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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Butter Me Up
I just purchased my first jar of shea butter (YAY!) and I’m not sure what to do!! After NajahFace went off about using natural products on natural hair (video below), I decided to change a couple of things. Plus my hair is uber-dry for some reason so I thought maybe shea butter will really do [...]

Flashback
I know earlier I grunted about not transitioning and just cutting it all of at first glance of new growth – but don’t do that. I recant. If I could do it all over again, would I transition? Absolutely, but not for so long.
I think 3-4 months is great because it gives you a sense [...]

Product Review – Thumbs Up
At the suggestion of my good college buddy MissHerring, I decided to splurge and buy Neutrogena Triple Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner. I had my reservations because the shampoo contains Sulfate which, every Naturalist knows, is just WRONG! Using it is a sin and curse! However, I absolutely adore MissHerring’s hair and since I know she’s not crazy, [...]

If You Can’t Eat It…
I found a fabulous website about hair conditioners that you can make at home right in your kitchen!! I already did the honey olive oil conditioner. I wasn’t too crazy about it because I think I put too much honey. But then again, I have nothing to compare it to. I’m going to try the avocado [...]
