Dark Vs Light: The Summer Battle


I contemplated going from dark to light for a long time. You go through the usual questioning session where you ask everyone and they mumma "which color looks best on me?!" I love my hair dark given it's my natural hair color, not to mention it makes me feel spicy and dangerous. My light hair always makes me glow the brightest giving me a priceless top notch summer glow.

Going from dark to light isn't an easy process especially when your hair is dark. I'm speaking from experience when I say I tried to do it myself before (picture carrot top) and lets just say nothing beats pro help. Summer is here ladies, change it up and get your sexy on. Huge thank you to my girls at Chiggy's Touch who hooked me up to the max ♥

Hair me out

You wash & style your hair and it looks FABULOUS...for that day at least for me, the next day is oooookay, the third day FORGETABOUTIT! My hair type gets oily at the root ONLY and I hate that because my hair remains styled but the roots are BLAH.
If you have the same issue as I do, I have a solution for you my friend :)
I have been using this dry shampoo (I get it at Shoppers for about $7) for a while now, it's such an easy fix, spray, rub in with hands and GO!

You're welcome,

L'Oreal x Beyonce

I came across this comment:

"this just instantly infuriated me. why would they have beyonce who only wears custom made wigs gonna do this commercial for a product anyone with a first grade education knows she’s never used on her real hair LET ALONE her $1million dollar hair collection she keeps in a climate controlled closet. false advertising at its finest."

You know what? very true but wig or not....Damn B.
L'Oreal def. knows what they're doing...Beyonce WILL sell their products. Will people get beyonce's wig color?? That is highly doubtful lol

Chiggy's Toronto

Hey ladies *bats eyelashes*
I'm in a sexy mood because i just got my hair done :)
My BFF shannae gave me the heads up so I had to give it a try and I am beyond impressed.

Given all the hair questions I get from all of you I decided to take pictures of the hair process (very brave of me but I love yous and better late than never) so here you go:

Natural hair washed and blow dried, not straightened (clearly) and excuse the no make up swag

The parting/braiding process, as you can see i get the middle of my head done (partial), i little is left from the bottom (so i can be able to put it up in a pony tail) and the top (to have it fall on top of the braids)

The after result, I used two packs of the virgin straight hair in 22-24 (first time going that long) and don't judge my morning face.

Back view

This is the package the hair comes in.

*ahem* being Moroccan and all I left with some Moroccan oil products (they are the TRUTH!)

Not only is what I paid to get it done nearly half of what I  used to pay, but it's the bomb.com I'm walking around looking like a REAL yet better version of Kim Kardashian (lol you know they get weaved up too). 
Chiggy's work with ALL hair types. Even if you have long hair already and you just wanna give it that sexy  long/full victoria secret look, you walk in there get you a couple of rows and you are good to go.

Tell Patience that Zineb sent you for the ultimate hook up! (details at the bottom of the post)


Chiggy's Touch Salon in downtown Toronto. They've been featured on ET Canada and Cosmo TV. The owner, Patience is a very inspirational and successful young woman.

Its $130 to put in a weave, they use the net method that celebs like Gabby U rave about and its the method most commonly used in New York. The "Net Method" allows your weave last longer and it protects your braids from being pulled or damaged underneath! 
They work with all hair colours and types (white girls, black girls, asian girls- come one come all!) and they can do everything!



Chiggys is located at 184 Davenport Rd (Lower Level) Toronto and their Phone Number is (416) 619-5477.  

They also offer standard hair styling services and in fact, they are best known for doing Curly Hair 

Chiggy's will give you 10% off of regular products and services
(They carry everything - Mixed Chicks, Moroccan Oil, you name it!) 

They also sell their own Virgin Hair and if you get your weave done at Chiggy's they will give you "Buy one pack, get the second pack for 50%" 

Feel free to give Chiggy's a call at 416-619-5477 to book your appointment or visit ChiggyOnline.com. And if downtown is out of the way, they also have a location in Barrie... ask about it!



Thank you Shannae and Chiggy's !!!!!

Fave Reader: Lexx

"Ok so hella random but this is fav reader lexx. I see that you lightnd your hurrr that was once upon a time black. How you get it to lightn up? I have been tryn for the longest at home on my own of course lol. Any ideas? Thanks hella! Xoxo lexx Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry" Hey Lexx! I have actually been asked this question a lot, I was coloring my hair with black (jet black) dye all the time and when i wanted to go light i stopped coloring my hair for about 3 months, i wanted to do it myself but with the horrible experiences i have had before i said no way I'm just going to ruin it. I went to the hair salon, sat for a consultation and the hair dresser said "NO WAY sorry your hair is dyed JET BLACK with the box color there is NO WAY we can lift it to light brown PLUS it's damaged" I told her i knew my hair and if she did not want to do it i would simply go to shoppers, grab bleach, bleach my hair and come back to beg her to fix it when its all orange and patched up, she actually believed me and agreed to try to lift it. She stripped the color, meaning she lifted it and the highest level she could lift it to was a brown, it wasn't a LIGHT brown but it was a chocolate brown, not black at least, then i asked her to put A LOT of highlights so that its brighter/lighter to show more, so basically my base is a chocolate brown and its full of blonde highlights and TADAAAA you get this. (Extensions not included lol) I spent about $150, i just went to a hair salon at the mall, but if you reaaaaaaaaally want to do it at home which i DO NOT suggest you do, you get someone to do it for you at home, buy bleach put it in your hair and have them WATCH it like a hawk to make sure the color lifts a lil (prob 5-7 min) wash then (wait about 48hrs) to highlight, it will damage the shit out of your hair so i really think it's best to go to the hairdresser. HOPE THAT HELPED!!! xoxo, Neb
