Recovery Motivation
The wedding is over, it was absolutely gorgeous, and I get my hair back. There’s a phase that we all go through on the wash day after we know we’ve been acting funny towards our hair. I went into instant heat damage detection mode. I watched every single strand that left my hair and freaked myselfContinue reading “Recovery Motivation”
Hair Braiding Consumer Basics
For decades in the black community you weren’t considered an official braider unless you just arrived from Africa. The laws were non-existent and there was a time that lots of people ran out of edges (hairline damage). Over the years there have been some attempts at regulation, but overall there are still people braiding hairContinue reading “Hair Braiding Consumer Basics”
What Just Happened?
There I was just minding my own business following the instructions on some random video about how to dry my hair using the “banding” method.

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!

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 English: A spray bottle.style that tends to dry out through the day,Continue reading “Spray Bottle Love”
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 findContinue reading “Slip Free Scarf…”
