The Real Me

Image may contain: 1 person, smiling

I may not fly and have no X-Ray eyes, but I can fry and die and lay that Hair to the side.

I’m the Hair Fighter, your friend until the end of split ends.

Quicker than a Quick Weave and stronger than Bonding Glue, I’m able to curl HAIR in 20 minutes.

There’s no need to fear I’m your man, the Hair Fighter @your service.

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.

ALL ON FANTASY ISLAND

 

Story Telling Time

His name was Charlie, Baddest Barbers that I’ve ever met, while on the road with 4wheels and a Keyboard, musical expression in Hair Entertain

ment.

Charlie, lives on Fantasy Island, a place were the Hair styles are real, and BIG as ALL outdoors and what ever Style you think of is yours.

An Island, were Creativity shows no boundaries and Originality is your own making, all on Fantasy Island.

Charlie, could cut 2 heads @ once, he could fade the 2 heads and put a design in them… in less than 20 minutes.

Remarkable YES!, but fiction indeed, SORRY, Charlie is an Octopus living on Fantasy Island, a place where imagination runs wild.

I’m De Derrick, and this is how it is in my Imagery Mind as a Story Teller.

I’m De Derrick, the Super Hair Fighter

This week-end trip to Flint will give me time away from my Styling chair and return with a better and stronger to revised my plans in becoming a disturber of hair products.

 

Well, I’m all check in @ the ticket counter, and the time is now 2:15.

I might as well take time to relax and breathe while going over my notes.

Everything is going according to plan and schedule.

The world is turning

picture of daily-planner - Daily planner with glasses and pen on the table - JPG

I’m the kind of person that likes to plan ahead, doing this in this way, alone me to formulate my options in working out the best plan to work the situation out.

Today, I’m on my way to Flint, to meet with Bernard tomorrow, Saginaw  Friday and Saturday, Lansing as we roll with CONVENIENT BEAUTY SUPPLY ON WHEELS, and  to promote my the launching of The Barber Shop Blog Realty story time.

Blogging is what make me Happy...313.623.3909

Blogging is what make me Happy…313.623.3909

The Barber Shop Blog Reality show will feature a selected Stylist, and follow them around during the course of their routine work day.

The Blog story will documenting their activity’s as they go on with their work cutting, styling, shampooing around the Salon.

I’m no stranger in relationship as I think about  helping him sell his product at a trade show.

It was my job to draw people to Bernard’s prouduct table.

I’m a communicator at heart and a people person, which made  the work easy in loving what you love, you just do it.

Time now 2:20, the bus is now boarding.

Moving out of the thermal and on my way…my phone is rings, its Bernard inquiring of my ETA into Flint, where he will pick me up.

The bus ride must have been 45 minute’s.

I arrived into Flint about 4:20 pm; Bernard was there waiting setting behind the wheel, with the motor running, and ready to roll.

I put my bags in the Van and knuckled down on Bernard, as he put the van in gear and hit the pedal and we were of.

I had reservations @ the Holiday Inn, but after checking out my option now that I’m here in Flint, I decided to stay at the Super 8, this in which I saved $140.00.

After, registering into the motel, I took my bags into the room.

Bernard hung around for a minute making sure that I was OK and settled in.

Bernard, informed me that he had to make a run and that I would see him Friday morning to begin the run, headed  to Lansing..

I settled into my room, and realizing it was time to get something to eat by the signal of my stomach saying, feed me!!

Walley’s Restaurant was located next door to the motel, so convenience is the game so I followed through.

Time now, 6:29 pm Thursday.

I truly needed this time off to myself, and  enjoying the quiet and relaxing moments will come easy.

Bernard called me later that evening,checking with me to see if everything was OK.

We talked over business plan and Marketing of what I would expect while were on the road.

that will help one become successful in becoming a Product Man by on the job training.

Time now, 8: 15 pm Thursday and I’m all tired out.

funny-wtf-fail-tv-show-pictures-megalawlz-megalolz

Even, while at home in Detroit, I never watch television its good entertainment but if you want to get ahead faster.

Sure, I look forward to watching the news to only be informed.

I’ll be so, glad when tomorrow gets here, so we can get on the road with the Product Man. Good night…

Oh Boy!!, Tomorrow is finial here, 7:00 am Friday.

