I’m Getting Ready for Hair Wars

1 FOR THE MONEY,.. 2 FOR THE SHOW HONEY,..3 TO GET READY BROTHER,.. lets all go to the Hair Show.

I’m getting for Hump the Grinder’s April 28th Hair show @ the Ford Community of Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Ave., Dearborn, Michigan.

6:05 pm is the starting time.

After, 20 years this will be my first Hair Wars show wearing a Barber Cut Style, which i don’t mind,… giving me chance to switch up in style.

I’m blessed to able to grow a full head of Hair,…taking after my Daddy, R.I.P., but for this Musical show I’m going to keep it low with some Musical Notes all around my head to represent Design Harmony for this special Musical show.

I think, i found someone to give me what i want in a Design Cut, after letting my fingers do the waking though Billy Cason’s, Hair Design Magazine and choose 3 among the many in the book i narrowed it down to one.

His name is ROD, the Barber @ the Main Attraction 17700 Fenkell, I made an appointment with him for next week, he said he can cut any design and by Faith,…I believe him.

It was 1985

Every Word of Worship

It was 1985, a very good year and the beat was alive and hot…down in the D,… up in the Night Clubs, in Detroit.

I was doing the Bump and the Stomp on the dance floor , and suddenly, the house lights came on, and the DJ, shouting it’s a Hair Show about to begin!!!

Move the tables and the chairs, it’s a Hair Show party about to happen up here in this Night Club tonight, down in the D.

It was a Hump the Grinders “Party Gimmick” to keep the party going on…up in the Club’s, down in the D.
It was the beginning of Hair Wars and more.

What, turned out as a 4 week Hair Promotion is still going on, around the World today.

The Begining of Fantasy Square Island

THE PLANE BOSS, the plane
I’m writing a song with the idea of Fantasy on my mind and Hair Designs that are Fantasy.

It’s, a story about a Hair show on Fantasy Square Island, smack dab in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.
The Bermuda Triangle, were men and ships have been lost sea and still is a Mystery.
We, got Ali Du’Shua with his Fantasy barbeque Grill style, and Keith from the Beauty Village with something Sweet, with his Tossie Roll and a few more Stylists just waiting to join the fun.
Once, I contact all of the Stylists that are invited to this Fancy affair gathering, all on Fantasy Square Island I can continue on with the making of this story.
FANTASY Square Island, where the story is make-believe, and the styles are really real.

I LIKE WHAT YOU DO TO THAT HAIR

 

I was in a Salon the other day, no need to mention no names.
For, you see, their ALL the same to me, beauty of enhancement…the Salon.
The Salon was busy and everyone was working Styling hair giving the Salon flair.
The phone was ring, off the hook and walk ins were still coming in.
As, I looked around the Salon ALL I could say to myself is…”I like how they were Styling that Hair, they were cutting it right and coloring it bright”.
Wraps, Cut and Curl, Weaves and Poni tales…

I Still Have a Dream

I still have a Dream.

 Soon, real soon, this Dream will become a reality.

It’s an imaginary Dream, but ,yet so real to me, and real in the hearts, minds and souls in Hundreds of Hair Stylist’s living in Detroit.

It’s a Dream, that Detroit will be one day known for more, than a Motor City, or even a Motown Sound.

This Dream is deeply rooted in the Cosmetology Student Handbook.

A Dream where every French roll will be rolled high, and every hair and strand  neatly in place.

The kind of Dream where there will be no more long salon visits, and no waiting.

I still have a Dream where perms will burn no more.

I have a Dream where every Stylist’s will have the opportunity to be featured on the cover of Billy Cason, Hair Design Magazine.

This is our hope, and this is the faith with which we will return to the salon with.

With this faith we will be able to transform our creative energy’s to be able to accommodate our  customer’s in a professional like manner.

With this faith we will be able to work together, pray together, go to hair shows together, and stand up for styles to together, in knowing that one day our styles will shine.

This will be the day when all Hair Stylist, Barber, Braiders, Manicurist’s and Make up Artist in Detroit will come together to sing to the Crowning of the Hair Capital of the World.

Glory, Glory to more Hair… and Love, Peace & Hair Grease from the Super Hair Fighter, De Derrick/Hair Stylist/Barber/Blogger

Hair or No Hair

 

Hair or no Hair?…that’s a good question? .. and the answer lies within the Hair  the feel of Hair and the look of Hair.

Hair or no Hair?…it’s time for a change.

 From the relaxing experience services of perms.

I’m going  back to my natural roots of the press n curl.

Hair or no Hair?… even though I’m bald I’m still the same old De, happy as I can be.

Hair or no Hair?… because I believe in me…I could wear a weave but that is not what I believe  for me.

Hair or no Hair?… It’s just good to have someone who cares.

Hair or no Hair.

Her name is Bessie, my Baby Boo, standing behind me with love from her heart to mine, because behind Great man stands a woman.

It’s not good for Man to be alone.

