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…
I keep telling myself, “one of these days, I’m going to wear my hair in an afro. Not today, but one day for sure.” My hesitation comes from it becoming a complete fail. And so I’ve only been doing my wash and go coils because I trust them. But here I am almost two weeks since this last wash day…
HELLO OUT THERE!!!! Can you believe it has been a little over 2 months since I big chopped?!? Sometimes I find myself shaking my head in amazement that I cut all my hair off! But then I think about why I did it and I’m happy I took the leap of faith. I’m definitely not walking around looking like an…
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…
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…
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.…
