Change the ENERGY.

Today people are so ANGRY.  It's actually very sad.  When you stand outside of yourself or your environment, you will see it unless you are apart of the growing tribe of angry.  I encourage people to smile more.  Lately, I've seen alot of angry people. I recently went out of town and went to a restaurant with my family.  The server wasn't very polite.  Come to find out she wasn't suppose to be outside for long, being as though she is asthmatic.  When she spoke of her irritation, I said thank you for sharing that.  Still she was the server and I decided not to let her irritation effect me.  She didn't change much, but I chose to not entertain the ugly and give it some beauty.  What I learn daily is that people will try to steal your joy or if they are miserable they want you to be on their level.  I choose to bring others to the light and radiate positive energy.  Another situation I encountered was over the phone.  I placed a call, and greeted the rep with appreciation and her response was nasty.  If you knew me, you would know it raised a brow.  I could not give her the ugly that she gave me so I remained appreciative and kind.  When I tell you this chick had to have been having an ugly moment, but who knows.  However, I got what I needed and couldn't even feed into how rude she was, so I stayed in control of me.   In all things its what we allow to happen, Don't allow a dark cloud to put a cast on your SUNSHINE.  It's the smiles and the kind words along with encouragement that will grown happier people. " Even in an ugly situation, a flower can still blossom if you give it the right kind of love and water".  
 If you in the process of healing, spreading love, encouraging others, loving, etc, we know you know how to "B.E" (beauty especially) amazing.  We XXpose your greatness by XXposurhair

GET EXCITED !!!!

Just because you woke up today, signifies purpose.  It's a typical response to; " How are you today ?".  But if you think about its true.  God didn't make no mistake when he brought you to this earth and live under his reign.  Each day gives you and opportunity to fix what is wrong, get better if you are sick, help someone in need or just be a better you.  Greet your day with love, hope, and dreams.  When you are living for purpose and come to know who you are, the choice is easy.  Always choose you at the head of major decisions and know when to step outside of yourself for clarity.  It doesn't make you selfish, unless its ALWAYS about you.  I learned long time ago that if I don't take care of my mental, I can't take care of my physical.  If those things are shot, then how can I take care of anyone else?  

I don't know about you, but this was an eye opener for me.  So I say to you get excited about the possiblities that are thrown you way.  If it goes bad, maybe its in Gods plan for your path.  Don't allow the bad stuff to effect the good stuff.  When you learn your purpose as we all do at different times in our lives, move forward in it.  Everyone won't understand the greatness in which you are headed.  It's time to take control and celebrate.  When you see where you are, look back on where you have come from.  It's called elevation.  If things are the same as they were in the past, then its time to try something new.  Again, life is based on possibilities.  That's why we should get excited about the opportunity to GROW.  Nothing is placed on you that you can't handle, it's your mental space and energy that gets you to the next phase of your life.  We are spiritual beings living a human XXperience.  You are no mistake, "YOU ARE A CELEBRATION OF LIFE & PURPOSE" .  We invite you to get XXposed & "B.E" (beauty especially) by XXposurhair.  A place of inspiration, love, healing, etiquette, etc.  XXpose the Inner you. 

 

Toxic Relationships

No more Toxic Relationships.

To some degree we all want a healthy relationship, but we tend to get into TOXIC relationships.  Interesting enough, I just recently had an opportunity to identify with someone who was in a TOXIC relationship. 

• But the bigger question is why is it toxic ?  
• Where does it stimulate from ?  
• How do you know ? 
•  Is there a pattern to having or building toxic relationships ?