Bessie and I,  we prayed a similar prayer, oh God, please send us someone nice to talk to.

Hair or no Hair?…let’s face it, things  could be worse than a bald head, because Life goes on to grow another head.

But, not to have a story to be told of my Love and Passion that Life has to offer to me and Baby Boo .

Hair or no Hair?…God knows all about me, and about you too, for his DNA is planted within my soul and present in everything I see.

So, I tell my story to the world just how good God is in His plan and Purpose for Life.

 Hair or no Hair

Hump the Grinder and Billy Cason for their dedication in perusing of their Plans, Goals and Dreams; by show casing Detroit’s Finest Hair Stylist’s, Barbers, Braiders, Manicurist & Makeup Artists helping them along in the journey in Hair Styling.

Hump the Grinder’s Hair Wars, stage presentations in hair, Billiy Cason, Hair Design Magazine, and a host of talented Stylist, all coming together as a city style team in representing and enhancing the beauty of Detroit.

I’m De Derrick, the Hair Fighter/ Barber Stylist/Blogger…fighting hard in keeping the Capital of Hair alive in spirit and in mind and proud to be a native Detroiters.

I created my stage name “Hair Fighter” while serving in stage presentations in the Battle’s of Hair Wars over the last twenty years.

Down, through the years, show after show, near or far… I was on stage entertaining doing my show part or a guest enjoying every minute of the style ride in Hair that has swepted the country and across the sea… by way of Hair Wars.

Hair Wars is now traveling around the world and closing the gap in repetition in starting the show on time @ 6:05 pm.

I can’t remember a show where the 6:05 show time was not honor in keep with the old saying “the show must go on”.

Come with me… it’s almost show time, and watch through the eyes of a Hair Fighter, commentating  back stage and close up front @ V. I. P seating catching the spirit, bright stage lights and the feel of excitement and thrills as each performers unfolds their routines and theme all while having fun down the Run way.

I arrived early, checking in for my Media pass with security.

As, I waited patiently  until security clear my back stage pass.

From this angle I could see the entire back stage area.

The adrenal was  flowing with people working, as beaver’s would do in preparing for their Dam.

I felted the beats, beating hearts… and the tunnel vision of Show time.

I entered in  the room feeling the spirit of it all coming to life.

Act 1 model call and stylist’s claim their area by table’s marked with their name’s unpacking their equipment getting ready for a star stunning night of hair styling.

I’ve already made my quick change into my “Hair Fighter” charter, while the room continues to flow with hair stylists and models arriving for model call.

One thing I notice that Hump enforces his model call check in and if you’re late, pay a fine and may be you will be worked into the show…I know, from first hand experience and I paid from my mistakes for my lateness, realizing that the show Must Go On!

Back Stage area… and everyone is playing their part in handling the hype of the last-minute show preparations; make up, last curl touch up dance steps, one more time again…rehearse to the last-minute make up touch up.

I observed and watched the room, focusing my eye’s and attention, as an Eagle would be setting high above all and see all.

I’m close at hand, and down up front with the excitement of show time trying hard not to miss anything.

I thought, for a mount of the old days,  when I would have 4 – 6 models to get ready and all the Hustle and Bustle of show and the pressure of show time.

Nothing New Under the Sun…just that the faces have change.

Dorsey School of Beauty was well supported…coming out of their hair corner with a double dose of high energy of style excitement, Roseville, Mi. & Lansing, Mi., they brought color braids which added a new look to the show with the eye of the tiger in each stylist eye.

Ruby Jean Davis, Nevada, NM, lovely as ever, as she shows off her very stunning colorful  gown accentuating her colorful braid style.

Ruby has been styling hair since 1963 and her tip for today’s hair show is “learn all you can in the salon.”

Yolanda “Yo – Yo” Carroll was at attendances for her model call…I didn’t get to speak to her but I caught up with one of her models now wearing the Blonde look, longitude on one side.

Flawless Smith, which I had a chance to meet for the first time, sharing the family name of Smith.

Flawless Smith was deep in creative thought as he was working but took time to laid a quote on me, “I will have 8 models.

It was good to see Alonzo Palmer working his fantasy creation out…

I enjoyed watching Alonzo makeup artist, licensed cosmetologist enhancing the beauty of the models completing the style by makeup…the last stop, and Joelle Vanity Rock’s.

Tony Hair Weave Killa stop for a group shot, looking hot with color and style.

It’s intermission, everyone will be stopping by the Hair Wars booth and pick up some DVD’s and support tonight’s sponsors.

