Expert or Not

In today's world , it has  become very hard to keep up with all the things going around you. With technology in its advance stages, we can keep up with the happenings every second of the day. Locally, we rely on the local new stations and local newspaper, however sometimes we want to know things that are catered more towards our own personal lives. We search the web, looking for different articles relating to what we need. Lately, we have been dependent upon blogs to discover new information. However, when reading the blogs we have to understand not all blog writers are experts in what they write. Some merely write based on personal experiences or just giving their opinion on a particular subject.

One thing I like to research online is products to use on my natural hair. Since I have not use an relaxer in about 7 years, I am continuously looking for D.I.Y. (Do-It-Yourself ) products or products that actual work. I actually look at videos about protective styles as well. So I came across this neat blog on natural hair called The Nappy Life, the name it self would be controversial to some because not all natural hair is "nappy". There are  different textures of hair which make us all unique in our own right. Here is a video I found that discuss the different thoughts about good and bad hair:



The writer for The Nappy Life , is not an actual expert but an individual person giving advice based on what works for her and may work for others. She also don't came to be an expert in the area of knowing what works and don't  work for  women whom have natural hair or transitioning to natural hair.  She does disclose in her biography section that she is giving information based on her own journey to being natural after loss of hair due to poor treatment and bad relaxers(perms). She give helpful tips and also welcome suggestions. This is very user friendly blog with multiple tabs to explore different areas regarding natural hair such as  videos, length retention, her actual journey to being natural, henna dye, etc. Overall, the writer gives the good, bad and ugly when faced with challenges surrounding natural hair. I appreciate her blog because it provides a more realistic and straight to the point view and the step by step results are great guides as well.  Here is a video that she created :