Sometimes we XXperience TOXIC relationships in our family and therefore we transfer that energy to our  intimate relationships.  It's actually true.  The odd part is that it's not easily detected.  If you were raised to have TOXIC relationship then its harder to acknowledge the turmoil or the difficulty in getting along with your mate.  When people see that type of interaction, it raises a brow. The reason it does, is because it shows difficulty. 
Here's the thing with that:  IF you want to get better, then evaluate yourself and pray on it.  Rest in faith and allow god to do his work through the Universe.  Channel that energy to work in your favor.  The decision will always be up to you.  Some people do well in a toxic relationship and most don't.  It takes a strong person to see themselves and accept who they are and make the necessary changes for a healthier life.  If you often see yourself getting angry, pinpointing flaws, contradicting yourself, accepting things you strongly disagree with, then it's time to make a chnge.  Those are some of the signs, and now it time for the better.   We all want some peace somehow.  Not all of us know how to let go of the bad stuff in our lives.  But, if we really want a sound mind and healthier relationships we must learn to release & heal.  Toxic relationships can be build chaos and harm to the heart or life.  Come out of your emotions to  see and accept reality.   So that you can think clearly.   You have the ability to control you, not others.  Let go of the toxins and embrace the breathe of fresh air to make better decisions.   You've just been XXposed to "BE" (beauty especially) by XXposurhair.

WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY?

It's something to think about if that is you or someone you know that is, angry.

•  Do you know where the anger comes from ? 
•  Do/Did you see it in yourself ? or was it others that saw/see the change ? 
•  Are you alone a lot ?  Do you enjoy people or do they enjoy you ?  
• When will you let go ?  
• Is being angry solving anything?

Here's a suggestion as to how to identify with the problem.  First, gain a peace of mind.  You may ask, how do I do that ?  Well think about how much time you have given that negative energy and then think about how much time you are willing to give the positive energy .  You have to know that you are important.  You have to love you and it will teach others how to love you.  Being angry doesn't solve anything most of the time, if not all the time.  It can fuel things in a positive way or it can add to the frustration and create emotionally unhealthy decisions.  See the negative is already an option, so feed into the positive,  It, too is an option.  You miss your blessings when you are so angry then ask god, why didn't you help me?  When he placed the help in your face, while kicking misery away.  Pay attention when you ask for something.  Rest in faith if you believe.  If your life is too cluttered, I suggest you clean out your closet, because everything can't fit if you don't make room.  This is a great way to start healing from your anger and move forward.  Remember, the past already happened.  You can't change it, but you have the power to make the present and future  better.  You are worthy of greatness and it begins with peace.  Focus on that, and the rest will come. We invite you to get XXposed to "B.E" (beauty especially )  and live peacefully by XXposurhair.

Who Are You?

• Do you know who you are ?  
• Do you know what you want ?
•  Do you dream dreams that give you hope?  
• If you haven't gotten a chance to meet yourself, isn't if time you did ?  

Some of us are like stray cats trying to find our way, trying to see if we even want to pursue our dreams or just keep dreaming.  Ask yourself: 

•  how's life now? 
•  will it provide me the life I really want?
• Am I reaching my full potential ?
• Do I love what I do ?
• Is this my passion, or do I have a passion for this ?

Like these questions make sense. right ?   Sometimes its the reason why we are good. great or XXtraordinary.  It's okay to be certain of yourself, you don't have to be overly cocky or arrogant.  Compliments are gifts of encouragement. confirmation, or the chameleon that you present.  Let you energy GLOW and radiate the world to "B.E" (beauty especially).  There's no other like you, center your energy and flow lightly.  You've just been XXposed by XXposurhair.

Etiquette

How a lady carries herself " THE DO's and DON'Ts"  

• Ladies if you are African-American woman or Dark complextion it is NOT right to wear white undergarments under lite or white clothing.  The suggested color to wear under white or light color clothing is black or nude.  No one needs to see what size your undergarments are, that is of personal matter.
• Ladies if you are of Light skin or caucasion complexion do not wear black under white clothing,  Its only fair to excercise proper clothing etiquette.  The suggested color to wear under light or white clothing is white, nude, or neutral under garments.  It's proper to wear undergarments that do not show completely against your garment of choice.
• If YOU WEAR BLACK, PLEASE DO NOT wear white or very light underwear under lightweighted , majority spandex,or majority lycra.  These materials stretch and reveal more to the eye, especially those well endowed/ bottom heavy.