“The city that gave the world tail fins and the supreme is suddenly giving it something else.  A new definition of Big Hair.” – THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

Some Artists work in clay, some in water colors, some with words or music.  The artists who performed Sunday at the Apollo Theater prefer to tease their audience to a frenzy with a more human medium: Hair.” – NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

“This isn’t a concert, or the filming of a music video. It’s a hair show. Sorry, it’s the hair show: Hair Wars. …these are hair entertainers. And they reign supreme in the Motor City, the hair the hair capital of the world.” METRO TIMES

“Outside the proper circles, It’s a little known fact that Detroit is considered the hair styling capital of the free world.” WDIV NEWS 4 (NBC) Detroit

“What is Hair Wars? It’s a jaw-dropping, until now, underground phenomenon.” – INSIDE EDITION

“There are no bad hair days at a Hair Wars contest, where stylists use vats of gel, bushels of hair extensions and jaw-dropping ingenuity to build the world’s most outrageous styles.” LIFE MAGAZINE

“Hair Wars, the spectacle that has done more than any single event to place Detroit at the heart of African-American hair culture.” – DETROIT FREE PRESS

“A celebration of what would result if “Soul Train,” a Versace fashion show and religious revival were tossed into a blender.” – LAS VEGAS SUN

“Hair Ware…is endowed with the appeal of a music video.” – NEW YORKER MAGAZINE

“Psst! Let me tell you a secret about a city that put the world on wheels: It’s really all about the hair, baby. Here in Detroit, nothing – not even a shiny pink Cadillac – carries the weight more than the “do.” – VIBE MAGAZINE

“This is the zaniness of wrestling matches, the bigness of Broadway sets, the fantasy of Star Wars and the competitiveness of any street game of b-ball.” – MIAMI HERALD

I’m Back!!!… and getting ready for the Hair Wars show, but first things first…

 

questionsj

I’s been brought to my attention by close friends and relative’s, asking the questions….where is De Derrick??

or, for that matter where is the Hair Fighter??

Well, let me take this time to help every one out…I’m OK and God is good.

For the last 4 months, I’ve been happy and lucky in Love…her name is Bessie, my baby boo, heaven-sent from God above.

We met last year, while having my hair styled @ 2nd Look Hair Salon

18451 Grand River

 Detroit, MI.

Special shout out!!… to Amillia, Stylist/Salon Owner…for for hooking us up with the introduction.

Bessie and I have talked on the phone at all hours of the day and after hours through the night.

During, this time we discovered that we have shared about the same prayer request to God, for a person that’s nice and to talk with.

Bessie, had lost her mate of 30 years, and have cried a many of nights for help and God directed her path.

For the last 10 years I’ve been by myself been a little afraid of the hurt in relationships like most folks, then came Bessie that adds joy to my life.

Our first date was in church just as I prayed for, Family of Faith, 421 Piquette, Pastor, Harold Knox, where I’m a member, and so is Bessie, after meeting me, she joining last month with Christian experience. 

Today, I’m happy to be announcing that my Baby Boo and I well be attending the Hump the Grinder’s HAIR WARS “The Motown Show a tribute to Detroit’s, Cars & Hair Stars SUNDAY – April 17 @ the beautiful Ford Community & Performing Art Center 15801 Michigan Ave.,

The Hair Capital Dream

 

lights out...end of the day work for De Derrick the Hair Fighter Bedtime, the day has grown old, and the time has come for no man to work.

I have done all that I can do for this day…”save some work for  tomorrow”…I always say.

I have just finished oiling and brushing my hair and tied it down.

Now, I laid me down to sleep, I dreams of a vocabulary of words to express the Best of the Best of Hair Stylist’s/Entertainment  that Detroit has to offer.

I dream In appreciation to Hump the Grinder’s Hair Wars and Billy Cason’s Hair design Magazine for the exposure to the world the Hair styles that Detroit is made of.

I dream of a beautiful musical scaled melody of notes swaying from side to side… The hair Capital of the World made in the D…The Hair Capital of the World la,la,la,la…the Capital the Capital…

Yes!!,  it’s true, and over the course of time Detroit has raised an army of talented hair stylist’s, serving our clients and each other in Love, Peace and Hair Grease…again, thanks to Hair Wars and Hair Design Magazine for providing the platform that took us their.

I Dream of a strong rhythm beat to express and support the melody of the song that will be written by the power’s and creative that is invested in a Hair Fighter, with writing and musical abilities to see the job through.

 

 

As, I awake from this dream, I quickly gathered my thoughts, grab a pen and paper, and continued on with turning a dream into the reality to live out  the expression… The Hair capital of the World is made in the D.

Comb Twist

 

Comb Twist, aka Twistie’s…popular hair style look of the History & Culture of AfricanTribal Hair.

Recent Photos The Commons Getty Collection Galleries World Map App ...

The hair is twisted using the small end of a comb and twist and pulling in an out direction forming a pattern that represents style, using wax or gel that will guarantee firm in holding.Comb Twist Dreads

TWISTIE’S… is defintly a natural style look, if you have relaxer this service is not for you.

Even if you feel that the relaxer as grown out and you haven’t had a touch up for years, and no hair cut you’re still out of luck.

The relaxer is still on your ends and may not curl during this type of service.

TWISTIE’S…  are recommended I would say for all walks of life…work, school, church and play.

z

TWISTIE’S… also, is a connection with the Mother land, Africa, that displays the culture behind their unique hair styles and how those hair styles influence today’s hair.

