Sybil’s Buttah

September 3, 2013 by Alisha 13 Comments

Well hello to all my curlies!  If you aren’t following me on Instagram, then you might have missed me chopping off Sybil even more.  Ever since I had to cut off heat damage from last December I’ve been flip-flopping on whether or not I want to grow my hair back out.  Well for now the answer is a big ol’ HECK NO!  haha  But my goal is to actually kick off with a challenge starting 01/01/14, stop cutting and get back on #teamgrowmyhair.

I’m always looking at different ways to grow as a blogger and businesswoman and was so excited when I had a chance to partner with Kj Naturals to make Sybil’s Buttah.  While we were working on making a great hair and body butter, I was informed that since I have a latex allergy that it might be a good idea to avoid natural, unrefined shea butter.  O_o  Huh?!?!  I had NEVER heard that before and decided to do a little research.

Shea butter is extremely well tolerated by most people. However, some people are allergic to substances which are normally considered harmless. For example, if you have a sensitivity to latex, you may react to Shea butter, which contains natural latex, although in very small quantities. A lot of oily fruits and nuts have natural latex derivatives, so if you have a latex sensitivity you’re likely to have issues with avocado, banana, chestnut, kiwi, raw potato, tomato, stone fruits (such as peach, plum, cherry) hazelnut, melons, celery, carrot, apple, pear, papaya, and almonds.  Not to say avoid all of these things, but definitely pay attention to anything out of the norm the next time you use Shea butter or have some of these food items.

A letter from Sybil

January 15, 2013 by Alisha 14 Comments

Hey Curlies!  Well Sybil and I are at it again.  She is still made at me for chopping her off.  She left this note for me that I wanted to share with you all:

“For one year you nurtured me and gave me all kinds of big, fluffy Afro life.  I started off as just a mere twinkle in your eyes as a micro TWA.  Then over the months, you learned how delicate I was and that I flourished when you used water-based products, trimmed me regularly and stayed away from “heat”.  Well well well… you just H A D to get me flat ironed last month…SMH.  Well that little stunt caused my crown to loose all of its kinky coil texture.  People recommended protein deep conditioning, but instead you chose to cut me all off.  Now I sit here sad and traumatized.  If you thought I was crazy before, you ain’t seen nothing yet!”

So er, uh… yeah I’m scared as a **** of Sybil right now.  I mean who leaves this kind of letter while they’re in their right mind.  I better not go messing with Sybil anymore if I know what’s good for me!

Please make sure and check out our latest video too!  Sybil said you all better watch or she might do something to me… (I’m scurred)!