I noticed the day light cracking through the curtain’s windows of the motel room.

I  praise and thank God for each and every day no matter where I am He is still the same God.

I continue to read my Daily Bread, and follow the study scriptures readings and then Prayed.

I forget my Bible, but wouldn’t you know it the motel had one in the draw of the night stand.

Waiting on Bernard…I can’t wait to get rolling.

I still haven’t forgot that day talking to Bernard about the business and he informed me that he goes to about 20 salon’s a day with his Convenient Beauty Supply on Wheels, and with a 5 minute limited visit for each salon his life style Wednesday – Saturday…rolling along supplying the need.

I feel happy in my plans, by come to Flint to write this Blog story on the Product Man, supplying the Stylist from his Convenient Beauty Supply on Wheels The Hair Industry makes an interesting stories to tell that will help to establish the beginning edition of the Barber Shop Blog Reality Story, and there’s a story in every salon you walk into.

Time now, 9:19 am

After, breakfast, I returned to the motel to close my eyes for a minute, before the wheels get turning of the Convenient Beauty Supply on Wheels, and further along with this story of a Product Man supplying the hair industry with proper products to a professional job.

Time now, 10:45 am

The Product Man just called, checking in, we’ll be on the road real soon.

The Product Man has a very good system of business where he texts the Stylist before time, giving the Stylist’s time to respond, giving time to fill up the Van with the orders.

I’m glad, that I brought my piano along to keep me company.

I just couldn’t think of not practicing while I was away…so my Casio 66 key Keyboard goes where I go and the Yamaha 77 keys stays at home.

What’s up, Bernard. Good morning, De, ready to roll. Sure, I was born to roll.

I’m truly grateful to Bernard for taking time to taking me under his wings to showing me the inside out of his Convenient Beauty Supply on Wheels.

I enjoy Bernard’s company, and will surly enjoy the ride in and out of the Salon’s.

Bernard, is a regular kind of guy, talking trash, laughter and believe’s in letting the good times rolls, but when it comes to business the fun come a halt.

It’s strictly a business man with a system of supply and demand, as I over heard his conversation  from a stylist inquiring about her order.

Bernard had a pit stop before we got on the road.

I stayed in the van comfortably listening to the radio, chill in with the radio on.

Bernard returned, and were off, and all gas up, next stop Lansing.

We arrived and the first stop Bernard @ Work in side

Image result for hidden dressing room pictures

Well, Act 2 has just begun.

I had made my back to the dressing room.

 After, walking with the stylist’s and their model’s to the side stage area.

This is the small area where everyone is lined up according to the next  performer appear on stage.

Image result for stage side pictures

I really, wanted to see the feelings of emotions on the faces of the performers as they step, by, step traveling to side stage, or behind the stage to be up next.

 

Image result for stage side pictures

In this way of show readiness,  the Stylist’s will be lined up for the next act to knock em’ dead helping in starting a show on time.

Image result for model line up pictures

Thanksto one of the Hair Wars stage hands , that guided me back to the dressing room as we went back down the hall, round the corner through the kitchen and rode the elevator to the 2nd level…. next stop the dressing room.

The Dressing Room.

The last-minute stop on the way to twisting and turning  upon the stage.

Showing off their style and act to the world their 5 minute or 10 minute of fun and fame out there…on the runway

While, I was standing off to the side of the stage.

Image result for stage side pictures

My mind was torn between staying and watching the last remaining acts that are in the show

This would give me a break from the dress room and time to socialize as the show goes into intermission.

First things, first, and my sole obligation here today is in the dressing room area taking good notes that will be helpful to me in writing a good blog story off my dressing room moments watching others prepare for the Hair Wars.

Image result for hidden dressing room pictures

After, returning from stage side, the Dressing room was energized and once again the room was filled with new energy and new faces of creative artists getting ready for Act 2.

 Model call…Ok listen up when your name is called, Von Jour Reece and Donell Danny Davis 3-D line up at the rear of the room. 

 

 Fact or Fiction: The Impact of Cold Water on your Metabolism  After, having a cold drink of water, and truly nothing taste as GREAT!! as a cold glass of agua… (water in Spanish).

 Slowly, I made my way over to Rita’s corner.

Rita, is head lined from the Magic Palace salon.