TWISTIE’S… is good way in letting your hair rest from thermal heat, blow drying and coloring that may damage your hair.

Hi,.. The Super Hair Fighter/Blogger and today for the first time ever…

Comb Twist

TWISTIE’S… is a way in giving the hair a time to breath and rest from the above mentioning of heat and coloring can do to your hair.

I don’t use coloring in my hair and I’m also relaxer free making me a good candidate for this style.

I love the look and it’s an easy style to manage at night, while going to bed…just tie it up.

I Love my new look, that gives me a new Image in creating something to Blog.

My hair was styled by Franclyn.

Who is Franclyn??

Franclyn… at time’s is known as Fingers, and aka Blue.

Franclyn. is my delightful, Cool, Color Girl, Co-Worker…Blue.

 

Smart, cute, and charming has she can be my co-worker Franclyn. aka Blue.

Yes, Blue and she wouldn’t change the color, even if you asked her to…that’s, Blue.

She, has what it takes in moving forward in the industry of Hair Styling and to strengthing  her name up offering  professional hair styling services.

She’s 21, and just beginning to take the world on by storm  designing of own Lifestyle.

Blue, Loves floral arrangements and is very creative in her designs.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…Proverb 22 : 6.

Well meet Ms. Apple tree herself Ms. Willinghan,…Franclyn’s. mother, and our Healthy Images Hair Salon manager.

The Healthy Images Styling team set the trend by been proficient in all style supplying  good  service and quality work,  creating an Image  for the members of the fitness center to follow.

The Fitness Center is located in side of the William Clay Ford athletic Building.

I’ve started working @ Healthy Images February 01, 2015 and so far as been one of the best decision I have ever made in my entire career as a Hair Stylist.

The Birthday Gift

 

 

 

Today is my Birthday, the celebration of new life growing inside me.

I’m running the Good life in Christ today and I’m not ashamed of the name of Jesus. 

I won’t back down now, and I say His name again, Jesus.

 for I have come to far by Faith in His word to turn back now. 

I’m now 63 years of age, and I’m at the mil stone of my Life.

I find myself very happy to be able to share in my spiritually growth in Christ.

Another year Older and Wiser and Happier in the Word and with my self.

Let me see…what shall I do today?

I’m going Healthy Images Hair Salon and do some appointments.

……When duty calls…The Super Hair Fighter answers…….

Everyone has one day out of a year giving opportunity to look back and see for where you have come from and focus on straight ahead on their Birthday.

Today, is my day…Happy Birthday!!!

 See last year Birthday Blog

God has been real good to me in all matter of my Life.

I’m living the good time in Christ, but, I’m short because, 99 and a half of His obedience is not enough God wants it all, so I pray to my Holy Spirit in helping me in my unbelief and my short coming.

God, demands all due respect and honor as Our Father God the maker and Creator of Universe.

I read my Bible,  pray every day….it’s still not enough.

I attend Sunday School, Praise and Glorify his name during worship services.

I attentively listen and take notes of the preaching of His word.

I leave my Tithes and Offerings.

 I depart from the Services and  I try real hard to love everyone…God first Commandment.

And yet, there is so much more work to be done.

My Birthday, last year same time, same place, Piquette Square, Veteran Housing aiding the Homeless Vets where I’m Bless a resident there.

I love the accommodations and resources that are available @ Piquette Square. Thanks to Piquette, that has in helped  me in the better of my Personal Development.

I like to think of Piquette Square, as the best place I ever lived, since Mom and Dad and hot apple pie.

I’m loving ever monment…going on now 3 years.

 One day, quietly and softly, the spirit of decrement came me last year this time while I was typing.

I stopped typing and realize that my typing skills were no different from piano skills.

I studied on the matter for a while very seriously and thought to myself… I’m going to play the piano.

Not, to mention, that there’s  a piano in our TV room  @ the Square and I walk by it nearly everyday without even touching it.

It all made sense now.

50 years ago when I tried to play @ the age of 8 and it didn’t, by the age of 9 I let it go with no regrets, while running outside to go and play.

I was not ready at that time.

In knowing what I know now, I truly believe God prepared me for the ride down those 88 keys.

But still, there was something lingered in the back of my mind that says something about that piano.

Firstly, of all, anyone that truly knows me, knows that I’ve always had the rhythm for dancing.

I believe that my dancing does give me the edge in making up a beat or staying with the beat in which I’m playing.

Secondly, I have 25 years in the field of Cosmetology and over the years have developed me with strong dexterity in my hands and fingers.

Cosmetology Project Offers Once-in-a-Lifetime Career Opportunity

Thirdly, I can braid hair and I acquire typing skills of 80 wpm with 3 or 4 errors.

That’s when it finally hit me!!

Why shouldn’t I be able to play that piano in our  the TV room?

So, not coming up with a good answer,  I started playing the piano.

I purchased my first keyboard so I didn’t have to go down to the TV room any more.

