Thank you to everyone who has ever read my blog, engaged with me on a post, sent me a message and/or supported my blog. You’ve made this blog more fulfilling than I could’ve ever anticipated. I started this blog back in 2012 as a method of keeping track of my hair journey. And I never anticipated that I would’ve found…
Do you guys realize it’s been over a year since I big chopped? I’m so proud of myself for surviving a year with short natural hair. And after a year (plus a couple of months now), my hair is still short and I still have bad hair days. But I’m narrowing down my favorite techniques, products, and styles. And best…
It was 6 months since my big chop and I needed to record a video for my youtube channel. In it, I’m removing my box braids from January and giving you the low down on my natural hair journey so far. You’ll see where my hair is a year after my last relaxer, what my favorite curl defining creams have…
When last we met up, I was getting back into finger coils. And as much as I love them, it takes over an hour (with interruptions) to coil my whole head. Which isn’t terrible for an every 10-14 day style. But I got tired of it real quick. So for a few weeks, I went to a styling technique that…
For the past few weeks, I’ve been bouncing all over the place. And doing my best to keep up with my hair. Deep conditioning with heat was on the back burner, but I did my best to, at the very least, slather on some conditioner before trying to style my hair. …some weeks, I didn’t even make it to the…
After last week’s finger coils fail, I attempted it once again this past weekend. And it was another hot mess. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or the products I’m using aren’t working well with it. But regardless of the reason why I can’t get it together, I’ll be leaving ‘full out’ finger coils alone for a while.…
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. This has been the only oil that I’ve used in my hair regimen for the past month. Based on the ingredients included, these are the purported hair benefits of this Ayurvedic…
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…
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…
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…