 I couldn’t help but to noticed her earlier.

Styling and dressing her models, which all had hair matching the outfits giving an over look in style and fashion.

I was dying to meet her, but kept my composure to be sure.

 I walked over and introduced myself to her as she went on busy on in dressing and styling her models. 

It seems more like Rita was getting her crew ready for a Broadway Musical Show production in hair.

Victory Vintage Boutique Design Blog

The only different was…all of Rita’s model’s hair matched in accordance with their outfits made of 100 % hair.

Each of model’s hair had their own stage name…matching their outfits and hair style.

Blue Bubby,.. Pretty in Pink,.. Petty Flower,.. White Diamond,…Tangerine Orange,.. Petty Pink Poole,… Black Bird,,,, Afro Puff,… Cowboy…. and a Skunk.

Have you ever heard of anyone able to be in 2 places at one time?

If I could make a Wish tonight I Wish that I  could be in 2 places @ one time, is would be my Wish tonight.

Model call….Line up!!….The Magic Place Salon…Six Foe & Monte Cristoe..Alonzo Palmer, alright everybody follow me.

 My dear readers, for the most part, and I’m sure you will agree that , the dressing room , is a hustle and bushel of a fast moving pace, with no time to waste….the clock is ticking…..

It’s, actually entertainment in a room by it’s self

A kind of show getting ready for the show.

Image result for hidden dressing room pictures

 Oh, well….I’ll just  have to wait, like everyone else until the video comes out.

So on with the show… in the dressing room.

There goes Von Jour Reese, Fashion Designer….and friend of mine from pasted Hair Wars shows.

 let me see if I can catch him and get a word with him?

Hey Von!,… how are you doing?.

Great!, as he spoke with the gleam in his  eyes one of the old days of Glory of entertainment in the days of the beginning tales of Hair Wars story .

Image result for eyes of glory pictures

I would love to see Von, Vogue his way down the runway, stepping with Class and Poise of a true entertainer… capturing the audience as he puts on the fashion and Vogue.

I see that you’re opening Act 2 of the show.

Von…how are you going to bring it on, got any surprises for the audience?

Von shared with me that he will have 9 models ,and  will be show casing his 2015 Spring Collection, with little of this and a little that the you’ll just have to see on the video and see how it all comes together…knock them dead Von!

Image result for walk pictures Walking, across the room, I got the eye contact with of Mr. Alonzo Palmer, so I continued to walk his way.

Hey, Alonzo, you look great man.

 I haven’t seen you… in about 10 years or so, but, I have kept up with your work through the Hair Styling Magazine’s.

Image result for ten year image

How’s life treating you Alonzo?

Great!! De, working hard, little older and wiser, but I’m glad to be here just the same.

Alonzo’s  work and spirit as a profession platform artist is simply breath-taking with all his performances.

 Alonzo is a class elegant performance in style with the delivery from his beautiful Models striking a pose excellent in workmanship.

Alonzo, dates back in the beginning day of Hair Wars.

I remember, been on the line up back stage on one of the pasted Hair Wars shows.

My area was  along side of Alonzo.

We were getting ready for show time but, I couldn’t help but to look over @ his work as a showman and Gentleman preparing his models for show time.

Image result for watchful eye images

 I remember Alonzo’s long thick Dre’s, back in the day.

Today, Alonzo has his hair  cut short, but  still have the thickness of hair.

Good luck!… in your performance tonight, as we shook hands and parted.

Donnell Danny Davis 3D, OMG…. made an O G like myself feel good in remembering my name.

I also, remember this young blood, I watching him coming up in the ranks of Hair Wars.

Thank you Donnell Danny, for recognizing me and for my work and effort as the Hair Fighter in my days of glory as the Hair Fighter entertaining on the stages of Hair Wars.

Today, I salute you Danny, for your skit plan idea of Edward Scissors Hand reenactment. Image result for edward scissorhands images

Again, like everyone else waiting  on  the video to be released  to see how the tale of Edward Scissorhands unfold.

 I’m already impressed I what I see with the crew from Donnel Danny and looking forward to seeing the video.

What do I see over in the corner… Image result for color purple images is it the Color Purple, no It’s Pink, petty as she can be with a full body of curls that’s looking real Pretty Pink.

