I’ve always talked about long term protective styles, but I haven’t actually done one since starting my hair journey. A major element to my personal journey is that I do my hair myself. Taking control of my hair, learning to be self sufficient, and doing things on my own terms is what makes this exciting for me. But being d.i.y. has…
Yes, you read that right. I’m in the midst of a set back. I’ve already taken steps to address it, which I’ll share. But first let me tell you what I think happened.
I bought these french bouffant rollers a while ago, like before my relaxer six months ago. And can you believe I completely forgot I had them? Can you say product junkie? They were the whole reason that I came up with the idea to do a product haul back in July and I forgot to even include them in there, lol. But I…
There are currently three neutralizing shampoos in my hair product stash and it’s time to figure out which one is best. The showdown is between Design Essentials Milk & Honey Neutralizing Shampoo, Elasta QP Stop Action Shampoo and Mizani pHormula-7 Neutralizing & Chelating Shampoo. I will say that none of them are horrible, but there is a very clear winner…
I literally lost track of this relaxer stretch. I’m not sure how it happened, but I had no idea whether I had relaxed my hair in March or April. :/ That’s why every time I updated you guys there was a four week swing, lol. Thankfully after looking back at my social media posts last week, I figured out that I was…
One thing about me and my hair journey is that I am pretty consistent with what I do. And one of my main constants is protective styling with a bun. Before this summer, I was sure that I would be a bun wearer for life. But things changed abruptly after experimenting with a new protective style. I’m not even sure what…
Hey Guys! It has been a while since I’ve posted a video to my YouTube channel. To fix that, I posted my first Hair Product Haul video today. I don’t normally do these, but recently I’ve been purchasing a lot. And once I realized how everything was piling up on me, it was a no brainer that I should share…
After longer hair, the next most important thing a girl on a hair journey seeks is thicker hair. And we’ve all seen posts and videos sharing tips for thicker hair. But when you’ve made all the changes to your hair regimen and you’re still dealing with thin hair or the even more frustrating thinning hair, it’s time to dig deeper. When women…
If you’ve been following my hair journey for a while, you know that my hair journey focuses on treating my hair well once it’s grown from my scalp. And while I have dabbled in using growth aids here and there, I haven’t taken it too seriously. But at the end of last year, I started taking a multivitamin that had ingredients to promote…
I have been all about this flat twisted protective style lately, which has been such an easy way to get through wash day in less than an hour. I’ve been DCing or cowashing twice a week and retwisting my damp hair (Products I’ve been using: As I Am Coconut Cowash, Chi Infra Treatment, Biolage Detangling Solution or KeraMinerals Smoothing Conditioner).…