 The guys would sometimes ridicule me by rude loud talking and turning up the volume on the TV.

I was proud of my  66 key Casio Keyboard that purchased @ the pawn for $80.00.

I purchased the Alfred’s basic adult Piano Course and with my extremely high  desire to play I started practiced everyday and in-between days.

As a beginner, I learned my lesson and I learned it well.

God Bless me with a new 77 key Yamaha Keyboard piano.

 I purchased it from my internet mall, triple Clicks

This Yamaha was a $300 keyboard, but since hold an executive position with a company called SFI and having enough VP points because of down line that are in the business, the piano was free.

I only paid the shipping cost which was $30.00..how cool was that!!

With an extra 10 more keys to work with I got busy practicing .

I stepped out of the music book and began writing and playing my own melody and adding my own beats.

It’s truly amazing what God has done for me in my life by Plan and Purpose.

I now process the complete Praise package when Praising and Dancing lifting up His name in the services.

I’ll never will be the same in Life now that I’ve been Bless with the Gift of music.

There is no looking back and everything is looking ahead.

If only to remember of things I used to be.

Paying the piano skillfully is some people’s greatest life’s ambition, and He chose me.

Psalm 33 : 3 Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.

Sing to Him a new song; SKILLFULLY with shout joy.

In business, I once read…in order to change the world, one must first change themselves first from within.

I’m now at the mark of 63 years of age, ready to change the world from the Gift of music that is continually growing from  within me.

I have VIP seating and  found a nice table close to the stage side.

Before, the show started, I had a moment to glance @ the line-up.

Hummm, let’s see here, Ruby Jean Davis, she’s from Las Vegas…

Von Jour Reece, Fashion Designer…

Keith Matthews, Beauty Village Beauty Salon…

Ms Thang Gloria…

and oh! Boy!! Little Willie.

Wait, a mintue….I noticed an unfamiliar name here.

His name is Khalife’L Scissorhands, all the way from California.

SHOW TIME!…SHOW TIME!!…SHOWTIME!!!

Time now, 6:05 pm, and the ballroom lights were dimming down low.

Let the show begin!!!

Appear on stage was Hump the Grinder.

Hump introduced tonight’s Commentator, Ms. O’kela Neveaux .

O’Kela, walked out on the stage and the show was on with the first act,

Ali D’Shua

 then next Khalife’L Scissorhands.

Looking @ the program, it’s that cat from California…Khalife’L Scissorhands.

The ballroom lights were turned completely off and a spot light was the only light that shined on stage.

The music played that spooky organ music that you might remember from a late Sir Grave Ghastly spooky grave yard seen.

Image result for smoke imagesThe smoke machine, filling the stage floor area and over flowing unto the runway while the cry wolf hollowing as if it was a full moon.

Image result for wolf images with moon

Was this going to be Thriller show??

Suddenly, appeared out on stage and between the smoke walked out        Khalife’L Scissorhands.

Khalife’L was dressed in Black, Black, Black a leather jumpsuit making a Stand and Statement in Entertainment.

Image result for edward scissorhands imagines

Moving slow, and mysterious staring at crowd with his sinister eyes line with black liner and eye shadow projected a look not to be trusted.

The man wore a scary curl that draped down his back and his bangs were stacked and hung over his left eye.

I looked at Khalife’L hands and I see why they call him Scissorhands.

Image result for edward scissorhands imaginesNow image this, the man had 3 Scissor’s in each hand…clicking and waving around as if he was out of control…click, click, clicking of the Scissors  moving faster and faster, as if they were electric motored inside of his gloves.

Khalife’L knew exactly what he was doing, and he was doing it well, a true Showman and Entertainer.

The audience by now was in state of jaw dropping suspense.

I, myself  was a little shook up as well.

Not, wanting to take my eyes off the stage and yet I held on to my seat.

If, this was a dream, and I were 60 years younger, I would be a kid.

Image result for the boogie man

I would have by now,  have pulled the covers over my head screaming and shouting…Momie!! Momie!! the Boogie man is out try to get me and he has scissors in each hand.

But check out the turn of events with model now on stage.

Khalife’L had two models with him that joined him out on stage.

Meet his first model….

One was a HaireCopter that blond in color and trim with lights…give her a hand, for Creativness  coming from the commentator O’kela Neveaux.

Khalife’L, next model is a short cut and curl, that’s stacked in the back, shinning bright the two-tone red, the girl is definitely outer sight…give her a hand and another hand for Khalie’L Scissorhands…all the way from California, Mr. Khalie’L

For 5 stars for skit Performance.

Image result for 5 star image

After Sicessorhand hair chilling present…I made my way back stage to welcome Khalife’L to Detroit and congratulation on a job well done.

BAD Hair Day

I’m so excited, to be announcing the beginning of an 18-year-old plan to start my own Business.

Today, I’m fortunate to have gotten this far if not for your Plan and Purpose that you see in me.   .