 Hairstylist, called Pink

Image result for color pink images

I love her innovated style of creations…as I watched her work and complemented on her long fashionable stilettos earrings she was wearing.

One day, while looking through Hair Design Magazine, there she was Pink…no but the Red and Blue with a touch of Gold…Super Pink Women.

Image result for supergirl images

Pink’s ad campaign position her poising as Super Woman.

Well, that super campaign caught the attention and the watchful eye of the Hair Fighter with the same color pact…all for one and one for all in the name of style. 

Call me any time 31362,3909

Call me any time 313623,3909

Pink, seems a little bit under pressure, as she worked finishing up one of her models.

I, couldn’t help but to over heard her speaking to one of the stage hands, that she was waiting on one of her models that had not yet arrive, and that’s enough to put any Stylist  a little on edge. Please watch you step

Barber on DutyTiff the Barber, was cutting and lining up her last remained models… taking time to give me a hug.

 I had to asked about her mother Phyllis Patillo, other Queen of Style back in the days of , growing in the ranks of Hair Wars.

Last, but not least on tonight’s line, before I go down stairs to enjoy the last remaining acts of the show.

Her name is Niece Hayes

Niece of Toledo, Ohio.

 The last time, I could remember  standing this close to her was the last show @ the Grand Quarters before demolition of the building decades ago.

Hey Niece, with arms wide open, as we embrace with a hug.

Girl,… it’s good to see you, still looking great! Niece Hayes.

Hey De, how are you’re doing?

Great!…I’m writing stores now, and still cutting and styling hair.

Wonderful, girl you know if I never had told you, I’ve always admired your work on  stage and in the beauty books.

Thank you De,  been a long time, thank God were still here for another Hair Wars show.

 

Proud grandparent Today Niece is proud as a camper could be @ a camp site with her family.

Niece, is here tonight with 2 generations of family support, her daughter’s now grow.

  Her young girls, back in the day  would perform with their mother keeping  things all  in the family in a styling way.

Today, 6 grand’s  now added to the act.

If only you could see  the look of a proud  mother’s face watching, as her daughter go over the dance route with the grand children, this site would bring a joyful tear to anyone’s eyes.

Model call..T.I. Pink…Tori J.DJ Reggie Regg…..Tiff the Barber…Adonnus Terrell..Nicey Hayes…line up!!

Well, well, well it seems as everyone by this time and were coming to the end of the act 2 Stylists my job here as media coverage is concern.

The Ball Room was packed, as I grooved my way in.

Dancing, letting the music captivating my mind clearly showed that I was having a great time.

I was not to hard to miss, Image result for light switch images as if a light switch was turned on as I entered the room.

Image result for eye images

The eyes were on me, and I was looking at crowd and up at the stage runway .

I noticed a lovely pair of eyes that was quite interesting.

She had that look  as if she really knew me.

I move over to get closer, it turns out she knew of me from my Hair Fighter image days.

She was with her co-worker’s from Morcell’s salon.

Now, I found this seating arrangement quite extraordinary, this makes this a good human interest story, co-worker setting all together enjoying the Hair Wars.

It was remarkable, in today’s world and time where most folks distance themselves from others. Image result for distance images

Here you have a picture of togetherness 6 in a row a fine example of Love, Peace and Hair Grease 6 little Stylist’s in a row.

Here’s the part that I’ve waiting to get into the VIP seating area.

 I walked right in…do you think my Media pass had something to do with it?

In the pasted, I couldn’t afford such luxuries and comforted  of VIP seating

Money is not problem...it's how you handle what you have....De Derrick

Money is not problem…it’s how you handle what you have….De Derrick

I guess, because of my show budget and always travel with and entourage and my believe is one for all  for one so I sat with general admission and my models and saved my money.

Wow, I’m here VIP…oh what a different a day makes when you’re sitting up front.

Image result for vip images

The first two styles as I walked proudly into VIP, that broke my concentration from looking at the act on the runway, but just one look was all it took when I see men wearing styles.

Walter McKinney, Actor & Talent Scout 313.523.8830

D J Mike,where music is art,404.731.3802

 I couldn’t pass this monument by

It was something so smooth and sensational about these two heads…being polite and making my introduction.

