Marjorie Joyner, a black woman invented a machine that gave curls that last for days!

Infatuated with those curls? Obssessed with curls? Looking at the lady in the
magazine wondering how can I get those curls? Ask a beautician and then you
tell me. I want to know, too! I’m not a hairstylist. I’ve done women’s hair before
but my work is so basic. I know I can’t work with hard to style hair. I wish I could. I wonder
if I should become a beautician. That will take away a lot of my hair problems.
I would just be chilling, relaxing all care free. But I myself would make sure my
hair is done. Anyways, I want to give tribute to a black woman who changed
the hair game for the better. Her name is Marjorie Joyner.
She was introduced to Madame C J Walker, a black hair care products
entrepreneur. Walker owned about 200 hair salons. She died in 1919 and
Marjorie headed the Madam CJ. Walker Beauty Colleges. In the 1920s, black
women had serious issues with their hair. If they wanted to straighten
their tightly curled hair, they would have to use a stove heated
curling iron. Then, Marjorie comes along and speeds up the process
and also makes it easier as well as more efficient.
Her vision was of serveral curling irons above a woman’s head
that would work in unison to straighten her hair all at once. Joyer abruptly
had this idea In her head. Joyner said “It all came to me in the kitchen
when I was making a pot roast one day, looking at these long thing rods that
hld the pot roast together and heated from the inside. I figured you could
use them like hair rollers, then heat them up to cook a permanent
curl into the hair.”
Therefore, she straightened and curled in a very easy manner.
She approached this solution by putting 16 rods adjacent to each other.
They were connected to the electric cord inside of a drying hood. A customer
would wear the hood for a certain amount of time. Thus, the hair was either
straightened or curled. She started working on her invention in
1926 and after two years of trial and error, it was all finished. In
1928, she got a patent for her device named the Permanent
Waving Machine. This device was bestselling and auspicious (successful).
The curl stayed in the hair for days. On the other hand, a curl from as
single iron would last only a day.

THerefore, she was a success just like her inventions. We all want
that hairstyle that’s on point to match our nice outfit. We never
want to walk around with half the look. Even on a casual day,
when we wear our hair nice, we look nice! Hair is the first thing
we see!

Prodigyrls is a collection of professional career oriented black dolls to inspire black children!

Prodigyrls is a new thing…not like what I’ve ever heard
before. The name itself sounds like a success. I would love
to see a commercial of it. It sounds like something that
could form trends. People everywhere will be asking
did you get your prodigyrls dolls yet?

The reason why I love Prodigyrls is because it shows
little black girls that they are special. I mean they grow
up to be the MOST beautiful women anyways. We are
watched for our uniqueness……let that settle in your
mind. Take it and run with it like a baseball player
doing a homerun.

Prodigyrls is a line of dolls with real genuine facial
features, skin tones, hair, and has many accomplishments
along with them.

Nicole is a black doll which has brown skin and thick
curly hair. She wears pink scrubs and a white lab coat.

Janelle is a black chef doll…she is very enthusiastic about
diet and excercise.

Joy is all about justice. She has a honey colored tone and
golden brown type of wavy hair.

Denise is a black doll interested in chemistry…Why?
She wants to learn how to detangle hair. Therefore,
after months of trial and error she comes up with
a formula for the detangling problem.

The Dr. Daniela Wiggins is a black woman and
Anesthesiologist really disappointed about the lack
of quality black dolls for her daughter. So she
developed her own line of Black dolls with different
hair styles and things of that nature.

I sure I am tired of the lack of black dolls…So I really
adore that this woman did this….She is the type of
person you write about…but oh duh….Im jotting
about her in this post….

She is a true inspiration to black people, especially
black girls and black babies. OUR black people will
enjoy it!

What I particularly love about these dolls is that
they show diversity in hairstyles so that shows
them freedom to look like they look naturally.
In addition, it is more than a set of black dolls,
these dolls are dolls with stories of aspirations
and goals! Take a goal, keep a goal!

Does your child have one of these dolls already
or a black doll in general?

What determines curly or straight hair? This I’ve always wondered!!

I have two types of hair. I have fine hair in the back and
really think and kinky hair at the top. My dad brings in the
fine hair and mom brings in the kinky hair.

So recently I’ve wondered what determines curly
hair or straight hair. An Australian group of scientists found
that trichohyalin tells whether your hair is straight or curly.

So for those who leave dna at a crime scene, they
will know their hair type.

Technology is so superb, they can even tell a baby’s
hair type before they are even before.

And digg this, they can possibly develop medications
that change hair texture without the use of perms
of straighteners. That sounds really interesting
but then if I ever see a medicine that changes
hair textures I would seriously investigate it
for health reasons. But anyways, I’m fine
with the hair texture God gave me.

I would hope this work for other people’s sake without
any side effects. I would hope this would be healthier.

I mean, who else wonders what determines straight and
curly hair? I know I’m not the only one…

Saxygurl brings style and class in her personal style and her hairstyle!

How many styles are there in the world?

How many angles can you form these styles? What do these styles remind you

of. Let’s start off with Saxygurl’s hairstyle.

Saxygurl is the hippest, most creative and

beautiful woman. She has the longest hair.

