After three months of bi-weekly wash days, I’ve finally succumb to the fact that my hair needs to be deep conditioned every week — it just has to happen. Moisturizing daily or a couple times a week just doesn’t do it for my hair. My hair feels and looks great on wash day but by
For once, I’ve been wonderfully consistent with my hair supplements. I was taking them almost every day like clockwork. And probably about a month ago, I started to notice that my scalp at the crown felt tender or sore. It wasn’t so much so that it was painful, but it was this thing happening in
The second part of my current hair regimen is a list of the products I will be relying on to maintain it. These are technically my current favorites. But more than half of them have been a part of my hair care routine for YEARS, which is why I labeled them my staple hair products.

I was really worried about it and that worry partial fueled my disinterest in all things hair. But between my relaxer prep wash day and this weekend’s
After hiding from my hair for the past few months, it was finally time to give my hair a lot of attention. If you remember, I was dealing with so much post partum shedding that it made wash days depressing. I pretty much lost ALL my edges. In November, I installed box braids. But because