I asked them who did their hair

But, all the time in the back of my mind it look like the work of Michael Horner, the Wave Master, and sure enough both sounded Michael Horner.

Michael was not at the show in body, but was well represented by these two hair styles.

 I exchanged contact information with the two and Michael Horner, the Wave Master gets the credit for style.

It’s always good to see men holding on the style…hummm it seems like I’m not the only one holding onto style…give them both a hand…and one for myself.

I am happy I was able to catch the remaining few acts that are left in final showing of Hair Wars.

One in particular…was Necy Hayes.

Her grandson early back stage this  grandson was so bored, and just wanted to go home

I tried to cheer him up a bit but he was into his own attitude, and wasn’t hearing it…the boy wanted to go home.

But only if you could  see this boy now, getting down.

look at him now getting down dancing, smiling and having the time of his life as he walks his walk down the runway.

The show is over…and I’m sure we all had a ball walking out I was mesmerized by a stunning Mo Hawk…turns out that Mo Hawk was Ms. Thang.

 I remembering network with here.

It must have been a good 10 years since I’ve seen her last.

But, here’s to you Ms. Thang and the Mo Hawk that stop me in my tracks and ended the show.

Ms Thang Gloria was on last year Hair Wars line up.

….Well, well, well…just as every great show must come to an end, and so goes with Hair Wars.

We all had a good time and I truly hope you enjoy the reading.

 The lovely, O’Kela Neveaux, spoked  the last words of another successful Hair Wars.

show. 

While, walking out going with the flow I notice my man, Todd from the old, old, days of Hair Wars…still looks the the looks same.

We talked about the pasts shows and I asked him where is the next stop on the Hair Wars tour?

He told me I would have to ask Hump for that kind of information…..sure I’ll will call him myself, and ask about the next Hair Wars scheduled stop.

 I managed, to get a picture of the BIG guy.

Of course, no-show would be complete, if I didn’t get this networking photo of Hump, posing for pictures and signing autographs, as the crowd continues to filter out of the hotel. 

Walking down the hall way, I see Kristina, The Glam Tech standing off to side.

Kristina, was promoting her seminar class.

Kristina, will be sharing her award-winning skills with her Vintage Styling & Waving Class Monday, after the Hair Wars show.

She, gave me a beautiful program booklet announcing her Mother’s Day My Hair, My Story, My Glory Hair show.

 

And last, but, not lease.

The cream of the crop!

The Haricooper Man,  Scissorhands, my friend Stylist/Promotions Khalife”L.

aka Keith Watkins

We exchanged the biggest hugs that two men could every give, after not seeing each other for years.

Along with his lovely wife, Malika, Hair Stylist.

  Coordinated in white, and Malika is holding on tight to the Scissorhands man.

Working together side by side for Life…words out of the mouth  of Mr. Scissorhands, Kalife’L

Image result for edward scissorhands images

 I first met Khalife’L, in his creative state, where I first saw him on the Hair Wars stage performing as Edward Scissorhands.

The cat was bad, all dressed in black, and hair fixed in a scary curl and make up around the eyes.

If I didn’t know better I thought it was the Boogie Man

And when I looked at his hands he had 10 Scissor on each finger preparing to do a hair cut…that was skit originality and wonder showman ship.

We exchanged business cards and we  departed going  our separate ways. 

Well there you have it and that’s about how it goes @ a Hair Wars.

LOVE, PEACE AND HAIR GREASE from The Hair Show Blogger…invite us to your next Hair show…313623.3909

The Gift of Typing

 

 

Typewriter: relic that left us with QWERTY, carriage return, backspace ...

  The gift of typing is an amazing gift of speed that acquires time, disciple and practice in order to achieve the greatest performance with this skill.

I thank God consistently for His splendid gift of my typing skills that He has instilled  into me.

I have paid my dues in the area of typing, and  have gained many years of experience and  practice with typing.

…I’m De Derrick I’m a happy fellow…

 Happy with myself and Life for the first time in my Life.

I’m living the life of a  Hair Stylist/Barber/Blogger/Musician/Affiliate Marketer…and Typist.

You can find me on duty

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

Blogging 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.

Hump…The Health Hair man Jo Jo Lanier, how do you feel brother, and how’s Life been treating you?

Photo

Jo Jo …. Great! Life is well, as long as I can have my hands in good healthy Hair.

