Dimension and Shape
The rules of hair don’t change when you’re natural. Flat color, lack of shape, lack of luster are still on the no-go list. In most instances if you’ve gone completely natural, as in no chemical process at all, your natural hair color is not all one thing. Everyone needs to do something with their ends,…

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. We selected our paths and lifestyles in many cases seeking a better way of going about accepting and managing what we were born with. We are a group of people constantly seeking hair truths,…

The Color Factor
We love LA Hair on We TV and if you’re looking for some great hair tips when you’re not on this site, Ms. Kim Kimble and her crew drop gems throughout the show in between the drama. Check it out! (Didn’t get paid for that plug, just love their work) On last night’s episode Ms. Kimble was…

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…

Slip Free Scarf…
Let’s start off acknowledging that there is no such thing unless it’s a bonnet with unbearably tight elastic. The lies people tell to sell product is unreal. We tried this contraption which is sold at the superstore that shall not be named “W____art” and there has been a nightly struggle to wake up and find…

Transition in the mind…
Most of you know I’m on the Loc Journey. This is just about the most difficult hair decision I’ve ever had to make. This, I feel is more permanent than a relaxer. I have committed to one hairstyle, and that’s the first time I’ve ever done that in my entire life. When my hair was…

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…

Loc Life Thus Far
So I started this blog as a way to give back for the past decade of having natural hair. I’m starting on this journey with locs (sometimes referred to as dreadlocks). I usually am able to manipulate my curl pattern to submit to my will but this new phase in life is proving the exact opposite. I…

We Thought You’d Laugh
Here at OohMyHair.com we love a YouTube comedy crew called Dormtainment. This week they posted a skit revolving around natural hair and we thought our followers would enjoy. As we don’t agree with every perspective portrayed in the skit a couple of us have been through a similar situation and thought that our readers would enjoy holding the…