The Salon Realty Show  and Blog Writing Review is focus around the fashion industry helping all Hair Stylist, Barber’s, Manicurists, Braiders, and Make up artists, that are interested in broadening  their coverage in advertising and marketing plan by way of the Internet.

Everyone’s invited for a  preview of the showing @ Thehairshowblogger.wordpress.com tomorrow @ 6:05 pm.

The show will be visiting other Salons  coming together with other stylists discussing their views and comments about the Before Look and the amazing After look of Reality upon leaving the salon.

I’m De Derrick, BAD HAIR DAY, Hair Stylist/Barber/Blogger an a Hair Fighter, Healthy Images Salon, 6525 Second Ave, Detroit,Michigan…inside the William Clay Ford athlete Building.

I needed a Hair Do…like right now that’s suitable enough for a Super Hair Fighter on… his way to be Hosting my new developed Salon Reality Show.

I need a press n curl and a precision cut.

And, for that demand, theirs only one man I know that can precision cut and style my hair in vision that I see in my head.

The man is Bad, and quite a charter.

I’m talking about my friend Stylist/Entertainer Khalife’L Scissorhands.Image result for edward scissorhands images

Yes, Scissorhands, and he’s cutting with 5 shears… on the left and 5 on the right…oh may, oh may, you might say.. all dressed in black.this man could cut a hole in a rug.

Khalife’L, is best to be known as sharpest guy I know while on stage of a Hair Wars show always cutting up with stage action.

So, there it is in a nut shell.

Mind you now that been the  Hair Fighter…I could easily curl my own Hair as fast as you can blink an eye, but it just won’t do without that cut… it’s all that I needed.

I called for an appointment and Khalife’L scheduled my for 3:00 pm…3 sounds good to meI’ll be their. .

I was in the area, so I decided to get so lunch and make some last-minute calls for my BIG day tomorrow.

I kept my faith and belief in God, I’ve worked hard and never losing the site of my Dreams and Ambitions in Life…and just think tomorrow it will be happening.

Time now 3:00 pm, and, I’m now walking through the doors of the salon.

Their he was the Sicessorhands Man sharping up his scissors.Image result for edward scissorhands images

Hey Hair Fighter…how doing?

Just great Bro., I’ll be even better when you hook me up on my Hair Do.

Don’t worry, you’re in good hands with Scissorhands.

Let’s go to the shampoo bowl first and then I’ll cut you hair in The Styling Den.

 

Ok, let’s get busy as Khalife’L began to start my services by draping me and instructing me toput my neck  back into the shampoo bowl.

Theirs nothing like a nice relaxing shampoo, as I thought to myself almost sleep, as worked his magic fingers on my head.

Sit up Hair Fighter, as Khalife’L towel bolted my hair and began combing through it.

Khalife’L, asked me had I any breakage of your hair lately?

No, I’m in good shape.

Yes, that good as well, but, I still like recommend a good product called NATREXX natural source extract healing butter for HAIR, SCALP, FACE, HANDS, BODY, AND FEET.

Sounds good hit me with a little dab bro..

Khalife’L rinse the NATREXX out of my head and we proceed to the Styling Den.

Hey, Khalife’L, it’s been some time since I been back in the Den where all creative starts

I see you done some remodeling since the last I was here for that Hair Wars show in 2000. .

YES, God has been good and so has Bussiness…now let get on with your cut.

Go head Scissorhands but leave my length on the top, featuring me to the back and taper my sides.Image result for edward scissorhands images

I took a nap and hope I held my head right, while he curled my hair.pening my eyes I seen the host of my brand new Salon Reality Show…the Super Hair Fighter.

Now this is what I’m talking about a style worthy crossing a country mile.

By, the way Khalife’L do you have some BOUGEWA’ to spary on my side and neck line.

Sure, De, their you go…how dose that feel?

Great!! I love the refreshing feeling after a hair.

You did it once again Scissorhands, what’s my damage?

The Hair Do is on me Hair Fighter, just remember to spell my name correctly when you advertise my business on your show.

And by the way what’s the name of your show.

It’s…called  Salon Reality…and I’m going to make a real different in the hair industry on day.

Ok, Scissorhands you did your job so well you advertised your own Blog advertisement, as soon as I get home I’ll start my typing and market it.

Thanks, again Khalife’L, hello to Malika your Lovely wife.

 I Love to write, with the Passion and Love and Desire for  Blog writing.

 

por josé dirceu em seu blog li o artigo de izabela vasconcelos no ... is the newest form of advertising on the Internet…a sort of word of mouth that is sent out on the Internet by way of Blogging or Article Writing.

Either, way you are reaching the masses through social media through your writings.

I have over 300 Blog writings in different categories of writings.

 I also have 5 other different Web Sites that are active on the internet.

  I am the administrator of them all…(see bottom of page for Site listings). 

Have-Good-Handwriting-Step-10.jpg

 

When making this statement “love to write” was in reference to my handwriting skills.

I’ve always been told that “you have beautiful handwriting” or “you write like a girl”.