Hump… Jo Jo you are known for specializing in healthy Hair…what is healthy Hair?

Jo Jo …. Healthy Hair is Hair that is flowing with Life and movement Hair that’s alive with feelings of conditioners and proper care. 

Hump… Diet and Exercise has a lot to do with your Hair would you agree?

Jo Jo … Yes!! indeed, your hair is a part of your body everything that a good for you  shows by the of your Hair. Vitamins, diet and exercise will enhance the beauty of your Hair. The things that damage the Hair are excessive heat from curling your Hair every day, super strength relaxers when a mild or regular would do.

Hump… Jo Jo you have a very impressive resume in Hair beginning with a Bachelor degree in Cosmetology with Dudley University, North Carolina, Platform Artist, you have also been in the Billy Cason and Hair Wars shows and performed in a few plays. You’ve written column’s for the Carbines Entertainment Guide, Black Hair Magazine and currently writing for The Native Detroit Sun.

Hump… was all this part of your original  plan?

Jo Jo … Definitely not, things just started…I’ve made mistake along the way but learn from the value principles of making those mistake’s and learn from the mistake’s and at time I’ve become better by stepping up my game and take my time, not to rush things and let it happen.

Hump…How do Beauty School prepare the student after graduating.

Jo Jo …. Beauty School is design to show the student the basic ABC of the industry..most student thinks once they complete Beauty School they are ready to take on the World…not so you would need to work under someone to develop the ABC and grow to creative words that will help in your Styling abilities.

Hump… Jo Jo I’m African and my Hair is really ruff..I press it then hour later it’s like I have not done anything…what should I do?

Jo Jo…Great job with your African accent, but African Hair is strong Hair straight from the Mother land, which means you have to put a little more work into the press by press with the back of the comb and not the teeth.

Jo Jo graduate of Virginia Ferrell, Redford.

 

Brandy vs. Monica…Jo Jo is beating on Monica you decide by entering your vote @ Hairwars@yahoo.com

Alright Bro. Jo Jo The Healthy Hair man good having you on the show…my pleasure Hump…and as you at the end of our show we would like you to say…This is Jo Jo and I’ve been on Hair Wars the Around the World Internet Show.

The Before Look

hair-capital

The Before Look

Before there ever was a Detroit there was Hair..

Well, well, well…finally the week-end is upon us…1 more day before  Show time of The Greatness Show on Earth…The Moe Hair Show Review.

The most popular show around and it’s going down in The Hair Capital of The World…Detroit, known for styles, Cuts, Color and Curls Nail Art and Braids.

The Hair Stylist/Barbers, Manicurist,  Makeup  Artist, Braiders, along with their Stage Presentation, and the Education during and after the show styling tecqueces while the Videos rows on  shared into The Social Square that will be viewed in every port from Singapore to see ya ma ma in France where they dance.. The can can dance.

This is The Moe Hair Show annual visit to The Motor City and I not taking any chances on missing this Show Production in Hair & Fashion.

I feel just like a kid at Christmas Eve…you know that feeling of that I can’t sleep…wishing for the sun to open the blinds into another day…or for the grownups, sleeping steel, or straight up in a chair all night… affair of dozing off, in fear of messing up the Style and you wouldn’t want to do that would you?

wpid-20140504_064908.jpg

Hello, I’m De Derrick, aka “The Super Hair Fighter” it’s all in the Name…and it stuck like Bonding Glue…getting ready on this Before Look Blog…check me out later on The After log…I assure you that my hair will be curl later…Style Honor.

This is a before look before I decide on the style for The Show…

Mel’s Salon & Associate’s 6080 Woodward Ave., Detroit, Mi.. Is where I work to do my share in the Cutting & Styling of hair.

The time is 8:30 am

I’m sitting here after finisning a cut n curl, my next appointment is @ 11:00, Great this gives me time to go over my Check List before show time…checking it twice making sure that everything runs smooth.

You see…I ‘m not in the show, although I’ve travel on their tour and done all that before.

I even made a name for myself as a” Hair Fighter”,  my days  of old has not taken me from the stage lights yes, I miss it of course!  but…now I write, on the Internet Blogging each show that I can get to…but personally it’s hard to stay away from all the Hair War happening on the stage action, bright lights and a crowd, but I now have…I think, the best seat in the house.

