Cool fall weather has finally arrived and we are in full swing with our fall holiday activities. You know, Fall Festivals, Pumpkin Patches, State Fair fun, and Halloween, of course. They’re a lot of fun, but they can also eat up the entire weekend. While this is my favorite time of year, it’s also the busiest because it is the…
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…
My daughter is 3 years old now and somehow I am still experimenting with her hair. I don’t have many products set in her hair regimen. The only real constant is that I always condition, add a leave-in, oil and gel prior to braiding her hair. Her hair is growing, but I know there is room for improvement, especially as…

After six weeks, I was ready to remove my box braids for a full wash day. I loved having these box braids and plan on installing them again in May. The hair kept up so well. There was no fraying or frizzing, which I do attribute to the hair that I chose to use (X-pression 100% Kanekalon synthetic hair). By six…