Well, I take after my mother, Norma Smith, for she has the most beautiful handwriting by far in the world if you ask me.

  As a child growing up, I would write just to see how fancy my handwriting could be or to see if I could copy my mother’s hand writing.

I just Love to write, so I wrote and wrote and kept journals recording my daily Life activities.

 

 

I figured  out one day…In which Spider’s Dad gets a surprise Monday, Jul 2 2012  to my surprise, it wasn’t that  I would call myself an author or writer… I just enjoyed writing.

  I consider myself Creative in Nature with Expression, Desire and Passion for the art of writing that bring out the Best in me.

I believe God in all His Glory, with His wonderful sence of humor  increased my territory with my writing abilities every time that I stated that “I Love to write” He just answered my wishes.

I now, write a word from God into almost every Blog that I write for His Glory to deliever a message Inspiration, Love and Hope to a Hurting world. 

 everyone thinks that they should type the letters fast because typing ... I possess  a typing speed of about 85 wpm, and about 3 errors…how Cool is that?

 

Saving Money: Advice Your Mom Never Gave You

I’m Bless beyond measures, been able to do my own typing, giving me the advantage of saving time and money by not having to hirer  someone to do the typing for me.

the-air-force-just-reinstated-a-third-of-its-aircraft.jpg God knew before hand, that in that year of 1971,  I would enlist into the services of the USAF, and wouldn’t you know, it that I would  be trained as an Administrative Clerk Typing Specialist and to this day I’m using my Gift in a special way…giving him the Glory.

Once the military trains a Man or Woman, you you’re trained for Life…some things you just don’t forget and military training is one of them.

I will never forget the things God has done for me in my Life, so I will continue to write for the Whole world to see… the Goodness of God’s and how he Blessing me.

Combining my with my Creative Nature and my Typing abilities to become one day know as The Blog Breeder, De Derrick writing his legacy.

Hair Wars Back Stage Blog, pt. 1

 Welcome to the Hair Wars Back Stage Blog, pt. 1

I wish I could say, that what goes on Back Stage during time, will stays Back Stage.

Forgive me but can’t say that at this particular time…but I must at this time tell it all.

 Before we go Back Stage, let’s start at the beginning by first setting the stage.

The Best of De Derrick, Love, Peace and Hair Grease...

The Best of De Derrick, Love, Peace and Hair Grease…

I’m De Derrick, Hair Stylist/Barber/Blogger/Creative Marketer

My stage name, the Hair Fighter… was a name created out of the desire to entertain on the stages of Hair Wars.

My given name is…Derrick Smith, so you see, I had to come up with a name quick.

 I’m no way ashamed of the family name, and Smith is so common but, I needed a name that  says entertainment and excitement…..so was born

 The Hair Fighter!!

I am the Super Hair Fighter…No I cant’t Fly, but I can cut your hair  any way you want it.

I am more powerful than a blow dryer on high-speed and stronger than bonding glue, able to move  faster than a quick weave. 

I am able to stand up against heat never quiting  on my mission until I complete the task having my clients satify is my only true desire.

I consider myself to be a hard-working Professional , driven by the  love  and the passion of working in the hair styling industry.

I choose to living my life to the fullness through creativeness that gives spiritual meaning to my life that only comes from God.

After, completing the requirements from Mr. Arnold’s Beauty School, Dearborn Michigan.

I was ready to beautify the world.

I was invited my first hair show sponsored by, Billy Cason, Publisher of Hair Design Magazine @ Club West Side, Wyoming/Lyndon Detroit, Michigan.

One day while working in the salon, I over heard one of the operator’s talking about the “Hump The Grinder’s” Hair Wars shows.

That night and I made my arrangments and found some ticket’s for the up coming show.

Yes, Hair Wars!!

Hair Wars, giving the opportunity to hundreds of Hair Stylists, Barbers, Manicurist, Hair Braiders along with other performers  their chance to shine and to show off to the world their skills, talents and showmanship in entertaiment.

I remember first invitation to attend a Hair Wars show @ the now demolished Grand Quarters.

There where I the chance to meet for the first time, the Big guy, with a generous heart, Hump the Grinder.

 

 I signed up that night for the next show, and after that night … I was on the road, signing up for show after show my life was changed for ever…averaging 3 – 4 shows annually.

Twenty years later, I’m still in the midst of the battle, but on the side line in so-called retirement mold from entertainment and the Back Stage thrills!

 Dee, arrived on time 4:30, and ran his mouth all the way..talk, talk, talk.

 We arrived at the Hotel a little after 5:00, and the fare was $40!.. but it was worth to be @ another Hump the Grinder’s Hair Wars Show and to write this story.

Walking through the lobby of  hotel, I couldn’t help thinking about last year Hair Wars Show.

 The show was held here with same and starting time, 6:05 pm.

The starting time 6:05 every since I could remember.

6:05 pm, has been incorporated into the making of Hair Wars and it a good idea to start on time.

