While talking to my friend (who also has natural hair), she confessed to me that she made a hair appointment to go get a virgin perm. I was shocked and horrified! “NOOOO!” I screamed on the other line. Her reason: manageability.
The first thing I said to her is “everyone with natural hair will have issues [...]

Read the Ingredients
One of the things I loathe about having natural hair is reading the ingredients of products. In the real world, who has time to do that?? Really?!
One of the things I LOVE about having natural hair is reading the ingredients of products. Although time consuming, knowledge is power…and a beautiful head of hair.
As a naturalist, there are [...]

Hair Growth – Flax Seed Oil
Praise the Lord for some Flax Seed Oil!! I was lost but now I’m found!!
My mother takes Flax Seed Oil religiously and her hair is up to her underwear strap. LOL, yes, the panty line. Although she straightens her hair, she has 2B/3A natural hair. Then again, Cuban blood will do that. Either way, she got [...]

Beach Hair Care/Product Review
Everyone knows I’m a beach head. However, THE BEACH IS NOT NATURAL HAIR FRIENDLY!! The salty water and the sun can rip your hair apart if you let it. OR you can always use the heat to your advatage!! For Memorial Day, I went to the beach (yes, before giving myself the protein conditioner) for about two [...]

Great Deep Conditioner with Precautions
Sorry everyone!! I started a new job (albeit unpaid) and I’ve been trying to brace myself with the busyness.
Over the Memorial weekend, after going to the beach, I gave myself a deep protein condition. I simply used 2 eggs, mayonnaise, and olive oil. I fairly eyeballed the amount so that it was a creamy light yellow [...]

Update on Glycerine
I used my vegetable glycerine mix (VG and water) and I loved it! I didn’t care for the light sticky feeling that I got on my neck from the residue, but its really great. My curls are hydrated and I can really see and feel a difference.
In my conquest for extra moisture, I looked at the Long Hair [...]

Shea Butter Remix
I’ve decided to remix my Shea butter for a number of reasons. First, I can’t stand the smell. At first it was tolerable but GOOD LORD…its funky. I don’t care to smell liked smoked branches. Secondly, I wanted to experiment. I wanted a whipped Shea butter and not a hard chunky/crumbly product. I’m very low on money…obviously [...]

Comparison Pics
Yeah, my hair hasn’t grown out as much as I’d like it to but whatever…THERE’S GROWTH!
In the last pic, I didn’t pick my fro out, I simply finger-combed my hair in a backward direction with Aussi Moist Conditioner and did not rinse it out*. Its an idea that I got from UmmACurlieGirlie who was recently featured on [...]

Meet My Friend Moisture!
If you’re transitioning…you’re probably still wondering how to make your hair more manageable and your edge’s naps less noticeable. Drama.
Braids never hurt nobody. (Yes, double negative.) But if braids, crinkles, and twist-like hairstyles are getting old, try simply wearing it back and maintaining moisture. I think wearing it back will get you accustomed to not having free flowing [...]
