Bun and Bang (Faux Real!!)

This is not me, but her hair just gave me life Protective styling, I do it and I don't. I hate it and I love it. I love the hands off idea, I love the idea of potential growth(length), but I despise the process. Well, I may have found an answer to my problem. A faux bun and bang.

I used marley hair, can't remember the brand, some kind of olive oil leave-in for the install. I shampooed weekly with watered down cantu shampoo and conditioner and moisturized (sometimes)with watered down hawaiian silky 14 n 1.

Off Topic Madness-BV Again

Off the topic- BV,again. Why in world does a woman have to suffer from this?? Is it because she's promiscuous? A skank,or has had multiple partners, or a minaj #NICKI or likes it rough ? Well...yes, that COULD be her problem, or maybe not. Maybe her body is too alkaline, or susceptible to candida. Is she vitamin deficient, is she taking antibiotics, or does she just not have a clue that she should be wiping from FRONT to BACK? An AHA moment--thanks Oprah!! Even though we know the cause of said problem, can it be prevented?I would say no, as it is a result of upset of a womans normal vaginal flora...you know, the bacteria lives inside you 24/7 and keeps you healthy. Of course you knew that, right? Lactobacillus spp. lives right there inside keeping you nice and normal by producing lactic acid all day, everyday. Lactic acid kills off the ish that don't belong there. Read more about BV here. Is it possible to increase the lactic acid production in your body by changing