I write the show review blog and of course everyone knows that the pen is mightier than any sword in any act…see my last Hair Show Story or the story of a man that always wanted to go to a Hair Show.

And for the reader of this Blog let it be known Invite me to a Show I’ll go home type it, publish it and now, Good or Bad the show revenue is now gone viral…meet The Worlds new form of advertising…The Blog.

Sitting @ my station, take the time to rest my mind…

Showtime is slowing creeping up but I want to allow it to get me in a rut… I’m a professional and I like to do things right when it comes to show Biz…now let me see…now where is that Check List?…everyone as a check list…now where’s mine? … talking to myself as I checked the last pocket inside my suite coat…here it is…Let’s see, oh I forgot to give my check list a name…I’ve in the habit of naming all of my check list dating back to 1993….I think I’ll call this list Show Call.

Now where was I…oh yeah, shoes shines, shirt press, socks, tie set, Tuxedo…omg!!

My Tuxedo paints are @ the tailor, My man, Tailor Man, The Man with a Stitch is hemming my pants…Oh no!

The Taylor Man

How could have I had forgotten my pants…now let me see where did I put Ken’s number?

wpid-20140504_115515.jpg

phoneThe phone rang…It’s Michelle… hey De , I was think about the show wanted to come by to talk about a style for the hair show…I told her sure , come on in

…don’t let the eyes fool ya…she will be ready on The After Blog and she will awake with a Smile of a Style…Smiling on The After Look.

I found The Tailor Man number and called him; he said he’ll be there until 6:00 am…ok Ken…and hung up.

Hi De, with the close eye look of The Before Look…never mind what you see now except for those Lovely Eyes that will catch up with on The After Look Blog.

Michelle is so excited about being my model, she told me about her past modeling experience with greats like Karl Reed, John Gooden and Nathanael I can see her blood racing as she was thinking about the upcoming show, or maybe the past shows that she model for , either way the Girl was Happy.

After going through some Hair Design Books and Prestige’s Magazine she stop and found a please short style, long gated on one side and layer throughout the top…sides molded down because we won’t need a curl only the smooth look of a Flat Iron.

Michelle was satisfied with her soon to be look, we will call it the After look.

I ask Michelle if she would drop me off at Woodward and the Blvd…so I can get my pants from the Tailor Man.

I’ll do better than that, I got to run in the Dollar Store that’s across the street, and we’ll meet up and I’ll bring you back to the Salon… OK…sounds like a plan to me…let’s go…I told the receptionist that I’ll be back as we left out the door.

Ok…Michelle, as we part…I’ll be over at Tailor Shop…Hi Ken, walking in, hey De…The Show is Sunday are you ready…as ready as I will ever be as soon as you give me those paints so I can cross them off of my Check List…I finish my transaction with Ken The Tailor Man and sealed it with a handshake, thanks and come again.

When I came out of the shop Michelle is setting with the motor running calling let’s go. The ride to the shop was short but had time to finish my check List.

Look for the follow-up Blog which will be called The After Look.

The Last Cut of

The only reason for cutting hair  is to add to one’s comfort and to keep up one’s appearance. The old-fashioned notion that frequent cutting of the hair and even shaving the scalp would augment its thickness has long since been completely discarded. The source of this fallacy must have been the gardener’s success at “cutting back” rose bushes and other shrubs to make them grow more successfully.

The hair of the head which the naked eye discerns is fully developed, so no shaving or cutting can possibly affect the rate of its growth or influence its thickness. Painstaking research independents proved the scientific fact that no part of the hair shaft above the surface of the scalp is capable of independent growth…All growth develop within the hair sheath…Take for example may last cut of a long day…Say hello to Reggie Jr… is a young man that takes it bladed.

Reggie is 12 years  plays the piano, and during well in school with the help of family mentors; and his Grandmother Vacie is my co-worker…and  we work side by side @ Mel’s Salon & Associate…so you know shes watching. The bladed Fade is a choice of style…and truly will  not augment its  thickness no way…frankly a Bladed Fade happen to be one of my specialties…it looks sharp and for the last Cut  of Today it saves time because there will be no lining…the lining is in the front..so my friends check Reggie Jr. and give us a “like”