In all my years, I never was short of the time waiting for a show to start or set up…Hair Wars as always lived up to it’s calling…6:05 pm show time starting.

 show by never-failing to not start the show on time.

Hey, ladies check him out Mister Smooth Shade of Grey, matching hat, tie and Grey suit.

Magnificent Allah , is his name…give him a hand for the suit.  Photo

The music had me moving and grooving.

I’m like most anyone else, when dancing is in your blood.

In a small way, I was dancing in my own space and time, having a ball feeling the music as I watched  the people starting to coming in.

 

It’s finally here Hair Wars night Oh Boy!!!

As I turned my body into a dance step looking over my shoulder guess who I see?

Photo Well, well, well.. I’ts Bernard.  

He was here at the last year Hair Wars and its good to see him today.

Oh boy! maybe I can get some of his Leaf of Life, Silicone and Pure Oil Spray Shine.

Bernard and myself go back to the days of yesterdays of the early 90’s when hair show were of a different time.

 I love the leaf of life that leaves a shine that you can see…we updated our contact information and I purchased 2 bottle Leaf of Life, Silicone and Pure Oil spray shine.

I went to the restroom to freshen up a bit…thinking to myself while combing my hair, visualizing to the man in the mirror, just how far he’s traveled in the ranks of Hair Wars…and to the days of 4 to 6 models getting them ready for show time not to mention working on myself in costume character, as the Hair Fighter, bringing  a smile to myself, in knowing that it was all worth it.

After having my hand stamped, I walked into the room, filled with people buzzing around.

 I just watch for a moment to gather my thoughts before making a move.

Backstage at a fashion show is always busy, and this year was no ...

The heat and the excitement was in the air and everywhere.

 even body painting was walking around showing off their artistic colors.

Rhine stones was glettering and sparkling bright, with everyone having the same show time gleam in their eyes…just waiting to perform. 

Show Time, Show Time….with no time to spare!!!

Don't you know that you're not invited? Don't you know that's why I ...

Watching everyone, busy at doing something, completing their task, and working towards their completing their assignments  staying on scheduled time. 

Model call!!…Called out the stage hand…

MJK Crown of Royalty…Mysterious Marge…Jahti and Tropicana, let’s go, get your models and come with me

….IT’S SHOW TIME…and off they went to open the show….

This kind of activity reminds me of how ants all work together in their work place in accomplishing their instinctive work mission. 

original_place_name_heart_card_holder.jpg

The room was set up with tables and place cards that marked the stylist spot with their names on it.

Hair Stylist Tools Best hair styling tools

Mirrors, clips, combs, brushes, hair spray, spits, curling irons, pressing combs, hair of all types and color and any other essentials for styling to capture that show ready look.

Finally, after all these years, I get a chance to speak to Ruby Jean Davis, Las Vegas, NV, 1212 Owens.

Las Vegas Strip

I remember the first time I saw Ruby on stage 1997 Anthem Hotel, Detroit, Michigan.

 Ms. Ruby… always would come out with Big Hair aas she takes her walkk down the runway every so eleneagnt  and she does it well with honor, pride and respect for the industry of hair.

Listen up…make sure you get a professional photo with Micheal Lilly…

The room was really buzzing and everyone had something to do and my present fit in as I took notes.

  The room was large enough for everyone to be comfortable in their own corner work place.

I slowly went over to Tropicana, corner and observed,  9 models, all sort of colors, straight and wavy hair, sort and long.

I was setting in the path way of the returning models after performing on stage.

The last model, stopped spoke to me and mention to me that I didn’t recognize her.

Well, truthfully I didn’t…but as the young lady she kept on talking it came to me Rashell, Ms. Ray Hair Stylist from the east side.

I remember now, 8 years ago, in helping Ms Ray out with some internet advertising.

TIPS FOR TIRED ACHY FEET It’s been a long day, so I decided to sit and rest my feet while going over some notes.

 I shared the table  area with the Dance group the World Treat School Dancers and they asked me to watched their personal items while they go and perform  on stage.

Thank to Lamar for sharing information about the dance group.

 

I talked with Weaven Steven briefly while he was working his weaving hair magic.

Keeping in mind that time is the essence, and time is what matters most  tonight….keeping the show moving along  as schedule.

Again, I say…the show must go on…

www.weavensteven.com

I remember when Steven first shock the Hair Wars Nation as the first white boy in the army of Hair Wars, all the way from PA along with 3 models all dressed in hair and hair style to match.

Model call!!…Called out the stage hand…

Yolanda Carroll…Tony Hair Weave Kiliah…Barb Miliz…Weaven Steven and K. Mersier line up and since they were closing act 1.

I decided to follow the Stylist’s and their models as they began their journey to the stage were they will perform.

We traveled  down the elevator, around the corner, down the hall and through the kitchen and out the door, finally we found ourselves lining next to the stage

This will close Act 1 .

Act 2, and the beginning of The Back Stage Blogger, pt. 2 will follow just as soon as I find my way back the dressing room.
