Finally, here is the Ayurvedic hair oil recipe that I’ve been using in all my recent wash day posts. The main Ayurvedic herbs are amla, brahmi and fenugreek seeds.

Any guesses on my natural hair type or texture? I know I have type 4 hair, but honestly I feel like I could claim type 4a, 4b, or 4c depending on what section of my head you are looking at. And I think my hair texture could be wiry, cottony or thready — I’m not really sure. But in the…
I’ve been trying to see how many weeks I can go without shampooing. It had been 3 weeks since my last shampoo wash day. Since then I’ve been conditioner washing (or co-washing) my scalp with each wash day. But my scalp started itching me leading up to this wash day, so I knew it was time to shampoo. I’m thinking…
After getting my finger coils to last nine days using Eco Styler gel, I decided to give it another go in the hopes that I can make this once a week wash day a thing. This wash day features some new things, like my first time using an Ayurvedic hair paste and a new hair product. The herbs I chose…
It’s day 27 on my natural hair journey and after what has been months of online research. I am still overwhelmed at the amount of content that there is online about natural hair.

Hey guys! Since I won’t be blogging about relaxed hair too much anymore. And a lot of the ladies that I listed in my previous list of relaxed hair care vloggers have gone natural or stopped uploading. I compiled an updated list of ladies on YouTube who are on relaxed hair journeys right now. They all upload content relating to their hair…
It’s been about a week since cutting off my relaxed hair. And for every room I walked into (or person I encountered) I was met with various reactions — some interactions were more awkward than others. But despite being nervous about each impending interaction, I think I faired pretty well. The hardest part for me was talking about my hair.…
First of all, for every person that has clicked onto my little blog in search of relaxed hair care or information about my hair journey, THANK YOU! It’s been an amazing 6 years blogging about my relaxed hair and I have nothing negative to say about it, specifically or generally. It’s just that right now, I’m moving on to something…
