Concentration on Hydration
It’s getting cold and I’m starting to get inquiries about products that help keep moisture in harsh cold conditions. IT’S NOT WHAT YOU PUT ON, IT’S WHAT YOU DIDN’T PUT IN! We all forget to drink enough water when it’s cold outside. Dehydration trends among people of all ages are at their highest in the holiday season. We…

“I need a perm”
I’ve been gone for a while travelling for the summer. I had an opportunity to take in Caribbana in Toronto, Ontario and I’ve gone down south which wasn’t as much for travel, but I got kidnapped for a day by my crew in Atlanta and taken on a whirlwind vacation for a day. In this…

Front Labels vs Back Labels
This post is for everyone on the natural journey. Those of us living the loc life, the beginners and the vets.

Heat and Hair
Got a question from a reader this week that I thought would make for a good post. “…is it ok to put heat in my hair if I’m trying to go natural? My last perm was 6 months ago…” At the six month mark you should have at least six inches of new growth. This…

Spray Bottle Love
Here’s a tip that I remember from my first summer of being natural. Buy a spray bottle that will fit in your purse and each day fill it with your favorite leave-in conditioner and a small amount of water. When you’re wearing a style that tends to dry out through the day, use this mixture…

Butter Baby!!
Let’s start by saying that it takes quite a bit to get a product review out of any of the team here at OohMyHair.com but this product has proven to be the jam! This has stood up to the texture test and provided moisture across the board in a consistent manner from silky wispy curls,…

Perception Deception (don’t believe the hype)
Nobody prepares you for the spectacle you may become the further into the natural journey you travel. I remember my first month natural, people talked about how they were surprised that my hair was essentially a bunch of ringlets, I still can’t imagine exactly what they were expecting. There are some people, even African-Americans that hear the word…