I wish my hair was her length. I would walk

many miles for hair like that. In the above

video, she is braiding her hair bottom to top.

It’s like the cornrow updo. I really enjoy

this updo. I even do my updos too. I have

the face for them and as you can see from

the video, so does she. Saxygurl does her

cornrowing. Then she pins it

up. It’s like a combination of roses, and one

of the those really gorgeous instruments.

She wears it so well, with the most

elegant and jazzy accessories. She is the

style, beauty, dress icon, and modeling

everything to the T. Much applause to this

beautiful woman. She’s got alot of great

ideas. After all, that’s why I’m subscribed to

her. Like her, I do my own hairstyles. I

admire this about her. Oh, what I could do

with hair that length? I do alot with my

length,but her length is something to ride

home about. It’s definitely an attention

getter.

Once you see her hairstyles, the image

will be locked in. I’m such a fan.

The Hair Bead Slyder lessens the time you bead hair!!

I am truly impressed with the types, styles, colors, of many different beads. Beads really accentuate a look on braids. To be able to braid small braids is a dexterous(skillful) task. I would love to learn to braid hair like our black people in Africa, America, and everywhere else around the globe.
So if you enjoy braids and want beads, I have an easy solution for you all. I sometimes ask myself, what is it that can be done to make a hairstyle
take less time?

I never heard about this tool until day, so its fresh knowledge. It speeds
the beading process.The name of this product is the Hair Bead slyder.
Therefore you can apply beads to every single braid and twist.
It simplifies the hair beading process.

Well, we know how some people so skilled, they can
breeze right through braiding. Well, this bead slyder can breeze
you through the beading without extra effort. We know using
the hand to bead up hair can take hours. Well, slash the time, or
cut the time down.

At the end of the usually vigorous process, you just need
to take the SLyders and slide the beads onto the hair,
secure it with a rubber band and you are all done.

And now……..

The process………….

1. Slide the beads onto the Slyder in your desired pattern and
color, and make sure to leave an opening at the top.

2. After the braid is finished, the end of the braid needs to go
through the opening and folded around the thread toward the rest
of the braid.

3. Using your other hand, push the beads off the top portion
of the Slyder onto the braid. Keep these same steps in motion
until you are finished beading.

4. To really speed up the process, you can have the person
getting their hair done beading several Slyders as you
are braiding. Now to make sure the beads do splatter all
over the place, use small rubberbands.

Personally, it looks like a fun product to use. IT is amazing that
the best ideas can start off as small and turn into a big invention.
Be sure to click on styles after you read the process to see
what creativity people’s mind have formed.

Explore the African American Military Bands are Black people were in!!

There’s nothing like a band
to show school pride. It’s the right thing
to turn an ordinary day into a fun day.

It’s like bands get our interested piqued as people.
It’s one thing to watch a band stroll through but to be in one
that’s like an honor. I was in a parade, not a band, but
close enough.

So behind all the African American bands is a history.
To start, the American music industry began publishing
music by Black composers after the Civil War. These
works were either on a general music site or a site
devoted completely to African American music. They
consist of voice, piano, or piano solo.

African American Band Music and Recordings 1883-1923,
draws on material from the Library of Congress copyright
deposits show types of instrumental ensemble, one
for band and for what musicians call theater orchestra or
hotel orchestra.

Publishers made stocks reserved for the
biggest hits. For example, John Church,
regularly published John Philip Sousa’s
marches in piano two hands, piano four
hands, piano six hands, orchestra,military band;
zither solo; zither duet; mandolin solo; mandolin
and piano; mandolin and guitar; mandolin–piano and guitar;
two mandolins and piano; two mandolins and guitar;
guitar solo; banjo duet; banjo solo; banjo and piano.

This is my first time hearing about it, But there is a such
thing as military bands. The African AMerican Band
Music And Recordings , 1883 to 1923 are for a military
band. That involves a band with several woodwind players
instead of a brass band

Military bands were not only carried out by the military but
these bands were a everyday part of civil life
in the 20th century. The Bandstands in which military
bands played still stand in village greens and town square
of American towns. These areas have loud traffic noise.

The instrumentation of the military band requires a
smaller ensemble than the current American concert
bands. Though most of the instruments are the same,
it’s the E flat horns that are different. The
E flat horns are doubled by instruments in
modern bands.

Molly Green and Montague Ring pieces are
specifically for English concert band. These
pieces in particular need re instrumentation before
being played by an American band. It’s amazing how
bands are, bands show unity and how we as people
work together and push forward. This and
there is more to learn here:

African Hairstyles:How many designs can make out of cornrows? These ways and more!

We all know about the expertise of Our Black people in braiding hair, looks, fashion, talent, invention

and everything you could think

of that’s professional and great.

I would like to particularly point out

such creative designs in cornrows.

          What’s great about people who

are hair stylist is that they make good money. That’s money everyday for them. Lord knows that having money everyday is the best way to live. Waiting a week or 2 weeks to get a check is slow.

           But being a licensed hair professional is the glamorous life. Even if a person has hair skills but no license, that’s good to have. Getting hair done is on the most popular list. Cornrows allows for a long list of styles. How many ways can hair be done with

cornrows? Take a look. You can have fun with them.
