In Love With My Natural
So, as most of you know, I have been natural now for an entire year. I transitioned using a weave for a year and then have been rocking my perm free hair for a year. Don’t get me wrong, it has been a slight struggle learning about my hair and finding the products that work [...]
Product Review: Pantene Relaxed and Natural Breakage Defense Mask Deep Conditioning
Alright ladies. I heard some wonderful things about this mask and I decided to try it. I was a little sceptical because its Pantene (you know made for pink folks). I decided to use the Mask as a deep conditioner. The product was thick and moisturizing and has a light floral scent to it.
As soon [...]
Product Review: Lustrasilk Shea Butter and Mango
Ladies, I am in love again. Who knew these cheap products would do such wonderful magic on my hair!! I used to use Cholesterol products on my hair as a relaxed girl and I have no idea why I stopped using what worked for me. I used the Cholesterol and mixed it with my deep [...]
The Truth About Your Flat Iron

Product Review: Herbal Essence Hello Hydration
Lately, my hair and I have not been the best of friends. I could never find the right products to keep my thin (strands not dense) 3c/4a (straw to coffee stirrer curl pattern) hair moisturized and frizz free. In its unpressed form, my hair was dry by the end of the day and prone to [...]

Product Review: Mixed Chicks
So you already know I am a professed product junkie. I am currenlty on the hunt for a product that gently cleanses my hair, a conditioner that restores moisture and helps me detangle without losing a small child’s hair when I brush, and a leave in that defines my curls on my wash and go [...]
I’m scared for Black women….
I was walking around downtown this past weekend and a few things caught my eye. Specifically, I saw a number of Black women with hair problems that seemed to stem from just a lack of knowledge of how to take care of their hair properly.

Product Review: Kinky Curly

I admit to being a product junkie. If someone raves about something, I [...]