IF YOU ARE A WOMAN WHO LIKES LYCRA, does Lycra like you ? 

 Here's how you can tell:

• When you can see your skin glisten against the material, please be sure to wear something to cover your rear-end.  You are blessed and it an be intimidating, but I envy yall honey.  But lets be a little more aware of how we wear our clothes and How we want people to see us.
• If you are a plus size woman Lycra can be a bit embarrassing when wearing the wrong leggings, not jeggings.  Leggings should be worn under clothing that falls below the line, giving room to bend without embarrassment nor disrespect.  

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SIT PROPERLY w/ a Dress on ?

• When sitting down slide your arm/hand slight from the back of the thigh down to cover what you will be sitting on.
• If you are wearing a form fitted dress, a little curve/tilt in the leg area will give you more comfort.
• If you are wearing a beaded dress/ gown, I suggest don't sit.  If you choose to sit, find a chair that hair fabric seating that does not stick to the beaded garment of choice.

LOW-RISE shouldn' t be worn if:

• You are beautifully endowed/ bottom heavy
• If you are uniquely shaped & it doesn't compliment you
• If you are going to spend the day pulling up your pants
• If you have a fluffy or heavy mid-section, it will enhance it
• If you are insecure of your body
• 

Listen when you see clothing that is our of order, say something.  It doesn't have to be rude. I't's all about presentation.  How we present it can be positive and negative.  If we are going to give constructive criticism then why not do it in a positive way.  No one wants to feel worse about themselves than what he/she already does.   Take a moment and listen to some of your friends and how they talk about themselves and the things they want to correct.  Listen hard enough,  they may be worse on themselves than others, real talk.  The thing is, you would never think such.  

Let's help each other present each other in a great way.  Get XXposed Tell'em you rep "B.E" (beauty especially ) by XXposurhair.com .  

Give Peace A Chance

 

Isn't that something we all want.  I know, some of us don't even know how to get it.  Maybe you don't get it because you won't acknowledge you likes and your dislikes in comfort.  Like peace, allows your days to be more beautiful, it feels angelic in your heart.  So, I ask you; Will you give PEACE A CHANCE ?,  It's something we need in self, we want peace in our relationships and interactions with others.  You smile more with peace in your heart and invite others to do the same,  For the people that want peace, first remember the past has already happened, so let it go.  If there is some thing in your past that needs addressing in order to move forward, I suggest acknowledge it and address it and " LET IT GO ".  You can't change it so, why try, but you can move forward and make it better.  Peace has a hard time coming into your life because its new.  If you are use to chaotic situations or relations.  Time for change, you can't keep living like that.  Here's the thing you need balance in your life in order to make balanced decisions.  This is where meditation would be good.  It allows your body and mind to relax.  It helps you find your center, which identifies with having peace.  So I ask you, WILL YOU GIVE PEACE, A CHANCE?  If you can take a chance on things that don't make you better, certainly you can take the " ULTIMATE CHANCE, ON YOURSELF " !  Don't just let it happen, let it "BE"  (beauty especially ) amazing.  You've just been XXposed by XXposurhair.






 

Meditate on PEACE,

Hired!!!!

Are you hired for your knowledge, status , or 
credibility ?  Something to think about.  If you hold a job, how or why did you get hired ?  It's food for thought, society takes it for granted how sometimes we get these jobs.  We are raised or taught that getting a good education will lead you to a good job. Does it really ?   Because in today's society it appears that more people are getting hired because of who they know.  Mostly about who you know,  that's why people gravitate to celebrities, or well- known person(s).  Not, because they have understanding of the job, but the great connect.  However, some people are hired based upon credibility, is that the same thing ? but, a nicer way of saying you too got connected.  Yet, again we are taught, that education is key; or should we just Go the the best or popular schools, hangouts, etc.,.. and wait to meet the right person to give me a job I have no clue how to do. Wouldn't you want to be hired for your knowledge, not just who you know ? and gain your own credibility.  But, let's not get it mistaken, we all have to start somewhere. Remember, when you invite greatness, you never know how it's gonna happen, but it happens.  So "BE" amazing, and have knowledge of your credible status.  Consider yourself XXposed by XXposurhair.

