Unless you've been hiding in a fridge, you would have noticed that we are in the midst of a heatwave, with temperatures this weekend set to reach a sweltering 31°C, dunno what that is in Fahrenheit.. but i know it's gonna be as "hot as hell"..

I'm personally looking forward to enjoying the glorious sunshine, go for a long drive, sunglasses on with some Teedra playing...

I know many of the ladies are planning to bring out that maxi-dress or those batty-riders... I can't wait.

But... there are a few that aren't looking forward to the heat, rather than getting out and enjoy it, they will be seeking refuge in the shade, fearing for the well-being of their beloved WEAVE.

I always wondered why the habitual weave-wearers went missing every summer, and now I know that it's because their hairstyle of choice isn't exactly heat-friendly...

This revelation dawned on me during a recent trip to Miami. The heat over there was blistering... I witnessed a number of sweated out weaves... frizzy afros and even a saggy lace-fronts being undone by melted glue.. maybe she should have carried that 'Pritt Stick' in her handbag..

Anyway, the sun isn't the only reason that weaves are being sweated out...

Fellas, don't you just love when your girl comes round after a trip to the hair dressers... with her hair looking so brand new... and after a night of emotional loving.... she leaves in the morning with her weave, perm or jheri-curl sweated out. looking like Blanka from Street Fighter... Send her ass straight back to the hairdressers...

The things women do for their men. Gotta love it... There was a time when I didn't fully understand black girl hair.. and I still don't but finally I understand the purpose of a "head-tie"...



I was gonna get at the excessive make-up wearers, but i'll spare them (save it for another blog), all i'm gonna say is... apply in moderation... otherwise you're gonna melt this summer...

Miami was great, by the way.. very hot but great. I acquired a different type of complexion over there... I am a fully fledged member of team dark-skin but I came back with a tan and a new nickname.. "Oreo Cookie". how cruel... plus an American girl accused me of being Haitian...

Anyway, I'm off to enjoy my weekend... you should do the same..