Raindance

Did you just look at that as if it made no sense? lol.  After you read this you may think a little differently.  If your feeling down, just lost something or someone precious, DANCE.  It's time for clarity, DANCE through the storm.  Lose control like there's no tomorrow.,sing as if its your last breath. It's a celebration, being able to understand that in the midst of the storm there's that  possibility of hope.  So dance, its not like they can see you sing in the rain, but they can watch you Dance through the storm.  Dance as if you just received what you've been wanting.  That's what its all about : celebrating the good with the bad, and keeping hope.  I invite you to "BE" amazing, and  get XXposed to the life you deserve. 

The Love of a Pain Comforter

I bet you are asking what is a PAIN COMFORTER ?  Well I am a person who studies people and I find that LOVE of all things is not something that is always embraced.  To some people love is pain.  I learned this through a conversation with my mother.  As she spoke it helped me to see another avenue of what love does or is, to some people.  We all want to be needed or loved and respected.  However, love has hurt some people, or shall I say some people have internalized pain and do not know how to let go.  We say we want out of a bad or uncomfortable situation, but we don't know how to leave it alone.  A lot of the times the reason why we can't leave it alone is because it's all we know or we think that's all we are going to get or deserving of.  That is far from truth, but it shows you how easily we find comfort in hurting.  Let's find comfort in letting go of the pain, Let's embrace love, enough to receive it and give it.  We at some point get hurt, but we are human.  God always sends an angel, and you never when they are going to show up.  I suggest in the mist on comfort of pain, rest in faith and receive the love waiting to show you a different path.  This is a time to heal, a time to love & be loved, let go of the anger.   XXperience a new you, and embrace the idea to be " B.E " ( beauty especially ).

Make-Up

 It's funny huh, yep MAKE-UP.  It's the thing we do or wear in order for people not to see our pain or to camoflouge the unknown or the reoognizeable  So, I ask how do you wear your Make-up ?  When it comes to image some will pretty or doll themselves up so that you can't see past the pretty picture.  It doesn't mean you're ugly but if you lack internally its a must to disguise the unknown.  It's ok to hurt, your only human.  Maybe if you didn't disguise yourself so much, people would reach out to help.  Even if you feel hopeless, it's ok because your not by yourself, maybe if you said something then it would open the doors for others as well.  Never mind what society says, what say you?

Some people Make-up by apologizing for his or her actions.  If we paid more attention to the habits of others maybe we wouldn't have to make-up at all.   But again, how do you make-up?
Do you cover up your pain with a pretty picture or do you make-up due to your actions?  Think about it.  You've been XXposed, so embrace the Inner you and just "B.E" (beauty especially ).

Hair Gossip | How To Wear Commercial Hair

Ladies and Gents, when wearing commercial hair, it should look natural.  I see so many people wanting to hang with the JONES', like really.  Okay so here is a tip:

• Your tracks or bond should not show
• Your color should match the extensions or blend 
• Purchase hair that matches your texture, not what you wish you had
• Cleanse the hair as if it were you own, weekly, not once (1) a month
• Purchase quality hair whether it's imported or or pre-packaged
• Choose hair colors that compliment your skin, not colors you wished you could wear
• Choose a length of hair you can easily care for, not just keeping up with the Kardashians
• Make sure you seek a professional for proper installation of commercial hair
• Be sure to protect your edges, since they are fragile

It's time someone says something. We can't keep allowing our sisters and brothers to wear horrible hair or look untamed.  Someone has to educate you on how to look and they should educate you on wearing extensions. Get XXposed to "B.E", we ca't talk about something and not offer solution, It's all about elevation and motivation.  We invite you to get XXposed by xxposurhair.com

Celebrate Self and Unveil the Inner You

Some of us don't know how to celebrate ourselves, nor celebrate others.  People look at me funny or wonder what my motives are just because I wanna see them successful.  Why would I not celebrate someone for their greatness, sometimes its another avenue to encourage someone to live his/her dreams.  We can plant a seed and embrace the journey when we are on the right path within ourselves.  Whenever I see someone  doing great things, it shows me how GOD works and when blessings are being cast I'm always in line.  Sometimes you have to celebrate others in order to see who you are.  People look at me crazy when I start dancing or scream with excitement over the progress they are making in their lives.  Don't get it twisted they also tend to look at me like," it's not that serious".  You can't tell me how to react to your greatness.  Maybe I'm dancing for you, silly. 
 
Celebrate self by feeding your soul daily on how amazing you are.  Afterall you do represent "B.E." ( Beauty Especially) and that means nothing but amazing within self. Learn to celebrate who you are no matter what.  I tell my friends and teach others that people are not always okay with you being who you are.  It represents the ying/yang of the world.  Feel comfortable in your own skin, sure people are gonna look at you crazy, because sometimes they wish they could do the same.  Consider yourself  XXposed and unveil the inner you.

Hair Etiquette | Hair Gossip

HAIRGOSSIP,

Let's talk hair, Healthy hair, Commercial hair, Damaged hair, Natural hair, Locs, etc  .Hair has so many forms, but let's start with " HAIR ETIQUETTE":

PROPER SHAMPOOING:

• Do you know how to shampoo your hair ?
• How often should I shampoo my hair ?
• What type of shampoo should you use ? 
• Is your hair oily, dry, damaged, normal, or combination ?
• Are you allergic to sulfur? 
• What type of conditioner do I use?
• How should my hair feel ? 
• Do you drink enough water ?

These are just a few questions to think about when taming your hair.

But here's the answer: Shampoo hair daily if you are caucasion w/ oily hair, ethnic is every 3 to 5 days based on the oil build-up in the hair. Don't purchase shampoos due to the smell, choose your shampoo according to the texture and scalp.  Many products have sulfur in them, so be sure to read the label and know the names for sulfur in case of allergic reaction. Choose the conditioner on the same product line as your shampoo choice.  After cleansing and conditioning the hair,, it should feel softer and detangle easy, if not I suggest your XXperienced stylist to clip those ends.  Stay tuned, because this hair thing has so many avenues.

Healing from Anger

If you know what angers you, then what makes you better? 

Some would say talk about it, some would say pray about it, some would say " get over it ", but what would you say ?  The ultimate decision on healing depends on you and its emphasized through your faith.  

Do you know what you are healing from? 

It's time to be better.  I always emphasize that you get better when you get sick and tired of being sick and tired.  We all go through some type of heartache, whether it be from a mate, friend, job, or family.  It's the getting over it, that makes more of an impact.  If you get past DAY 1, then honey you are off to a great start.  We must first diagnose our issue, then address it, then come up with a resolution versus sitting or internalizing pain.  

Sometimes you have to ask yourself: 

Have I been here before ?

If your answer is yes, then amen.  

Now, how do I get to the healing?  

Ultimately the answer is always in you, exercise your faith and have hope.  God wants us to be prisoners of hope, it builds character, it maximizes dreams, it helps you see where you are going and maybe where you wanna go.  When you can acknowledge what is going on with you internally, it will XXternally reveal the inner you.

Healthy Relationships

Is your relationship(s) healthy for you ?  It's something we should think about from time to time.  If it doesn't make you feel good or compliment you, then why do it ?  We often deal or carry on relationships that are not healthy for us.  When we compromise too much of ourselves we forget who we are.  If we treat our relationships like our bodies, then maybe we would make better decisions.  But we should remember we are human. Identify with who you are in order for you carry healthy relationships.  How we get along with or mother, fathers, siblings, etc may reflect what we attract.  Nothing can come into your life without an invitation.  Take the time to acknowledge your pain and your blessings so you can create balance and have healthier realationships.
